Dear Dr. Mecredy:
SUBJECT: SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP)
REPORT NUMBER 50-244/92-99
e
This letter forwards the SALP report for the R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant for the period
January
19, 1992, through September
11, 1993.
This SALP was conducted under the
revised SALP process
that was implemented by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
on July 19, 1993.
The revised SALP process rates the performance of licensees in four
functional areas:
operations,
engineering,
maintenance,
and plant support.
The plant
support area includes:
radiological controls, emergency preparedness,
security, fire
protection, chemistry, and housekeeping
controls.
Generally, improved performance at the Ginna plant continued.
During the SALP period,
both corporate and plant management
demonstrated
a proactive approach in dealing with
safety issues,
and provided excellent oversight, control, and support of plant activities.
-Significantly improved performance and management
effectiveness were demonstrated
in the
engineering area.
The offsite and onsite review committees'oversight
was notably effective.
Staff training and performance in problem identification and root-cause analyses
also were
notable strengths.
While your performance in radiological controls was considered
to be good, weaknesses
were
noted in revising radiological controls procedures
and in implementing the ALARA
and'adiological
environmental monitoring programs.
During the next few years, there willbe a
significant challenge associated
with the planned replacement of the steam generators.
This
activity will require substantial
increases
in resource demands and new challenges
to your
radiological controls program.
The special attention that you will devote to this activity
while attaining improved performance in the area of radiological controls willbe a significant
management
challenge.
Activities associated
with staff training and development were outstanding.
These included
the lateial reassignments
of staff from the Operations Department and the participation in
visits to other sites with two-loop Westinghouse power plants.

Performance in the operations area remained a Category 2.
Corporate and plant management
continued to exercise good oversight of plant operations.
Operators were frequently
challenged by equipment problems in the balance of plant and responded
well to the
associated
plant transients and abnormal conditions.
~ However,.weaknesses
were evident in
the control of'ysteni configurations and the initial management
response
was inadequate in
followup to the significant industry issue concerning falsification of logs by operators.
Performance in engineering improved from Category 2 to Category I. Strong management
oversight was exhibited for planning and implementation of major modifications.
Communications were outstanding between the corporate and site staffs.
However,
inadequate corrective action for the failed valves in the service water system could have been
avoided had the earlier failures in similar valves been properly evaluated.
Performance in maintenance
remained
a Category
1. A quality-oriented maintenance
environment existed at Ginna, and improvements to maintenance activities continued to be
aggressively pursued.
However, increased
management
attention is needed to reduce the
frequency of challenges
to both safety systems and operators,
caused by secondary
system
equipment problems.
Performance in the new area of plant support was rated Category 2.
The overall
performance
was considered
to be good, with superior performance in the security program
being a notable highlight. Performance during the emergency preparedness
drill continued to
improve and excellent rapport continued with offsite organizations.
Areas needing improved
performance were noted in the radiological controls, environmental monitoring,
housekeeping,
We have scheduled
a management
meeting with you that will be open for public observation
at I:00 p.m. on November 15, 1993, at the Ginna Training Center.
At the meeting, you
should be prepared
to discuss our assessment
and any initiatives you plan to take to address
the weaknesses
identified in the SALP report.
We appreciate your cooperation.
Sincerely,
QRQNAI. SIGNED BY:
