Cy UNITED STATES II NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 0001 January 25, 1994 Docket Nos. 50-275, 50-323 Mr. Richard A. Clarke Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Pacific Gas and Electric Company 77 Beale Street San Francisco, California 94106
Dear Mr. Clarke:
On January 11-13,
- 1994, NRC senior managers met to evaluate the nuclear safety performance of operating reactors, fuel facilities, and other materials licensees.
The, NRC conducts this meeting semiannually to determine if the safety performance of the various licensees exhibits sufficient weaknesses to warrant increased NRC attention.
In addition, at this meeting, senior managers identify specific plants that have demonstrated a level of safety performance that deserves formal NRC recognition.
At the January 1994 Senior Management Meeting, the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant was identified as having achieved a high level of safety performance, and as a result, met criteria for recognition of its performance.
I am pleased to note that Diablo Canyon has again been identified as a good performer.
In identifying such plants, NRC senior managers perform an evaluation of performance in many areas including operational
- safety, self-assessment, problem resolution, and plant management organization and oversight.
~
The NRC recognizes that to achieve the level of performance demonstrated by the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant, there must be management involvement in all phases of plant activities, the staff must be dedicated and knowledgeable and fully supportive of plant activities, and a commitment to safety must exist throughout the organization.
We commend you and your staff for achieving this high level of safety performance.
Your achievement is a positive example to the industry.
The greatest challenge that you now face is to maintain this level of performance and not to rest on past achievements.
Continued management involvement and support, and dedicated efforts from your staff to identify and IIIhC FILLE O'KÃree ~V 9402040229 940125 PDR ADOCK 05000275 P,
