I. INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose and Overview
The Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) program is an
integrated NRC staff effort to periodically collect observations and. data
and evaluate licensee safety performance. SALP supplements the normal
regulatory processes used to ensure compliance with NRC rules and regu-
lations. It is intended to be diagnostic enough to provide a rational
basis for allocating NRC resources and to provide meaningful input to
licensee management on promoting quality and safety of plant operation.
The NRC SALP Board, composed of the members listed below, met on February
25, 1988 to' assess licensee petformance in accordance with the guidance
in NRC Manual Chapter 0516, "Systematic Assessment of Licensee Perform-
ance". A summary of the guidance and evaluation criteria is provided
in Section II of this report.
This SALP assesses the safety performance of the Hillstone Nuclear Power
Station, Units 1 and 2 fenm June 1, 1986 through December 31, 1987, a
19 month assessment period. The SALP is organized, except for areas
completely common to both units, into functional areas broken down into
Unit 1 and Unit 2 subsections.

II. CRITERIA
Licensee performance is assessed in selected functional areas. Each func-
tional area represents aspects significant to nuclear safety and the environ-
ment, and is a normal programmatic area. The following evaluation criteria
were used as appropriate.
1. Management involvement and control in assuring quality.
2. Approach to resolution of technical issues from a safety standpoint.
3. Responsiveness to NRC initiatives.
4. Enforcement history.
5. Reporting and analysis of reportable events.
6. Staffing (including management).
7. Training effectiveness and qualification.
Based upon the SALP Board assessment, each functional area is clasM fied into
one of three performance categories. These are:
Category 1. Reduced NRC attention may be appropriate. Licensee management
attention and involvement are aggressive and oriented toward nuclear safety;
licensee resources are ample and effectively used so that a high level of
performance with respect to operational safety is being achieved.
Category 2. NRC attention should be maintained at normal levels. Licensee
management attention and involvement are evident and concerned with nuclear
safety; licensee resources are adequate and reasonable effective such that
satisfactory operational safety performance is being achieved.
Category 3. Both NRC and licensee attention should be increased. Licensee
management attention or involvement is acceptable and considers nuclear safety,
but weaknesses are evident; licensee resources appear strained or not effec-
tively used such that minimally satisfactory performance with respect to
operational safety is being achieved.
The SALP Board also considered categorizing the performance trend. A perform-
a.;ce trend is assigned only if the SALP Board concludes that continuation of
a trend may change the performance category. Performance trend categories
l are:
Improving: Licensee performance was determined to be improving near the close
of the assessment period.
Declining: Licensee performance was determined to be declining near the close
i of the assessment period.

III. SUMMARY OF RESULTS
A. Overall Summary - Unit 1
Performance was consistently good. Safe and conservative plant operation !
was evident. Operators responded well to plant trips. A high level of
safety performance was noted in Plant Operations, Maintenance, Surveil-
lance, Emergency Preparedness, Outage Management, and Training Effective-
ness. There was a strong commitment to safety at all levels.
,
Significant improvements were noted in Radiological Controls, particu-
larly in the radwaste and transportation programs. Performance in this
area has increased from Category 3 to Category 2 since the last SALP.
Performance in Security decreased to Category 2 during the SALP period.
4
The NRC found that guards were not identifying de" eiencies in meeting j
basic objectives, and that program oversight needed improvement.
'
The Licensing Activities performance rating also has decreased from f
Category 1 to Category 2. Repetitive late submittals without, in some
cases, arranging revised submittal dates with the NRC staff were the main l
-
reascn for the lower rating. Licensing Activities were otherwise found
to be well-managed and capably performed.
I
Engineering support groups displayed good initiative in some issues and
4 were generally effective. On the other hand, weaknesses in environmental 5
i qualification, slow response to identification of short pump foundation a
bolts, and recurring main condenser tube leaks showed that significant ,
, engineering support improvements can be made. '
l
The licensee was successful in improving performance on identified prob-
'
lems. Areas given management attention showed marked improvement. As
the Security area assessment indicates, however, better self-identifica- ,
i tion of performance problems is needed to achieve high performance across-
the-board.
The prior SALP rated five areas as Category 1, three areas as Category ?
2, and one area as Category 3. This SALP rated six areas as Category .
I and five as Category 2. It is particularly commendable that the ex- I
tensive corporate and site management changes made during the past
several years have occurred without impacting overall unit safety per-
( formance, which reraains high. (

B. Background
1. Licensee Activities
On June 1, 1986, the SALP period began. Millstone 1 was operating
at full power. Normal full power operation, with short power re-
ductions for corrective maintenance (e.g. , condenser tube and steam
leaks), lasted until November 30, when the unit tripped due to a
main transformer ground. The transformer was replaced and the unit
was returned to full power af ter a 15-day outage.
Normal full power operation continued until March 22, 1987, when
the unit scrammed from 50% power due to closure of the Main Steam
Isolation Valves (MSIVs). Low reactor pressure had resulted when
reactor pressure control was shif ted from the Electric Pressure
Regulator (EPR) to the Mechanical Pressure Regulator (MPR); the re-
sultant primary containment isolation signal caused the MSIVs to
close. This trip was attributed to inadequate operator training
in shifting from the EPR to the MPR.
Full power operation was resumed until June 4, when a failing Steam
Jet Air Ejector necessitated a power drop to 40% to restore Main
Condenser vacuum. The unit was then returned to full power until
shutdown began on June 5 for a planned 70-day refueling and main-
tenance outage. In addition to the Cycle 12 reload, outage work
included replacement of the jet pump instrumentation nozzles, the
process computer, anc the motor-operators for certain safety-related
valves.
During the Cycle 12 startup on August 14, the unit tripped due to
Intermediate Range Monitor Hi-Hi flux created by operator-initiated
excessive control rod withdrawal. A subsequent startup began on
August 15. Full power was reached on August 20.
i
A reactor trip from 100% power occurred on August 26 due to person-
nel error during surveillance of the Average Power Range Monitors
(APRMs). Another trip from full power occurred September 3 due to
l low pressure in the scram pilot air header (equipment failure).
Full power was again achieved and continued until November 14, when
l the unit was taken to cold shutdown for a 64-hour outage to inves-
tigate and repair increasing unidentified drywell leakage (a valve
packing leak). The unit was returned to full power for the rest
l of the assessment period.

D. Overall Summary - Unit 2
Facility performance was good. Safe and conservative plant operation
was evident. Operators responded well to plant trips. A high levc1 of
safety performance was noted in Maintenance, Emergency Preparedness,
Outage Management, and Training Effectiveness. There was a strong com-
mitment to safety at all levels.
Significant improvements were noted in Radiological Controls, particu-
larly in the radwaste and transportation programs. Performance in this
area has increased from Category 3 to Category 2 since the last SALP.
Performance in Security decreased to Category 2 during the SALP period.
The NRC found that guards were not identifying deficiencies in meeting
basic objectives, and that program oversight needed improvement.
Surveillance performance decreased to a Category 2 rating primarily be-
cause, af ter a refueling outage, the plant was restarted without correct-
ing steam generator tube flaws needing repair. A subsequent outage was
required for corrective maintenance. Licensee management responded
positively and conservatively to this operational safety concern.
The Licensing Activities performance rating also has decreased from Cate-
gory 1 to Category 2. Repetitive late submittals without, in some cases,
arranging revised submittal dates with the NRC staff were the main reason.
Licensing Activities were otherwise found to be well-managed and capably
performed.
Engineering support groups displayed gooc initiative in some issues and
were generally effective. A need for improvement was, howevu, evident
from deficiencies in the Fire Protection Program, from weaknesses in
Environmental Qualification, and from two reactor trips related to design
deficiencies.
The licensee was successful in improving performance on identified prob-
lems. Areas given management attention showed marked improvement. As
the Security area assessment indicates, however, better self-identifica-
-
tion of performance problems is needed to achieve a high level of per-
! formance across-the-board.
The prior SALP rated seven areas as Cstegory 1, two areas as Category
l 2, and one area as Category 3. This SALP rated four areas as Category
l 1 and seven as Category 2. The lower ratings do not represent a signi-
i ficant safety degradation. Therefore, the extensive corporate and site
l management changes made during the past several years have occurred
i without significantly impacting overall unit safety performance.

E. Background
1. Licensee Activities
On June 1,1986, Millstone 2 tripped from full power. The trip was
~
due to operator error during transfer from the Reserve Station Ser-
vice Transformer (RRST) to the Normal Station Service Transfermer
(NSST). That caused the loss of a 6.9 KV bus and subsequent under-
'
speed of a reactor coolant pump.
,
'
Power operation was resumed and continued until increasing Reactor
Coolant System (RCS) leakage necessitated a power reductien for RCS
inspection within containment. On August 12, during preparations
to reduce power, the unit tripped from full power due to low steam
,
'
generator (SG) level caused by the loss of an :uxiliary oil pump
forthe-associatedsteamgeneratorfeedpump(SGFf). A.four day
, maintenance outage was then conducte.
i
Full power operation was resumed until September 3, when the unit
tripped due to low SG 1evel caused by the loss of both SGFPs due
- to the failure of the reheater drain pump discharge header flow con-
trol vaive. Full power operation resumed on September 5. Tf.e unit
entered a two-week coastdown period prior to the planned refueling
outage, which began on September 20.
On December 23, during power ascerCon testing for Cycle 8, the unit
tripped from 50*4 power when a transformer alignment problem caused
- a SGFP underspeed. The unit was returned to power. It next tripped,
j from 100*4 power, on January 2,1987 cue to low SG 1evel caused by
i the failure of a feedwater regulat^ ng valve (FRV) solenoid. The
unit was returned to full power on January 5.
I Full power opeiation continued until January 29, when there was a
- normal shutdown to correct primary to secondary leakag . The outage
i
was extended to repair other SG tube defects not prwiously cor-
i rected because o' faulty Eddy Current Testing (ECT) review. The
unit then operated at full power f tom February 16 until tripping
on April 16 due to a main generator trip from an endetermined cause.
l Normal full power operation was resumed until July 23, when the unit
tripped from 80*. power because a pressurizer spray valve malfunction

IV. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
A. Plant Operations
General and Common Aspects
This functional area includes overall piint operations, housekeeping,
fire protection, staff performance, review committee activities, event
reporting and corrective actions.
The licensee's station and offsite review committees functioned as re-
quired by the plant technical specifications, and in conformance with
the applicable procedure. The licensee regards committee membership to
be a serious commitment, as was evident by the attendance record. The
licensee's commitment to conservatism and safety was evident in committee
review of complete modification packages in addition to the saftty
evaluation reviews required by the technical specifications. The com-
mittees displayed a probing, questioning approach in resolution of safety
and technical issues.
Licensee Event Reports (LERs)
For both units, LERs were thorough and well written. They adequately
described events, equipment, failures and corrective actions. Previous
similar occurrences were referenced. Root causes were clearly identified.
Updated LERs highlighted new information. NRC review of LERs identified
no recurring problems and no inattentiveness to problem identification
,
and correction. Event safety assessments improved significantly during
l
the recent assessment period. One case (Unit 2 LER 86-10) of not updat-
ing an LER within the planned six months was identified as an exception
to normal practice. Overall, LER quality was high.
1. Plant Conm tions - Unit 1 (1019 hours0.0118 days <br />0.283 hours <br />0.00168 weeks <br />3.877295e-4 months <br />, 38*;)
The previous SALP rated this area as Category 1. Sipificant
strengths noted were response to abnormal conditions (Hurricane
l Gloria), management oversight of operations, ar.J @ rating staff
l stability and professionalism.
l
Operator alertness was routinely observed during day and back shifts.
Overall, operating shift functioning was evaluated as smooth and
professional. Control room distractions were neithe.' allowed nor
i observed. Activities were conducted carefully and with sufficient
i formality. Shift turnovers were consistently thorough and effective.
l Operators were strong proponents of control room formality and ac-
tively ensured a professional atmosphere was maintained. Operators'
l attitudes were excellent during operations and outages. Bri e f u.g s
l 'or tests and infrequent evolutions, especially during the outage
l period. were detailed and involved frequent interaction among team
.r embe r s . Frequent observance of evolutions showed that written
j
<
i
[ _
_ - -
.
11
procedures were routinely followed. Administrative support of plant
operations was effective, with logs and records found to be gener-
ally discrepancy free.
Two reactor scrams occurred as a result of operator performance
problems. One of these was a result of continuous withdrawal of
a high worth control rod during reactor startup. Inadequate proce-
dural addressal of the rod worth condition contributed to this event.
The other such scram was due to psoblems with the transfer of tur-
bine pressure control between the mechanical pressure regulator
(MPR) and the electrical pressure regulator (EPR). [Thislatter
scram is also evaluated in Section IV.J, Training Effectiveness.]
The licensee took appropriate action to clarify operating procedures
and to provide additional operator training on the EPR/MPR. Appro- t
priate corrective actions were t iro taken to instruct operators on
the caution needed when withdrawing control rods in high worth re-
gions on new cores. Operator responses involving scrams were
otherwise good.
Management attention to operations and active involvement in over-
sight was evident in frequent plant superintendent control room and
plant tours. Routine NRC inspection also consistently noted strong
management involvement in response to plant trips and other problems.
Monthly detailed plant material and housekeeping walkdowns generated
departmental actfon lists which were actively discussed at Plant
Operations Review Committee meetings. '.isted items were corrected.
Management commitment to operator training was demonstrated by a
successful performance record in operator licensing. As noted in
Section IV.J. Training Effectiveness,16 of 18 operator license
candidates passed the NRC examinations and received licenses.
There was good communications between operations, upper management,
and other plant groups. The licensee demonstrated a strong safety
orientation in problem resolution and a conservative approach to
plant operations. Professionalism was evident at all levels.
Performance of the Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) was a
major strength. PORC members routinely exhibited probing and ques-
tioning attitudes. Extensive discussions were ased to focut atten-
tion .a the safety implications of design changes and evolutions.
Active interplay among members contributed to a team approach to
making informed and correct decisions. Special presentations were j
highly effective in ensuring f: M understanding of technical issues.
PORC routinely exhibited a conservative and safety-oriented approar.h
to plant operation. Excellent PCRC performance was especiA ly
cvident during the outage.

.
, Overall, operating procedures were good. No major procedure inade-
quacies were found. Personnel routinely followed procedures and '
properly identified and proposed appropriate changes. The periodic
procedure review program ensursd that improvements, clarifications
and simplifications were implemented. This period saw a marked
emphasis on implementation of "human factors" type procedure im-
provements.
A fire protection team assessed compliance with 10 CFR 50 Aspendix
R requirements with respect to the ability to safely shut down in
the event of a fire. Aggressive attention by corporate and site
management to fire protection issues was evident, with priority
given to problems requiring hardware fixes.
Several plant modificaticns were completed to comply with Appendix
R Sec tion III.G separation requirements. The fire hazard analysis
was thorough, detailed and technically adequate. The licensee had
redundant means of achieving safe shutdown in the event of a fire.
Also, the licensee had developed adequate procedures, including
detailed repair procedures, and demonstrated that the procedures
would work. Good planning and training were evident with respect
to the procedures. The NRC concluded that the licensee's fire pro-
tection program was good. Major contributing factors were the rap-
port maintained by the fire protection staff and management and the
increased awareness of plant personnel to fire protection concerns.
Inspection of radiological housekeeping identified defielent control
of issued respirators, of used protective clothing, and of con-
taminated material bags. Later observation found much improvement.
Overall, the NRC concluded that the licensee maintained plant ccm-
ponents in good condition and that housekaeping was satisfactory.
The three violations for this area involved a failure to update
technical specification surveillance requirements and snuhber tables,
and a failure to make a 10 CFR 50.72 report of multiple ADS valve
l failures. Another violation, not cited because it lacked safety
i significance, was for f ailure to update the technical specificatior.s
following modifications made in 1987 to change the low pressure ECCS
actuation logic. The failure to make the report was still under
NRC and licensee review at the end of the SALP period.
Several occurrences during the assessment period, as demonstrated
by the events involving reactor scrams (LERs 87-07 and 87-34) snd
standby gas treatment system initiations (LER 87-05), suggested a
j
need to assure greater attention to detail in plant operations and
to ensure lessons are learned from past deficiencies.

Overall, the licensee demonstrated continued excellent performance
in plant operations, with strong management involvement and over-
sight, good performance in operator licensing, clear management
support for training, and a successful Appendix R effort. Plant
housekeeping, operator professionalism, and safety perspective in
problem resolution remained notable strengths. However, the events
indicating a need for improved attention to detail and a better
lessons learned function also indicate that attention is warranted
to assure decreased performance does act cccur

, 2. Plant Operations - Unit 2 (1065 hours0.0123 days <br />0.296 hours <br />0.00176 weeks <br />4.052325e-4 months <br />, 40%)
The previous SALP rated this area as Category 1. Strengths included
plant management interfaces with operating personnel and operator
professionalism.
Operator alertness was routinely observed during day and backshift
inspections. Operating shifts presented an efficient and profes-
sional attitude in the control room. The unit had a dress code,
instituted to reflect this attitude. Easiness was conducted in a
manner that clearly showed that the control room is not a gathering
place. The operations department effectively limited personnel in
the control room.
Nine unplanned trips from power occurred; the overall trip rate was
about six per year. Operator response to all trips was satisfactory.
One of the trips resulted from operator error during breaker switch-
ing. Appropriate operator retraining was conducted.
' '
Overall, operating procedures were good. No major procedure inade-
quacies were found. Operators followed procedures and proposed
appropriate changes when discrepancies were identified. Good
operator knowledge of and regard for procedural requirements and *
administrative controls was evident. Periodic procedure reviews ;
effectively ensured that improvements were imp'.emented.
, Plant management was observed to be in the plant frequently, and ,
! to be discussing activities with the operating staff. Thorough
'
knowledge of plant conditions was routinely exnibited by plant man-
agement during daily management meetings and during discussions with
NRC inspectors. Routine inspectior, consistently showed plant man-
agement attention to operations and effective daily involvement to
coordinate operating activities and resolve problems. Also, site
! and corporate management attention to operations and active over-
- sight of operating activities was evident in plant visits and plant
tours, i
,
There was good communications between operations, management, and
i other plant groups. Management involvement following plant trips
l and events was evident during meetings and discussions with the
inspectors. A strong safety approach was taken in the resolution
of problems. There was a generally conservative approach to plant
operations. Professionalism was generally evident at all levels. .
i
l
Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC) members exhibited a probing,
questioning approach to technical issues, and discussions focused
i
on the safety implications of events, design changes, and evolutions.
Good interactive discussions were consistently observed and special

presentations were effectively used to fully evaluate technical is-
sues. Excellent PORC performance wcs evident during outages and
after events or transients. The POEC function was highly effective.
In April 1987, a pilot program for operating shift rotation was put
into effect. The pregram reduces the shift changes over a twelve
week cycle, provides additional oays off around weekends, and pro-
vides longer continuous periods of off time. Because it also pro-
vides 12-nour shifts on two consecutive days, specific back shift
inspections were made to observe plant operators on 12-hour shifts.
No problems were observed. This program appears to be accepted by
operators and management as a markedly improved shift rotation.
Appendix R inspection found fire protection actions generally ac-
ceptable. There were two violations, one for a missing fire damper
and the second for insufficient separation between the auxiliary
feedwater heaters and their isolation valves. Also, fire coating
material was found unacceptable (LER 87-10), additional compensatory
measures were taken. The licensee has an adequate fire protection
staff, but no one person has been made responsible for overseeing
fire protection. (See Section IV.I, Engineering Support, for as-
sessment of the fire protection program.)
Fourteen of 17 operator license candidates passed the NRC examina-
tion and received licenses. With regard to training in Appeadix
R modifications, however, some operators had difficulty in perform-
ing tasks such as locating some safe shutdown equipment and removing
some breakers. (See Section IV.J. Training Effectiveness, for
evaluation of training aspects.)
The control rocm and control board interiors were generally clean.
In the plant, however, the licensee did not remove boron encrusta-
!
tion af ter leak repairs. That did not contribute to the otherwise
good work practices, but the pipe and valve leakage control program
now addresses this. Overall, housekeeping was evaluated as fair.
Extended inoperability of the ventilation coolers for the vital DC
. switchgea; rooms was identified. The licensee compensated for the
inoperable equipment by prescribing additional operator actions in
plant procedures, but these procedures lost detail over various
revisions. Licensee actions on this item were not indicative of
the generally conservative approach taken to equipment opr"ability.
There was little safety significanct because operator actions would
have provided adequate cooling of the rooms. Nonetheless, opera-
tional and plant management review of plant condi' ions should have
proTpted =arlier resolution of cooler inoperabilis,
'
In summary, the licensee demonstrated continued good performance
in nitnt operations, with strong management involvement and over-
signt, good parformance in operator licensing, and a generally suc-
.-

cessful Appendix R effort. Operator competence was evident, and
their professionalism ard safety perspective in problem resolution
remained notable strengths. Plant housekeeping was acceptable but
can be improved.

B. P.adiological Controls - Unit 1 (297 hours0.00344 days <br />0.0825 hours <br />4.910714e-4 weeks <br />1.130085e-4 months <br />, 11')
- Unit 2 (265 hours0.00307 days <br />0.0736 hours <br />4.381614e-4 weeks <br />1.008325e-4 months <br />, 10*4)
The licensee's Radiological Controls Program was rated Category 3 during
the previous assessment period. Significant weaknesses in the radwaste/
transportation areas resulted in multiple NRC violations. These re-
flected a lack of management involvement, inadequate QA, and ineffective
corrective action. Deficiencies were also noted in control of high
radiation areas, the ALARA program, and implementation of in-the-field
changes to Radiation Work Permits (RWPs).
A total of twelve inspections in the Radiologicci Controls area were
conducted during the current period. Two violations were identified,
both in the radiological safety area.
Radiological Safety
The licensee's radiological safety organizational structure was clearly
defined and adequately staffed. Effective procedures and policies were
in place. Adequate staffing upgrades were made to support outage acti-
vities. The resume review and qualification process for contractor
,
technicians was effective and well-documented.
Training of radiation workers and contractor technicians was performed
effectively. Deficiencies were noted, however, with the level of super-
vision of temporary personnel performing station health physics support
activities (whole body counting, respirator issue, etc..). As i result,
minor problems were noted with whole body counting control charts, source
check records and temporary personnel training and qualification records.
Audits of the Radiation Safety Program were performed by the corporate
staff. Review indicated that, although procedural requirements were met,
l audits were compliance-oriented rather than performance-oriented, in that
I
procedure adherence was audited but not procedure and program adequacy.
l Concerns were also identified with the independence of auditors, speci-
,
fically in the dosimetry area. Both the auditors and the dosimetry group
j reported to the same supervisor. The licensee committed to change this.
Posting and control of high radiation areas (HRAs) continued to be a Unit
I weakness during the current period. An uniocked HRA door was identi-
l fied by the NRC during the Unit 1 outage; additionally, several temporary
j HRAs were noted to be inadequately posted.
l Weaknesses in radiological area posting and radioactive material labeling
'
were also noted during the Unit 1 outage. There was a violation for
failure to label radioactive material. These concerns suggest an in-
appropriate level of control and supervision over radiological field
activities during the Unit 1 out% e. Posting and labeling practices at
,
Unit 1 during routine operations and at Unit 2 were noted to be effective.
j Subsequent to the identification of the above concerns, the licensee in-

stituted a policy requiring more frequent surveillance of controlled
areas. A significant increase in upper-level station management atten-
tion and involvement in the implementation of the radiological safety
program was also noted in the last third of this period.
Several higt-exposure work activities were ef fectively controlled by the
licensee during the current period. Appropriate pre-work surveys were
'
taken and Radiation Work Permits (RWPs) prescribed effective work con-
trols. Survey information was available and was communicated to radi-
ation workers. Engineering controls were effective in minimizing air-
borne radioactivity. Support services, including respiratory protection
and dosimetry, continued to adequately support the program. Several
minor examples of failure to follow the RWP procedure were noted during
the Unit 1 outage, and resulted in a violation. These examples indicated
a lack of HP technician and supervisor attention to detail and to effec-
tive control of the RWP system during the Unit 1 outage. No difficulties
were observed with Unit 1 RWPs during routine operations. Unit 2 imple-
mentation of the RWP system was effective.
While improvements were noted in the ALARA program during the current
period, continuing effort in this area is needed. Deficiencies in the
ALARA goal-setting methodology were noted at the beginning of the period;
ALARA goals were being developed exclusively by the corporate group an'i
often did not reflect +.he specific scope of work planned. It was noted
during the Unit 2 outage that widely discrepant site and corporate de-
rived goals were in place for the same activities. Goals are now being
proposed by the corporate group, based partly on input from the site;
the site then reviews and Odjusts as necessary.
A significant scope of work was undertaken during the period, including
refueling at both units, jet pump nozzle work and torus decontamination
at Unit 1, and steam generator repair and fuel pool re-racking at Unit
2. Adequate pre-job planning was typically in place. It was noted,
however, that poor feedback from some station work groups resulted in
delays in ALARA planning during the 1986 Unit 2 outage. Daily outage
exposure tracking was performed ef fectively and represented an improve-
ment over the previous period. Exposure reduction techniques typically
utilized included steam generator channel head decontamination, mock-up
training, temporary shielding, and effective contamination control.
Addit;onal licensee initiatives in the ALARA area included the institu-
tion of a station ccbalt reduction plan and adoption of a zinc passiva-
tion process at Unit I to reduce overall dose rates.
Unit 1 exposure during the current period reflects a significant in-
provement over previous periods. In 1986, a non-refueling outage year,
exposure totaled 162 person-rem. In 1987, Unit 1 exposure totaled 710
person-rem, most of which was attributable (approximately 613 person-rem)
to the refueling outage.

Unit 2 exposure continued to be high during outage years and totaled 962
person-rem in 1986. The majority of this exposure (879 person-rem) re-
suited from the outtge. A significant scope of work generated much of
this expos.re; however, several equipment and performance problems con-
tributed to overall exposure. These included significant difficulties
with steam generator (S/G) nozzle dam installation, relative ineffec-
tiveness of the S/G channel head decontamination, and remote equipment
limitations during tube plugging. These problems contributed to the
steam generator inspection and maintenance exposure exceeding the ALARA
estimate by approxinately 120 person-rem. The NRC staff noted improved
performance in the installation of steam generator nozzle dams during
the 1988 outage (after the SALP period). This was directly related to
careful preoperational testing of the dams and detailed training of the
workers involved. These program improvements, along with the use of
remote manipulation equipment for tube pulling and nondestructive testing
inside the steam generator primary channel heads, contributed signifi-
cantly to lowering outage exposures. Licensee efforts in this area
should continue to be directed towards increasing the effectiveness of
pre-work planning and reducina the incidence of equipment malfunction
and rework.
Unit 2 exposure for 1937, primarily an operational year, exhibited im-
provement over previous operational years and totaled approximately 154
person-rem.
Chemistry
A clear corporate commitment to and support for an effective water
'
chemistry control program was evident in review of the Unit 1 program.
The organization was clearly defined, suitably staffed with qualified
personnel, ind functioned smoothly in its interfaces with other plant
groups. The licensee was responsive to NRC suggestions for improved
valve maintenance debris control and actions when contaminant levels ex-
ceed administrative limits. The ongoing cobalt reduction program showed
a proactive management approach to corrosion product source term reduc-
!
tion. In-line instrumentation and sampling was adequate for corrosion
and impurity ingress monitoring. Overall, the chemistry program effec-
l tively supported plant operations.
.
Chemical measurement capability was evaluated against technical specifi-
- cation and other regulatory requirements. The licensee was adequately
l staffed and had state-of-the-art equipment for nonradiological chemistry,
l
Weaknesses in laboratory calibration techniques indicated minor inatten-
tion to detail, however.
The gaseous and liquid effluent control programs were inspected during
thi s assessment period. The Chemistry group was responsible for program
implementation. Clear corporate support for effective implemertation
l was evident. Management controls were evident in the procedures for
controlling discharges as well as for scheduling surveillances. Effluent

control instruments were maintained and calibrated in accordance with
regulatory requirements. Air cleaning systems were also inspected during
this a>sessment. All release records were completed and well maintained.
Improcements had recently been made to vendor laboratory QA controls in-
cluding the assignment of one chemistry staff member to review and im-
piement in this area. Management audits of the program were generally
comprehensive and technically sound.
During this assessment period one independent measurement inspection was
performed using the NRC:I Mobile Laboratory. All split sample results
were in agreement between the licensee and the NRC.
During this assessment period, the licensee's whole body counting facil-
ity was examined. One deficiency in the whole body counting QC program
indicated a lack of attention to detail in this area. The licensee
stated that this area would be reviewed and timely corrective action
taken. The licenste's corrective action was not reviewed during this
assessment period.
Transportation
4
Two transportation inspections were conducted during this assessment
l period. Following incidents which resulted in several violations and
weaknesses in the last assessment period, the licensee restructured the
organization responsible for packaging and shipping radioactive materials.
The responsibilities and authorities of the Radioactive Material Handling
(RMH) Department were defined adequately. Job-related procedures and
QA audit procedures have been revised and improved. The frequency and
scope of CA audit activities has also improved. The Radwaste Review
Committee has been reactivated. Documentation of shipments has been
improved, and all paperwork for a given shipment is now kept to; ether
as required.
! Following violations pertainir g to radwaste transportation training our-
ing the last assessment period, licensee modules were ccmpletely rewrit-
ten. All staff received required training except for an individual who
could not complete the course due to health problems. The training and
I
Qualification contributed a positive direction to the effectiveness of
RMH group's function. Close management attention to nianning and imple-
! menting the program was noted, with strong peer reviu of the technical
j aspects of preparation, packaging and shipping activities.
Summary
! Licensee performance during the current period reflects substantial im-
provement in the radwaste and transportation areas. The in plant radio-
l logical safety program was generally effective; however, a deficiency
in the level of control and supervision of field activities was identi-

fied and led to weaknesses, primarily in Unit 1 outage performance. Im-
provements in ALARA were achieved; continuing licensee attention should
be directed in this area.

C. Maintenance
The licensee's maintenance program provided effective planning, control-
ling and trending of maintenance activities through the licensee's Pro-
duction Maintenance Management System (PMMS). The system has b'en a good
planning tool that helped to assure proper coordination of mair. nance
activities. The tracking function of the program ensured that mainten-
ance activities were properly closed out.
1. Maintenance - Unit 1 (174 hours0.00201 days <br />0.0483 hours <br />2.876984e-4 weeks <br />6.6207e-5 months <br />, 7%)
The previous SALP rated Maintenance as Category 2, Consistent. An
area identifieJ as requiring increased emphasis and management at-
tention was addressal of aging components. Examples identified in-
cluded the scram solenoid pilot valves, the eeergency gas turbine
generator (EGTG), and the main turbine mechanical pressure regulator
(MPR). There has been improved performance of the scram pilot
valves. The EGTG maintenance program was improved, and the EGTG
exhibited much improved reliability. Also, extensive maintenance
on the MPR improved its performance and reliability.
During this SALP period, maintenance was routinely reviewed by
resident inspectors and occasionally by region-based inspectors.
One scram (9/3/87: low scram air header pressure) was attributed
to maintenance. Safety system readiness and reliability, and In-
Service Testing (IST) performance evidenced the effects of good
preventive and corrective maintenance. Consistently satisfactory
"as found" surveillance results also indicated successful mainten-
ance.
Management attention in this area was evident at Unit 1 by an on-
line updating of maintenance activities on a per-shift basis. Also,
the maintenance department used data trending technt.;ues in review-
ing and analyzing the preventive and corrective maintenance records.
This was a positive step toward improving effectiveness of mainten-
ance activities.
Corrective maintenance was generally perft rmed in strict accordance
with policies, procedures and work orders Troubleshooting and sig-
nificant supervisory involvement led to E: curate problem assessment
and formulation of croper corrective actions. Werk was thnrough
and technically sufficient. Rework was seldom required. A compre-
hensive trending program was established and well implenanted. Only
one maintenance inadequacy was observed: the "as-found" containment
integrated leak rate test (CILRT) failed on August 6, 1987 due to
leakage through isolation condenser steam vent valves. The rect
causes were poor post-maintenance valve stroke adjustment and an
inadequate post-maintenance test. Foliewing valve overhaul, main-
tenance personnel had failec in set valve stroke sufficient to en-

sure positive seating. Licensee planning to implement a training
program to cover proper post-maintenance valve adjustment was ap-
propriate to correct the deficiency.
The maintenance department was staffed with well trained, competent
and dedicated mechanics, electricians and machinists. Additional
maintenance assistance was available from the other Northeast
Utilities plants on an "as needed" basis. Observations and discus-
sions showed maintenance supervisors and managers to be knowledge-
able, as well as active in quality assurance activities. Highly
effective planning minimized outage and operational scheduling im-
pacts. The strength and flexibility of the organization was par-
ticularly evident in excellent outage performance. Also, coordina-
tion with other departments was excellent.
Licensee performance of maintenance during the 1937 outage was
particularly noteworthy. A very significant outage work 1 cad was
completed. The maintenance activities were well planned and exe-
cuted. Licensee attention to plant cleanliness during the outage
and during routine power operation was very good.
Licensee perfoe.:ance in the maintenance area has significantly im-
proved over the assessment period.

2. Maintenance - Unit 2 (131 hours0.00152 days <br />0.0364 hours <br />2.166005e-4 weeks <br />4.98455e-5 months <br />, 7?e)
The previous SALP rated the maintenance area as Category 1.
Strengths included machinery history, modification testing, pre-
ventive maintenance, procedural compliance, safety, work practices
and documentation.
During this SALP period the licensee's performance on major job
tasks displayed excellent knowledge of systems and the details of
modifications. These activities included the installation of a new
containment pedestal crane to support faster crane evolutions in
high radiation areas, a pilot fuel consolidation project, replace-
ment of Turbine Building Closed Cooling Water heat exchangers, and
renewal of containment isolation valve seats. In addition, support
to Steam Generator Non-Destructive Examination (NDE) inspections
and the replacement of the main condenser added unusually heavy
wt.a.. loads for maintenance supervision. The jobs were nonetheless
well managed.
Maintenance management kept the work backlog at minimum levels.
In addition, use of thermcgraphy surveys of electrical equipment
,
d9tected a loose connection on a Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) pene-
tration, and corrective action was taken prior to cable failure or
malfunction. Detailed involvement of quality control persnnnel,
supporting engineering groups, purchasing, material, and construc-
tion groups was evident. Examples of thorough QC overview were
noted in fuel reconstitution and fuei consolidation, activities
which were supported by the maintenance department.
'
Upper management support of maintenance was demonstrated in the
! construction of new Un t 2 maintenance facilities. The I&C shop
was expanded. In acaition, a new snubber repair and test facility
was added.
'
Eetter performance by the Production Test Department appears to be
needed. This group was responsible for three events, including two
reactor trips. One was a 7oss of normal power (LNP) while shut down
,
(LER 86-20); one was a LNP/ reactor trip from 50*4 power (LER 86-22).
j These were both caused by improper closure of a 4 KV bus potential
l transformer drawer, resulting in misaligned stabs. One trip was
'
caused by inadequate review of the effects of a design change to
!
a fire protection system module on the main boards-(LER 87-02).
Two trips during the period were attributed to feedwater regulating
valve failures. Two other trips occurred due to equipment problems,
'
, one involving the pressurizer spray valve and a second involving
!
an apparently spurious opening of tha main generator field breaker.
'
These foui equipment problems w:re net correlated to maintenance
deficiencis.

25
The maintenance program was staffed by dedicated, thoroughly trained,
knowledgeable engineers, mechanics and technicians. Corporate man-
agement commitment to training was shown by the purchase of RCP
seals and a diesel for training purposes,
t
A positive approach was demonstrated by implementing a preventive
maintenance program to systematically maintain containment isolation
valves such that containment leak rate is minimized. One of the
associated actions was replacement of the T-ring seats for Fisher
valves. Also, for two globe valves in the containment sump, the
licensee proposed installation of screens to prevent debris accumu-
lation which previously contributed to valve degradation and leakage.
Unlike Unit 1, the Unit 2 Maintenance Department has not implemented
a comprehensive trending program. Unit 2 trending was done on a
selected component basis,
d
One issue identified at the end of the SALP period and still under
NRC review involved inadequately maintained seals on ventilation
system joints and access doors. The worn seals provided an unin-
tended control room air inleakage path, and airborne ncble gas ac- r
tivity from the auxiliary building ente *. d the control room. Lic-
ensee short term actions to correct the worn seals were appropriate.
In summary, good licensee performance in this area was demonstrated
, by good management and control of maintenance by a qualified staff.
Initiatives to address recurring charging system maintenance prob-
lems were noted as was the management commitment to (vrovement of
the maintenance facilities. Improvements can be realized by imple-
menting a more comprehensive trending pregiam, by improving Produc-
tion Test Department performance, and by reducing the number of
plant trips due to equipment problems, Although no significant
performance change was noted late in the performance period, and
although the equipment problems encountered may require engineerir;
i
'
support resolutions, licensee attention may be needed to assure that
maintenance performance does not decrease during the next SALP
period.

D. Surveillance
The licensee's calibration and surveillance program has been well defined
and administratively controlled. The program was well managed and effec-
tively implemented. Surveillances and calibrations were controlled and
scheduled via automated work orders, and complex surveillances were iden-
tified as such. Records were well maintained and complete. Completed
surveillances were routinely farwarded to records storage on a monthly
or quarterly basis. Surveillance and calibration procedures were found
to be technically adequate.
Test personnel were adequately trained and well versed in procedural and
regulatory requirements. Supervision was involved in the conduct and
review of completed test results. Measuring and test equipments (M&TE)
used for surveillances and calibrations were found to be calibrated, and
well controlled wnen not in use. M&TE was routinely returned to storage
after each shift or upon completion of the activity.
Each department onsite was responsible for maintaining a status list of
surveillances they are responsible for per administrative procedure.
These lists were up-to-date and well maintained. Management also effec-
tively used QA/QC to monitor surveillance program implementation. An
example was QC surveillance of I&C Department control of M&TE, requested
as a result of a transfer in responsibility for the control of M&TE.
As expected, several problems were noted. These were quickly resolved
and corrected.
The program for calibration of installed instrumentation was accurate,
clearly described and well managed. Both the computerized scheduling
at Unit I and the schedule sheets used at Unit 2 controlled the assign-
ment and completion of tasks. The I&C staff and supervision had a clear
understanding of the administrative control system.
l Technicians performing calibrations knew their duties and the procedures
! being used. Execution of work steps was done conscientiously and in a
confident manner. A notable human factors improvement in the conduct
of in plant calibration of instrumentation was the use of a personal
computer at Unit 2 to display work steps, guide the technicians, deter-
mine acceptability of results, automatically initiate corrective action
documents when appropriate, prompt and require workers to follow proce-
dural steps, and retain results for record purposes.
,
, Management involvement and support was evident and reflected in the qual-
1 ity of the established program, the manner in which it was implemented
and being improved, and the effort to enhance QA overview effectiveness.

1. Surveillance - Unit 1 (438 hours0.00507 days <br />0.122 hours <br />7.242063e-4 weeks <br />1.66659e-4 months <br />, 16%)
The surveillance program at Millstone 1, including In-Service In-
spection and Testing, received resident and region-based inspection.
During the preceding SALP assesst.ent period, a rating of Category
1 was assigned.
A large number nf surveillance tests were observed by the NRC with
little or no warning. The depth of knowledge and the pride in
workmanship displayed by individual technicians was noteworthy.
An active licensee review and upgrade program existed, and the
quality of procedures used in surveillance tasting was generally
good. However, as evidenced by occasional inspector-identified
procedural deficiencies (especially in long standing, frequently
used procedures; e.g. , weekly station battery checks), the upgrading
system was not fully effective.
The Unit 1 Containment Integrated Leak Rate Test (CILRT) was well
planned and o ganized, as evidenced by the availability of call-
brated instruments and sensors, approved test procedures, and
trained personnel. QA coverege of the test tiso was well planned
and implemented. Leak inspections were well organized and properly
coordinated by the test director. Test documentation was adequate
and plant evolutions during the test were well documented as evi-
denced in the official test log book and control room shif t super-
visor's log bcok. Even though the "as found" CILRT failed due to
leaks through Isolation Condenser valves, the test was well con-
trolled and executed. The good overall test performance reflected
the licensea's emphasis on detailed planning of surveillances.
The program for calibrating technical specification-related instru-
mentation included identification of instruments needed to satisfy
the technical specifications, and verification that these were
calibrated and in the calibration program. Data sheets had been
developed and maintained for such instrumentatien. The program for
control and calibration of portable measurement and test equipment
l was adequate to provide for calibration frequency, accuracy and
l history of use of the equipment Administrative controls over this
equipment were effective.
l While the overall surveillance program was good, follow-up on iden-
tified concerns needed more emphasis. This was evide;.t by the delay
in the resolution of short hold down bolt concern in the Low Pres-
sure Coolant Inhction (LPCI) and Core Spray systems. (This is
evaluated in the Engineering Support Area,Section IV.I).
l
l The use of technically qualified (NDE Level III) personnel to sur-
l Veil ISI vendor activities was a positive way of assuring that these
l activities were performed in accordance with requirerents. Manage-
l ment involvement in plant activities was evidenced by the consist-

ency with which the licensee informed the NRC, prior to performing
examinations, of how NRC requirements regarding the detection of
intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) would be met. Pre-
outage meetings were held to discuss compliance with applicable
requirements. Effective licensee control of contractors was demon-
strated by the licensee training given to In-Service inspection
(ISI) vendor personnel, who were further required to demonstrate
their ability to detect IGSCC prior to performing work.
Surveillance activities contributed to operational events during
the 1987 outage and upon startup. The events included: (1) an RPS
actuation while shut down, due to failure of I&C technicians to ade-
quately verify initial conditions during Main Steam Isolation Valve
(MSIV) functional testing (LER 87-28); (ii) an actuation of LPCI
with discharge to the reactor vesse! due to inattention to detail
and f ailure to provice required inaependent verification during
surveillance (LER 87-33); and, (iii) an Engineered Safety Feature
actuation as a result of inadequate control of surveillance testing
(LER 87-36).
The one violation for this area (IR 87-21) involved what appeared
to be a declining personnel performance trend. Licensee corrective
actions appeared effective, in that no further problems have oc-
curred.
Four licensee event reports involved missed or past due surveil-
lances (LERs 87-04, 35, 37, and 39) and a fifth addressed a defi-
cient test method used for the standby gas treatment system (SGTS)
flow distribution (LER 87-44). The appropriate corrective action
for the SGTS test method requires further licensee and NRC review,
but it appears that the test method used was adequate. In regard
to the missed surveillances, four in 19 months was not considered
significant in view of the total number scheduled and completed
satisfactorily. However, attention may be warranted to assure a
declining trend does not develop. '
The licensee had established procedures to implement Technical
Specification related Surveillances and the ISI program. Planning,
scheduling and conduct of the surveillances and ISIS were found to
be adequate and met Technical Specification requirements. The in-
dividuals performing these activities were adequately trained and
indoctrinated. Surveillance and ISI documentation.was properly
reviewed, approved and controlled. I&C was reviewing I&C procedures
to incorporate current and accurate information and references.
l The licensee also established off-normal procedure ONP-5148 to en-
- hance their winterization program. In additicn, the plant opera-
tions staffs periodically made rounds and verified that safety-sig-
nificant equipment, systems, and process lines were adequately pro-
tected against cold weather.

Staffing and staff training were evaluated as sufficient and ef fec-
tive.
In summary, the calibration and surveillance program for safety-
related equipment was well established, and implemented by qualified
personnel. Involved supervision provided program oversight and used
the QA/QC function effectively. Performance of surveillance per-
sonnel was generally good. Performance of the Containment Inte-
grated Leak Rate Test and the Inservice Inspection Program was not-
able. The three operational events related to surveillance activi-
ties were not assessed by the board as indication of a declining
trend. However, attention is warranted to assure decreased per-
formance does not result from missed surveillances or from surveil-
lance-related plant events.

2. Surveillance - Unit 2 (397 hours0.00459 days <br />0.11 hours <br />6.564153e-4 weeks <br />1.510585e-4 months <br />, 15'4)
During the preceding SALP assessment period, this area was rated
Category 1. The surveillance test program was considered a notable
strength.
Surveillance activities inspected during this assessment period in-
<
cluded: surveillance testing and calibration control; in-service
inspection; seismic instrumentation; and steam generator work.
'
1
Performance of local leak rate testing (LLRT) and the supervision
exercised over it were very good. LLRT technicians were competent
and familiar with their assignments. Technicians were supervised
by an operations engineer to assure procedural adherence and engi-
neering oversight. The planning and test results evaluation was
the responsibility of another engineer, who also provided overall L
program oversight. Good planning and effective administrative con-
trol of LLRT reflected the licensee's commitment to enhance the
surveillance program.
] A comprehensive steam generator (SG) tube ma!ntenance program was
'
implemented, including monitoring and control of secondary-water
chemistry, inspection of condenser tubes, and performing material
accountability to avoid leaving foreign objects in the SGs. The
inspection sample size established by the licensee exceeds that
required by technical specifications. These licensee activities ;
represented good initiatives, ;nd indicated a strong and aggressive
management involvement in activities affecting safety and quality.
Procedures and planning for steam generator surveillance were good.
The eddy current test (ECT) prncedures were suf ficiently detailed
and emphasized precautions nt.;ssary for satisfactory performance
of the measurement. Testing personnel were required to demonstrate ;
their ability to complete their assignment in a safe and timely '
- manner during on-site training before the actual work, in order to
minimize radiation exposure and potential contamination.
After returnirg to power operation after to the 1986 outage, the
licensee identified a leak, within acceptable limits, in steam
generator SG-1, and initiateo a plant shutdown. Hydrostatic test
determined that a hot-leg tube was leaking. Re-review of ECT data
showed a 3P4 threugh wall indication at the leakage location. The
i re-review of outage ECT data also disclosed that a defective cold-
- leg tube had not been plugged in SG-1. Thorough re-analysis of the
ECT data identified 36 additional tubes (29 in SG-1, 7 in SG-2) with
defects, some in excess of technical specification limits, which
the licensee decided to plug. The testing deficiencies exhibited
'
'
ineffective QA/QC review of the earlier eddy current data reduction
and ev.iluation. The licensee generally maintained good control over

contractor activities, but this failure to identify tubes needing
plugging prior to returning to operation was in part the risult of
failure to adequately monitor a contractor.
The licensee took the conservative action of plugging the tubes sur-
rounding the leaking tube to safeguard against the leaking tube
causing other tubes to fail if it severed. The licensee thoroughly
assessed the cause of the failure to identify the pluggable steam
generator tubes and implemented appropriate corrective actions.
Additionally, after the present SALP period, surveillance during
the 1938 outage identified 3 defective steam generator tubes that
'
were to have been plugged during the 1936 outage. They were not
plugged due to an error in indexing the inspection equipment. This
was a second example of the need to better control contractor acti-
vities.
In addition to normal in-service inspection, the licensee initiated
an aggressive program to assess wall thinning due to erosion /corro-
sion in secondary system high-energy piping. The licensee has
voluntarily funded a three year research project at the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology to develop methodologies for such
inspection and analyses. This is a good initiative and results of
the research may benefit plant operations and the industry as a
whole.
The licensee has established both preventive maintenance (PM) and
corrective maintenance (CM) procedures. NRC review of surveillance
testing found that the PMMS system was t. racking TS requirements and
that testing was being performed on t.me. Surveillance procedures
were well written and had the necessary controls to assure that test
data and system work were controlled and monitored by supervision.
Maintenance and I&C swervisors were considered knowledgeable and
well informed in the surveillance area. Also, the I&C staff ap-
peared to be well trained and to have sufficient personnel to per-
,
form their task.
I
i The quality control organization was notified of safety-related work
l being performed and inspet,ted on a sampling basis.
In summary, the calibration and surveillance program for safety-
related equipment was well established and implemented by qualified
- personnel. Involved supervision provided program oversight and used
l the QA/QC function to monitor program implementation. Performance
l of local leak rate testine, was notable, and the steam generator tube
I inspection and maintenance program was generally very good. However,
i
'
there was need to bprove contractor control and assure quality
in the correct interpretation of steam generator tube eddy current
data. The importance of this aspect is such that it was a major
- element of performance in the surveillance area.

E. _ Emergency Preparedness - Unit _1 (138 hours0.0016 days <br />0.0383 hours <br />2.281746e-4 weeks <br />5.2509e-5 months <br />, 5%)
- Un1t 2 (148 hours0.00171 days <br />0.0411 hours <br />2.44709e-4 weeks <br />5.6314e-5 months <br />, 6%)
During the previous assessment period, licensee performance in this area
was rated as Category 1.
Emergency preparedness is a site function with common Emergency Plans,
facilities and personnel. This assessment covers the June 1, 1986
through December 31, 1987 period. It represents an evaluation of all
three Units, but does not repeat applicable parts of the three unit
assessment in the Millstone 3 SALP for the period ending February 28,
1937. During tiie current assessment period, a partial participation
exercise was observed, one routine safety inspection was conducted, and
changes to emergency plans and procedures were reviewed.
The routine safety inspe: tion was performed in June / July, 1987. This
inspection examined all major 'eas of the licensee's emergency prepared-
ness program. Weaknesses were .,9ntified in the independent audit pro-
gram, specifically related to audit checklist preparation, auditor quali-
fications, and content of audits. Additionally, the NRC had difficulty
determining which organization, corpcrate staf f or on-site staf f, had
overall responsibility for evaluation of and corrective action on audit
findings. The licensee resolved program responsibilities before the end
of the inspection. The licensee had undertaken corrective action on
previously identified weaknesset, as well as actions to strengthen the
overall program. Included in these actions was a complete Emargency
Action Level review incorporating, as appropriate, plant specific para-
meters, human factors reviews, and training.
A partial participation exercise was conducted on October 8, 1987. The
licensee demonstrated a good emergency response capability. This per-
formance was improved over the previous annual exercise. Actions by
plant operators were prompt and effective. Event classification was
'
accurate and timely. Personnel were generally well trained and qualified
for their positions. No significant exercise weaknesses were identified.
The licensee's training program has been effective as demonstrated by
their performance in the annual emergency exercise. Management involve-
ment has been generally effective as evidenced by the timely completion
of correction actions, as well as a willingness to upgrade program cap-
abilities. However, the interface between the Corporate Staff, on-site
emergency preparedness staff, and on-site management could more be
clearly defined, particularly in regards to audit program responsibili-
ties, Northeast Utilities continues to maintain a very good relationship
with all off-site agencies.

F. Security and Safeguards - Unit 1 (77 hours8.912037e-4 days <br />0.0214 hours <br />1.273148e-4 weeks <br />2.92985e-5 months <br />, 3%)
- Unit 2 (84 hours9.722222e-4 days <br />0.0233 hours <br />1.388889e-4 weeks <br />3.1962e-5 months <br />, 3%)
During the previous SALP, the licensee's performance in this area was
Category 1. That rating was largely influenced by the timely completion
of Unit 3 systems and equipment and integration of those with the exist- '
ing systems and equipment for Units 1 and 2, while still maintaining an
effective security program at Units 1 and 2. During this assessment
period, four routine unannounced physical security inspections were per-
formed by region-based inspectors. Routine inspections by the resident
inspector continued throughout the period. Six violations wete identi-
fied during the physical security inspections. Sever &l of those viola-
tions had existed for an extended period and should have been obvious
to knowleogeable and attentive security personnei.
Corporate security management involvement in site security program mat-
ters was apparent early in the period. It included visits to the site
by the corporate staff to provide assistance, program audits and direct
support in the budgeting and planning processes affecting program modi-
fications and upgrades. Corporate security management personnel also
continued to be actively involved in the Region I Nuclear Security As-
sociation and other industry groups engaged in nuclear plant security
matters. This demonstrated program support from upper level corporate
management. However, an apparent reduction in the oversight and audit
function occurred as a result of the loss of two key corporate personnel
during the period, as discussed in the following paragraph.
During the previous assessment oeriod and in the early part of this as-
sessment period, the licensee wss heavily involved in integrating the
Millstone Unit 3 security program into the existing program for Units
1 and 2. This was accomplishea with minimum impact on the cverali
security program. The licensee decided that, with the integration of
the Unit 3 program, modifications to and restruct.uring of the proprietary
and contract organizations would be necessary to accommedt.te the in-
creased work load. While that decision was made in late 1985, it was
never formally instituted and coes not appear to have been actively pur-
sued. Several proprietary supe rvisory positions to which the l'censee
had committed were filled on a rotating basis without ensuring that the
incumbents understood their dut.ies and responsibilities and without pro-
perly monitoring their perfernance. Therefore, the majority of the in-
creased workload, which the licensee previously had identified, remained
the responsibility of one individual on-site. As a result, effective
oversight, interface and communications between the licensee and the
contractor organi:ation begar to degrade. Concurrently, it appears that
a complacency with program implementation and an insensitivity to NRC
requirements began to occur. These conditions were identified during
an NRC inspection late in the SALP period. That inspection resulted in
a civil penalty. While the individual violations were of low signifi-
cance, they represented a significant larse in management attention to,
and control of, the security program at Millstone.

l The annual audit of the security program, performed by the licensee's
i
quality assurance group, appeared to be comprehensive in scope and depth.
However, the number of violations identified by NRC during the period,
several of which had existed for some time, calls into question the ef-
fectiveness of the audit relative to the security progratn meeting NRC
objectives.
Review of the licensee's security event reports and reporting procedures
, found them to be consistent with the NRC regulation (10 CFR 73.71) and
l implemented by personnel knowledgeable of the reporting requirements.
The reports were generally clear and contained sufficient information
for NRC assessment. The licensee's actions following each of the events
were prompt and appropriate, reflecting the proper degree of management
oversight. During the previous SALP period, 10 security event reports
(SERs) resulted from security computer-related problems. The licensee
established a dedicated security maintenance group. There were 7 ccm-
puter-related SERs during this period. The remaining SERs, including
seven degradations of vital barriers, were not causally linked.
As previously stated in this assessment, some problems were encountered
with the licensee's oversight of the contractor's security force.
Several of the violations identified by the NRC should have been obvious
to trained and attentive security personnel. Members of the security
force, as well as licensee supervisors, patrol the site frequently and
should be alert for deficiencies. Of significance is that the violations
were not previously identified by security force members. There was also
a number of performance related events reported during the period. The
licensee needs to determine the root cause(s) of this problem and in-
crease its oversight of the contractor to preclude recurrence.
Staffing of the contractor's security force is adequate. The training
and requalification program appears sound and well developed, but because
of the problems identified during this assessment period, it needs to
be reviewed along with the manner in which it is being implemented.
During the assessment period the licensee submitted two revisions to the
Millstone Nuclear Power Station Security Plan ano one revision to the
Guard Training and Qualification Plan under the provisions of 10 CFR
50.54(p), and provided a response to the Miscellaneous Amencments to 10
CFR 73.55, codified by the NRC in August 1956. These inputs were of good
quality and incicated knowledge and understanding of NRC security program
objectives.
In summary, the licensee's security program, when properly implemented,
is sound and effective as evidenced by the licensee's past performance
record. The NRC believes that the decreased level of performance ex-
hibiced by the licensee curing this period can be attributed to a reduc-
tion in . manage ent oversight and involvement in the program as evidenced
by not carrying out plans to restructure the organization to accommodate

G. Outage Management
i 1. Outage Management - Unit 1 (265 hours0.00307 days <br />0.0736 hours <br />4.381614e-4 weeks <br />1.008325e-4 months <br />, 10*.)
!
Planning for the 1987 refueling outage began shortly after the con-
clusion of the 1985 outage. Early planning helped to ensure that
critical items were included in the outage work package and that
long lead time procurements were initiated to avoid unnecessary
, impact on the outage schedule. This also smoothed pre-outage
schedule development and supported early identification of safety
'
significant issues. Early and increasingly frequent formal outage
planning meetings, coupled with extensive multi-disciplinary at-
tendance and participation, aided in early problem identification
and resolution. These meetings also promoted interdepartmental
cooperation and the disciplined and cohesive team that existed at
the commencement of outage activities.
The licensee committed personnel and financial resources to computer-
based outage planning. The detail provided by this system proved
to be a key to successful outage management. The flexibility of
the system was tested when senior management determined shortly be-
fore the outage that two weeks needed to be trimmed from the sched-
ule and outage commencement was reouired one week earlier than pre-
viously planned. These changes were incorporated with minimal im-
pact. Detailed outage activity reviews by the NRC concluded that
schedule compression and early commencement had not adversely im-
pacted work quality or proper attention to safety issues.
Outage staffing was designed to respond to the increased pace and
complexity of outage activities. Operations Department shift
staffing was increased to ensure adequate activity coverage and
coordination, and maintenance of a safety perspective. Establish-
ment of an Outage Coordinator early in the planning phase strength-
ened the scheduling process. During the outage, the coordinator
, providSd supervisory oversight of activities, plant evolutions and
l conditions, and inter-departmental liaison. A management represen-
tative augmented Outage Coordination during the outage. This posi- i
,
tion was filled on a shift basis by unit department heads and other
I management level personnel. This representative brought a manage-
ment perspective to outage activities and implemented problem iden-
tification, resolution, and expediting activities. The overall
staffing plan proved highly effective in ensuring the quality of
safety-related activities.
I
Real-time management of outage activities was provided during regu-
larly scheduled twice-daily status meetings. Current project pro-
gress as w?ll as an expanded time-base printout of the projected
events during a one week window was provided daily to supervisors.
Daily meetings were characterized by accurate assessments of work
in progress and resolution of conflicts. Special meetings were

I scheduled as necessary to focus sufficient and appropriate resources
on specific problems. During these meetings, the licensee displayed
e' 9eration and a very positive attitude toward both nu: lear safety
a..a high quality work. The Plant Operations Review Committee (PORC)
provided excellent oversight of outage activities and issues (IR
87-12, Detail 21). The inspector noted, however, that valuable PORC
time was spent reviewing routine procedure changes and other items
that could have been accomplished prior to the outage. Although
a certain amount of such review is expected, efforts should be made
to clear routine work prior to outage commencement.
The success of outage planning was demonstrated by several activi-
ties which demonstrated excellence in outage coordination and the
licensee's maintenance of a safety perspective. These examples
include: response to loss of Jet Pump "K" flow indication as a re-
sult of installing new instrument no:zles; torus repair / painting;
Motor-Operated Valve Automated Testing System (MOVATS) testing dur-
ing initial implementation of the program; the lack of coordination
problems as evidenced by maintenance of proper plant conditions to
support outage activities; success of the Emergency Core Cooling
System (ECCS) Inte0 rated Test; and success of the Start-up Test
program.
A few isolated instances (e.g., ESF actuations) of less ef fective
control occurred during the outage. The events appear as a minor
perturbations in a successful outage program. Overall, there was
good planning and oversight of outage activities.

2. Outage Management - Unit 2 (280 hours0.00324 days <br />0.0778 hours <br />4.62963e-4 weeks <br />1.0654e-4 months <br />,10'o)
Previous licensee performance in this area was rated Category 1.
Cycle 8 pre-refueling activities were reviewed by the resident in-
spector during monthly pre-outage meetings. Detailed planning for
major evolutions were reviewed in the areas of material availability,
personnel requirements, ALARA reviews, design change packages status
and the time allotment for the completion of each activities. Man-
agement involvement in the early planning stages contributed to a
well run 1936 refueling / maintenance outage.
Refueling and outage activities were reviewed, including refueling
or,erations, steam generator nondestructive testing, replacement of
the Turbine Building Closed Cooling Water (TBCCW) heat exchanger,
local leak rate testing, and replacement of the main condenser in-
ternals and associated feed heaters and piping.
The licensee outage management organization included twenty-four
hour coverage by outage coordination and senior licensed personnel
(Management Representatives), including shift supervision and staff
assistants on all shifts as Containment Coordinators. Dedicated
, department coordinators and planners for I&C, operations, mainten-
ance, and Betterment Engineering were assigned to suoport operations.
- Routine, twice-daily management meetings contributed to effective
]
control of the schedule and to the prompt identification of new
problems,
'
During the outage, critical activities that were not meeting sched-
ules were identified for resolution. Corrective actions were ap-
plied in the form of additional manpower, changes in jcb activities,
and additional shifts. The Production Maintenance Management System
(PMMS) with its ability to address plant maintencnce activities in
the areas of boundaries, tag controls, activity status and required
recests contributed to ef fective tracking of major and minor repairs.
Major outage efforts involved steam generator nozzle dam installa-
tion and removal, secondary and primary side hydrolazing for reduc-
4
tion of exposure during ultrasonic testing of steam generators, the
1 replacement of the TBCCW heat exchanger, and the replacement of the
! main condenser tubes (with titanium ones), tubesheets and condenser
end bells, and its associated heaters. The new condenser tubes were
a critical path item. Completien of this major projcct, which re-
moved copper-bearing material from feedwater systems, eliminated
a source of material for sludge formation in the secondary side of
the steam generators. This program was ar. axcellent example of
i management etfectiveness, initiative, and good control of the work
'
in a short outage. All phases of engineerino, material acquisition,
1 and personnel planning were coordinated to ccmplete this project
j en schedule. Approximately 90'e of copper-contributing materials

have been removed. In addition, make up water modifications to
control secondary plant impurities to comply with EPRI guidelines
were completed. Direct management supervision was excellent. Goals
for installation and retests were met. The secondary water chemis-
try has since shown marked improvement in maintaining low concen-
trations of solids. ,
The licensee eddy current testing (ECT) of steam generator (SG)
tubes indicated a reduction in the number of needed tube repairs '
(2S tubes plugged and 225 sleeves installed). Most defects were
between the top of the tuoesheet and the first tube support. The
SGs were hydrostatically tested and found satisfactory.
SG local leak rate testing (Types B & C) during the outage identi-
fied leakage in excess of the technical specifications. The licen-
see therefore increased the scope of repairs to renew T-ring seats
on butterfly valves during every other outage. Post-outage pre-
critical, low power physics and power ascension tests were well
coordinated and performed, with active involvement of QA/QC,
!
The unit returned to power on December 19, 1936 and was shutdown
on January 29, 1987 due to primary to secondary leakage. Subse-
quently, reanalysis cf steam generator ECT data, (see Surveillance,
Section IV.D of this SALP) revealed tube defects that should have
resulted in tube plugging. Additional analysis resulted in an 18- l
day euttge for data review and plugging of an additional 91 tubes.
The NRC noted lapses in control of overtime during the January- l
February 1937 outage: there nere seven examples of ovartir.i6 i r, c -
cess of established guidelines without the requisite management
approvals. Licensee actions were responsive and will be reviewed
for effectiveness during the next SALP period. This appeared to
be a minor deviation from the effactive program established to man-
age outage activitics.

H. Assurance of Quality - Unit 1
- Unit 2
Assurance of quality is addressed as a separate functional area even
though it is an evaluation criteria in the other functional areas. The
defined quality assurance program is included, but the assessment pri-
marily addresses the effectiveness of licensee management efforts to
assure quality in day-to-day activities. Worker performance, attitudes,
involvement by supervisors, and the adequacy and use of management and
administrative controls were used as performance indicators.
High quality in the operating and outage activities for both units was
evident in good worker attitudes and pride in their work at all levels.
Procedures and administrative requirements were generally well estab-
lished and implemented by a qualified staff. Plant personnel approached
their work with the idea of doing the job right the first time, and there
was good regard for the quality assurance function.
A professional attitude was exhibited by the operating departments at
all levels. Safety conservatism was demonstrated in the resolution of
problems and in routine activities. There was good regard for meeting
commitments anri regulatory requirements. Site and corporate management
were effective, by example and leadership, in establishing safety as well
as efficiency as the goal of operations.
The Plant Operational Revie,e C:mmittees (PORC) fer both units functioned
as required by the Technical Specifications and the applicable procedure.
The licensee regards membership in the committee as a serious commitn.ent,
as evidenced by the attendance record. The licensee's commitment to
conservatism and safety was displayed by ccmmittee review of completed
riedification onckages in addition to the safety evaluationi required by
- Technical Specifications.
'
First line technical supervisors were actively involved with work in the
plants. The effectiveness of this supervision was reflected in good
plant performance records, general success of operating activities, and
low rework in maintenance, testing, and modification activities. There
was a good regard for established administrative controls and a good
record of following plant procedures.
As noted in tne other functional areas, there are several areas where
improvements can be realized: reductions in Unit 2 trips, more effective
self-assessment by the security force, especially first line supervisors;
control of Unit I locked high radiation area doors, and the posting and
control of Unit I radiation areas. Licensee management recognized the
problem areas, was responsive to NRC initiatives, and aggressively pur-
sued corrective actions.
The licensee's cuality assurance program for procurement control (pur-
chase, receipt, storage, and handling) was adequate, although additional
attention is needed to contrcl over shelf life for materials that age

in storage. Other aspects of material storage and control were adequate.
Access control, housekeeping and cleanliness in the warehouse, and re-
ceipt documentation were acceptable.
The licensee's audit program was comprehensive and included all facets
of plant operation. The audits were planned and scheduled, and had well
organilec check lists. They were in-depth and conclusive. Research and
analyses of the QC inspection results history to prioritize QC surveil-
lance and to more effectively use resources was commendable. An auditing
improvement was also evident in the more frequent use of discipline
engineers to evaluate of the acceptability of completion of an activity.
This enhanced effectiveness of the QC function.
The design change program, though satisf actory, needed more attention
to documentation and recordkeeping. Design change request packages con-
tained sufficient information but completed packages were disorganized,
records were misplaced and, in some cases, there wa', a lack of orderli-
ness. While Engineering provided thorough QC overview of the fuel con-
solidation project, in other engineering projects a lack of follow-up
was evidenced by the failure to adequately review the Unit 2 SG ECT data
and oversee the contr1ctors, by delayed resolution of the short hold-down
bolts for the Unit I low pressure ECCS pumps, and by weaknesses in EQ.
NRC review of the licensee's response to IEB 80-11,-Masonry Walls, found
the licensee's engineering and field activities technically thorough and
responsive.
A marked improvement was noted in radwaste transportation. Trequency
and scope of associated QA audits also improved.
Ongoing failures to comply with the submittal schedules established with
the NRC Licensing Project Manager adversely affected the performance
rating for Licensing Activities.
In summary, both plant management and staff were committed to high qual-
ity in operations as evidenced by effective implementation of the formal
QA function, diligent and conservative PORC sessions, and the general
success of operations and activities in direct support of operations.
However, significant inadequacies were noted in several engineering pro-
jects and in repeated failure to submit licensing amendments on a timely
basis.

1. Engineering Support
This is the first evaluation of this SALP functional area for Millstone
1 and 2. The area encompasses technical activities in addition to those
provided by the operations, maintenance, and instrumentation and controls
(I&r' departments.
Northeast Utilities maintained an appropriately sized engineering staff
in both the operating company (NNECO) and the support company (NUSCO).
The NNECO engineering department included onsite reactor, mechanical,
and electrical engineering groups. Each group has a NNECO engineer as
supervisor. Onsite groups reported to unit management; offsite groups
reported to management at utility headquarters. Additional technical
support was provided by the Production Test Group. These electrical and
electronic technicians and enoineers, rainly concerned with generation
and distribution equipment, were used for complex troubleshooting and
repair problems. The groups were composed of technically knowledgeable
personnel with skillful, seasoned supervision. They exhibited persever-
ante and dedication while performing tasks correctly the first time.
Having the Engineering Supervisor and his assistants hold operator
licenses improved coordination with the operating staff.
Based on the inspection of the environmental qualification program, man-
agement involvement was inadequate, in that it had not recognized the
extent of the EQ effort. Responsiveness to NRC environmental qualifica-
t ?- (EQ) iaitiatives was we J
4
An eva rle was the licensee letter dated
December 10, 1936, which addressed a comprehensive walkdown of Unit #2
EQ equipment, the resulting findings and the corrective actions. To
determine the significance of the issues and the adequacy of the correc-
tive action, the inspectors asked for the supporting documents for the
corrective actions. Two violations, one on wire nuts and the other on
spray pump motor terminations, resulted from this inquiry. The refer-
enced letter also incorrectly stated that the motor terminations were
replaced with NUREG ESB qualified terminations when the licensee used
Bishop splices (IR 87-15). Also, the licensee was unable to produce
auditable documentation on Limitorque wiring data af ter two days effort.
A third violation concerned inadequate qualification of Curtis 1.-type
terminal blocks in a Unit 1 valve operstor. Further, the licensee did
not have an effective tracking program to follow-up on EQ issues raised
by NRC. This resulted in lack of traceability of corrective actions on
management commitments to NRC in the EQ area.
Two licensee efforts to enhance the availability of preferred normal and
backup emergency power supplies were notable. These were modifications
comoleted daring the 1986 outage to prov'de a 4 KV, Unit I to Unit 2
cross-tie capability to enhance the ability to handle a loss of offsite
pa.ersblackout event. AO:itionally, the licensee was coating the insula-
tors in the 345 KV switchyard to decrease sensitivity to salt water

spray, and developed a new controlled shutdown procedure with the Con-
necticut Valley Exchange (CONVEX). Both of these efforts were positive
steps toward improved electrical power availability.
Appended Table 4 lists 11 forced power reductions and shutdowns (both
units) involving steam, condenser tube, and packing leaks; a generator
breaker trip, a stuck open pressurizer spray valve, and feedwater regu-
lating valve problems. Some of these occurrences were attributed to
Engineering Support. Many had no SALP area assignment. Nonetheless,
careful Engineering Support review of all such occurrences could prompt
changes beneficial to facility and Engineering Support performance.
1. Engineering Support - Unit 1 (263 hours0.00304 days <br />0.0731 hours <br />4.348545e-4 weeks <br />1.000715e-4 months <br />, 10%)
Millstone 1 had a generally strong engineering staff. The extensive
work and effort put into each project was evident. Support of major
outage design changes and projects was very good. ISI/IST was very .
gcod with a strong commitment to a quality program as evidenced by '
Intergranular Stress Corrosion Cracking (IGSCC) and Pump and Valve
programs (IR 87-16).
Success of the fire orotection program (as evidenced by IR 87-19)
was due to thorough engineering work. Voluntary establishment of
the General Electric Zinc Injection Passivation (GEZIP) system (IR
87-05) as supported by Engineering demonstrated a well planned
approach to and an innovative method for reducing drywell radiation.
Also, parallel engineering review of diesel fuel system design de-
, ficiencies (IR 87-04) demonstrated a comprehensive and aggressive
'
program for early identification and processing of generic items.

'
There were delays in upgrading the electrical bus undervoltage
scheme in response to NRC degraded electrical grid voltage concerns.
The associated design change has been in the works since 1984, and
final installation was to have been in 1937. Verification of the
design using the simulator revealed flaws, and implementation was
! deferred. While timely resolution of this issue remains c concern,
<
i
engineering reviews of the issue showed effective use of simulator
ano the probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) process to thoroughly
evaluate proposed plant modifications.
<
l Comprehensive review of generic issues was generally evident for
- Service Information Letter (SIls), Information Notices (ins), NRC
, Bulletins (IEBs), and INP0 notepad items . These reviews were al-
i most always in-depth analyses. Often the issue pro'.ed to be not
, applicable with the review raising other questions that were at-
tively pursued. An example was IN 85-45 on seismic II/I concerns
for incore flux mapping systems. Although this IN was not applic-
able to Unit 1, licensee follow-up identified a comparable situation
,
of the Traversing Incore Probe (TIP) ball and shear valves being
mounted on the same "table" as the heavy shield box. A seismic

event could cause the whole table to fail, resulting in the poten- i
tial loss of the associated containment isolation valves. The lic- ;
ensee developed a design change to address this. Some examples of f
less satisfactory engineering support are noted below.
In 1984, NNECO identified the potential for short foundation bolts '
for low Pressure Injection and Core Spray pumps. NUSCO engineering ;
was slow to respond to associated site initiatives and slow to i
a recognize that the problem existed. The presence of short bolts
was not confirmed and corrected until 1987.
.
The recurrence of main condenser tube leaks requiring frequent power
maneuvers to identify and repair needs design resolution (see Table
4A). A contributing cause for the August 1987 reactor scram was
the failure to incorporate appropriate new core design precautions
into the operating procedures. These examples show the need for
. better engineering support initiatives to resolve long standing,
l recurrent problems, and to assure timely completion of design inputs !
into operating controls. [
l s
i
Engineering incorrectly concluded that inoperable ADS check valves !
(multiple common mode fcilures) were not reportable to the NRC.
This issue, which was issued as a violation in Inspection 87-33,
reflected a need for greater licensee sensitivity to reporting re-
quirements.
!
A review of Licensee Event Reports (LERs) showed that fifteen events
were the result of lack of follow-through by the technical staff. ,
For example, the inadequate fire coating of the diesel generator '
'
ceiling, nonconforming foundation anchors for the low pressure
coolant injection and core spray systems, and failure to obtain a
Technical Specification change for removal of the low pressure in-
! jection and core spray pump start logic permissive switches showed
a lack of thoroughness in engineering reviews. Also, preventive
engineering reasures could have eliminated or reduced problems with i
source range monitor drive relays affecting the intermediate range
,
eonitors and with Target Rock main steam line safety / relief valve ,
setpoint drift.
i
j In summary, the engineering and technical support groups were com- ;
i petent and actively involved in plant modifications, design im- '
provements, and resolving problems. The onsite and corporate eng- L
ineering staffs exhibited an in-depth commitment to safety.
'
Cngi-
neering support effectiveness was clearly evident in the success
q of the Appendix R program. While initiative was shown in the ad-
- dressal of issues, improvements could be reali
- ed in resolving
- long-standing problems, and in assuring design inputs / changes are
correctly translated into operating procedures and the license.

The onsite engineering department cont.isted of a department super-
visor and 20 engineers and technicians. In general, they performed
in-depth reviews of information notices, bulletins, and vendor in-
formation. These on-site engineers and technicians were thoroughly
knowledgeable and put safety concerns to the fore during projects
and day-to-day decision making. The engineering staff generally
supported other unit departments effectively.
The NRC attendeu numerous plant operating review committees meetings
on design changes. Engineering staff inputs were essential to
changes that reflected safety-significant commitments. In addition,
the engineering department program for bslance of plant piping in-
spections led to repairs which allowed the unit to operate through
cycle eight with no leaks in any large bore piping on the extraction
steam, feedwater and condensate systems.
Examples of significant engineering staff actions were found in the
areas of fuel reconstitution and consolidation. The fuel reconsti-
tution program was managed by the engineering staff and concisted
of a new approach to eddy current testing. The vendor fuel was not
designed for reconstitution. New techniques were used to rotate
fuel assemblies on end and replace failed fuel with stainless steel
rods. Fourteen assemblies were reconstituted, with the engineering
staff monitoring all phases of the project.
The Engineering Department and Corporate Engineering successfully
ccmpleted a pilot Fuel Consolidation Pro; ram. This project was
groundwork for extencing nuclear plant soent fuel pool capacity
throughout the nuclear industry. Six fu4l assemblies were included
in the first successful "hot" demonstration of a 2:1 consolidation
process using irradiated assemblies. Si> spent fuel assemblies were
consolidated into three storage boxes. Engineering provided suc-
ressful designs and evaluations. There were no procedural viola-
tions.
DuringthepreviousSAI.Pperiodthelicensee'sreviewofplantde-
sign changes was faulted due to a miswiring of pressurizer spray
controls. During this SALP period, the NRC attended a number of
licensee design change reviews and found that the reviewers were
knowledgeable. In-depth and technically sound discussions were
observed. On a number of occasions, design changes were sent back
for additional review. Design changes that were safety significant
included the replacement of the "C" Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP) motor
with one with a more reliable upper bearing design, installation
of a new control room computer while still maintaining control room
programs with the old computer in service, addition of a new fire
damper, and the previously described fuel reconstitution and pilot
fuel consolidation program.

Several fire protection problems are identified in Section IV. A, ;
Plant Operations. Also, as is evident from the Appendix R corres-
pondence, the licensee has not effectively resolved Fire Protection
and Safe Shutdown matters. Six years after the Appendix R regula- j
tion was issuea, the licensee was still submitting exemptions re- ,
vising their Fire Hazard Analysis and was still asking for issue
clarifications. Installation records for components required for r
shutdown showed that items such as emergency lighting that were to l
be installed in 1933 were installed in late 1986 or early 1937. <
Fire protection will require additional review after the 1938 outage. 1
The licensee has not been notably attentive to NRC fire protection
initiatives. For example, the NRC issued Information fictices in
1933 concerning problems with the installation of fire dampers. l
In 1936, the licensee issued an LER describing a fire damper in- i
stallation problem. This slow response could have been avo W d by
timely addressal of the ir. formation notices.
The licensee has conducted in-depth reviews on both minor and major
modifications. Safety concerns and the effects of modifications t
i
on operations were addressed. Management dispicyed awareness of l
the significance of design changes that effected nuclear and balance- ,
of-plant operations.
l
-
Design changes that increased safety and reliability included: in- !
stalling a pressuri:er pressure deviation alarm; placing a contain- !
, ment tendon grease pressurization system in service to eliminate !
'
water intrusion; and a change to the electrical system to allow a '
cross-tie between Unit 1&2 to supply shutdown power from an alter-
nate source.
Although numerou; projects were successfully completed by the engi-
neering staff, the steam generators were returned to service without
i correction of tube defects, In this case, the ECT data review
t elements were not specified and depended on vendor review. Results
- review for tube defects did not include review of conflicting in-
terpretations, and faulty resolution of a conflicting interpretation
resulted in the start-up with tube defects in excess of repair cri-
i teria. The licenste aggressively took steps to correct this and
I
, to eliminate further problems through a training program, with
l testing, and with additional corporate hvolvement in determining
! status of steam generators prior to their return to service.
- Two reactor trips during the assessment perico were caused in part
, by design deficiencies. One involved an air line on the reheater
j drain control valve that was not adequately supported (12/23/S6
scran). The second involved the improper overcurrent trip setpoint ,
e plant electrical buses powering the preauri:er heaters. Fol- !
low-up acticns to identify and correct these deficiencies were l
l
proper,

A problem with charging pump discharge blocks, which have continued
to exhibit cracking, has been addressed by obtaining three pre-
stressed (shot peoned) blocks. Also, the licensee is assessing the
feasibility of modifying the charging system by adding a fourth
centrifugal charging pump. These are steps toward resolution of
this long-term problem.
A review of Licensee Event Reports (LERs) showed ten events were
the result of lack of follow-through by the technical staff. For
example, technical suoport inadequacies were shown by inconsistency
of the reactor coolant pump requirements with the safety analysis
assumptions for Modes 3, 4, and 5, an error in the service water
flow through RBCCW heat exchanger FSAR Table, and inadequate fire
protection for charging pump supports in the main cable vault and
raceway.
In tummary, the engineering and technical support groups were com-
petent and actively involved in design modifications, plant im-
provements, and in resolving problems. Good initiative was shown
in the fuel reconstitution program. Engineering support resulted
in an acceptable Appendix R program, but improve-<nt was needed in
responding to NRC initiatives and achieving tinely resolution of
long-starding regulatory issues. The onsite and corporate engi-
neering staffs exhibited an in-depth ccm.mitment to safety.

J. Training Effectiveness - Unit 1 :
- Unit 2 l
During the previous SALP period, this area was rated as Category 2. A j
general strength was coted in training with the exception of training ;
in rad,(aste shipments. That training has since been found to have been ;
improved substantially, t
!
The effectiveness of training and qualification, as evidenced by the ;
. performance of licensee personnel, is integral to all aspects of plant
operation. As such, the assessment of training effectiveness is compiled !
from the assessments of the other SALP areas. ;
Major training areas included INPO accreditation, non-licensed staff ;
training, and licensed operator training. All applicable training pro- ,
i grams for Millstone 1 and 2 were accredited by INP0 during the SALP t
assessment period. i
'
In this assessment period, there was evidence of increased emphasis by
licensee management on non-licensed technical training. The licensee '
increased the training staff and added and upgraded training facilities ,
l in this aspect, The licensee also implementec management changes in the ;
training organization to enhance its effectiveness. *
'
'
Training effectiveness was demonstrated in many specific aspects includ-
.
ing local and :entainment integrated leak rate test programs, the emer- ,
4
gency plan and implementing procedures; the conduct of outage related I
surveillances, maintenance, fuel shuffle and design change activities
and plant operating procedures and administrathe controls,
i
The licensee also instituted departmental Training Program Control Com- l
mittees, each consisting of a first line supervisor and members of the i
training staff. This allows better communication in establishing and
- prioritizing training needs The licensee also provided intensified i
s training for first line supervisors, realizing that effective management ;
l
requires more than technical proficiency. ;
The training and requalification program for the security force was !
,
generally well developed and implemented. However, NRC-identified prob- ;
-
lems and the associated escalated enforcement action showed that addi- [
tional attention was needed to assure the force is adequately trained i
in basic program objectives and is capable of detecting deficiencies in !
meeting those objectives. )
i
Unit 1 management supoort of training and recognition of operator pro- !'
i
ficiency was evident. Northeast Utilities developed an excellent train-
,
ing facility housing a modern plant specific simulator and the in-house {
j~ training staff. Management involvement in training was evident in their j
knowlecgeable discussions with NRC personnel, in their interaction with <
the training staff, and in their observance of training activities.

Evidence of sound Unit I non-licensed technical training was observed
during this $ ALP period. The maintenance department had a well trained
staff as evidenced by the absence of maintenance-related scrams or chal-
lenges to protective systems. The maintenance department demonstrated
ef fective training in the repair of equipment associated with 10 CFR 50
Appendix R requirements. Training of staff engineers effectively im-
proved the quality of LERs, as noted in the operations section. In re-
sponse to NRC findings, the Instrumentation and Control Department ex-
panded its on-the-job training program and training on significant in-
dystry events.
A training inadequacy was identified when the unit scrammed in March 1987
while transferring reactor pressure control from the EPR to the MPR.
Subsequently, the operators routinely transferred pressure control be-
tween the regulators when routine power reductions were performed to
increase their experience with this manipulation. There were no further
plant transients as a result of faulty EPRMPR transfers.
During this assessment period, the NRC administered replacement examina-
tions in December 1956 and September 1987 for Unit 1. Nine senior reac-
ter operator (SRO) candidates, and nine reactor operator (RO) candidates
were examined. Seven SRO and all RO candidates successfully completed
the examinations and were licensed.
During the Unit 1 1936 examination, the NRC identified some generic weak-
ness in the training program for licensed operators. These weaknesses
were: 1) knowledge of location and use of drawings; 2) familiarity with
refueling interlocks; and 3) the use and interpretation of Technical
Specifications. In 1987, the examiners noted proficiency in the use and
interpretation of Technical Specificatiers; drawing use and refueling
interlock knowledge were not identified as continuing weaknesses.
The simulator was a valuable asset in providing high quality training.
However, several problems were encountered during the 1937 simulator
examinations due to inadequacies in the cause and malfunction book and
failures of a computer board and an electrical power supply to a specific
panel, The malfunction book did not include sufficient detail in de-
scribing the effects of certain malfunctions. For example, loss of DC
power did not include recirculation pump trips as one of the effects.
The malfunction and cause book needed more management attention and re-
view. Except for the simulator cause and malfunction book, the Unit I
training program was effective. Sufficient management attention was
provided to further improve the program. The licensee was generally
responsive to NRC initiatives, and effective corrective actions were
implemented to solve preolems.
Daring this assessment period, Unit 2 sponsored 17 candicates for hot
licenses, with 14 candidates recom*.erded for licenses. Replacement ex-
aminatices were acministered in July 1986 and December 1986. Nine senior

reactor operator candidates were examined; eight passed. Eight reactor
operator candidates were examined; six passed. Weaknesses noted in July
1986 were not found in December 1986. In general, the overall perform-
,
ance in the operating exams was considered good. This indicated that
the training department was able to properly prepare personnel for their
, operating licenses and took action to correct weak areas.
.
In December 1986, a training program inspection consisted of the parallel
grading of written examinations for 20*4 of the licensed operators and
, audits of three simulator examinations and one oral examination. Overall,
q the requalification program was found to be satisfactory with some minor
exceptions. The format of the simulator examinations did not allow for
l adequate followup questioning to distinguish individual weaknesses from
<
group weaknesses. In one isolated case, the program did not adequately
train the operators on the applicable Technical Specifications associated
with the remote shutdown panel. This weakness was previously identified
during the 1985 requalification cycle. Subsequent training was inade-
- quate as shown by operator errors described in LER 86-07 relative to the
Technical Specifications for this panel. The training department has
since acceptably addressed this area as demonstrated on the SR0 examina-
tion in December 19S6.
l
- During the examinations, several procedures were found to have errors
i or to conflict with other procedures. These were discussed with the
licensee during the exit meeting in July 1986 and were corrected prior
to issuance of the examination report. This demonstrated quick addressal
of NRC concerns. Overall, the operator training program was rated as
satisfactory based in the results of the replacement examinations and
he evaluation of the requalification program,
i
1 tvidence of good Unit 2 non-licensed technical training was observed
during this SALP period. The maintenance department demonstrated effec-
tive training in the repair of equipment associated with 10 CFR 50 Ap-
4 pendix R requirements. Training of staff engineers has effectively im-
! proved the quality of LERs issued by the licensee, as noted in the
! operations section. The need for improvement in the training on fire
protection modifications was identified, in that some operators hao
problems locating safe shutdown equipment and removing certain breakers.
.
An extensive eddy current testing (ECT) training program has been insti-
tuted. Cogni: ant site and corporate engineers have received additional
formal training and have formulated a training program for the ECT in-
spectors who will examine steam generators at the next outage. Manage-
mert commitments to ensure proper outage item repair to the committed
training programs have been reflected in good control of design changes.
In sLmmary, training effectiveness was demonstrated in the overall good
a performance noted in the various functional areas, with -ignificantly
- improved performance in the area of radwaste packaging and transportation.

K. Licensing Activities
1. Licensing Activities - Unit l_
Ouring the previous SALP period, the licensee was rated Category
1. Consistent. The previous SALP noted that the licensee continued
to show good management overview of licensing activities, which are
conducted by a competent staff with ready access to the various
technical resources that contribute to the effective resolution of
safety issues. These activities were also supported by a 'aowl-
edgeable, experienced, and dedicatec plant operating staff. How-
ever, that SALP also noted that schedules for written commitments
should be improved.
At the beginning of the current SALP period, the licensing backlog
for Millstene I was 43 items, representing a mixture of licensee
and NRC staff initiatives. During the SALP period, 33 licensing
actions were completed including 13 amendments to the operating
license. A backlog of 41 items remained at the end of the SALP
period.
During the current SALP period, the licensee continued to to be
actively irvolved in the assurance of quality in licensing activi-
ties. Most submittals by the Itcensee showed good evidence of prior
planning in that they were substantially complete and supported the
proposed licensing position. A good example of the licensee's prior
planning, as indicated in submittals to the staff, was the deter-
ministic ard probabilistic Integrated Safety Assessment Program
(ISAP) evaluations together with the licensee's proposed integrated
assessment of issues. These submittals required not only good prior
planning for the individual issues, but also a substantive effort
in the preparation of the proposed integrated assessment of all
issues. Another example of prior planning was the Full Term Oper-
ating License, which was issued on October 31, 1986. A third ex-
aeple was the December 24, 1956 application for a full 40 year
cperating license. The licensee showed initiative by providing
corresponding information for Millstone Unit 1 if questions on a
similar license request was asked for by the staff for Millstone
Unit 2 or Haddam Neck.
Although most NRC/ licensee interactions were at the working level,
the licensee's upper manage *ent followed licensing activities and
became involved as needed. An example was licensee executive vice
president involverent in ISAP roetings with the NRC staff.
The licensee de onstrated a ce> ire for open and frank communication
with the NRC, Licensee management participated in keeping the NRC
amare of current arc projected licensing activities.

l With regard to the resolution of technical issues, at the conclusion l'
of the review of each licensing action (license amendment, exemption,
!
code relief, etc.) the adequacy of the licensee's technical exper-
tise was particularly evident during interactions with the staff, j
, An example was response to staff questions regarding the startup >
) of Millstone Unit I from its 1987 refueling outage with less than ;
. all twenty jet pumps operable. i
. .
l With regard to responsiveness to NRC initiatives, the licensee ex-
- perienced problems in providing timely responses to NRC requests
-
for information during most of the current SALP period. The licen- l
3
see's tardiness in their submittals tended to slow the pace in a ;
l number of key licensing actions. In the case of changes to the ;
Technical Specifications for Primary Containment Isolation submitted :
i
as a corrective action for a Region I Violation (50-245/87-05-01), l
a the submittal was unduly late since the violation cited the untimely ,
application for TS changes. In another instance, the licensee l
applied for a change to .he Technical Specifications to reflect the r
i
deletion of the low pressure switches from the ea:ergency core cool- !
, ing system (core spray and Icw pressure coolant inspection) pump i
{ start logic. These switches were deleted during the 1987 refueling
outage and the request for technical specification changes was not '
submitted until two conths after plant restart. This delay was due .
to an oversight by the licensee. !

During the current SALP period, the NRL staff initiated its Safety l
Issues Management System (SIMS) to improve tracking of Safety issues. l
l The licensee was responsive to the SIMS initiative and met with the !
l staff to help bring the Millstone 1 SIMS data up to date.
!
! With regard to Staffing and Training, the licensee maintains a l
I cualified ano traired staff to pursue both the licensee and NRC !
<
initiatives, recognizing the need to prioritize such initiatives. l
I
As an example, the licensee's participation in ISAP has been out- i
i standing. Their initiatives in probabilistic risk assessment have !
l provided greater in-house analysis capability that has provided the j
- plant operations staff with rew insights on the plant's vulnera- l
3
bilities and strengths. The licensee's staff continues to be active !
in industry groups and, accordingly, its submittals tend to reflect i
, industry viewpoints in addition to their own. l
, i
{ In sumary, the licensee maintained i well--anaged and knowledgeable !
! licensing staff, but delayed the submittal of information needed i
j oy the NRC fo- resolution of safety issues. In some cases, the
1 licensee requested delays in submittal dates. More often, however,
j the licensee simply notified the NRC that their submittals wmid
- be delayed. '

2. Licensing Activities - Unit 2
_ i
During the previous SALP period, the licensee was rated as Category
1, consistent, in this functional area. The previous SALP noted ,
that the licensee had demonstrated considerable technical capabili- J
ties in licensing activities; however, the NRC staff expressed the l
view that responses to NRC initiatives could be further improved. l
i
At the beginning of the current SALP period, the licensing backlog !
for Millstone Unit 2 was 30 items, representing a mixture of licen- l
See and NRC staff initiatives. During the SALP period 31 licensing
items were completed including 11 license amendments. A backlog l
of 17 licensing items remained at the end of the SALP period. j
!
During the current SALP period, licensee management was actively
involved in the assurance of quality in licensing activities. Most l
submittals showed good evidence o,' prior planning in that they were i
substantially complete and supported the licensee's licensing posi- 1
tion. One exanple of the licensee's prior planning, as indicated >
in a submittal, was the December 22, 1986 application concerning
a full 40 year operating licensee (OL); this submittal effectively '
integrated economic, safety and environmental inputs. A similar !
instance of good prior pir ning was the May 21, 1986 submittal con- !
cerning consolidation of spent fuel, which was also actively re- '
viewed during the current SALP period.
Although most NRC/ licensee interactions were at the working level,
the licensee's upper management followed licensing activities and
beca~e involved as neeced. One example of the Itcensee's management
involvement was the Cecember 10, 1987 meeting on the 40 year OL
between the NRC staff and the licensee. This meeting involved
active licensee participation at tne vice president level.
The licensee demonstrated a desire for open and frank comunication
with tne NRC. Licensee management participated in keeping the NRC
aware of current and projected licensie.g activities.
With regard to the resolution of technical issues, at the conclusion
of each licensing action (license c endment, exemption, code relief,
etc.), the principal reviewer provided covents concerning the ace-
quacy of the licensee's techn: cal approach to the resolution of
safety issues. These co m ents were generally favorable during the
current SALP period. The licensee *s technical expertise was par-
ticularly evident during the March 5,1987 steam generator tube
leakage eeetinC ::aring which the licensee prescribed and interpreted
an extensive body of data on steam generator tube degradation.
During the SALP pericd, in July 1987, the NRC audited the safety
evaluations prepared by the licensee in support of facility changes,
tests and esperiments udertaken without prior commission approval.

l
The licensee maintained adequate procedural controls to determine i
the existence of unreviewed safety questions in accordance with 10 t
CFR 50.59. "changes, tests and experinents." The evaluation con- -
cerning Plant Design Change Request 7-89-85 (Spent Fuel Pool Rerack !
Project) was particularly noteworthy for its completeness and in- l
s.
depth evaivations. ;
1 During this SALP period, it was decernined that the vital chilled !
water system which provides cooling for the vital DC switchgear
4
[
rooms had been inoperable for moee than 3 years. The associated l
10 C R 50.59 safety evaluation was adequate but lacked detail and ;
- rigor to support U *inued inoperability of the vital chilled
.
!
, water system. The see stated that the vital chilled watJr !
, system safety eval had been prepared prior to upgrading the !
- procedures for prc ion of 10 CFR 50.59 safety evaluations, and ;
3 that the procedures cresently in ef fect are core thorough and com-
j prehensive. The NRC concurred with this.
l
-
With regard to responsiveness to NRC initiatives, the licensee ex- i
i
perienced significant problems in providing A.ly responses to NRC l
requests for inforttiation during most of the w w t SALP period. I
, The licensee's tardiness in their submittals e d to slow the pace i
,
in a number of key licensing actions. In one case, involving l
l c6.anges to the Technical Specifications associated with TMI Action !
i Items (Generic Letter 83-37), the licensee was over two years late !
! in responding. ;
) TU weakest area, in terms of responsiveness during the current SALp I
period, was the licensee's fire protect, ion program. During 1936, i
the licensee alerted the staff that they would submit a revised 10 t
J
CFR Part 50, Appendix R analysis for Millstone Unit 2. The NRC !
staff eadn a number of attempts to encourage the licensee to make l
i
'
a timely submittal in order to assurc that any needed exemptions j
could be issued prior to a statutory due date which corresponded l
to the end of the January 1937 refueling outaga. Following the re- t
i fueling outage, a February 24, 1937 neeting was held at NRC Region (
j I to discuss the submittal schedule. It was not until May 29, 1937 i
j that the fire hatards analysis was submitted. The lateness of the !
'
],
licensee's submittal prevented the NRC staff from fully utilizing
their resources during the subsequent fire protectie, inspection
i at Millstone Unit 2 during the week of July 10-17, since no prior
] review of the s';tmittal could be made. (See Section IV.I, Engi- !
neering Support, for assessment of the fire protection program.) i
! !
l Near the end of the SALP period, prior to the refueling outage, the i
) licensee failed to submit licensing requests in a tirely manner. i
- These requests included two changes to the Technical Specifications [
l and an exemption associated with use of the "mass point" nethod for t
) calculati9g containment leakage. Although the licensee was aware !
!
! ,
,
t
4 j
, -_ ._~ __ _ _ _ ._ ,.
.
60
of the need for these licensing actions well before the refueling
,
shutdown, they delayed their submittal, thus requiring expedited
review by the NRC staff.
By letter dated.May 12, 1987, the NRC staff directed the licensee's -
attention to four reviews where the licensee was late in responding
to requests for information. These reviews were: Relief Valve and
Safety Valve Testing, Regulatory Guide 1.97, Secondary Wa:er Chemis-
try, and Reporting of Relief Valve and Safety Valve Failures and
challenges. In the licensee's response dated June 15, Ic87, a '
schedule was provided for the necessary information and i. commitment
.
-
was provided toward improving responsiveness in the futu'e. Initial
indications were that responsiveness on the part of the licensee '
had improved.
During the current SALP period, the NRC staff initiated its Safety
Issues Management System (SIMS) to improve its tracking of imple-
mentation schedules associated with safety issues. The licensee ,
was responsive to the SIMS initiative and provided several SIMS up- '
dates, most recently on Octo'oer 8, 1987.
With regard to Staffing and Training, the licensee maintained a
qualifies tr'd trained staff to pursue both licensee and NRC initi-
-
atives, rt Nnizing the need to prioritize these.
!
T h license 's staff continued to be active in industry groups, most
, noticeably the Combustion Engineering Owners Group anc the S.ismic
Qualification Utility Group. Accordingly, the licensee' submittals
often reflected wider industry viewpoints in addition to those of
their own.
In suinmary, the licensee continued to maintain a well managed and
knowledgeable itcensing staff. During the SALP period, the licensee
has delayed the submittal of information required for resolution
of safety issues. In some cases, the licensee requested delays in
submittal dates. More often, however, the licensee delayed submit-
tais on their own initiative without renegotiating the submittal
date with the NRC. This has become a chronic problem.
In dealing with the NRC, the licensee has proved to be mostly co-
operative. The licensee continued to maintain an informal policy
'
,
which permits the use of licensing contacts with the NRC which
exclude the NRC Project Manager.

B. Supporting Data and Summaries - Unit 2
1. Allegation Review
Allegations about Millstone 2 were:
--
That a contractor employee was fired because of his past con-
tacts with the NRC. The Department of Labor found in favor
of the alleger, and the employer appealed. Hearing of the
appeal has been postponed for an extended perioc at the alle-
ger's request. NRC review has found no indication of a licen-
see practice of discriminating against individuals.
--
That fire dampers are undersized. This was unsubstantiated.
'
--
That Litton-Veam connectors are inadequate in. moisture sealing
characteristics. No immediate safety implications were iden-
tified. The allegation was referred to the vendor inspection
branch because of generic considerations.
--
That significant radiation exposures occurred during a spill.
This was unsubstantiated; the precipitating event appeared to
be a spill drill with no radioactive material involved.
