SUBJECT:

CONFIRMATION OF ACTIONS LETTER (CAL) - BRUNSWICK UNITS 1 AND 2 The purpose of this letter is to supersede the May 16, 1990 CAL which addressed'-

those actions to be taken with regard to the deficiencies identified during j

operator requalification examinations at Brunswick.

Discussions with you on May 20. 1990, regarding the results. of-operational evaluations conducted in accordance with the May 16,'1990 CAL, prompted a voluntary sequential shutdown i

of both units. Accordingly, on May 21, 1990, a telephone conversation was held with ' members of your staff' to discuss those actions considered necessary to

'. i resolve the situation.

From this discussion, it is our understanding that:

1..

Brunswick Units 1 and 2 will remain shutdown until approval for restart is-granted by the Regional Administrator.

2.

You have removed from licensed duties those individuals who did not pass i

an NRC administered examination or operational evaluation.

3.

You will meet with NRC on May 24, 1990, to provide'your short term plans

-to assure the qualifications of reactor operators.

4.

You will conduct a root cause analysis for the failures of the requalifi-cation examinations and the operational evaluations.

The results of this root cause analysis and the associated long term corrective action plan, i

which will be. incorporated into your Integrated Action Plan, will be i

submitted to the NRC by June 30, 1990.

If your understanding of our discussion is different from the above, please inform this office promptly.

Sincerely, Stewart D. Ebneter Regional Administrator CAL'-50-325,324/90-02 fcc:
