Dear Mr. Milhoan:
23, 1993, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
By letter dated July transmitted the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Report This for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) to TU Electric.
report documented the staff's assessment of the performance of TU E ectric with regard to CPSES during the period February 3, 1992, through May 29, 1993.
,
The staff concluded that TU Electric's safety performance at Comanene Peak The staff found was 9000 and improvement was noted in certain programs.
noteworthy the concurrent completion of preoperational testing on Unit 2 while undertaking a refueling outage on Unit 1.
Also noteworthy was the cont'.nued strong performance in the areas of Emergency Preparedness and i
Engineering / Technical Support, which reflected strong management involvement and safety perspective.
,
A decline in performance was noted in some functional areas and ongoing problems were noted in others.
Strong management support for plant activities was evident; however, weaknesses in the implementation of certain programs and a failure at times to ensure that performance expectations were noted. The staff recommended the following actions:
1) continue to
'
emphasize the implementation of the corrective actions initiated to enhance personnel performance and further reduce personnel errors in the areas of l
operations and surveillance testing, 2) provide increased management oversight of the contractor guard force, and 3) strengthen the l
implementation of the corrective action process and the response to self-identified issues.

The staff also recommended continued sensitivity to problems that may l
We surface as we. fully integrate the activities of two operating units.
'
should assure ourselves that the transition to an operating plant
environment is successfully achieved and ensure appropriate engineering l
'
support of plant operations.
TU Electric has carefully reviewed and evaluated the information contained in the SALP Report and, as stated at the meeting of August 18, 1993, finds it to be accurate and agrees with the overall conclusions and TU Electric is initiating actions in reconnendations contained therein.
response to the recommendations and to effect improvements in the areas of weaknesses identified by the NRC in the SALP Report.
