SUBJECT:
SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT
OF LICENSEE
PERFORMANCE
(SALP)
REPORT
NOS. 50-
387/95-99
AND 50-388/95-99
Dear Mr. Byram:
This letter
forwards the Pennsylvania
Power
It Light Company's
(PPKL's)
Susquehanna
Steam Electric Station
(SSES),
Units
1 and 2,
SALP report
(Enclosure
1) for the period February
27,
1994 to August 5,
1995.
This
assessment
was conducted
under the
SALP process
implemented
by the Nuclear
Regulatory
Commission
on July 19,
1993.
The
SALP process
evaluates
licensee
performance
in four functional areas:
operations,
maintenance,
engineering,
and plant support.
The plant support functional
area
includes radiological
controls, security,
emergency
preparedness,
fire protection,
and housekeeping
controls.
As
a result of our review,
Enclosure
2 provides our tentative
inspection plan for the next year.
Overall, the
NRC observed
a superior level of performance
at
SSES.
Strong
performance
in the maintenance,
engineering
and plant support
areas
continued
this
SALP period,
and improved performance
was noted in the operations
area.
There
was excellent
communications
among departments,
effective coordination
of activities,
and strong evidence of teamwork resolving safety issues.
Also,
station wide self-assessments
were found to be critical and responsive
to
improving plant processes.
In addition, the recent
changes
in handling of
.
station deficiencies
through the Condition Report process
was
a positive
initiative to improve corrective action activities.
Plant Operations
improved to
a Category
1 rating.
Operations
management
maintained extensive oversight
and strong involvement in daily and preplanned
operational
evolutions.
To correct the weakness
identified during the
previous
SALP period,
management
control
and presence
during refueling outage
preparations
and activities were significantly strengthened.
Further,
operator
performance
in the control
room continued to be
a strength
as
evidenced
by performance
during routine
and operational
events.
Maintenance
was rated Category
1.
PPKL implemented
a strong,
well-managed,
and effective maintenance
program.
Improved planning, coordination,
and
excellent supervisory oversight contributed to very successful
refueling
outages.
Occasional
examples of personnel
performance
weaknesses
were
observed
and warrant continued
management
attention to ensure
sustained
excellent performance.
Surveillance activities were well controlled
and
effectively managed.

Superior engineering
performance
continued in this period,
and engineering
was
rated Category
1.
Engineering
management
was involved in the resolution of
design
and technical
problems early in the corrective action process
and
provided guidance
and recommendations
with a strong safety perspective.
Overall, the technical quality of modifications
and licensing actions
was
excellent.
Although there were instances
of occasional
lapses
in
corporate/site
communications,
the organization effectively addressed
complex
and subtle technical deficiencies
in a timely manner.
Plant support
was also rated Category
1.
Throughout the
SALP period, the
plant support functions effectively contributed to safe plant performance.
Performance
in the radiation protection
area
was excellent.
Steady
improvement
was noted in the
ALARA program.
Outstanding
performance
in the
radiological effluent and environmental
monitoring programs
was also noted.
There
was continued excellent performance
in the emergency
preparedness
area.
Security program performance
continued to be strong;
however,
several
longstanding
assessment
aid concerns
remain unresolved.
Further,
inappropriate practices
during the administration of a requalification
examination,
which occurred during the last
SALP period,
were corrected
during
this period.
Plant housekeeping
controls were excellent.
You are to be congratulated
for, your achievement
of Category
1 ratings in all
four SALP functional areas.
In recognition of your superior performance,
the
Susquehanna
SALP period
has
been
extended to 24 months
and our planned total
inspection
hours
have
been further reduced.
The resulting inspection
plan
only includes
minimum core (routine) inspection
hours for a two unit site.
The resident inspector staffing level
had already
been
reduced
below the
normal
complement
in recognition of your past excellent performance.
We have scheduled
a management
meeting with you to discuss
our assessment.
The meeting is scheduled
to take place at the Susquehanna
Steam Electric
Station Training Center
on October 6,
1995.
The meeting is open for public
observation,
but not for public participation.
During this meeting you are encouraged
to candidly discuss
any comments
you
may have regarding the report
as well as to discuss
any initiatives or areas
where further improvements
could be realized,
as mentioned in our evaluation.
We appreciate
your continued cooperation.
Sincerely,
