. . INTRODUCTION A formal licensee performance assessment program has been _ implemented in accordance with the commitments of Task I.B.2 of NUREG-0660, Volume 1, "NRC Action Plan Developed as a Result of the TMI-2 Accident" This program, the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) is applicable to all power reactors with operating licenses or construction permits (herein after referred to as licensees). The SALP program is an integrated NRC staff effort to collect available observations of licensee performance on an >
annual basis and evaluate performance based on these observations. - Positive and negative attributes of licensee performance are considered. Emphasis is placed upon understanding the reasons for a licensee's performance in important functional areas, and sharing this understanding with the license The SALP process is oriented toward furthering NRC's under-standing of the manner in which: (1) the licensee directs, guides, and provides resources for assuring plant safety; and (2) such resources are used and applie The integrated SALP assessment is intended to be sufficiently diagnostic to provide meaningful guidance to the license The SALP program supplements the normal regulatory processes used to ensure compliance with NRC rules and regulation II. CRITERIA Licensee performance is assessed in selected functional areas depending on whether the facility has been in the construction, preoperational, or operating phase during the SALP review period. Functional areas encompass-the spectrum of regulatory programs and represent significant nuclear safety and environmental activities. Certain functional areas may not be assessed because of little or no licensee activities in these areas, or lack of meaningful NRC observation One or more of the following evaluation criteria were used to assess each functional area:
. Management involvement in assuring quality
. Approach to the resolution of technical issues from a safety standpoint
. Responsiveness to NRC initiatives
. Enforcement history Reporting and analysis of reportable events
. Staffir.g (including management)
. Training effectiveness and qualification The SALP Board has categorized functional area performance at one of three performance levels. These levels are defined as follows:
Category 1: Reduced NRC attention may be appropriat Licensee management attention and involvement are aggressive and oriented toward nuclear safety; licensee resources are ample and effectively used such that a high level of performance with respect to operational safety or construction is being achieve _ _ _ _ _ _
- - ..- . -. .- - --
1 . .
e *
,
Category 2: NRC attention should be maintained at normal level Licensee management attention and involvement are evident and are concerned with nuclear safety; licensee resources are adequate and are reasonably effective such that satisfactory performance with respect to
- operational safety or construction is being achieve Category 3
- Both NRC and licensee attention should be increased.
i Licensee management attention or involvement is acceptable and considers nuclear safety,. but weaknesses are evident; licensee resources appear to be strained or not effectively used such that
"
minimally satisfactory performance with respect to operational safety or construction is being achieved.
. The functional area being evaluated may have some attributes that would
- place the evaluation in Category 1, and others that would place it in either Category 2 or 3. The final rating for each functional area is a composite
- of the attributes tempered with the judgement of NRC management as to the significance of individual item III. SUMMARY OF RESULTS i
i Overall Utility Evaluation The Farley facilities are well managed and well supported by the corporate structure. No significant weaknesses have been identifie The licensee has been responsive to NRC concerns, and the licensee's
,
organization appears safety oriented. Middle and upper level manage-ment capabilities (including support from Southern Company Services, Inc.) are very strong area . Overall Facility Evaluation
!' Strengths were noted in the critical areas of plant operations, radiation protection, radioactive waste management, transportation, environmental protection and quality assuranc No significant weak-nesses were noted.

on Unit Two violations were -identified in this area as follows:
(1) Severity Level V violation for failing to follow established shift turn-over procedures by not turning over significant deficiencies to the oncoming shif (2) Deficiency for failing to. follow established procedures-by not completing corrections, as required, to surveil-lance test procedure These violations appear to be isolated and do not indicate an adverse trend of licensee performance in the are The licensee's knowledge of regulations, guides, standards and generic issues has been good. Additionally, the utility has been strict in its interpretation of these guide Licensee technical competence appears . excellent, especially in the senior nuclear management area. They .are well prepared at meetings with the NRC, their staff generally being able to make immediate commitments or state the utility's position in a given are The . licensee has a positive nuclear safety attitude and has had no significant administrative, management control, or material problems. The material or equipment problems that have been identified were minor and non-repetitive in nature and were dealt with in a timely manne There were no l Severity Level I, _ II or III violations, and only a few
- violations of lesser severity level. Of these, none were i assessed as evidence of a programmatic breakdow Conclusion - Category 1 Board Comments The board concurs with the ratin .

Three inspections have been performed during the evaluation period by resident inspector Two- inspections were per-i formed on Unit I and one inspection was performed on Unit-2
. Region based inspectors also had findings in this area. .The
violations are r.atagorized as follows:
(1) Severity Level V violation for deviating from plant procedures without prior documentation and approva (2) Severity Level V violation for failure to follow established procedures in processing maintenance work requests.
'
(3) Severity Level V violation for inadequate test pro-1 cedures which did not identify the cross-tied service J
water lube and cooling water piping.
