SUMMARY

REGARDING BROWNS FERRY FUEL LOAD  !

f On September 13, 1988, members of the OSP staff met with TVA at the Sequoyah site to discuss Browns Ferry fuel load. A list of attendees is attached as Enclosure 1. A copy of the slides used by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) is attached as Enclosure 2. L Mr. White, Senior Vice President, Nuclear Power stated that fuel load at Browns  !

Ferry is an irportant milestone because it will allow the operators to develop  ;

a renewed sense of plant operations and accountability for operating under  !

Technical Specifications and limiting conditions.

L TVA's presentation began with a description of their system evaluation process

which is a part of their System Preoperability Checklist (SPOCl procedure. The f staff expressed concern that TVA's process for determining system operability -

does not include an explicit analysis of incomplete ceneric programs. TVA r stated that the SPOC process includes identification of incomplete work and  !

) evaluation and rationale foi postponement, as well as a system for control of [

? deferred work. There are three programatic areas (79-02/79-14, civil ('

calculations and cable separation) for which the discovery phase will not be a complete prior to fuel load. For these prograns, TVA will have completed  !

l enough of the discovery phase to make a determination that no large problems l l

requiring significant physical modifications should be found.

1 TVA presented their technical bases for plant conditions to be met for fuel i load, which is defined in the FSAR, Appendix G. The staff requested l clarification on this point. Operational conditions as defined by TVA did 1

not include closing the vessel, and the staff requested and received a l- clarification on how required work for different conditions would be controlled.

' Also, TVA responded to staff questions regarding other events (e.g., loss of i.

1 reactor vessel level, fire, flooding) that are included in their analysis, but not shown on the handout, t

The definition of fuel load bcundaries was discussed. TVA indicated that I their fuel load system boundaries were mere limiting than the bourdary required i by Technical Specifications (TS). To this end, TVA stated that redundant i trains will be operable, even though only one train is required by TS in the  !

refuel mode, in order to minimi:e the impact of having to schedule a system  :

out-of-service for werk. It is TVA's position that no additional TS or j

exemptions will be required for fuel load. For those programs where corrective [

q actions have not been completed, an engineering and 50.59 analysis will be 1

perfonned as part of the SPOC process. Post fuel load work will be controlled  ;

using systen train nutages, i I

1 i TVA's schedule shows post fuel load work encompassing approximately four to .

4 six months. The majority of the work is for seismic hangers, ductwork and -

l-supports, and electrical cables. TVA believes that scheduling and controlling this work under the TS will make the operators more accountable for the plant.

J Preventive maintenance (unless an engineering evaluation justifies deferral) 1 j and surveillance instructions will be up to date before a system can be j returned to service. TVA management stated that systems will not be permitted to remain inoperable for long periods of time.  !

Following a brief NRC staff caucus, Fr. Partlew, OSP Office Director, informed  ;

TVA that we will agree with their plan to load fuel subject to the following I provisions. TVA must docket a description of its plans (as well as a response l to the staff's July 27, 1988 letter) including a complete list of accidents ,

considered for fuel load. All deferred work is to be defined, and its impact  ;

assessed. The program and systen evaluations, as well as system boundary definitions and outstanding work within those boundaries, for return to service  ;

] '

must be reviewed by an independent party and the results of their review j docketed. This review should assess the assumptions and conclusions of the l

safety evaluation to support TS compliance. The staff will discuss TVA's plans with its lawyers to confirn TVA's ascertion that no TS changes or ,

exemptions are required. Also TVA was informed that our inspection activities will ensure strict compliance with TS. In addition, TVA should  :

identify milestones for significant activities betwaen refueling and

! criticality. And finally TVA was informed that their Systematic Assessment ,

i of Licensee Performance (SALP) period will begin with fuel load.
