SUBJECT:

PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - BRUNSWICK l

Dear Mr. Campbell:

On March 13, 1997, the NRC staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Brunswick Nuclear Plant. The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear zwer plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. T1e results are used by NRC management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources. The PPR for Brunswick I

involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period October 1996 to March 1997. PPRs provide NRC management with a current summary of licensee wrformance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee I

'erformance (SALP) and Senior Management Meeting (SMM) reviews. l This letter advises you of our planned inspection effort resulting from the 1 Brunswick PPR review. It is provided to m mimize the resource impact on your l staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be i resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite. The enclosure details our I inspection plan for the next 6 months. The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so that you are aware of the reason for emphasis in these program areas. Resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.

During each NRC inspection planned during this period, specific attention will be given to the verification of selected UFSAR commitments. Applicable portion (s) of the UFSAR that relate to the inspection activities will be reviewed and verification made that the UFSAR commitments have been properly implemented into plant practices, procedures and/or parameters. The goal is-to determine the accuracy of the UFSAR regarding existing plant practices and conditions by providing specific attention to the UFSAR when performing various reactor inspections. Inspectors will not be judging the overall completeness of the UFSAR: rather, the inspections will focus on identifying differences between the UFSAR description and the plant.
