UNITS 1 AND 3 OPERATIONAL READINESS PROGRAM INTRODUCTION This enclosure provides an overview of the Unit 2 Operational Readinees Program, a discussion of lessons learned, a description of the differences between the Unit 2 and the Units 1 and 3 Operational Readiness Program, and an outline of the program to transfer Units 1 and 3 to Browns Ferry Operations.
I OVERVIEW OF THE UNIT 2 OPERATIONAL READINESS PROGRAM The purpose of the Unit 2 Operation Readiness Program was to 7rovide i.A j
management with assurance that the required eyetems were oportble, the l
organization was in place and personnel were able to conduct r perations l
safely, and the activities, programs, and commitmonte required for Unit 2 restart were complete.
This comprehensive effort was considered necessary because of the extended duration of *he outage, changes in the site and l
support organizationa, realignment of responsibilities, implementation of new l
programs to correct past problems, and the extsnsive plant upgrades j
implemented during the outage.
This program was described by TVA in i
References 1 through 5.
NRC review and approval of this program is documented j
in References 6 and 7.
NRC inepections of Unit 2 readiness to operate are documented in References 8 through 14.
i A tiered approach was used to evaluate the readiness of BFN Unit 2 to operate.
The three primary elements weret A Senior Management Assessment of Rectart Team (SMART) provided an e
overview of the restart preparations. This team consisted of TVA Vice Presidents within Nuclear Power.
Their ultimate purpose was to provide
(
a recommendation for plant restart to TVA's Senior Vice President, l
Nuclear Power.
1 Independent reviews were performed by internal TVA Organizations, e
l including an Operational Readiness Review performed at the direction of the Senior Vice rresident, Nuclear Power.
Independent reviews by external organizations included the American Nuclear Insurers, Nuclear Mutual Lituited, and the Institute for Nuclear Power Operations (INPO).
A Browns Ferry Self Assessment for Operational Readiness Program was j
conducted.
This site program verified the completion of restart commitments, addressed organization and program readiness using an INPO type self assessment, and ensured the implementation of a methodology for returning systems to service.

SELF-ASSESSMENTS FOR OPERATIONAL READINESS The self~ assessments for operational readiness consisted of three elements:
the site managed BFN Operational Readiness Program, the " Walking Your Spaces" and' focused self-assessments.- A summary of each of these reviewa is Program, _
provioed below:
OPERATIONAL PEADINESS PROGRAK The site managed self assessments for operational raadiness of Unit 2 addrossed the following three primary proaram clementet a
Implementation of the Browns Ferry a2 clear Performance Plan commitments e
Pn evaluation of performance objectives for principal organizations e
. - Verification of restart prerequisites.
A summary of-each of these reviews is provided as follows:
Browns Ferry Nuclear Performance Plan Implementation The first. element of the site managed Operational Readiness Program ensured that the BFNPP restart commitments were resolved prior to restart.
This program ensured that major restart commitments, such as Appendix R and Environmental Qualification, were completed.
Performance Objectivos Evaluation The second_ element._of the site. managed Operational Readiness Program involved the establishment and assessment of performance objectives. ~The purpose of the performance objective evaluation was to ensure that line organizations functioned effectively and were prepared for plant restart and operations.
This effort was considered necessary-because of-the extended duration of the outage, - changes in the plant organizationa,- raslignment of responsibilities,
-implementation of_new programs to correct past problems, and the_ extensive plant upgrades implemented during the outage. The performance objectives evaluation was an assesement of station personnel, programs, practices, and management effectiveness using industry standards of excellence as guidance for comparison to actual plant practices. This site conducted activity functioned in a manner similar to an INPO evaluation.

UNITS 1 AND 3 OPERATIONAL READINESS PROGRAM (CONTINUED)
Restart Prerequisites Verification The third element of the BFN Operational Readiness Program involved the development and verification of checkliste to ensure that equipment status oupported restart. The purpose of those checklists was to provide e systematic method to ensure that open work and outstanding programmatic items affecting system operability were dispositioned prior to declaring a system operable. The checklists addressed the following areas:
Maintenance / work request backlog outstanding ho).d orde a e
e Modification status Temporary alterations e
Surveillance scatus e
e Preventative maintenance status e
Instrument maintenance status Chemirtry control e
Restart testing e
outstanding equipcent problems e

" WALKING YOUR SPACES" PROGRAM The " Walking Your Spaces' program was a one-time, limited duration program focused on ine,reasing mar.agement awareness of field activities and presence in the field. Corrections were made on the spot or documented for later attention as necessary. Each manager reported either verbally or in writing tne significant results of his walking spaces to his immediate supervisor.
This was a one-time, limited duration program which was concluded prior to the restart of Unit 2.
FOCUSED SELF-ASSESSMENTS Several focused self-assesPments were conducted in the early stages of the recovery effort to provide in-depth reviews of plant functional areas.
The purpose of these assessments aan to compare actual plant performance to site performance objectives and other performance criteria based on establiohed standards of excellence (e.g.,
The following subjects were selected for the focused self-assessments:

LESSONS LEARNED SENIOR MANAGEMENT ASSESSMENT OF RESTART TEAM (SMART) OVERVIEW The SMART provided valuable oversight and shared the combined experience of senior Nuclear Power managers. The SMAR7 review will be repeated as part of the return to service of BFN Units 1 and 3.
INDEPENDENT REVIEH; The independent external reviews and QA audite and oversight provided objective and constructive guidance from unconstrained viewpoints.
The normal periodic reviews by INPO, the American Nuclear Insurers, and Nuclear Mutual Limited will be included in the Operation Readiness Program for Units 1 and 3.
The QA runction-for Units 1 and 3 has been augmented by technical audits of the contractors; these reviews will be included in the Units 1 and 3
. Operational-Readiness Program.
The purpose of the Unit 2 Operational Readiness Review Team was to evaluate personnel performance and standards. Adequate levels of personnel performance have been established and con:inue to be monitored.
The restart of Unit 2 and its coratinued safe operation demonstrateu that this objective has been met.
Since,-the focus of_the Units 1 and 3 Restart Organization and its Operational Readiness Program is in readying the units for restart,-an opposed to operational management activities, an'independenc Operational' Readiness Review Team is not required in the Units 1 and -3 Operational Readiness Program.
However the need for additional staffing to support the operation of additional' unit (c) will be included as part of the Evaluation of Performance Objectives-Unique to__ Units-1 and-3 Return to Service.

'The BFN Unit-2 Operational Readiness Program used a checklist approach to ensure that equipment statun supported rustart. There chocklinte provided a systematic method to onnure that open work, outstanding programmatic itema af fecting system cperability, and requitsd nyotem testing cni open items weru dispositioned prior to declaring a system operable. Dateiled descriptions of the' System'Preoperability Checklist (SPOC) and System Plant Acceptance

Items e
included in the SPAE checklint (auch as drawing updates,. closure of. unverified assumptions-used-in engineering calculationn, etc.) were, in_many canos, disponitioned just prior to the return of a system to service. Tho ability to dnfine the scope of work required to resurn Units 1 and 3 to corvice early in the outage recovery process allown Units 1 and 3 to coordinate thio work it a more systematic method._ Closure of items will'ho more closely tied to completion of-the essociated programs.
Therefort, Units 1 and 3 SPAE processes-will utilize enhanced checklints which reflect the incorporation of many of_the detailed checkliets into the cloaare proceanos of the individuel programs.
e The Unit 2 perfcrmance' objective evaluation er.aured that line organizationd
-function effectively and were prepared for plant restart and operations. The succeauful restart and continued operation of Unit 2 demonstrate the
~
successful completion of this objective.
Since Unita 1 and 2 will be-returned to service by the same organization responsible for the restart and operations of Unit 2, a separate ra-evaluation of the operations organization and its programs and procedures is not_necessary. _However, an evaluation of the 11ncreased staffing: requirements caused by the return to service of additional
' unit (s)Ewill be included au part of the Evaluation of tne Unique Aspects of Multi-unit Operation.
i The focused self-assonomento performed by site organizatione prict to the restart of_B(N Unit 2 provided in-depth reviews of plant functional areas ab (well as o,..luations of identified problems. The-purpose of'these assessments was_to compare actual plant performance to site performance objectives and other performance criteria based on established standarda of excellence. The Browne' Ferry Operations organization continues to monitor performance trende during Unit 2 operations and will continue to monitor performance as Unita 1 and 3 are-turned over and returned to service. Additional focused self-asseenments as part of the Units 1 and 3~ operational readiness program is

Evaluation of the Unique Aspects of Multi-unit Opo ntion The purpose of the Unit 2 performance objective evaluation was to ensure that line organizations function offectively and were prepared for plant restart and operations.
Tha performance objectives evaluation wat an assessment of station personnel, programs, practices, and management effectiveness using induntry standards of excellence as guidance for comparison to actual plant practices.. The evaluation of Units 1 and 3 will focus on the staffing, experience, qualifications and training of the additional Drowns Ferry operations personnel required to support the return to service, opc-ratione,'
and maintenance of-the additional units.
Verification of Restart Prerequisites The BFN Unit 2 Operational Readinese Program involved the development and verification of checklists to ensure that equipment status supported reatart and that start-up commitments and programs were completed.
The ability to
-define the scope of work required to return Units 1 and 3 to service early in the o'itage recovery process allows Units 1 and 3 to coordinate this work in a tore systematic method. This enhancement to the restart process allows BFN to
- implemont: improvements to.the restart prerequinites verification process.
' completion of itemt such as drawing updates, closure of unverified assumptione used in engineering calculations, maintenance requests, etc.,.will be more closely tied to completion of the associaced programs. Therefore, t?e checklists associated with the return to service of Units 1 and 3 systems will not require the same level of detail associated with the Unit 2 SPAE processes.
CONCLUSION TVA's overall commitment to.ase; independent and self assesuments programs, in order to achieve end maintain excellence, remains unchanged.
The overall Units 1 and 3 Operational Peadiness Program will proceed.i. a manner similar to the Unit 2 precedent. The Units 1 and 3 operational h adiness Program will result in the same level of assurance as the unit 2 program.
