I MEMORANDUM 10: RfCORD m FROM: James M. Taylor Executive Direct m [.
or Operat ons b,
SUBJECT:
DROP-IN VISIT -- COMMONWEAL.TH EDISON On October 11, 1995, at 3:30 p.m., Mr. James J. O'Connor, Chief Executive Officer,-and Mr. Michael J.-Wallace, Chief Nuclear Officer, of Commonwealth Idison (Comed) met with Messrs. James Taylor, James Milhoan, William Russell, Steve Burns, and Brian McCabe of the NRC to discuss Hems of mutual interest regarding the Comed nuclear facilities. The following topics were discussed:
. Comed's Commitment To improving Dresden
. Material Condition at Zion
. Declining Performance at Braidwood
. Comed Resources Mr. O'Connor began the meeting by stating that Coned's Board of Directors is very committed to Dresden and that the company is not considering prematurely shutting the facility down. Mr. O'Connor reiter.ted that adequate resources '
have always been available to Dresden and that money cannot be used as an excuse for poor performance. The Nuclear Division is $20M over budget for the year, of which $14M is attributable to Dresden. Recently, there was a meeting of Comed's Top 250 managers, and every manager expressed a commitment to provide the resources that Dresden needs to improve performance. Mr. Taylor expressed that during his recent visit to Dresden, he was disappointed by the poor material condition of the plant, the skill of the craft wt.tknesses, and management's lack of focus on maintenance rework. Mr. Taylor also discussed the importance of the system-by-system design and performance review planned for Dresden. Mr. Taylor reiterated that with proper management direction and focus, a performance turnaround at Dresden is achievable.
Mr. Taylor led off the discussion about Zion by questioning Mr. Wallace about the significant material condition problems that were' discovered during a recent NRC inspection at Zion. Specific material condition problems discussed pertained to:
. Emergency Diesel Generators (cam lobes)
. Rod Position Indication
. Safety injection minimu'm flow line plugging
. Feedwater Pumps i
. Steam Generator Blowdown / Condenser inleakage Mr. Wallace was not familiar with the specific issues raised but committed to ensure that these material condition problems received prompt plant management attention. Mr. Taylor reiterated that the material condition problems are significant and should not be tolerated by plant management. He questioned whether management and staff at Zion recognize the significance of the problems and whether plant management was willing to live with the>e problems.
Mr. Taylor concluded the Zion discussion $ by stressing that the NRC will continue to monitor performance at the plant very closely and A ll not tolerate unsafe operations, i

o . .
f There was a limited discussion regarding performance at the Braidwood plant.
Mr. laylor shared his impressions of Braidwood following his r(ient visit to ,
the site. Mr. Taylor shared his ccncerns about declining material conditions, i the high rework rate, and the recent poor performance on a basic skill of the i craft test (30% failure rate). Mr. Wallace stated that he shares Mr. laylor's concerns about Braidwood and is confident that the current management team at Braidwood is taking action to address these concerns.
Mr. O'Connor then addressed the issue of the adequacy of resources provided to Comed's nuclear program. Mr. O'Connor stressed that Comed sentor management has never requested their staff to defer important work because of limited resources. He again stated that adequate resources have always been available to the nuclear plants and that insufficient resources cannot be used as an excuse for poor performance. He concluded by stating that the Board of Directors is committed to the nuclear program and that resources are adequate to operate the plants safely and effectively.
The meeting adjourned at 4:30 p.m. No regulatory decisions wer'e requested nor made.
