Subject:

Licensee Engineering Initiatives

-1 i

Nuclear power plant licensees, industry groups, professional societies, and the l

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 coordinated a roach I

to engineering initiatives, licensees in the NRC Region V area have esta ished 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 INPO and NUMARC regarding 5

the forum efforts and guidelines.

The forum plans to issue additional guide-lines, on subjects which include engineering aacklog, spare parts, and qualifi-cation of engineers. Forum members have indicated that their counterparts in NRC Regions II and III are also in the process of setting up similar working L

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 cosmon 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
