Attention: Mr. Harold B. Ray
Senior Vice President, Nuclear
Gentlemen:
Subject:
Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP)
The NRC SALP Board has completed its periodic assessment of licensed activities
associated with your San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station during the period
from February 1, 1990 through July 31, 1991.
The performance of San Onofre activities 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 assess
ment are contained in NRC Manual Chapter 0516, issued on September 28, 1990.
The SALP Board's assessment is provided in the enclosed Initial SALP Report.
The SALP Board found your overall performance to have been good, and in some
cases superior, and directed toward safe facility operation. Superior perform
ance was noted to have continued in the Radiological Controls, Emergency
Preparedness, and Security functional areas. Although some performance prob
lems were noted during the course of the SALP period, improving performance was
recognized during the latter portion in Plant Operations, Engineering/Technical
Support, and Safety Assessment/Quality Verification. Many of the improvement
programs instituted during the previous SALP period were observed to be taking
effect.
Several concerns were identified by the NRC during this assessment period.
Weaknesses were observed in the control of maintenance activities,
contributing to a decline in Maintenance/Surveillance to a Category 2 rating.
Weak engineering assessments of shorter term or emergent technical issues were
at times observed. Also, a more self-critical management approach and
additional attention to the implementation of established programs were at
times needed.
Based upon discussions with your staff, a management meeting to discuss the
results of the SALP Board's assessment has been scheduled for October 16, 1991
at the San Onofre site. Arrangements will be discussed with your staff in the
near future.

meeting.
