Mr. W. Cavanaugh III President and C00 P. O. Box 1551 Raleigh, NC 27602 Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
CONFIRMATORY ACTION LETTER On April 21, 1992, Carolina Power & Light Company (CP&L) management made a decision to shut down both Brunswick units because of concerns with the seismic qualifications of the interior Diesel Generator Buildir.g walls.
During this extended shutdown, additional findings reinforced NRC concerns about the material condition of the station, as well as management effectiveness, and resulted in my June 23, 1992 request of CP&L to submit an integrated performance improvement plan.
CP&L has responded to that request with submittals of July 23, 1992 and November 30, 1992, describing both unit restart actions and longer-term corporate improvement initiatives.
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, and your letters dated July 23, 1992 anc November 30, 1992, it is our understanding that you agree to complete the specific issues identified for Unit 2 in Enclosure 3 of your July 23, 1.992 letter prior to restart of the unit.
In addition to the above, you agreed to:
Repair and test EDG 1 ano inspect EDG 2, 3, and 4 as described in the December 10, 1992, CP&L presentation to the NRC; perform a readiness review of equipment and personnel prior to restart; and meet with the NRC to provide the results of your readiness review and obtain concurrence of the Regional Administrator prior to restart of Unit 2.
Pursuant to Section 182 of the Atomic Energy Act, 42 U.S.C. 2232, and 10 CFR 2.204, you are required to:
l-1)
Notify me immediately if your understanding differs from that set forth above,.
2)
Notify me if for any reason you cannot complete the actior.s within l
the specified schedule and advise me in writing of your modified l
schedule in advance of the change, and l
l 3)

in this Confirmatory Action Letter.
