SALEM EPPR RECOMMENDATION 3 FOR SALEM ASSESSMENT PANEL CONSIDERATION On May 30, 1995, an EPPR was conducted to assess performance at the Salem Generating Station for the period between November 6, 1994, and May 16, 1995.
Since both Salem units were shutdown for an extended period shortly after this EPPR. Subsequently, the Salem Assessment Panel (SAP) was commissioned to plan and coordinate all NRC inspection-related activities for the Salem units.
Consequently, the EPPR recommendations were not initially implemented, but rather deferred for consideration by the SAP. Notwithstanding, the SAP should consider the outcome of the EPPR to assure that the issues are addressed within the scope of planned NRC activities to confirm restart readiness.
i The following is a synopsis of the May 30, 1995, Salem EPPR assessment and V
recommendations:
e Qgerations Operators did not consistently communicate or document plant problems and deficiencies. Support from the maintenance and engineering organizations was inconsistent and tended to vary with the quality of information communicated and documented.
Equipment deficiencies provided frequent challenges to operators at a rate that appeared unchanged and without any perceived achievement of performance improvement. In many instances, operators were remiss in their application of technical specifications. Operability determinations (00) were of inconsistent quality, i.e., generally, ODs that were documented reflected consultation with engineering; while undocumented ODs often exhibited insufficient safety bases or rationale to support a positive operability conclusion.
EPPR Recommendation Consider whether DRP and/or DRP should perform focused inspection relative to the quality of ooerability determinations involving degraded equioment and workarounds. Additionally, the EPPR Tetter should discuss

7 NRC concerns relative to the generally poor quality of operability determinations that has been exhibited.-
]
Maintenance l
High profile maintenance activities receive a high level of management attention. Consequently. the efforts are usually well managed, coordinated, and executed; and the outcomes for such efforts are usually i
successful. Other efforts are usually less that adequate. Some maintenance activities were performed without procedures. The.
]
maintenance organization consistently failed to involve engineering support for the resolution of repetitive equipment failures. Weak root 4
cause (or failure to perform root cause assessments) was evident.
Consequently, corrective actions were usually unsuccessful in effecting i
lasting remediation of equipment problems. Maintenance almost always applied a " broke-fixed" approach to equipment problems involving B0P i
issues; and generally attempted resolution of safety-related equipment in the same manner, with some variance.
I EPPR Recommendation 1
l Regional initiative inspection (Modu'e 62700; 2 to 4 insoectar waah) to j
assess the aggregate safety'effect of the growing tLacklog of unattended I
or uncorrected degraded ' conditions affecting POP and safety-related equipment. The effort should dialnose deficient equipment performance, particularly in systems having several EMIS tags, to determine if
-i increased risk exists relative to failure of the system to perform as
)
designed or expected.
j l
Enaineerina The engineering organization has not aggressively addressed frequent-4 Hagan module configuration control problems. The licensee's level of t
effort reflects 'only minimal progress resolve the issue relative to equipment upgrades or refurbishment. The assembly of resources and establishment of a plan to address the matter has been slow even though a long history of problems exist.
The system engineering organization does not always aggressively pursue or resolve difficult issues. Decision-making is often delayed by extended analysis of issues; and a tendency exists to accept as the root cause the most plausible or perceivable reason for an equipment failure.
Management and operations does not challenge the rationale or basis for conclusions, or expect more than what is delivered.
Incident reports rarely contain well documented root cause assessments. Consequently, corrective action efforts are generally ineffective.
Systemic. problems appear to prevail relative to parts and sunnlies
'available to support modifications, renairs._and design efforts. ~

V-l EPPR Recommendation Regional initiative inspection (Module 62704/38702) to review and assess the extent of problems involving Hagan modules and the resultant safety-effect of the existing configuration control ~ problems. The focus of the initiative is to be on root cause and effectiveness of corrective actions. Additionally, assure that the olannad OS"I effort includes review of procurement engineering effectiveness re' ative to parts control.

PLANT SUPPORT l
Radiation protection progr.am activities, including radioactive waste
]
handling and effluent controls, were well established and performed.
i Emergency preparedness activities were we11' control and managed. The j
security program was generally sound, but assessment aid performance is l
degrading, such that NRC intervention has been necessary to ensure that adequate upgrading is planned. Fire protection programs, including Appendix R requirements, were generally well performed, excepting reactor coolant pump (RCP) oil collection specifications as described in 10 CFR 50, Appendix R.
Inspectors observed that not all plug and flange locations were considered as credible leak sites. Timely resolution i
does not appear inevitable.
EPPR Recommendations Initiate conference call with licensee to discuss their plans to resolve RCP oil collection concerns in light of letter from NRR clarifying
