BROWNS FERRY NUCLEAR Pl. ANT (BFN) UNIT 2 - REPORT OF NUCLEAR POWER OPERATIONAL READINESS-REVIEW (ORR), PHASE TWO i
On,May l', 1989, I convened an ORR Team for the purpose of assessing the readiness of BFN Unit 2 for restart. The first phase look at the state of readiness;was provided in an ORR Team interim report which was forwarded to the NRC by my: letter of June 16. 1989. The second phase of tho ORR Team review was completed in March 1990 and the report forwarded to the NRC by my letter of March 9, 1990.
The-final phase of-the ORR Team review has now been completed ~and the report is forwarded herein for your information. The objective of the ORR Team was
-to review the qualification and motivation of personnel at.BFN Unit 2 and the availability of necessary support for safe and reliable testing, operation, end. maintenance.of the unit.- The. team members reported directly to me and were independent of BFN management.
The' team's. forwarding memorandum for the final phase' report, enclosed with the report,-concludes _that BFN has the ability to safely resume Unit'2 nuclear operations upon. completion of restart work and. planned operator training.
ThisLeonclusion was primarily based on adequate progransnatic controls, continued: resolution of previously identified problems, and an active management. program.to thoroughly investigate and address the causes of emergent problems..The ORR team niso noted that senior site and plant
- management generally exhibit the high standards and questioning attitude
!necessary to-improve'BFN performance. The report also discuwscs a number.of
-observations. 'There.are being aggressively pursued-and all corrective actions will be evaluated:as to whether completion is required prior to restart.
