April 13, 1993 Docket No. 50-285 Mr. Terry L. Patterson Division Manager - Nuclear Operations Omaha Public Power District 444 South 16th Street Mall Mail Stop 8E/EP4 Omaha, Nebraska 68102-2247 l
Dear Mr. Patterson:
SUBJECT:
SPECIAL AUDIT OF CONTROL PROCESSES FOR COMMITMENTS AND CURRENT LICENSING BASIS (TAC N0. M860ll)
The Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) is conducting audits at a cross section of reactor plants to assess the processes used by licensees in controlling changes to their current licensing basis. The staff's study of l
current licensing basis is important to the NRC with respect to activities involving license renewal. This effort follows up on earlier NRR audits that recognized variations in the methods different licensees use to manage their current licensing basis and their commitments made to the NRC.
The current audits will assess the processes in more depth and evaluate the safety significance of any process weaknesses identified.
The audit team will arrive at the Omaha Public Power District's corporate offices on April 19,1993, for a 5-day visit at the offices and the Fort Calhoun site. The team is comprised of Steven Stein, James Beall, Anthony D' Angelo, ar.d myself. The team will conduct an entrance meeting on the afternoon of April 19, during which the team would appreciate a brief presentation on your programs and processes for controlling the Fort Calhoun licensing basis.
Specifically, the presentation should address maintaining and updating your Final Safety Analysis Report, managing commitments made to the NRC, and reporting changes to commitments and the licensing basis to the i
NRC.
Emphasis should be placed on how you determine the basis for reporting changes to the plant, procedures, and previously made commitments.
The team will evaluate the control programs for your licensing basis by reviewing your responses and commitments to several previously selected issues. These issues are:
1.
10 CFR 50.62 Anticipated Transients Without Scram 2.
Generic Letter 88-14:
Instrument Air System Problems Affecting Safety-Related Equipment 3.
Generic letter 89-13:
Service Water System Problems Affecting Safety-i Related Equipment lh f_
