Subject:

Licensee Engineering Initiatives Nuclear power- plant ' licensees, industry groups, professional societies, and the

'NRC have devoted substantially increased attention to nuclear power plant engi-neering program enhancements in recent years. Many -licensees have undertaken significant positive initiatives in the engineering area, including design; basis document (DBD) updates, safety system functional inspections, and other engi-neering' program improvements.

In. order to share experiences 'and foster a disciplined and coorJinated a aproach -

to engineering initiatives, licensees in the NRC Region V area ~have esta>l1shed an Engineering Managers' Forum. This forum has held several meetings since-it was-initiated in 1988,:and-has issued a formal charter plus two guideline docu -

ments dealing with plant. design basis documentation and.other engineering pro--

grams. Appropriate liaison has been provided with_.INP0 and NUMARC regarding the forum efforts and-guidelines. -The forum plans to issue additional guide-lines, on subjects which include engineering backlog, spare parts, and qualifi-cation of.engit- ers. Forum menters have indicated that their counterparts in NRC Regions II and III are also in the process of setting up similar working groups.-

I encourage you and other power reactor licensees in Region I to initiate a similar initiative that would provide for the sharing of information and ex-periences involving engineering initiatives and solution of problems common to all.. A cooperative effort of this nature would promote efficiency and enhance the effectiveness of nuclear power plant engineering activities.

The current chairman of the Region V Engineering Managers' Forum is Mr. John Allen of Arizona Public Service Company, telephone (602) 340-4181. If you should de-sire additional information regarding the approach being taken by their forum, you EM P300RD cog - g fOk 00$[ $$$8 ~ch p4
