The success of this program is that once approved, everyone follows the requirements.  It is paramount that everyone follow the same rules without deviation from them in order to be able to compare yourselves to the other plants.  INPO will be asking you to report your data and reference the BWROG and PWROG approved guideline.  If you deviate from that, I don't think that would be acceptable to INPO.  Certainly, I will tell you that some plants may have mistakenly interpreted some event differently, but we tried to control that on the BWR side by reviewing each others data and then making revisions/clarifications to the PI to ensure everyone understood what was meant in the guideline on that particular issue.   However, plants did not take exception to individual requirements in the PI because they disagreed with it.

Subject: [Pwrrm] PWROG Reactivity Management Performance Indicator

At Duke, we plan on implementing the proposed PWROG RM Performance Indicator and are working through our change management plan to do so by the end of the 1st quarter 2010.  Management has asked the question about who doesn’t plan on implementing this at their station or is anyone planning on implementing but taking specific exception to any aspect of it?

 

The intent of the question is not so much to allow someone to put up a bulls-eye on themselves as much as management, while in general agreement with the purpose and many of the details, doesn’t necessarily agree with some minor points of the directions being taken with the latest revision and wants to gauge how others are reacting.

 

I’ve provided feedback to senior management that if there are specific issues that they disagree with they need to take that feedback to INPO OPS organization who can then provide feedback or provide direction to the PWROG and BWROG representatives for action.

 

Thanks for your help!


Carl
