===1.
Background===
i 1
NRC Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) No. 86-10 of April 12, 1986 and the August 27, 1986 supplement identified specific technical issues to be re-1
(.
solved prior to facility restart.
In addition, due to other long-term i
l management,hardwareandprogramissues,BostonEdisonCompany(BEco)sub-i mitted a formal power ascension program to the NRC. As specified in the l
l licensee's NRC-accepted Power Ascension Test Program, the program included NRC Regional Administrator approval points at 5%, 25%, 50%, 76% of full power, as well as requiring a licensee formal assessment and NRC review after completion of the Power Ascension Program, which includes testing at full power.
By letter dated October 6,1989, Mr. William T. Russell, Regional Admini-strator for NRC Region I, autiierized BEco to proceed beyond the fifth approval point and conduct power operations up to full power. By letter j
dated Ogcember 14, 1989, the NRC received the licensee's Final Assessment Report. This enclosure provides (1) the NRC's assessment of the 11cen-see's performance since the last holdpoint; (2) results of the NRC Restart Staff review of the Final Assessment Report; and (3) results of the NRC i
Restart Assessment Pinel review of the completed Power Ascension Program.
!!. Chronology of Significant Plant Events l
October 6, 1989 Licensee received NRC agreement to proceed from fifth NRC approval point.
October 7 & 12, 1989 On October 7,1989 with reactor power at l
about 89% and subsequently on October 12, j
1989 with reactor power at 2005, the "A" l
recirculation motor generator (M-G) set tripped when both the motor drive breaker and the generator field breaker opened.
In both instances, reactor power stabill ed at each transient. The about 605 followingA" M-G set remains locked scoop tube on the up at this time and the licensee is continu-ing to troubleshoot the M-G set.
October 10, 1989 Pilgrim plant reached 2005 power.

1 October 12-13, 1989 The licensee conducted a full scale energency preparedness exercise on October 12-13, 1989.
Assessment by the NRC determined that the ~
(
on-site portion of the drill was successful and licensee actions would have protected the public health and safety.
October 13,h 1989 Licensee successfully completed second phase i
(hot standby to cold shutdown)(of Shutdown from Outside the Control Room $DOCR) test.
October 13 -
Licensee successfully conducted a mini-outape November 6, 1989 to perform scheduled maintenance and survei lance activities for the plant.
November 6, 1989 The Pilgrim plant was taken critical at 12:08 p.m.
The plant was limited to 94%
power due to inconsistent performance of the "A" recirculation motor generator set speed l
control mechanism.
December 6, 1989 Fo11gping a minor modification to the "A" recirculation motor generator (M G) set speed control circuitry, the M-G set tripped with the reactor power at about 97% when the generator field breaker opened due to gene-rator field undervoltage.
The reactor power stabilized at about 55% of rated power.
Licensee troubleshooting identified a failed resistor in the M-G set voltage regulation circuitry 4.nd a degraded resistor in the M G set speed control circuitry which might have caused the M-G set trip.
After replacement of the resistors and testing of additional components, the "A" recirculation M-G set was returned to service.
December 8, 1989 Automatic reactor scram from about 95% power on a false low reactor water level signal during calibration of a reactor vesse' level l
instrument.
The scram occurred while Instrument & Con-trols technicians were restoring the level o
instrument to service. When an isolation valve to the instrument rack containing the "A" and "B" reactor level and pressure transmitters was opened, a pressure spike in
4 I
3 1
the common variable leg caused the lower reactor water level scraa signal. There was no actual low water level condition.
December 11, 1989 The plant was returned to service. Power reached about 95% on December 14, 1989, and remained there because the electrical grid Ioad dispatcher requested the' plant to defer 4 power reduction to adjust the control rods to their full power pattern.
I December 14, 1989 Test program was completed at the 755 to full power plateau as described in the August 31,-
1988 Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station Power Ascension Program.
One cperation originally scheduled for the i
100% power plateau (the recirculation pump motor generator scoop tube position deter-minat en) has not been completed. This operation will be performed at a later date.
The licensee revised the Power Ascension Program to reflect this change in accordance with the process set forth in the second Supplement to CAL 86-10.

This report summarizes the results of the l
I self-astessments and evaluations which Boston Edison has conducted throughout im-plementation of the PNFS Restart Plan and Power Ascenston Program.
4 January 2,1990 The plant reached full power.
January 4,1990 The licensee presented results of the Power Ascension Program, with emphasis on the 75%
to full power plateau to the hRC Pilgrie Restart Assessment Panel.
This presentation was at a annagement meeting which was open-to the public.

Plant status and equipment operability; b.
Management / personnel performance and oversight activities; I

Staff assessment, updated through January 15, 1990, of licensee per-formance during the 75% to full power plateau of the Power Ascension Test Program, a.
Plant Status and Ecutoment Operability The licensee has determined and the NRC is satisfied that equip-ment required for normal full power operations is operable.
When equipment inoperabilities have occurred, the licensee has handled them conservatively and within Technical Specification j
requirement;,. One equipment problem identified during the Power Ascension Test Program remains unresolved: the tripping of the "A" recirculation pump motor generator (M-G) while in manual-i remote mode at high flow conditions. On October 7, 1989 with reactor power at about 89%, on October 12,1989 with reactor at.
l 100% and subsequently on December 6,1989 with reactor at about 37%, the M-G set tripped when the generator field breaker opened due to generator field undervoltage.
Each time, reactor power stabilized at about 5W to 60% of rated power following the
(
Licensee investigation and troubleshooting have f ailed to identify a conclusive reason for these M-G set trips.
The "A" Recirculation M-G set scoop tube is " locked up" at this time.
On January ll,1990, one of the five deep-draf t salt service water pumps was dropped about one foot to the ground after re-l moval from the system as it was being positioned for mainten~
i ance. The drop caused brittle fracture of one of the pump's five eight-foot shaft casing columns. Based on the design mate-rial properties on the column, it should have failed in a duc-tile manner, if at all. The licensee is conducting an expedited evaluation of this event and also plans to inspect the other four pumps once the fifth is repaired. The licensee is confi-dent that the stress of the drop was significantly higher than any combination of design stresses for an installed pump and is completing confirmatory calculations. However, the licensee has indicated that, should one of the four in-service pumps fail and a similar column failure cannot be ruled out as the cause, the r

would apply.
NRC Region I is closely following licensee activi-l ties.
Required non-safety-related equipment is in a condition that supports safe plant operation. $urveillance tests are up to-i date with no significant identified discrepancies. The 11cen-see's management review of facility operation up to full power operation is complete.
Operation of the' facility was conducted in a safe manner and concerns raised by the NRC and BEco manage-L ment regarding facility operations were appropriately addressed.
L In summary, the NRC Restart Assessment Panel is satisfied that equipment required for continuation of normal full power opera-tion is operable.
b.
Management / personnel performance and Oversicht Activities The NRC Restart Staff has continued to monitor management and personnel performance since start-up. BEco management has been generally responsive to N,RC concerns and has acted in a cautious, deliberate manner.
Licensee peer evaluators were observed and have been providing good feedback to plant personnel. Operators t
were generally knowledgeable of their duties and plant condi-tions and management maintains an active and effective oversight of operations.
Operators responded very well to events that occurred during this phase of the PATP, These events included three recircula-tion pump motor generator trips and one reacter scram.
The Restart inspection Statf observed Phase 11 of the licentea's Shutdown from Outside the Control Room ($DOCR) test. The licen-see's preparation, communications, and command and control were excellent.
Test persennel were aware of their responsibilities, skilled in their assignments, and demonstrated excellent plant knowledge, autek thinking and effective teawork.
l From preparation through execution, this test was performed in a safe and satisfactory manner. Phases I and II of the Shutdown from Outside Control Room Demonstration were two cases of exem-plary performances by the licensee's operations department dur-ing the PATP.
During the 75% to 100% power plateau, management performed in a L
generally cautious, deliberate manner. Management was observed maintaining an active oversight of operations and actively

From October 13 through November 6,1989 the licensee conducted 4 mini-outage in order to perfore scheduIed maintenance and sur-l veillance activities. The NRC Restart $taff determined that overe11, the October sint-outage was conducted in 'an extremely professional, well-organized and conservative manner. Particu-larly noteworthy were the conservative management decisions made 1
at several junctures during the outage. Operations staff cogni-j zance of maintenance activities during the outage was superior to that observed during the preceding nine months of the PATP.
2 During this assessment period, the NRC Restart Staff audited selected tagout documents generated during the October mainten-ance outage. The audit consisted of about fif ty completed tag-i outs and five active tagouts.
Review of the tegouts revealed
-that over 80', of the tagouts contained some error or omission.
Over 30% of the reviewed tagouts had significant errors such as tags hung or cleared by individuals other than those specified on the tagout and, in one case, tags cleared without Nuclear Watch Engineer signature.
In a sampling of approximately ten tagouts involving work which required the lif ting of leads or
, the installation of jumpers, over 50% of the jobs were not entered in the Lif ted Lead and Jumper Log.
Four of the in-stances noted involved the replacement of safety-related com-ponents (e.g. Reactor Level Transmitter; Olesel Generator Emer-gency Start Relay).
l 1
The licenser confirmed the NPC findings, identified possible causes and has detailed a corrective action and prevention pro-t gram.
Ir.cluded as part of this program is the promulgation of a new procedure requiring periodic tag audits and a one-time Qual-ity Assurance tagging audit to be completed early in 1990. It should be noted that no hardware problems were identified (e.g.
tags were hung on the correct valves). Licensee follow-up of this 1 Hue has beun appropriate, These fir. dings confirm previous NRC assessments that have con-cluded that, while performance is acceptable and continues to improve, the areas of procedural adherence and attention-to-detail require continued licensee management attention and NRC monitoring.
The NRC Restart Assessment Panel has concluded that the licensee management and plant staff performance support continued full l-l power operation.

Power Ascension Testina Program Adeevacy f
The licensee's Power Ascension Test Program was completed in i
accordance with the licensee's commitments documented in the December 30, 1988 supplement to Confirmatory Action Letter 86-10. No significant problems or technical issues were out-standt g as a result of impluenting this program.
One operation originally scheduled for the 2005 power plateau, the recirculation pump motor generator scoop tube position de-termination, has not been completed. This operation will be performed at a later date. The licensu revised the Power Ascension Program to reflect this change in accordance with the r
process set forth in the second supplement to CAL 86-10. The
$taff has reviewed this change during routine inspection and found it acceptable.
The licensee successfully completed the second phase of the
$hutdown from Outside the Control Room Demonstration on October 13, 1989.
The first phase of the $00CR demonstration had been successfully completed on June 29, 1989.
d, power Ascension Test Program Results The NRC is satisfied that tests and conditions required to be completed by the licensee during performance of the NRC-accepted Power Ascension Program up to full power have been completed.
Satisfactory results were achieved during the performance of:
(1) Reactor Engineering Tests; ll' (2
Orywell Temperature Profile Measuremer.ts; (3
Shutdown Outsice the Control P.oom Demonstration (Fhase !!).
Also, the NRC evaluated licensee management and plant staff per-formance during planned periods of normal cperations at about full power and during the maintenance sint-outage. Duringthis t
period, licensee management had, as pitaned, reduced the evel of operations oversight.- The NRC panel has concluded that plant operations are being conducted safely and conserntively.
The NRC has reviewed BEco's actions in response to inspection findings which had potential to impact further reactor opera-tions and found no outstanding issues which would preclude the itcensee from proceeding with normal full power operations.

Review of Licensee Completion of Power Ascension __ Test Program (PATP).
Performance of a Final PATP 5 elf-Assessment, and 5atisfaction of Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) 86-10 The Staff also performed a retrospective overall. review and evalv-ation to assess whether the licensee has successfully and effectively ccepleted the Power Ascension Test Program, has performed a meaning-fui and critical self-assessment and is making appropriate short-term l,
and long term use of lessons laarned.
In the course of this review, I
the staff placeo special etphasis on assessing: (1) the licensee's plans nd measures for transition from the Power Ascension Program to normal operation, (2) the licensee's measures for incorporating lessons learned into permanent programs, and (3) the licensee's plans for continued self-evaivation, self-assessment, and self-improvement.
During its deliberations, the Staff evaluated whether the licensee had fully satisfied CAL 86-10 and whether the CAL should be closed L
- out, i
3.1 Bactoround l
The Second Supplement to Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) 86-10 was issued December 30, 1988 as a letter from William T. Russell (NRC l
RegionI) tor.G. Bird (BEco). This supplement indicated that CAL conditions had been satisfied up to the point of carrying out plant restart and power ascension, and that successful implementation of the Power Ascension Test Program (PATP) was necessary for final l
closeout of the CAL. The supplement further indicated that following completion of the PATP and licensee submittal of a report, the staff would form its independent conclusion regarding program effectiveness l
l
~
Ecciosure 1 9
and would consider final closure of CAL M-10. The Itcensee con-cluded that the PATP was successfully completed and submitted their Final Assessment Report (FAR) of the PATP on December 14, 1989.
4 3.2 Review of Final Assessment Report j
As part of its review of PATP completion and program effectiveness,'s the NRC staff reviewed and evaluated the licensee's FAR.
The staff l
review was coordinated through the NRC Pilgrim Restart Assessment Panel and included the following:
j review of the FAR by Panel members and other staff; discussions with licensee personnel; selected review of FAR back-up material and supporting documents maintained by the licensee; comparison of licensee evaluation and ennc19sions to NRC inspec-tion and review findings; and a management meeting with the licensee on January 4, 1990.
In addition, the staff conducted a smal) number of confirmatory in-spection activities directly related to FAR issues.
These will L J
reported in NRC Inspection Rep, ort 50-293/89-13. The need for the R confirmatory inspections af ter NRC receipt of the FAR was minimal in view of the extraordinary inspection efforts that had been applied throughout the PATP.
The staf f concluded that the FAR represents an acceptable self-assessment and indicates successful completior, of the PATP. The con-tent of the FAR is sumery rather than detailed.
However, it is well-supported by bt.ckup documer,tation maintained by the licensee, i
The licensee managers are knowledgeable and we11-versed in the issues i
involved -- they were able to provide detailed answers to staff ques-tions during the management meeting thd other staf f questioning dur-
)
ing the PATP, The licensee FAR provides a slightly more positive vier. of overall cerformance than NRC inspection documents; however.
tte difference is not significtat. The licensee's final assessment agrees closely with the staf f's assessment regarding safety signi-ficant steas to be targeted for fmther imprevament and continued management attention.
The FAR also identifies reeds for streamlining licensee plans administrative processes for the sake of efficiency;lude degradations for approaching these areas include measures to prec in the level o safety assurance. This will be evaluated in the o
course of future routine inspections as the licensee develops spect-fic changes.
The FAR provides a set of integrated lessons learned and summarizes licensee measures to sustain performance improvements through per-manent and long-term programs. The staff concludes that the licensee l
l 4
m

. ~ _.. _,. _ _.... _ _.. _., _.. -..,,,,
.30 a
has appropriately identified measures for sustaintne improvement.
The NRC $taff identified the following three areas In particular that are key to long-term improvement and will therefore place special emphasis on these areas in our future reviews:
Procedure Upgrade Programs; Procedure Adherence; and Management Oversight and Critical $ elf-Assessment.
With regard to Procedure Upgrade Programs, at the January 4,1990 management meeting the NRC staff and the licensee agreed that the procedure upgrade schedule estimates in Attachment 2 of the FAR are BEco schedular commitments to NRC.
In summary, the staff concludes that the licensee has completed an effective final self-assessment of the PATP and provided an accept-l able report to the NRC.
I 3,3 power Ascension Test Program Completion Previous NRC assessments have dccumented satisfa, tory licensee com-pletionofthePATPuptothe)5%approvalpoint.
Staff inspection and review activities have now concluded that the licensee has com-pleted the PATP through full power, including plant power ascension, testing, periods of normal operation, and a management assessment.
Whe're the licensee has made changes to the details of the program.
they have met the NRC staff stipulations in the CAL 86-10 second Supplement, dated December 30, 1988.
NRC inspection activities re-lated to the final phase of the PATP, operation to full power, will be documented in NRC Inspection Reports 50-293/89-12 and 89-13.
Based on these reviews and on staff review of the FAR described in paragraph 3.2 above, the staff concludes that the licensee has suc-cessfully completed the PATP.
3.4 Licensee Satisfaction of CAL 86-10 The CAL 86-10 Second $cpplement indicated that successful completion of the PATP was necessary for final closeout of CAL 86-10. As dis-1 cussed above, the licensee has successfully completed the PATP and submitted an acceptable report. Although performance lapses and weaknesses have occurred, the extensive licensee efforts since origi-ne) issuance of CAL 86-10 have resulted in significantly improved safety performance when compared to historical performance prior to the CAL.
Further, the licensee has in place an organization and pro-grams capable of using self-assessment processes and lessons learned to sustain and enhance performance.
Therefore, the staff concludes that CAL 86-10 may be closed.

l The staff intends to maintain above-normal attention at the Pilgrim facility. This includes above-normal inspection oversi in part by three resident inspectors; as well as above ght, provided normal atten-tion to Ptigrim by NRC line management. This attention will be evaluated and adjusted as necessary in future years based on the f acility's long-term safety performance.
IV.
Conclusion The NRC Restart Assessment Panel met on January 4,1990 to review the lic-ensee's completion of the. Power Ascension Program and the Final Assessment Report. Boston Edison Company (BEco) had comaleted the Power Ascension Program and submitted their Final Assessment Teport of the Power Ascension Program on December 14, 1989.
The NRC Staff reviewed the Itcensee's Final Assessment Report and concluded that the Final Assessnient Report repre-sents an acceptable self-assessment and indicates successful completion of the Power Ascension Program.
In addition, Staff inspection and review activities have now concluded that the licensee has completed the Power Ascension Program.
The Confirmatory Action Letter 86-10 Second Supplement indicated that successful completion of the Power Ascension Program was necessary for final close out of cal. 05-10.
Based on the above, the $taff concludes that CAL 86-10 may be closed.
The NRC also concludes that, with the completion of the Power Ascension Program,, submittal of the Final Assessment Report and. completion of the conditions of CAL 8610, the work cf the NRC Restart $+.aff and HRC Restart Assessment Panel is complete.
However, NRC attention to Pilgrim will re-main above that typical of a single unit site. A staff of three resident inspectors and enhanced technical anci management attention will continue to be devoted to the site, j

l ENCI.OSURE 2 Current Status of Emereenev Preparedness for the Communities Surroundina the pnerim Station Progress continues to be noted in the state of emergency preparedness for Pilgrim in the successful conduct of the fuD. participation exercise on October 12 13, 1989, completion of renovations for the Massachusetts CMI Defense Agency (MCDA) Area II Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and WeDesley Reception Center, continued resolution of Reception Center issues, and the continued active and visible involvement in the review process by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
The full. participation exercise was conducted on October 12 13, 1989. Each of the j
towns, ie., Carver, Duxbury, Kingston, Marshfield, Plymouth, Bridgewater and Taunton fully participated. Additionally the Commonwealth of Massachusetts CMI Defense Agency, Massachusettr State Police, Massachusetts Department of Public Health, various State Agencies (with representatives in the EOC), selected National Guard units, and Plymouth County fully participated. FEMA observed aU actMties.
Preliminary oral results presented by FEMA at a public meeting conducted on October 16,1989 indicated that no rnajor problem areas were identified. A deficiency report was issued by FEMA on February 1,1990 and indicates deficiencies against j
Massachusetts regarding the timing and content of Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) 1 messages and command and control of the Massachusetts EOC. FEMA wiH require that Massach6setts demonstrate these steas in a remedici exercise within about 60 days.
FEMA has given February 28,1990 ns the current schedule to issue the draft exercise report.
in Plymouth,91 of 92 implementing procedures have been approved in concept by the Board of Selectmen and all have been forwarded to MCDA for review, Pymouth has requemd technical assistance from MCDA regarding the school procedure. All impleme.ntirg procedures except for the school procedure have been forwarded to FEMA for technical review. FEMA has not completed its sciew.
In Duxbury, all implementing procedures have been forwarded to MCDA and FEMA for technical review. FEMA has not completed its review, in an agreement with MCDA, Duxbury has taken the lead in identifying and preparing plans and implementing procedures for host schools at the WeDesley Reception Center.
Preliminary meetings have been conducted with the Needham School System (located near the Wellesley Reception Center) to exchange info.1 nation and additional meetings are scheduled.
In Marshfield, the town is considering naming a host school within the town borders, but greater than 15 miles from the Emergency Planning Zone. MCDA opposes this action. A meeting is scheduled between Marshfield, MCDA and BECO planners on i
1/1*l/89 to discuss this issue. There are no other major issues identified.
9, The other towns, ie., Carver, Kingston, MarshGeld, Biidgewater, and Taunton, have received a copy of FEMA technical review comments concerning their emergency plans and implementing procedures. There are no major issues identiSed and the towns are in the process of addressing FEMA comments. Additional emergency plan and implementing procedure revisions are anticipated to address FEMA issues concerning exercise performance.
Each town provided sffficient staff to conduct the exercise. Personnel to staff those vacancies that still exist;are being actively pursued.
Each town completed sufGelent training to adequately prepare and participate in the exercise. Refresher training will be conducted in 1990. This training will be the similar that provided in 1989, but will capture revisions made to resolve areas identified as needing corrective action as a result of the exercise. The revisions and resultant lesson plan revisions are dependent upon the issuance of the FEMA exercise report.
Progress continues on the reception centers. In Taunton, the reception center is fully operational and was fully demonstrated during the exercise. Renovations to enhance operations are in progress and are scheduled to be completed by April 1,1990. In Bridgewater, all equipment is in the town and available for use at the reception center.
Staffing is complete except for Monitoring and Decontamination Staff. Bridgewater has officially requested MCDA assistance in this area as they can not support that fun: tion.
MCDA anticipates utilizing a local National Guard unit for this function. Renovations at the Bridgewater State College have commenced, but are presently on hold pending resolution of the Monitoring and Decontamination staffing problem. Eridgewater conducted a walk.through of the reception center during the exercise. In Wellesley, renovations are essentially complete for the EOC and decontamination facilities. All equipment is stored at the facility. Red Cross has identified mass case facilities and is l
scheduled to conduct a detailed shelter survey. Parking is available onsite as well as at the Sun Life company and the Massachusetts Bay Community College. Transportation has been arranged for shuttle service from the remote parking areas. All areas are essentially fully staffed. The Emergency Plan and 20 of 21 Implementing Procedures have been drafted. MCDA has tentatively given June 1,1990 as the date the reception l
center will be fully functional, including completion of renovations, planning, staffing and training.
The Public Information Brochure has been published and distribution was completed by September 30,1989. BECO is working with MCDA to publish the telephone number for Telephonic Devices for the Deaf (TDDs).
1 The special needs survey has been completed. The results indicate that the expected number of individuals needing special assistance is consistent with published federal.
guidance. BECO is working with MCDA to enhance the self. identification of special
g needs individuals.

The staff has continued to attend planning meetings with town CMI Defense Directors, local elected officials, Commonwealth and MCDA Area 11 officials that discuss the status of off site emergency preparedness. FEMA continues to be actively involved with the Commonwealth and local towns, attending many meetings and work sessions, as well as the bi mont$y planning meetings. A Regional Assistance Committee meeting was held on October 3,1989 at which Commonwealth and MCDA Area 11 emergency plans and implementing procedures were reviewed.
The attached emergency preparedness summaries provide the January 5,1990 status of selected emergency preparedness issues for each town surrounding the Pilgrim Station, the Commonwealth and MCDA Area Il as compared to that of September 8,1989.
j The staff provided the summaries to the respective town officials through the Civil Defense Directors of each area and subsequently contacted each official to verify the accuracy of the summaries.
