Docket No. 50-324
Mr. Roy A. Anderson
Vice President
Brunswick Steam Electric Plant
P.O. Box 10429
Southport, NC 28461
Dear Mr. Anderson:
SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT 50-324/93-201 BRUNSWICK STEAM ELECTRIC PLANT,
UNIT 2, OPERATIONAL READINESS ASSESSMENT TEAM INSPECTION
This letter transmits the report of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) Operational Readiness Assessment Team (ORAT) inspection, conducted from
March 29 through April 9, 1993, of activities authorized by NRC Operating
License No. DPR-62 for the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2.
The
inspection was conducted by the Special Inspection Branch of the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) and consisted of staff from NRR, Regions I,
II and V.
The ORAT performed an independent, in-depth assessment of the readiness of
management controls, programs, and personnel to support safe restart and
operation of the Unit 2 facility in the functional areas of facility
management, operations, maintenance, surveillance and testing, engineering and
technical support, and safety assessment and quality verification. The team's
findings were discussed with you and other members of your staff at the
i
conclusion of the inspection on April 9,1993.
i
i
The team concluded that your staff had demonstrated the ability to control
activities and safely operate Brunswick Steam Electric Plant, Unit 2, in
accordance with NRC requirements. The OPAT's findings regarding strengths and
weaknesses in the functional areas reviewed are discussed in the enclosed
report.
With regard to the areas of weakness, the ORAT identified four issues which
Carolina Power & Light company management indicated would receive the
necessary attention before restart. These issues were 1) performance of an
alternate safe shutdown drill, 2) backlog of maintenance procedure changes,
3) unauthorized operator aids, and 4) backlog of corrective maintenance. A
letter summarizing these areas of weakness was sent to you on April 16, 1993.
Region II verified that appropriate corrective action was taken before
restart. Another weakness, loss of control over some work activities, was
also addressed by your managers.
j
No response to this letter is required. The NRC Region II office will issue
l
any enforcement action that may result from this inspection.
