Dear Mr. Tucker:

SUBJECT:

SPIP IMPLEMENTATION AUDIT AT THE OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION (TACS 68202, 68203, 68204)

Enclosed is an evaluation report on the Oconee Nuclear Station's implementation of the Babcock & Wilcox Owner's Group's Safety and Performance Improvement Program (SPIP). This evaluation is based on an NRC staff audit at Duke Power Company's (DPCO) Oconee Nuclear Station (ONS) during the week of February 12, 1990.

The audit of SPIP implementation was conducted in two phases: (1) a programmatic audit to evaluate the commitment and involvement of corporate management and the site organization in the SPIP, and the process for disposition of SPIP technical recommendations (TRs), and (2) an implementation audit to perform more detailed review of the implementation and disposition of individual SPIP TRs. The programmatic audit was completed in March 1989, and the results were transmitted to you in a letter dated August 28, 1989. This implementation audit completes Phase 2 of the SPIP.

During the implementation audit, the NRC staff reviewed the implementation and disposition of 18 TRs. Based on the review of these TRs, the staff found that DPCO had (1) adequately strengthened the TR disposition process and file deficiencies identified by the programmatic audit; (2) satisfactorily implemented the majority of the TRs and were in the process of satisfactorily implementing other TRs; (3) performed acceptable analyses to support actions taken with regard to TR determination; and (4) good communication channels between DPCO and ONS personnel.

Therefore, the NRC staff concludes that Duke Power Company and its Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3, have satisfactorily implemented the B&W Owner's Group Safety and Performance Improvement Program. This completes our efforts on TACs 68202, 68203, and 68204.

Sincerely, L. A. Wiens, Project Manager 90112ADOC 05000269 Project Directorate 11-3 P
