CHARTER FOR THE DAVIS-BESSE REACTOR VESSEL HEAD DEGRADATION LESSONS-LEARNED TASK FORCE REVISION 3 Objective The objective of this Lessons-Learned Task Force is to conduct an independent evaluation of the NRCs regulatory processes related to assuring reactor vessel head integrity in order to identify and recommend areas for improvement applicable to the NRC and/or the industry.
Scope The task force should address the following areas:
- a. Reactor Oversight Process Issues - evaluate the underlying causes of the Davis-Besse reactor vessel head degradation, and assess whether enhancements to the NRCs reactor oversight process are warranted.
- b. Regulatory Process Issues - evaluate regulations, the licensing review process, and other NRC regulatory processes such as generic communications to determine whether enhancements are warranted in light of the recent discovery of reactor vessel head degradation at Davis-Besse.
- c. Research Activities - determine whether there are any issues associated with the NRC process of utilizing reactor operating experience and the results of various research programs, including research performed by NRC, to appropriately inform the regulatory process in light of the recent discovery of reactor vessel head degradation at Davis-Besse.
- d. International Practices - identify and evaluate, to the extent practical, foreign regulatory practices relevant to the issues raised by the recent discovery of reactor vessel head degradation at Davis-Besse that may enhance NRC programs and practices.
- e. Generic Issue Process - evaluate the NRC process for identifying and responding to emerging technical issues in light of the recent discovery of reactor vessel head degradation at Davis-Besse, including the implementation of short-term and long-term follow-on efforts by the licensee and NRC.
2 The scope of subjects considered by the task force should not necessarily be limited to those noted above. Should the task force decide to expand or otherwise revise the scope of the charter, the Deputy Executive Director for Reactor Programs should be informed of any significant changes to the charter or the topics of review. The task force may decide to recommend certain issues for consideration by the staff in the longer term.
The task force should also consider the results of a number of other on-going review activities.
These include: (1) the staffs reviews related to the technical root causes of the degradation of the Davis-Besse reactor vessel head; (2) the findings from the NRCs Augmented Inspection Team (AIT); (3) any findings associated with planned AIT followup inspections; and (4) IMC 0350 process review activities.
Expected Product and Schedule The task force will provide its observations, conclusions, and recommendations in the form of a written report to the Deputy Executive Director for Reactor Programs. The task force review activities should be completed by September 30, 2002. The final issuance of the report should be coordinated with the completion of the review activities, noted above, as appropriate.
Staffing The task force will consist of the following members:
Team Leader: Arthur T. HowelI III, RIV Assistant Team Leader: Edwin M. Hackett, RES Administrative Assistant: Elaine A. Raphael, NRR Team Members: Russell L. Bywater, Jr., RIV Patrick I. Castleman, NMSS Joseph E. Donoghue, NRR Robert C. Haag, RII Thomas Koshy, NRR Ronald L. Lloyd, RES Joelle Starefos, RII State Observers: Representatives, State of Ohio Other staff members may be consulted on a part-time basis.
Senior Management Interface The task force will report to the Deputy Executive Director for Reactor Programs and will periodically brief senior management (Executive Director for Operations, Office Directors, Regional Administrators, or their designees) on the status of the effort and provide early identification of significant findings. In addition, the task force will regularly interface with the cognizant OEDO staff to keep them abreast of progress.
