\ Date: Fgidy, anuary 27, 1995 11:15 as Subjecti ~ MC 0350 - Millstone 2 I discussed with Zimmerman the issue of regulatory oversight for Millstone 2 restart being managed under the MC 0350 process, and particularly discussed -
the balance of increased administrative burden on the staff versus the need to {
follow a prescribed agency process if the specific conditions warrant it. He (NRR), like you, Tim, believes that we should follow the MC 0350 process for this activity.
Jacque, Larry - make it happen. In so doing, make judicious use of the IP3 "models" to minimize the admin, burden.

What are the significant changes since the lasi meeting? Results of the quality assurance audit. Current performance indicators. Old Business: e The panel decided there was a need to issue the updated version of the Restart Assessment Plan before the next commission meeting on August 6, 1997. The update will include the recent revisions made to make common items similar across all three units, updated status of SIL items, and any appropriate comments from the panel.

IV. OSTI Status and Mannina: (1) Currently Scheduled Milestones: e 10/13/97 Start of Unit 3 modified OSTI e 11/22/97 Unit 3 goes to Mode 4 (hot shutdom? e 11/22/97 Licensee submits 50.54 (f) completion letter for Unit 3 e 12/19/97 End of NRC Unit 3 ICAVP inspection effort l (2) General Discussion Concerning the OSTl: e We need to find people for the OSTl. Regional support should be coordinated through the Deputy RA. We also need to fix a date. The OSTI could be rescheduled to end on 11/24/97 vice earlier date above. e Most of the OSTI will be done when there will be no real operations in l progress. This is probably OK since OSTI will be looking at big ticket i items. The OSTI may have to be two tier with a second smaller group watching plant operations during and after plant heat up.

m MILLSTONE RES' ART ASSESSMENT PANEL MEETING MINUTES , September 24,1997 Attendees: D. Beaulieu N. Blumberg A. Cerne S. Dembek J. Durr T. Ecslick E. Imbro W. Lanning D. Mc Donald P. Mc Kee S. Reynolds L. Scholl T.' Shedlosky J. Trapp W. Travers 1 Approved the meeting minu,tes from the August 13,1997 RAP meeting. ! Discussed the status of the MC 40500and OSTIinspections. The licensee has delayed " physically ready for restart" which impacts the start of the inspection process. Due to the delay, W. Travers will hold the memorandum to the deputy l regional administrators requesting inspector support.
- T. Shediosky will develop a set of criteria for NRC initiation of the MC 40500 inspection by October 6. Consideration will be given to uncoupling the MC 40500 i
inspection from the OSTI to facilitate licensee and agency needs.
- The panel agreed that the temporal relationship of the OSTI and MC 40500 1
inspections to the end of the ICAVP corrective action inspections will be maintained. J. Trapp will reissue the draft OSTIinspection plan to the RAP for approval. The OSTI schedule will be designed to capture specific activities and to observe operational mode changes whenever they might occur to optimize team efficiency.
- MC 0350 status was presented by the inspection staff.
MS 3 86 total SIL items; 27 are closed; 37 packages are overdue. MS 2 51 total Sllitems; 10 are closed MS 1 108 total SIL items; 1 is closed. The panel agreed that it was acceptable to close a SIL item during the inspection of the item if one or more unresolved issues remained that did not impact the restart criteria for the unit. For example,if the SIL item was a programmatic area and the inspection identified a minor administrative unresolved issue, it is appropriate to close the Sll and track the issue under the open item tracking system. N
- P. Mc Kee proposed a SIL item closure plan (attached) as a method for closing items assigned to licensing such as "FSAR adequacy for restart and the 10 CFR
, 50.59 process." l _,

e The panel discussed the status of the CAL for operctor training. It is not clear what actions are being taken or need to be taken to close the CAL. J. Durr will folloty up with DRS on the plans and remaining actions needed to close the CAL. e The panel determined that, given the licensee's announced delay in the " physically ready for restart date," it would be the opportune time to share the ICAVP corrective actior inspection completion dates with the utility. This is currently the critical path inspection needed to complete the ICAVP inspection phase and is a major milestone that paces many NRC activities. This will be coordinated through the director's office before release. e The panel approved doing an initial ICAVP or.ective action assessment inspection on October 27,1997 to probe the status o, iconsee activities and establish expectations. 43 ' e Similarly, there will be an employees concern program inspection using MC 40001 on October 27,1997 to verify LHC findings and licensee reported status. l-
- P. Mc Kee will contact the Human Performance Branch and ascertain if someone with the proper credentials can support the management inspection portion of the MC 40500 inspection, t ,
r . . .

4J ' 3 e The panel discussed the potential overlap in LHC activities and those of the MC 40500 inspection (i.e. the corrective action presentation made by LHC that directly relates to MC 40500). P. Mc Kee will contact LHC and coordinate future activit The panel was briefed of the licensee's powe* ascension program. The licensee currently has a draft plan that outlines their ascent to power operation and ) assessment milestones. N. Blumberg will develop a draft NRC inspection plan for the power ascension phase and provide it to the panel by October 16. l The panel discussed the ICAVP-SSFl inspection findings and their impact on NRR. ! If the findings need NRR staff review and positions, a determination needs to be made if a TIA is warranted to document staff positions versus a verbal. E. Imbro (* . i. i

- Telephonically Discussed the lack of meeting minutes from the November RAP meeting. Reynolds and Blumberg have notes that can be assembled to capture the essence of the meeting.
Panel members need to develop a late, pacing items list that will enumerate the end l of project major issues that need to be focused on such as VETIP and S&L DDR's. i List listing will be added to the commission briefing paper. Unit 1 has one SIL item complete. The licensee is not providing any packages , ' completed packages at this time. The residents are only performing the core ! inspections, all other effort will be directed to Unit 3. i Unit 2 has 11 of 51 SIL items completed. The programmatic areas are being inspected but not closed. Unit 3 has 29 SIL items closed; 8 more will be closed in inspection report 207.
- There are approximately 20 packages in the backlog and another 5-10 will be closed in inspection report 208.
Need to complete the updating of the Restart Assessment Plan. Mc Kee will provide updated input on LAR's and ECP, l

The resident inspection staff provided an update of the Significant Items List status. Unit 2: Twelve of the 52 SIL packages have been closed; 30 items are in the licensees process. All NRC backlog packages are being inspected. Unit 3: Thirty eight of the 86 SIL packages are closed as of December. Five of the SIL's will not have packages because they are programmatic issues such as review the Hannon Report or review the enforcement j issues. NNECO owes us 13 SIL packages. Of the remaining 30 packages,9 r,equire inputs from NRR; 14 will be inspected by special ; inspection teams and 7 are within SPO control. l E.

I 6 . e 3 The project managers provided a status report on license amendment requests for Units 2 and 3. For Unit 3, there are 6 open LAR's,4 for mode 4 and 2 are near completioii. The instrument inaccuracies needs more information and may challenge the mode change dates. The LAR dealing with the pressurizer level setpoint may need to be revised, there is currently a request for information. Two LAR's are needed for mode 2, the issue on the spent fuel pool boraflex and the shutdown margin monitor.
)
J We are awaiting the submittal on the Arcor potential USQ. The licensee may deal with this under GL 91-18 while awaiting the license amendment. The licensec just submitted a relief request that they will need prior to mode 4 on base line for the RSS pump. For Unit 2, there are 22 LAR's,11 are complete. Major LAR's are HELB inside containment; control room technical specifications; Appendix R / Thermolag exemptions. l I l l 1 _}}
