WhyaretheNRCstandards beingignoredorwaivedinthesecases?Whatisthepotential risktoMichiganresidents?

OVERSIGHT PROCESSI'ORDCCOOINGDearMr.GrobeThetransition totherevisedreactoroversight processattheDCCooknuclearplantwasdiscussed onFebruary15,2000,atameetingatNRCheadquarters inRockville, Maryland.

Fortunately, thereseemstobeacompromise available Duringthepasttwoyears,thelicensee's RestartActionPlanandtheNRCstaff'sManualChapter0350processprovidedassurance thatDCCookUnit2canberestarted withadequatesafetymargins.It,wouldbereasonable toassume,therefore, thatalltheseassessments, evaluations, tests,reviews,andinspections resultedinperformance ineachperformance indicator categorybeingrestoredtotheGREENband.Ifnot,thelicensee's SystemReadiness ReviewsortheNRC'sinspections toclosetheconfirmatory actionletterwouldhaveflaggednon-GREEN performance.

Inotherwords,ifeitherthelicenseeortheNRCstaffhadanydoubtsthatperformance inanyperformance indicator categorywasnotGREEN,theplantwouldnotbereadyforrestart.Accepting thisassumption'allows everyperformance indicator intherevisedreactoroversight processtobeartificially settoGREENwhenDCCookUnit2entersMode2.Forexample,thescramperformance indicator couldassumethattherehavebeenzeroscramsinthepast7,000criticalhoursandthealertandWashington Office:1616PStreetNWSuite310oWashington DC20036-1495

Bysettingalloftheperformance indicators toGREEN,thelicenseewouldnothavetowastetheresources requiredtocollectandvalidatethehistorical data.Thelicenseewouldhavetoestablish thedatacollection andreporting infrastructure necessary toreporttheperformance indicators quarterly beginning attheendofthequarterinwhichDCCookUnit2entersMode2.ThisprocesswouldenabletheNRCstafftodemonstrate tothepublicthatitwasachieving thegoalofmaintaining safety.Beginning withthequarterinwhichtheplantrestarted, theperformance indicators wouldaccurately informthelicensee, theNRCstaff,andthepublichowtheplant'sperformance trendedrelativetoaninitial"cleanslate."Atthesametime,theNRCstaffcouldfocusresources onverifying thatDCCookUnit1isreadyforrestart.Thiscompromise approachhasitsfaults.Thelargestfaultisthatthestartingpointfortheperformance indicators isselectedarbitrarily andmaybenon-conservatively higherthanactualperformance.

Butactualperformance cannotbeprecisely determined forsomeoftheperformance indicators untiloneormorequartersaAerrestart.Thearbitrary startingpointonlycompromises safetywhentheactualperformance levelwouldbelowintheWHITEband,intheYELLOWband,orintheREDband.Theextensive effortsbythelicenseeandtheNRCstaffoverthepasttwoyearsprov'idereasontobelievethattheactualperformance inalloftheperformance indicator categories isGREENoratworstinthehighendoftheWHITEband.Theartificial startingpointstracktoactualperformance levelsatdifferent ratesfortheperformance indicators.
