Program Health
"* Historical review
"* Two assessments completed
"* Designated BWRVIP Committee representatives
"* BWRVIP is a stand-alone program
"* CNS meets the BWRVIP Program Implementation Guide (BWRVIP-94)
INPO Assessment
- Performed July 2002
- INPO Team Leader
+ Five Industry Peers
- Results include Beneficial Practices and Recommendations
- No significant issues identified
INPO Assessment - Beneficial Practices
"* Inspection Assessment - An extensive and critical self assessment was performed on the vessel and internals program and inspection activities.
"* Core Plate Analysis - The analysis of the core plate shows that we can continue operation through the Spring 2006 outage and is based on conservative assumptions.
"* BWRVIP System Health Meeting - An effective tool for sharing information, focusing resources, and aligning individuals on vessel and internals issues. The meetings will help ensure important information is communicated as the program develops with changing BWRVIP guidelines.
INPO Assessment - Recommendations
"* Maintain Management Oversight
"* Prepare for Core Shroud Re-Inspection
"° Develop Core Spray Repair Contingencies
"* Maintain Oversight of Vendor Activities
"* Improve Program and Inspection Documentation
"* Pursue Hydrogen Injection System Operation
"* Develop Long-term Mitigation Strategy
"* Improve Operations Procedures and Training
Spring 2003 Inspections BWRVIP-18 Core Spray
- Reinspection of Core Spray piping flaws (UT)
- Examine the junction box top and bottom surfaces (EVT-1)

Future Actions Implement Hydrogen Injection
- Scheduled for December 2002 BWRVIP-76 Core Shroud
- Reexamine Core Shroud Fall 2004 BWRVIP-25 Core Plate
- Plant specific analysis completed
- Inspection not required until Spring 2006
