AFFIDAVIT OF DAVID R. GREEN IN SUPPORT OF NRC STAFF MOTION FOR

SUMMARY

DISPOSITION OF ISSUE NO. 9 David R. Green, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:

1. I, David R. Green, am Senior Project Engineer, Nuclear Engineering Department, The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company ("CEI"). My business address is 10 Center Road, Perry, OH 44081. A summary of my professional qualifications and experience is attached hereto as Exhibit "A." I have personal knowledge of the matters set forth herein and believe them to be true and correct.

2. CEI is in the process of developing the surveillance and maintenance program for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant based on the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.33 (Rev. 2). The program will be completed prior to fuel loading of Unit 1. The 8302100213 830200 PDR ADOCK 05000440 0 PDR

program will have applicability for all phases of Perry opera-tions. One function of the program will be to detect equipment degradation, including degradation to polymeric materials from radiation. Although the program is still in the developmental stage, it will include six program elements which will provide the means for detecting polymeric degradation and the approach to failures by age-related or other mechanisms.

3. Corrective Maintenance: Corrective Maintenance, when required, is performed by trained personnel experienced in the tasks being performed and in accordance with approved procedures.

These maintenance actions are documented. Such documentation provides for a description of the failure and the corrective action taken. During work performance, job site component inspections are performed by the technicians and various levels of supervision. These inspections inherently include detection of component degradation which may be due to wear and/or in-service aging. Corrective maintenance, when performed in recur-ring situations on like or similar equipment, identifies component or component part performance trends. Maintenance personnel l

identify and correct such deficiencies.

4. Preventive Maintenance: Preventive Maintenarre scheduled and performed on equipment and instrumentation identifies regular activities, such as lubrication of bearings, to extend component life and ensure performance of the component's function. Proce-dures for the Preventive Maintenance Program are developed taking

. +

t l'

into account e^,.ipment manufacturers' recommendations and operating experience. Pherover applicable, preventive mainten-ance procedures specify the nature of the specific post-main-tenance testing requirements and acceptance criteria. These procedures are periodically-reviewed and updated to incorporate i

new and additional information obtained from the manufacturers,

. experience in plant operations, licensee event reports, NRC

circulars and bulletins, and from equipment qualification tests.

The preventive maintenance activities are documented and include descriptions of abnormalities noted and corrective actions taken.

5. Periodic Performance Testing: Periodic performance testing is scheduled and performed on a recurring basis. These l tests are performed to monitor system and/or component (e .g . ,

RHR System, valve operator) operation, and determine unacceptable component degradation. Results of these tests are evaluated; and, where necessary, corrective maintenance activities are i

l initiated to ensure continued satisfactory equipment operability.

6. Surveillance Program: Plant Surveillance Programs identify the monitoring activities to be performed. Surveillance

! is geared at a minimum to monitor safety-related equipment and equipment inaccessible for monitoring during normal plant opera-tion. These scheduled tasks on a particular component are to monitor and record component performance. This information is j used to schedule and perform corrective actions prior to failure.

, o

7. Manufacturer, Utility, NRC Communications: Informa-i' tion is received from these and other sources on a routine basis concerning existing or potential problems and/or failures of components or component parts. This information is reviewed and integrated into the existing plant maintenance programs as applicable. Through this effort, generic component deficiencies can be identified and corrected, thus minimizing the potential i

for equipment-failures.

8. Operational and Performance Parameters-Monitoring and Evaluation: Operations Personnel routinely monitor plant, system and component operation and performance. When equipment per-formance degradation is noted, operational parameters are moni-tored and evaluated to identify equipment performance problems.

This not only applies to system and component performance, but to the monitoring instrumentation used to verify the various equipments' performance. This review and analysis is used to b

detect causes of component performance degradation and correct such deficiencies prior to failure.

9. Records Management: In addition to these program elements, the CEI surveillance and maintenance program will be subject to Records Management, Document Control and Plant Program Administration and Technical Procedures. This ensures that the accuracy, quality assurance activities, and procedure complete-ness checks in addition to documentation and results review activities are performed. The documentation activities include:

1 Doctmentation by approved procedures; Work performance sign-offs; .

Quality assurance sign-offs Periodic procedure reviews; i

Maintenance work completion review and signatures; Records storage ensuring retrievability; and l Follow-up action performance verification.

I Documentation review activities of the existing maintenance programs and practices are designed to ensure that they are current and accurate.

10. The CEI surveillance and maintenance program thus includes features that enable identification of equipment I

degradation and the approach to failures whether caused by wear mechanisms, aging mechanisms or other mechanisms. Addi-tionally, equipment / component failures are routinely evaluated

l. by various levels of maintenance personnel including management.

l These evaluations are performed based on the experienced judg-l l ments of the various personnel involved, particularly maintenance l

l technicians and foremen who are trained, experienced and i

familiar with the equipment. These failure evaluations provide for additional defense against the potential for; further failures. The culmination of these activities, when performed by experienced personnel sensitive to component performance degradation and monitoring, helps minimize potential for failures, 1 nv-ck/ i DAVID R.
