- 0. NORKIN READINESS ASSESSMENT TEAM MEMBERS The meeting was called for the Millstone Assessment Panel to hear the findings of the Readiness Assessment Team. The first order of business was to define what constituted a ' restart issue." The MAP concluded that a restart issue was one that was a deficiency having a regulatory basis that would make the operatien of the plant unsafe. Other items would be considered on a case by case basis for recommending it as a restart issue.
The meeting was turned over to the RATI team members to discuss the details of their findings and for the MAP to determine if the individual items constituted a restart issue.
The items discussed are contained in Attachment 1.
The following items were assessed as restart issues by the MAP:
An electrical tagging error occurred during the maintenance of a motor e
operated valve. The operators depend on the 1st line supervisor to ensure the tagging boundary because they are not technically qualified to read the detailed electrical drawings.
The licensee is currei.tly using the electrical technicians and the 1st line supervisor for ensuring the accuracy of electrical tagouts.
The licensee performed a root cause analysis and needs to implement the corrective actions in a timely
- manner, e
MAP should assess the need to monitor the punch list items.
e The MAP needs to assets the SAT findings and determine if ttey are restart issues.
Specifically, the operational configuration control issues, e
The MAP determined that because the AITTS is part of the corrective action program (provides tracking and closure of corrective actions) the licensee should enture key people are trained and the deficiencies in the program are corrected in a timely manner.
Need a commitment on the foregoing and a schedule for completion.
The MAP discussed the need to establish NRC expectations on the controls over items on the Unit No. 2 Restart Punch list. They concluded that the licensee should provide the NRC with a current status of open and closed items, assurance that any items deleted or the scope changed would be approved by the Plant Operations Review Committee, and inform the resident inspectors of any of the foregoing changes.
The NRC resident inspectors will assess any of the 9002250198 980220 PDR FOIA O'MEALI97-469 PDR 0

~1 deletions or changes to determine if the alterations are acceptable.
(
The format and content of the MC 0350 letter was discussed.
L. Nicholson presented a proposed draft for comment.
The MAP members will provide comments to L. Nicholson no later than June 12 1995. The proposal will be provided to the regional and headquarters manageme,nt for further guidance.
The MAP decided to provide the licensee with the restart issues by the following Monday to allow time for the licensee to develop adequate responses, where possible, before the Restart Meeting on June 14, 1995.
The MAP discussed the current milestones and schedules to establish priority activities (Attachment 2 and 3). The MAP will reconvene on June 13, 1995, at 8:30 a.m. to discuss the licensee's Startup Ass 3ssment Team Report findings to determine if we should endorse any of the findings as restart issues.
Additional agenda items include a briefing by DRS of the status of the Energency Operating Procedure inspections, general inspection attributes and information necessary to close the issue.
The MAP will meet again on June 26, 1995 to consider the E0P inspection results, the status of the ESAS/ load l
sequencer problems, and closeout status of MC 0350 issues.
The MAP discussed what the content of the June 14, 1995 Restart Meeting with the licensee should be.
They concluded, as a minimum, the meeting should address the following:
1.
The licensee should address the May 25, 1995, letter and the s'
contained recomendations of the SAT, NSAB,and the vice president.
2.
Generally, what occurrences caused the extended shutdown, wha' has been done to correct the problems, and what performance standards and acceptance criteria currently indicate.
3.
The licensee should discitss their current actions for the NRC Readiness Assessment Team Inspection findings where appropria.te,.
recognizing that some issues were recently ident Nied. [g 4.

4 De following represent the preliminary findings from the RATI as of Thursday June 8,1995.
Assessment of Start uo Plans The licensee failed to implement a single, inclusive, integrated start up plan that clearly defined the problem areas, identified initiatives, and presented specific measures of performance.
ACR's which identified communleations as u weakness were not brought to the attention of the indivioual responsible for the Unit 2 communications plan.
Corrective Action Systems The Action tracking system is not being effectively used by key personal such as system engineers. Also, aspects of the system appear to not be user friendly. As a result, key information regarding safety significant programmatic and hardware issues is not being effectively communicated throughout the organization.
I A large backlog of ACRs is developing. Thc *wensee has not demonstrated the ability to effectively close out ACR's.
j Some confusion still exists over the classification level of ACRs.-
f He licensee's response to external organizational issues has been less than adequate (SAT, NRB, assessment finding on tracking tech spec surviellances).
Maintenance i
l l
Material conditions in the plant are still in need of improvement. Boric acid deposits which are indicative of valve and pump Dange leaks were identified by the team that had not been identified by 'he licensee.
/'
The licensee's classificatiot
, stem for maintenance procedures is nadequate. No electrical or mechanical procedures are classified as continuous us(e (required followed step by step at the jobsite). Maintenance personnel's interpretation of the requirements for procedural adherence on non continuous use procedures varies.
I Problems with the licensen lanning and scheduling of work have led to an overall s
ineffectiveness at completing work. Also, this presents a challenge in the l
configuration control ares.
t DutIAtioDL ne management of the available licensed operators presents a continued concern,
I especially in the work control area where the number of available operators has the potential to impact the quality of the work control process.
The licensee's process for setting electrical isolations is deficient. Although short term actions have been taken in the form of a second maintenance check, additional actions are required to ensure both plant and personnel safety.
He licensee's method for informing the control room of equipment status (work released) is Gadequate.in that it relies on verbal communication only, n/
Concerns exist over the licensee's use of component manipulation forms to perform actions more appropriate to a procedure.
He team idem;fied one case where overtime guidelines were exceeded without pre-approval.
He operation's procedure for mode change from mode 6 to 5 did not include the documentation of all required operable equipment. The SO blowdown rad monitors were inoperable ~ and required to be operable by tech. specs.
I Engineering The two system readiness reviews sampled by the team were not fully effective. For g
the diesel review, weaknesses were identified in the open item lists generated for the system engineer's review. With regard to the control room emergency air syrem, two untested damper valves were identified by the team.
The licensee has a large backlog of engineering work requests requiring disposition.
It does notappear that a continuing issue with reverse power trips on the emergency diesel generators has been fully resolved.
The team indentified several JCL s
' were apparently closed out without proper documentation.
