SUBJECT:
SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP) OCONEE NUCLEAR
STATION (REPORT NOS. 50-269/96-99, 50-270/96-99, AND 50-287/96-99)
Dear Mr. Hampton:
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) has been
completed for your Oconee facility. The facility was evaluated for the period
of October 30, 1994, through May 4, 1996. The results of the evaluation are
documented in the enclosed SALP report. This report will be discussed with
you at a public meeting to be held at the Oconee site on June 27, 1996, at
1:00 p.m.
Oconee's performance improved markedly during this period in the functional
areas of engineering and operations, with sustained superior performance in
the area of plant support. This improvement was due in part to an aggressive
self-assessment and corrective action program, as well as the development of a
questioning attitude while raising standards on the part of operations and
engineering. You are encouraged to continue efforts already underway to
further improve operational focus and to strengthen operations' command and
control of the plant.
Performance in the functional area of maintenance remained good, with notable
improvement in some areas. However, key challenges in the areas of fuel
handling, human performance, and equipment failures will have to be
appropriately addressed before overall improvement can be realized.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
