Public Meeting Summary i
Management Meeting for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station
-l l
November 2 Manaaement Meetina Summary:
This management meeting was conducted as a part of continuing periodic oversight of the performance of the Quad Cities Station. The meeting was originally scheduled for October 8,1998, but was postponed to November 2,1998, due to conflicting activities occurring at Quad Cities. The most recent public management meeting was held on August 13,1998, and was conducted in two parts, with the first part of the meeting focused on activities associated with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R, Fire Protection, and the second part focused on current ; eris nn' nce and those areas of concern identified prior to restart in May 1998. This Novembe, 2,1998, meeting touched on the same areas, but was primarily centered on recent plant performance, in particular, the focus areas included a discussion of the Unit 1 scram on September 30,1998, performance of the Unit 28 feedwater regulating valve, successes and challenges in plant material condition improvement and corrective action improvement, and the status of fire protection improvement activities. Commonwealth Edison (Comed) representatives described significant improvement efforts, but also acknowledged existing challenges. Comed provided a thorough discussion of each of the focus areas, except fire protection. The fire protection discussion was limited because a detailed working level meeting on Quad Cities fire protection has been scheduled for November 19,1998, at the NRC offices in Rockville, Maryland. NRC representatives questioned Comed on the specifics of each of the events and improvement areas.
The Ecensee presented information contained in the applicable handout in Enclosure 2 during the meetings.
