l In' response to our telephone conversation on July 2,1996, I have enclosed the ;
requested background information concerning the Maine Yankee Independent Safety Assessment (ISA). I understand you intend to provide this information to the ISA Citizens Review Group, which was established by the Governor, to review the progress of the ISA.
Enclosures (1) and (2) are self explanatory, Enclosure (3) is a copy of the NRC's Management Directive governing Diagnostic Evaluations, revised to address the Integrated Safety Assessment approach. Highlighted text has beer added, and lined through text deleted from the original Manual ;hapter 8.7. ,
Enclosures (4) and (5) have not been revised to reflect the ISA approach, and are provided~to give a sense of the level of effort, planning, and the i I
methodology employed in a major team assessment.
I hope you will find this information useful. If you have any additional ,
questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely, (Original signed by E. W. Merschoff)

- 6. Assessment Methodology The ISAT will apply the basic methodology of the diagnostic evaluation i program to develop an overall assessment of licensee performance across the areas of operations and training; maintenance and testing; engineering and technical support; and management and organization.
The approach will deviate from this methodology in the following areas:
. The members of the ISAT will be independent of Region 1, NRR, and of any recent or significant regulatory involvement with Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company.
e The ISAT will report directly to the Chairman.
1 e .The ISAT will include participation of two members of the State of Maine's Division of Health Engineering within the framework of the NRC's Policy Statement on Cooperation with States at Commercial i Nuclear Power Plants. !
- 7. Coordination and Communication with the Chairman, the NRC Staff, and the State of Maine Chainun I
The ISAT manager reports directly to the Chairman, and will keep her informed of the assessment's progress through periodic briefings.
Currently, five such briefings are planned at the following Key Milestones:
Milestone Chairman Brief Team Composition / Assessment Week of June 10, 1996 Plan Development j Assessment Plan Revisions based on Week of July 8,1996 Team Preparation l Completion of Initial Onsite Week of August 5, 1996 Assessment i Completion of Second Onsite Week of August 26, 1996 Assessment Prior to Public Exit Meeting and Week of September 30, 1996 Press Conference Additional briefings of the Chairman will be scheduled as requested, or based on significant emerging issues.
]
NRC Staff During the course of the assessment, any emerging safety issues-requiring prompt action to assure the health and safety of the public will be provided to the licensee, Region I, and NRR for appropriate :
action and followup. Additionally, allegations received by ISAT members will be processed through the NRC allegation management system, with responsibility for resolutions falling to the appropriate NRC office.
In order to maintain effective and consistent regulatory oversight of Maine Yankee, appropriate managers and staff in the E00's office, NRR, and Region I will be briefed on the ISAT findings at Key Milestones following the brief of the Chairman. Coordination will be developed
, with the Office of Investigations and the Office of the Inspector General to assure they are informed of findings related to their areas of responsibility and to assure any parallel work is fully coordinated.
1 State of Maine l In order to keep the State of Maine informed of the progress of the l ISAT, briefings of the Governor will be offered through the State Representatives. The first briefing will be offered prior to the first onsite period, which begins with an entrance meeting that is open to the public, and will address the overall plan and approach of the ISAT. The second briefing will be offered prior to the public exit meeting and will address the team's findings and conclusions.

- 8. Assessment Preparation ISAT leaders will begin preparations June 10, 1996. ISAT members will assemble and begin preparations June 17, 1996. Meetings will be held in the AE00 offices in the Two White Flint North Building. Detailed presentations will be provided by Regional, NRR and AE00 staff on Naine I Yankee relative to the unique aspects of the plant and any significant technical licensing, or performance issues. Additionally, site specific information (e.g., inspection reports and licensee procedures) will be distributed and discussed to assist the ISAT members in the preparation process, which will extend through July 12, 1996. Training in the ISAT 1 process, site access training and the expectations of the ISAT I management will be provided. Draft functional area evaluation plans I will be discussed during the team meeting, followed by a detailed evaluation plan, which will be approved by the team manager.
- 9. Independent Safety Assessment Documentation l
As issues are identified during the evaluation, each ISAT member will document the issues, in detail, using the standardized observation forms. Completed observation forms will be given to the Team leader and ,
The observation forms revised as reew information becomes available.
will be used to brief licensee management during the onsite evaluation, and NRC management at the conclusion of the evaluation. The ISAT report will be completed by September 27, 1996 and will be issued following the
- on site public meeting with the licensee. Writing styles (including level of detail to be presented) should be consistent with the guidelines established for diagnostic evaluations. Additionally, the i
team will provide Region I with documentation of areas evaluated and i time expended relative to Manual Chapter 2515 to ensure appropriate credits can be taken.
- 10. The Maine Yankee ISAT will include an Administrative Assistant, to support the administrative needs and activities of the team, who will report to the Team Leader. Travel arrangements, working hours, assignment of rental cars, motel reservations, licensee background i material, assembly of documentation of team findings onsite and coordination of the team report preparation, conduct of administrative aspects of the Independent Safety Assessment will be discussed at the team preparation meetings. Security clearances and site access training requirements must be current at that time, so that unescorted access processing can be conducted. It is anticipated that ISAT members will receive unescorted access. Any administrative or logistical questions or concerns should be discussed with the Administrative Assistant. ,

Dear Mr. Frizzle:
l l
. This letter is to inform you of our plans to conduct an Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) of the Maine Yankee station, and confirms a telephone .
conversation, on May 31, between me and Mr. Whittier of your staff and a j subsequent discussion on June 6, 1996. The purpose of this ISA is to provide an independent evaluation of safety performance of Maine Yankee as a follow-on
- to the recent report by the NRC Office of Inspector General. The overall goals and objectives of the ISA are: (a) provide an independent assessment of confonnance to the design and licensing basis; (b) provide an independent assessment of operational safety performance; (c) evaluate the effectiveness l of licensee self-assessments, corrective actions and improvement plans and; l (d) determine root cause(s) of safety significant findings and conclusions. I have been directed to man. age the ISA team and, for this project, report directly to the Chairman, Dr. Shirley Ann Jackson.
The ISA will be composed of a team of Nucist Regulatory Commission (NRC) j Headquarters and Regional evaluators and NRC contractors. Also, the State of Maine will have representatives on the team. NRC team members will be l independent of any recent or significant involvement with the licensing, !
regulation, or inspection of Maine Yankee. Our plans call for the assessment to take place during June 10 through October 4, 1996. Our preliminary plan is to be on site, or at the Maine Yankee corporate headquarters, during July 15-26, 1996 and August 12-23, 1996.
Additional information regarding the Assessment will be provided in future I communications with your staff. Representatives of the ISA Team plan to be onsite on' June 20-21, 1996 to provide further information on the purpose, l process, and plans for the Assessment, make preliminary logistic and administrative arrangements, and request key station and corporate documents. '
