Docket No. 50-206, 361, 362
Southern California Edison Company
P. 0. Box 800
2244 Walnut Grove Avenue
Rosemead, California 92770
Attention: Mr. Kenneth P. Baskin, Vice President
Nuclear Engineering, Safety, and Licensing
Gentlemen:
Subject: Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP)
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board has
completed its periodic evaluation of the performance of your San Onofre Nuclear
Generating Station during the period October 1, 1987 through September 30,
1988.
The performance of San Onofre was evaluated in the functional areas of plant
operations, radiological controls, maintenance/surveillance, emergency
preparedness, security, engineering/technical support, and safety
assessment/quality verification. The criteria used in conducting this
assessment and the SALP Board's evaluation of your performance in these
functional areas are contained in the enclosed SALP report.
Based upon discussions with your staff, a management meeting to discuss the
results of the SALP Board's assessment has been scheduled for December 13,
1988, at your Rosemead offices. Arrangements for the management meeting will
be discussed further with your staff in the near future.
Overall, the SALP Board found your performance to be acceptable and directed
toward safe facility operation. Good performance was noted to have continued
in the Plant Operations area; and Radiological Controls, Emergency Preparedness,
and Security were also perceived as areas of strength. However, several
concerns were identified by the NRC during this assessment period. The Board
found that there was a need to improve the involvement of management in
developing a self-critical attitude at all levels of your organization. This
need was common to several functional areas, and most pronounced in the areas
of engineering and safety assessment.
-
Engineering/Technical Support -
insufficient understanding of plant
design, inadequate control of aesign processes, and discrepancies in the
design data base.
-
Safety Assessment/Quality Verification - insufficient aggressiveness of
quality groups in identifying developing plant problems, inadequate safety
reviews, improper reportability determinations, and inadequately supported
amendment requests.

Actions were initiated late in the assessment period to start improvements,
but these actions are still in the formative stages.
A management summary of this assessment is provided in Section 11 of the
enclosed report. Perceived strengths and weaknesses and Board recommenda
tions are discussed in Section IV, Performance Analysis.
You are requested to provide to this office, within 30 days after our manage
ment meeting, a written response which addresses the two functional areas
assessed by the SALP Board as Category 3. This response should describe
actions which you have taken or plan to take to provide improved performance in
these functional areas. Actions described in previous correspondence may be
included by reference if appropriate. Your response may also include comments
on or amplification of the SALP report in other areas, as appropriate.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter, the enclosed SALP
report, and your response will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
The NRC's Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data performed an
assessment of licensee event reports submitted for San Onofre. This assess
ment was provided as an input to the SALP process; a copy is therefore provided
as Attachment 1 to the enclosed report.
The response requested by this letter is not subject to the clearance proce
dures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
Should you have any questions concerning the SALP report, we will be pleased to.
discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
J. B. Martin
Regional Administrator
