SUBJECT:
SYSTEHATIC ASSESSHENT OF LICENSEE PERFORHANCE (SALP)
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-335/95-99; 50-389/95-99)
Dear Hr. Goldberg:
The Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) for the period January 2,
1994 through January 6,
1996, has been completed for St. Lucie.
The results of the assessment are documented in the enclosed SALP report which will be discussed with you at a public meeting at the St. Lucie Site on February 22, 1996, at 1:00 pm.
At the meeting, you should be prepared to discuss our assessment and any initiatives that address our concerns and challenges identified in the SALP report.
Overall the performance of the St. Lucie Plant was assessed as good over the performance period.
The overall performance was mixed with the response to transient events being very good but routine activities performed at a
somewhat lower level of performance.
The engineering and plant support functional areas sustained the previously assessed ratings of superior performance, but there is a disturbing performance trend in the functional areas of operations and maintenance.
Performance declined significantly in these areas from superior ratings that had been sustained over several past performance periods to a level of good performance.
There is a concern that the long period of superior performance may have led to a pervasive complacent environment that is tolerant of equipment issues and a lack of discipline in adhering to procedures.
There is evidence that the decline in human performance may be aggravated by inadequacies in the quality of the procedures themselves.
Another contributor appears to be acceptance of a lower standard of performance by a significant part of the organization.
A further concern is the degree to which the performance declined before it was detected by the organization's self-assessment programs.
There is a clear indication that these programs were not effective in identifying the trends early.
It is too early to evaluate the effectiveness of the extensive corrective actions that were instituted in the very late part of the assessment period, but it is clear they must be aggressively pursued to terminate the negative trend in performance.
