The licensee summarized the present organization structure for decommissioning, i

and discussed actions to address problems in the areas of maintaining the licensing ]

and design bas;s and in maintaining control of the plant configuration, particularly I

as related to the spent fuelisland; in conecting problems with the effluent l

weaknesses in the corrective action prccess and the radiation protection program.

The licensee discussed initiatives to raise management standards, and to improve

monitoring of activities in the plant, such as through the work observation program

and trending activities through the use of the nuclear oversight organization and the 1

use of enhanced key performance indicators. The results of the recently completed
