Gentlemen:
This refers to the team assessment of the Safety Enhancement Program conducted
by Mr. T. F. Westerman and other NRC personnel during the period April 2-6,
1990, of activities authorized by NRC Operating License DPR-40 for the Fort
Calhoun Station, and to the discussion of our findings with you-and other
members of Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) at the conclusion of the
F
assessment.
The enclosed report presents the results of the team assessment that was
performed to evaluate the status of the Safety Enhancement Program (SEP),
1
The NRC team reviewed selected SEP items and focused on the effectiveness and
results achieved.
OPPD reported that, at the time of this inspection, 61 of
72 SEP items were completed and 20 items were closed.
Closed meant that
independent verification and validation was complete and all identified
weaknesses. resolved.
>
The team observed that the SEP items were not, in some cases, being referenced
in the affected procedures (completion of institutionalization),. performance'
indicators had not been developed in some cases, and/or more representative
1ndicator data were available. These observations are being brought to your-
attention'for consideration as enhancements to the closure process.
It was
also the team's observation that, during the approximately 2 years of the
existence of the SEP, five individuals have been assigned at various times to
oversee the completion of the-items contained in the SEP.
This has resulted in
,
'
an apparent lack of continuity in resolving some issues identified during
previous NRC assessments.
It is our understanding that you will address this
concern and that a full-time OPPD employee has been assigned until the oversight
s
function is completed.
I
The team's review indicated that the SEP Item 55 commitment to install alarms
I
on all very high radiation area doors had not been interpreted by OPPD to
include similar entrances which utilized hatches.
It is our understanding that
you will provide a letter by May 4,1990, to Region IV to describe your action
with regard to this SEP item.
