SUBJECT:
.SPECIAL STUDY REPORT.- MAINTENANCE PROBLEMS AT NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS The Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data (AE00)' has completed.
a special study on operating nuclear-plant maintenance deficiencies based on the'
. review of operational experience over the last four years. I have enclosed a copy of the report for your consideration and use.
.The review focused on existing studies and reports by 'AEOD, generic.
communication documents issued by NRC, feedback documents issued by INP0 and licensee event reports issued by the licensees of domestic plants. These documents were reviewed to identify maintenance-related problems and deficle'n-cies, the systems and components affected, and the human and organizational.
errors associated with maintenance. The review attempted to detemine if there has been a discernible trend in the area of maintenance. The study ahe
. addressed estimates of the magnitude and trends in the costs of identified maintenance deficiencies to the comercial nuclear industry.
This report can provide additional-insights for ongoing maintenance team
-inspections, as well as provide.some basis to consider modifications to applicable inspection modules. Additionally, the results can provide useful data to further an understanding of the quality of maintenance.at operating plants. 'The information in this report can provide insights to assist in preparing a regulatory guide on maintenance. Lastly, the information regarding.
. financial matters can provide additional infomation for a realistic assessment of current maintenance costs.
