On September 12, the NRC concluded the AE inspection with a public exit meeting. Following this meeting, Cook Nuclear Plant committed to addressing and resolving seven (7) specific issues identified during the inspection prior to restart of the units. It was believed that these seven issues could be resolved within a few weeks. Subsequent to our letter to the NRC committing to these actions, the NRC issued a confirmatory action letter (CAL) identifying their approval would be required prior to restarting the units. The NRC CAL also identified two additional actions to be taken as a condition for restarting the units.

The unit 2 reactor was scheduled for a refueling to begin in late September, 1997.
The unit 2 core was within two weeks of normal burn up window at the time of the unscheduled shut down. Our objective was to resolve the CAL items, and restart unit 2 for the remaining two weeks of fuel burn up, then commence the refueling outage.
The unit 2 core was within two weeks ofnormal burn up window at the time ofthe unscheduled shut down. Our objective was to resolve the CALitems, and restart unit 2 forthe remaining two weeks offuel burn up, then commence the refueling outage.
Over the next several weeks, it became apparent that a restart would not be achievable in the near term, and a decision was made to begin the unit 2 refueling outage and its scheduled work on October 20, 1997. In parallel with the outage our organization worked through the many AE inspection/CAL issues. It".     'ork, appeared that a January 1998 restart of both units would be feasible.

During the time period of January - February 1998, the Cook Nuclear Plant senior management team had several meetings with the NRC, and the CAL issues were nearing resolution. It was during this time period that several new issues arose, concerning or relating to our containment systems that would require significant resources and focus to reconcile.
'ork, our organization worked through the many AE inspection/CAL issues.
Given the significant period that both units had been shut down up to this point, and the uncertainty for a near-term start up date, it was decided that the scope of both units'utages needed to be re-evaluated, and a more rigorous assessment of plant readiness was required prior to any restart These steps are necessary in order to achieve the objectives described in Section 1.1.

4.0 Restart Readiness Assessment The restart readiness assessment is an integrated line management assessment that assists station management in determining the readiness to initiate startup and achieve safe, reliable power operation through the next operating cycle. The restart readiness assessment process is outlined in attachment E. This form of assessment is one element of a comprehensive plant assessment program that is the foundation of our continuous improvement philosophy. Implementation of this action is consistent with the experience and lessons learned of other nuclear utilities. The restart readiness assessment is being implemented at Cook Nuclear Plant based on lessons leained and willbe captured such that this process can be implemented on a routine basis in the future.
The restart work scope performance process is outlined in attachment E.
The restart readiness assessment for restart willverify the completion of all defined restart work and the affirmation of system, department and restart readiness for startup and power operations. Results of the assessment and affirmation of readiness willbe presented to the ROC by the responsible system engineer, functional area manager and operations shift supervisor. Following acceptance by the ROC, the site vice president will convene an SMRT meeting to review these affirmations and verify compliance with regulatory commitments and any other applicable criteria. The site vice president will recommend start up of the units based on this review, and assurance regarding the readiness of the station to initiate startup and safely, reliably operate through the next operating cycle.
4.0 Restart Readiness Assessment The restart readiness assessment is an integrated line management assessment that assists station management in determining the readiness to initiate startup and achieve safe, reliable power operation through the next operating cycle. The restart readiness assessment process is outlined in attachment E. This form ofassessment is one element ofa comprehensive plant assessment program that is the foundation ofour continuous improvement philosophy. Implementation ofthis action is consistent with the experience and lessons learned ofother nuclear utilities. The restart readiness assessment is being implemented at Cook Nuclear Plant based on lessons leained and willbe captured such that this process can be implemented on a routine basis in the future.
Following is a summiny     of the key elements of the piogram.
The restart readiness assessment for restart willverify the completion ofall defined restart work and the affirmation ofsystem, department and restart readiness for startup and power operations.
Results ofthe assessment and affirmation ofreadiness willbe presented to the ROC by the responsible system engineer, functional area manager and operations shift supervisor. Following acceptance by the ROC, the site vice president willconvene an SMRT meeting to review these affirmations and verify compliance withregulatory commitments and any other applicable criteria.

1.0 Introduction and Overview 1.1 Purpose The Cook Nuclear Plant Restart Plan describes the activities and controls that will be implemented to ensure the facility is ready to safely start up and operate in an event free manner. To provide us with the assurance that this can be accomplished we must determine that our people, plant and programs are ready to meet this challenge.

The plan willassess these areas and identify any needed action to ensure we can safely startup and operate reliably in an event free manner.

The plan willassess the following:

~

People Have we adequately prepared our people such that they are trained on the changes in our programs and procedures and understand the issues involved in restarting and operating the plant? Are the functional areas staffed, organized and functioning at a level to support safe startup and reliable operation in an event free manner?

~

Programs Have our programs and procedures been adjusted to include the lessons learned?

Are they adequate to allow us to return to operation and prevent future nonconforming conditions?

~

Plant Are our materiel condition, configurations, restart readiness ofsystems and ability to meet design function while complying with applicable regulations adequate to allow us to return to service?

This plan provides a map to conduct the assessments needed to assure ourselves that we are ready to restart.

The actions and activities needed to do this and any corrective actions 'willbe performed in accordance with approved procedures.

1.2 Background

During the July - September, 1997, time&arne, the NRC conducted an architect engineering inspection at Cook Nuclear Plant The AE inspection focused primarily on two safety systems, ECCS and CCW. Six weeks into the AE inspection, a question surfaced regarding our abilityto sustain long-term cooling of the core during a design basis accident.

As a conservative measure, both units were shut down on September 9 and cooled to cold shut down until this question could be properly answered.

II 0

On September 12, the NRC concluded the AE inspection with a public exit meeting. Following this meeting, Cook Nuclear Plant committed to addressing and resolving seven (7) specific issues identified during the inspection prior to restart of the units. It was believed that these seven issues could be resolved within a few weeks.

Subsequent to our letter to the NRC committing to these actions, the NRC issued a confirmatory action letter (CAL)identifying their approval would be required prior to restarting the units. The NRC CAL also identified two additional actions to be taken as a condition for restarting the units.

The unit 2 reactor was scheduled for a refueling to begin in late September, 1997.

The unit 2 core was within two weeks ofnormal burn up window at the time ofthe unscheduled shut down. Our objective was to resolve the CALitems, and restart unit 2 forthe remaining two weeks offuel burn up, then commence the refueling outage.

Over the next several weeks, it became apparent that a restart would not be achievable in the near term, and a decision was made to begin the unit 2 refueling outage and its scheduled work on October 20, 1997. In parallel with the outage

'ork, our organization worked through the many AE inspection/CAL issues.

It".

appeared that a January 1998 restart ofboth units would be feasible.

During the time period ofJanuary - February 1998, the Cook Nuclear Plant senior management team had several meetings with the NRC, and the CAL issues were nearing resolution. Itwas during this time period that several new issues arose, concerning or relating to our containment systems that would require significant resources and focus to reconcile.

Given the significant period that both units had been shut down up to this point, and the uncertainty for a near-term start up date, itwas decided that the scope ofboth units'utages needed to be re-evaluated, and a more rigorous assessment ofplant readiness was required prior to any restart These steps are necessary in order to achieve the objectives described in Section 1.1. The key factors that led to this decision are:

Design basis concerns and equipment performance and testing issues which have come to light in recent months raised the concern that additional hardware and non-hardware activities may need to be completed during this extended shut down.

Confirmation is required that procedure inadequacies or equipment deficiencies that may challenge plant operators during normal, abnormal, or emergency conditions have been adequately identified and addressed.

Lessons learned from other nuclear utilities in the implementation ofan integrated assessment ofreadiness to restart followingan extended shutdown

period are being adopted and applied to Cook Nuclear Plant on a pilot basis during this outage.

1.3 Roles and Responsibilities Roles and responsibilities for the execution ofthis plan are as follows:

1.3.1 AllNuclear Generation Employees Responsible for supporting the restart activities by focusing on safe operations and continuous improvement. Allemployees are obligated to raise any and all quality concerns to management's action through the corrective action program.

ROC Approve Restart Work Scope All restart scope additions will be approved by the Restart Oversight Committee (ROC).

2.1,"

Restart Manager Perform Restart Work Following determination ofthe restart work scope by the ROC, the restart manager is responsible for coordinating the planning, scheduling and completion ofthe work.

3.1 ROC, PNSRC

. Perform Final Review Recommend Startup Results of the restart assessment will be presented to the Restart Oversight Committee (ROC) with an affirmation by lhe responsible system engineer or engineering

manager, and the functional area superintendent of the readiness of the system-or organization to support plant startup and safe, reliable power operations.

4.1 SMRT Recommend Restart Following presentation and acceptance of the assessment results by the ROC, the Site Vice President will convene the SMRT to perform an integrated review of the affirmations, verify compliance with regulatory commitments and any other special criteria that may impact the initiationofstartup activities.

4.2 Exec Vice Pres Authorize Restart Based on the results ofthis review, the Executive Vice President Nuclear Generation willauthorize startup and power ascension.

5.1 ops Startup and Power Ascension Startup and power ascension followingthe completion ofstartup work willfollowa deliberate and controlled approach that ensures operational and personnel safety. The normal startup process defined in Cook Nuclear Plant procedures willbe supplemented with appropriate management oversight and support from engineering and maintenance orgaruzation such that issues or concerns are promptly addressed and the startup can be accomplished in a safe, controlled manner.

2.0 Restart %'ork Scope Determination 2.1 Restart Work Scope Determination Process The restart work scope is being defined through a determination process driven by the ROC consistent with their charter.

Outstanding work items and selected programmatic issues are reviewed against defined criteria to determine which items should be included in the restart scope.

System engineers have the largest role in this process, but there is also considerable involvement from other organizations including operations, design engineering, and maintenance.

The restart work scope determination process is outlined in attachment E.

2.2 Plant System Review Plant systems are reviewed by the system engineer using the plant system review instructions with results and recommendations presented to the ROC.

4 The plant system review process consists offour primary elements as described.,

below.

2.2.1 Selection ofPlant Systems Plant systems have been selected for a detailed review and affirmation based on the historical performance and risk significance ofthe system.

This review willbe performed in accordance with the plant system readiness review instructions.

Results ofthe assessment ofselected systems willbe presented firstto the SERB and, upon approval, to the ROC with appropriate recommendations for additional actions to be performed after restart. The systems are listed in attachment D.

The remaining systems willbe assessed and evaluated as part ofthe line responsibility ofthe engineering organization through the use ofthe SERB.

Issues that affect restart scope on these systems willbe presented to the ROC on a case basis.

2.2.2 Restart Work Scope Additions The restart work scope addition for plant systems is focused on those items not already included in the restart work scope.

Items already scheduled for completion prior to restart are not evaluated against the criteria provided in attachment C unless there is a proposal to delete them. The goal ofthe system review and work scope addition process is to define the work

'ecessary for completion priorto restart such that the system is capable of supporting safe and reliable power operation. This review willinclude the following:

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d) the magnitude, significance and risk ofitems which willbe resolved after restart should be defined and evaluated; assurance that recurring problems on the system that could acct safe and reliable operations are being fixed; assurance that any design basis and licensing issues on the system are being addressed within a time frame that is appropriate for the issue; and assurance that operators willnot be unnecessarily challenged in the operation ofthe system during normal, abnormal; or emergency conditions.

Based on the review ofopen work items against the criteria presented in attachment C, the system engineer is to provide recommendations for the restart scope changes for the selected systems in attachment D to the SERB and upon approval to the ROC. Items recommended for addition to the restart scope for remaining plant systems willbe handled on an item specific basis by the ROC followingan initialreview by line management It should be noted that itwas not the intent ofthis program to resolve all design basis issues.

We are committed to a long range program to accomplish this resolution.

2.2.3 Monitoring Restart Work, Addressing Emergent Issues and Performing a More Detailed Assessment ofSystem Readiness System engineering is to monitor the progress ofwork on assigned system and address emergent issues as required. Any major restart scope impacts defined by emergent issues should be brought to the ROC followingline management review. Allother emergent issues are assessed daily by the engineering managers.

Also, the system engineer is to use this period to complete the assessment and evaluation ofsystem readiness in preparation forthe final system readiness review and affirmation ofreadiness for restart 2.2.4 Final System Readiness Review and ABumation This aspect ofthe system readiness review pmcess is summarized in section 4.1. Although it is not expected that any significant restart work scope issues willbe identified during this final review, ifany are identified, they are to be brought to the immediate attention ofthe ROC (followingline management review).

10

2.3 Redefined Restart Work Scope The restart work scope may be redefined based on the evaluation process described above. Decisions made by the ROC regarding the restart work scope are documented in meeting minutes and work item status is tracked.

3.0 Restart Work Scope Performance 3.1 Work Scope Performance Following determination ofthe restart work scope by the ROC, the restart manager is responsible for coordinating the planning, scheduling and completion ofthe work, including the implementation ofprogrammatic changes.

The restart work scope performance process is outlined in attachment E.

4.0 Restart Readiness Assessment The restart readiness assessment is an integrated line management assessment that assists station management in determining the readiness to initiate startup and achieve safe, reliable power operation through the next operating cycle. The restart readiness assessment process is outlined in attachment E. This form ofassessment is one element ofa comprehensive plant assessment program that is the foundation ofour continuous improvement philosophy. Implementation ofthis action is consistent with the experience and lessons learned ofother nuclear utilities. The restart readiness assessment is being implemented at Cook Nuclear Plant based on lessons leained and willbe captured such that this process can be implemented on a routine basis in the future.

The restart readiness assessment for restart willverify the completion ofall defined restart work and the affirmation ofsystem, department and restart readiness for startup and power operations.

Results ofthe assessment and affirmation ofreadiness willbe presented to the ROC by the responsible system engineer, functional area manager and operations shift supervisor. Following acceptance by the ROC, the site vice president willconvene an SMRT meeting to review these affirmations and verify compliance withregulatory commitments and any other applicable criteria. The site vice president willrecommend start up ofthe units based on this review, and assurance regarding the readiness ofthe station to initiate startup and safely, reliably operate through the next operating cycle.

Following is a summiny ofthe key elements ofthe piogram.

4.1 System Readiness r

System readiness affirmations by the system engineer are to confirm that plant systems meet functional design requirements, have been suitably tested and are ready to support safe and reliable startup and operation through the next cycle. This affirmation is based on the work completed as described in section 2.2, and is to 11

include a coordinated system walkdown ofthe system with operations and maintenance personnel on systems defined by the plant engineering manager.

Where necessary, compensatory actions for rescheduled work or other areas of performance risk are to be defined and addressed.

System readiness affirmations are to be presented by the system engineer to the SERB and upon its approval to the ROC for the systems identified in attachment D.

Affiimationofsystem readiness is documented with the signature ofthe system engineer and manager.

Affirmationof individual system readiness for the remaining plant systems willbe addressed as part ofthe system engineering line management responsibility and willbe one element ofthe functional area readiness evaluation.

4.2 Functional Area Readiness Functional area readiness by selected functional areas is an aftomation that the department is in an appropriate state ofreadiness to support startup and safe and reliable power operation through the next cycle. Functional area readiness will:

include items such as:

/

(a) adequacy ofstaffing levels, personnel experience and qualifications to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements and commitments; (b) completion ofpersonnel training on normal startup evaluations, power ascension requirements, industry operating experience including extended shutdown and unusual events at similar plants, emergency preparedness, changes in plant configuration, changes in plant operating and emergency procedures, and changes in key administrative procedures and processes; (c) resolution ofsignificant performance deficiencies and reduction of backlogs (coirective action, corrective maintenance etc. ) to manageable levels; and (d) establishment ofgoals and priorities for the continued improvement ofthe department including use ofcritical assessment methods.

Functional Area readiness willbe affirmed to the ROC by the followingfunctional areas:

4.3 Programmatic Readiness Programmatic readiness review willconfirm that programs are in place to support identification and correction ofproblems.

Programmatic issues identified during the unit shutdown have been evaluated and necessary corrective or preventive actions have been completed. Programs in place at the time ofunit start-up will ensure that the plant willbe operated in conformance with its design bases and in accordance with the AEP quality assurance program.

A/E programmatic issues potential bypass of50.59 safety evaluations 50.59 safety evaluation quality corrective action program improvements surveillance program assessment 4.4 Containment Readiness The containment readiness review willfocus on the abilityofthe containment system to meet the intended functional design requirements.

The critical points of the review willfocus on the system materiel condition, adequate surveillance testing, and the system configuration control.

5.0 Restart Authorization The restart authorization process is outlined in attachment E.

5.1 Restart Oversight Committee (ROC) Review and Approval The ROC willreview and accept the assessment a6irmations in 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. Arestart recommendation willbe made to the SMRT based on the results of the functional area assessments.

h 52 Senior Manager Review Team (SMRT) Review and Approval Upon review and acceptance ofthe assessment aQirmations in 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 by the ROC, the site vice president willconvene an SMRT meeting to perform an integrated review and approval.

5.3 Executive Vice President Restart Authorization Based on this review the executive vice president nuclear generation willprovide the authorization for restart and power ascension.

13

6.0 Startup and Power Ascension Startup and power ascension, followingthe completion ofthe restart'work willfollowa deliberate and controlled approach that ensures operational and personnel safety. The normal startup management team willbe augmented with a shift plant manager and shift engineering manager such that issues or concerns are promptly addressed and the status can be accomplished in a safe, controlled manner.

The startup and power ascension actions summarized in this section do not change or alter any requirements ofthe startup procedures defined above.

6.1 Management Oversight and Organizational Support The Cook Nuclear Plant management structure willbe supplemented with a shift plant manager and shift engineering manager to compliment the shift maintenance manager during the startup and power ascension phase, The responsibilities of these positions are as follows:

6.1.1 Shift Plant Manager The shift plant manager provides on-shift (24-hour) presence as a direct-representative ofthe plant manager and is responsible for maintaining an-overall perspective ofthe startup process. Ifnecessary, the shift plant manager is authorized to request operations to delay the startup, reduce power, or shutdown to make necessary repairs.

6.1.2 Shift Engineering Manager The shift engineering manager provides on-shift {24-hour) presence as a direct representative ofthe plant engineering manager and is responsible for maintaining an overall perspective ofengineering support ofthe startup process.

The shift engineering manager willcontrol on-shift engineering resources as necessary to support scheduled startup testing activities, resolve emergent operability issues, support maintenance and manage necessary reactor engineering test activities.

6.1.3 Shift Maintenance Manager The shift maintenance manager provides on-shift (24-hour) presence as a direct representative ofthe maintenance manager and is responsible for maintaining an overall perspective ofmaintenance support ofthe startup process.

The shift maintenance manager willcontrol on-shift maintenance resources as necessary to support scheduled startup testing activities, resolve emergent equipment issues, and support operations.

Level 2 Screening Not an immediate industrial or nuclear safety or operability issue.

These issues willbe considered for addition to the restart item list based on the review and recommendations of plant engineering, operations, and maintenance ifthe action:

l.

Eliminates an existing component failure, deficiency, or condition that could result in operation in, or entry to, an LCO action statement.

2.

Resolves existing deficiencies or conditions that:

a.

would result in failure or inability to perform a required surveillance test during the current outage or the followingoperating cycle in accordance with the plant technical specifications; b.

would increase the risk to operation for safety associated with performing a surveillance; or c.

would result in the failure to meet a license requirement or a restart commitment to an outside agency.

3:

Restores degraded critical components or conditions that could result in a plant transient, power reduction or shutdown.

20

V

4.

Resolves conditions that have resulted in repetitive safety system or equipment failures.

5.

Restor es licensing basis deficiencies to conforming conditions (extended programmatic reviews and scheduled corrective actions may be completed post-restart with the proper justification ofno safety impact, a satisfactory OPERABILITY determination, and appropriate regulatory communication).

6.

Corrects equipment with design basis deficiencies; i.e., deficiencies in safety-related or technical specification equipment not in conformance with design basis documents such as the FSAR (extended programmatic reviews and scheduled corrective actions may be completed post-restart withjustification ofno safety impact, a satisfactory OPERABILITYdetermination and appropriate regulatory communication).

7.

Corrects deficiencies in configuration management programs, processes, engineering analysis codes, or operating, maintenance, or test procedures that have a reasonable probability ofaffecting equipment OPERABILITY(documentation deficiencies, which have no safety impact, may be completed post-restart).

8.

Eliminates conditions that create a potential for personnel radiation exposure, radioactivity release, or efQuent discharge in excess oflimits.

9.

Reduces cumulative deficiencies, backlogs or conditions that, in the aggregate, are evaluated to have significant negative impact on safety, operability or reliable plant operation. (Not applicable to individual work items).
