McGUlRE NUCLEAR STATION

1. PLANT OPERATIONS STRENGTHS:

• Longer runs and improved capacity factors

• Use of SRO in integrated Scheduling to minimize operability conflicts e improved daily operating schedules

• Daily management plant status meetir.2s  ;

• Decreased number of violations from 9 Level 4 in previous ,

SALP period to 1 Level 3 and 1 Level 4 in most recent SALP period

• No operator error induced reactor trips in 3 years e implemented tagging / labeling program for equipment and components - noticeable absence of wrong unit / wrong train ,

events in 1988 (

• Improved housekeeping / cleanliness in all areas

• Control room upgrade in progress - will improve working conJitions and standardize control room indications  ;

• Control of materials / loose objects in containment l

• Use of plant deficiency tags to identify deficiencies and follow up actions

• Developed McGuire Management Council  ;

• Developing international interface (Russia / Cuba / France)  !

FIRE PROTECTION:

• Reliability enhancements to fire protection procedures i

• Ongol:tg review / upgrade of fire protection equipment pts l

• Improved organization / training of plant fire brigade

O e

• Thorough, technical Duka Power QA fire protection audits have been performed and Identified items for improvement that have been completed CONCERNS /lNITIATIVES:

x Operations / Maintenance work control practices and plant status knowledge needs improvement Project /2 schedule improvement allows every work activity to be updated daily. It produces individual crew schedules to allow better planning and prioritization of work. This provides a more accurate status of work completion and ensures controlled entry into various T. S. modes.

Plant management emphasis on improving root cause analysis of all plant events should improve our performance here. We are pressing accountability for this analysis to lower levels in the organizational and to less significant events.

X Unplanned reactor trips and associated ESF actuations are trending upward.

Two-thirds of all recent reactor trips are caused by equipment failures. When a piece of equipment falls when tested, it is trended and analyzed under the new Test Failure Analysis Program. This program includes an equipment history review and a root cause analysis.

System Experts are begl~nning to analyze equipment failures not associated with test failures, in addition a PM-2 program for predictive maintenance is being i utilized more extensively now.

4 f

• Increased number of violations due to procedural non-compliance Violations are occurring due to inadequate procedures and a lack of strict adherence to procedures. Measures which have been taken which should improve our performance here:

(A) Clarified Independent Verification procedure and covered it in requal training.

(B) Clarified Tagout/ Removal and Restoration procedure and covered it in requal training.

(C) All sections are pursuing procedure upgrade programs.

(D) Line/ staff communications were held with station personnel to emphasize procedural adherence / procedural adequacy.

(E) Superintendents stress procedural adherence through section head meetings to maintain a heightened awareness.

(F) A station newsletter article, "Procedures are not Suggestions or Guidelines" by the Station Manage. was recently issued to employees (Refer to Attachment A).

(G) G.O. Licensing Group reviewed all incidents dealing with personnel error for trends, it was recommended that supervisors need to follow up on personnel errors to determine contributing factors or extenuating circumstances, if any, for the error.

• i l

1 l

Emphasis on better root cause analysis should help resolve thin (Refer to Attachment B). l (H) The Operating Excerience Management and Analysis (OEMA) function in our General Office was recently requested to review incidents from the past two years dealing with procedural adherence to determine any underlying causes for deviation. It was determined that corrective actions for past incidents may have been too confined to a specific work group and that administrative deficiencies associated with procedural adherence should be better identified in the investigations. The report is currently under review (Refer to Attachment C).

(1) McGuire Operations personnel recently participated in the development of an Operations' "Commitment to Excellence" which is a professional code of conduct (Refer to Attachment 0).

11. RADIOLOGICAL CONTROLS STRENGTHS

• Catch / containment leak control program has reduced leaks and contamination

• Improved outage support due to improved job pre-planning and more efficient use of technicians

• Reduction in personnel contaminations

• Eliminated contract HP techs for routine work

• Dosimetry system accredited by the National Voluntary 4 Accreditation Program

• Reduction in number of NRC violations from 8 in previous l

SALP period to 1 in most recent SALP period

• 94% free access to the Auxiliary Sullding CONCERNS / INITIATIVES X Radwaste volume generated exceeds national average i

} A trash segregating and sorting system was implemented i

in December to reduce the volume of compacted clean i trash.

Radwaste volume reduction working group studied this concern, made recommendations to management and several j improvements have been or are being implemented.

Upgraded shredder / compactor equipment has been purchased which will further reduce radwaste volumes.

• Cumulative dose exposure exceeds national average i

There has been a reduction in cumulative dose for non-outage work. However, the major source of exposure i was work associated with refueling and maintenance l

1

outages. A4 loop Westinghouse / ice condenser plant has more maintenance requirements than those used to calculate the national average. Efforts to increase S/G life and remove the RTO bypass system have resulted in high doses. All radiation exposure jobs were assigned to groups in the station for detailed ALARA planning, resulting in much more detailed ALARA plans. The initial results look good. A major management initiative has been taken to transfer more dose accountability to craft worker and supervision and away from HP.

Increased level of management involvement and membership l

on ALARA committee.

The accountabli of ALARA planning responsibilities

!, between HP and Maintenance Planning is being clarified.
