SUBJECT:

FOLLOWUP ON FERMI 2 OSTI INSPECTION Per the conversation between Dick Cooper of my staff and you on April 4, 1988, Region III requests that you provide followup on certain areas at Fenni 2 including shift activities, operation evolution evaluation program, and operational comunications. These inspections should center on problem areas identified during your inspection including:

Operations did not always perform to the high standards associated with the nuclear industry.

Operational attitudes were production oriented causing insufficient attention to be paid to certain administrative aspects of plant operation.

Poor communication was exhibited by and between management and shift personnel.

Support personnel for plant operations were not utilized to the maximum extent possible.

Operators exhibited difficulty in using Technical Specifications as a working document.

Operators lacked commercial BWR operating experience.

The performance to paycheck concept had not been totally implemented.

The engineering support to plant problems was weak.

We would be amendable to your proposal of forming a team consisting of Dick Cooper and two of the original OSTI te:m members to inspect the above l areas for a one week period. The tentative date of late July 1988, is also

(

acceptable. We intend to firm up the inspection dates with you in May.
