Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REPORT NO:
50-261/88-29.
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) has been completed
for your H. B. Robinson facility. The facility was evaluated for the period
July 1, 1987 - October 31, 1988.
The results of the evaluation are documented
in the enclosed Interim SALP Report. This report will be discussed with you at
a public meeting to be held at the Robinson Visitor Center on January 24, 1989,
at 10:30 a.m.
The performance of your Robinson facility was evaluated in the functional
areas of plant operations, radiological controls, maintenance/surveillance,
security, engineering/technical support, and safety
assessment/quality verification.
Overall performance of your Robinson facility was satisfactory during this
assessment period.
Although the functional areas evaluated during this
assessment period are not identical to those in the previous period, a close
correlation can be made for identifying changes in performance. The rating for
- one functional area increased in performance from the previous assessment
period.
Performance in the area of operations remained satisfactory.
The number of
trips from low power or shutdown conditions was significantly lower than the
last SALP period; but, the number of trips from higher power was about the
same.
Although improvements
have been noted in the overall radiological control
program over the last several assessment periods, the collective radiation dose
continues to be high.
Accordingly, we are concerned about your past efforts
and future plans to resolve this problem.

In the maintenance/surveillance area, there continues to be a high htbmber of
failures of balance-of-plant (BOP)
systems which led to a high number of
challenges to safety systems.
Management should continue the ongoing efforts
to reduce corrective maintenance through an increase in preventive maintenance,
and expand these efforts to encompass BOP systems.
Regarding the area of emergency preparedness, the licensee demonstrated that
the essential elements of emergency response could be implemented.
However,
several weaknesses were identified during the assessment period, including the
identification and reporting of events requiring declaration of an unusual
event.
With respect to security, the licensee continued to demonstrate the ability to
implement and manage an effective security program. This sustained performance
is attributed to security management's continued awareness and participation in
related security force activities.
The engineering technical support functional area improved from the last
evaluation period; however,
it
was noted. that the system engineering program
was strained due to the significant number of systems assigned to each
engineer. Accordingly, we concur in your efforts to increase the effectiveness
- of the system engineering group. In addition, we support the initiative and
efforts put forth on the Design Basis Documentation program.
The safety assessment/quality verification area revealed that management showed
a strong commitment to safety once problems were clearly identified as
requiring significant corrective actions. Notwithstanding, site management was
slow to recognize the full extent of these problems and initiate corrective
actions.
Increased emphasis is needed to improve the front end of the
corrective action process.
Any comments you have concerning our evaluation of the performance of your
Robinson facility should be submitted to this office within 30 days following
the date of our meeting. These comments will be considered in development of
the Final SALP Report.
Your comments and a summary of our meeting will be.
issued as an appendix to the Final SALP Report.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to
discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
(Original signed by Al Gibson)
