SUBJECT:

BEAVER VALLEY 2 TEAM INSPECTION OF INITIAL CRITICALITY.AND LOW POWER OPERATION As a result of the July 8, 1987 Comm ssion meeting to consider a full power license for Beaver Valley 2, the Commission "equested the staff to provide a written sum-mary of the licensee's low power operating experience at Unit 2 before Commission action authorizing the staff to issuo a full power operating license. We are planning a team inspection of activi*.ies at Unit 2 starting approximately two days before criticality through operation up to 5% power to provide the bases for such a summary.

The inspection team will consist of 1.he following personnel:

Lowell Tripp, Team Leader Jim Beall, Beaver Valley 2 SRI and Assistant Team Leader Peter Wen, Startup Specialist, DRS Skip Young, Beaver Valley 1 SRI (part time)

Steve Pindale, Beaver Vality 1 RI (part time)

Len Prividy, QA Specialist, DRS Andra Asars, Haddam Neck R1 Peter Tam, NRR Project Maneger (part time)

A draft copy of the inspection plan is enclosed. Round the clock coverage will be provided of final preparations for entering Mooe 2 (initial criticality), ini-tial criticality, low power operations and testing, and. completion of prerequisites for entering Mode 1 (75% power). A special inspection report will be issued at a later date. However, to provide the operating experience summary in a timely manner, each inspector will be required to provide a SALP-type evaluation of their observations and inspection experience before they leave the site. Using these inputs, an overall summary evaluatior, will be developed by the tear leader to en-close with the Commission paper (note reference to such ti report in the enclosed draft paper) within three days ofter the licensee finishes this phase _of startup.
