Subject:

Progress Update for Braidwood Station Braidwood Nuclear Power Station Units 1 and 2 NRC Docket Nos. 50-456.50-457

Reference:

John C. Brons letter, to U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, dated December 26,1995.

]

in December 1995, Comed presented information to the NRC staff regarding performance i

goals for each of the Comed Nuclear Power Stations. During that meeting, Braidwood

. Station provided a list of goals on human performance and materiel condition issues to be completed prior to April 30,1996. This list is included in the referenced letter. Attached is summary of how Braidwood Station did in achieving these stated goals. A strong emphasis has been made at the Station to focus on equipment and employee performance, both of which are important factors in meeting the listed goals.

Overall, Braidwood Station realized many of the equipment performance goals. The Station has been challenged in meeting goals associated with human performance issues. As a result, this area is a major focus in the Improvement Initiatives being addressed by the Station.

If there are any questions or comments concerning this letter, please refer them to me at (815) 458-2801, extension 3600.

Respectfully, f

a SIGNIFICANT WORK ACTIONS STATUS AS OF APRIL 30,1996 Human Performance hnplentent Correctiveitetions Group Special Projects Group was established at the Station in January 1996. This group works with line management and provides resources for implementing corrective actions related to performance or process deficiencies identified through self assessments.

hnprove Utilization of the Problem Identifcation Systent The problem identification process was revised at Braidwood. The new process was imp %mented following a procedure revision (BwAP 1250-2, Revision 4). This procedure revision was approved on March 5,1996. Two of the new features include the following.

Provide timelv feedback to initiators ofPIFs One change made to the problem identification process is that timely feedback is provided to initiators of Problem Identification Forms (PIFs). Generally, feedback is given within five working days, Imorove trendine ofdata to provide more meaninefid information to line e

manaeers Data trending has improved. A Trend Analyst was appointed in September,1995 to identify potential trends. In addition, trends are assigned to Senior Managers for accountability and the status of trends are discussed weekly during Braidwood Leadership Meetings. There has been an increase in adverse trend identification (1994-16,1995-22, and 1996-11 as of April 30,1996).
