DAVIS BESSE EVENT AUGMENTED INVESTIGATION TEAM (AIT) CHARTER
- 1..
Develop and validate the sequence of events associated with.the September 6,1987, reactor trip at Davis-Besse. This sequence should begin with plant conditions immediately prior to the event, including known significant deficiencies in safety-related and. balance of plant equipment, and extend until the plant was stable on the Decay Heat
[
Removal System.
Key items to be included are all equipment malfunctions, major plant evolutions / status changes, operator errors, licensee management / support organization response, and reports made to the NRC.
2.
Evaluate the significance of the event with regard to radiological consequences, safety system performance, and plant proximity to' safety limits as defined in the Technical Specifications.
3.
Evaluate the accuracy, timeliness, and effectiveness with which 1
information on this event was reported to the NRC.
1 4.
For each equipment malfunction, to the extent practical, determine:
a.
Root cause.
b.
If the equipment was known to be deficient prior to the event.
)
c.
If equipment history would indicate that the equipment had either been historically unreliable or if maintenance or modifications had Si been recently performed.
6 d.
Pre-event status of surveillance, testing (e.g.,Section XI), and/or preventive maintenance.

6.
Through operator injerview, determine if any of the following played a significant role in the event: ' plant material condition; the quality of maintenance; or the responsiveness of engineering to identified problems.
Unles.s.,these concerns involve immediate safety issues, team action should be limited to communicating the concerns to NRC management.
7.
Provide a Preliminary Notification update upon initiation and conclusion of the inspection.

1 ATTN: Mr. Donald Shelton i
Vice President Nuclear Edison-P1aza 300 Madison Avenue Toledo, OH 43652 l
Gentlemen:
On September 6,1987, the Davis Besse Nuclear Power Plant exp'erienced an automatic reactor trip with multiple equipment failures. Because of the significance the NRC attaches to such events, and in light of prior history at-Davis Besse, Region !!! with the support of NRC Headquarters, on September 8, 1987, dispatched an Augmented Investigation Team to the site to
. review the circumstances leading _up to the reactor trip and to evaluate the significance of and your response to the subsequent equipment failures. Based on the results of that team inspection and your.results presented at the meeting with the NRC in Bethesda, Maryland on September 15, 1987, we conclude' 1
that your investigation into the circumstances surrounding the reactor trip and the subsequent equipment failures, was thorough; that the investigation identified root causes associated with the various occurrences; and that you established l
i an appropriate action plan to support plant restart.
After consultation with Senior NRC Management. I have concluded that'it is I
appropriate that you be authorized to restart the Davis Besse facility and conduct norr.a1 operations.
Notwithstanding the findings of the Augmented Investigation Team and the information that you presented to us during our 1
meeting of September 15th, concerns,still persist regarding the overall-j material condition of the Davis Besse facility and the rate at which that 1
material condition is being addressed by your existing Course of Action programs.
You are, therefore, requested to review your existing plans for improving the 1
overall material condition bf the Davis Besse plant, and in coordination with l
the commitments set forth in your Course of Action document, make a determination l
as to whether a reprioritization of your activities is appropriate.
You are further requested to meet with the NRC in approximately 45 days to discuss.the i
t

findings of your reviews and conclusions in this regard.
Specifically, you hould be prepared to discuss the outstanding backlog of corrective and s
preventive maintenance, actions taken or planned to reduce that backlog, and I
the impact of that backlog on continued safe and reliable plant operations, hh n-.- --er A. Bert Davis Regional Administrator L. Storz, Plant Manager DCS/RSB (RIDS) q Licensing Fee Management Branch 1
