Dear Dr. Necredy:
This letter forwards the
R.
E. Ginna,
SALP report for the period September
12,
1993 to Narch ll, 1995.
This SALP was conducted
under the revised
process that was implemented
by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) on
July 19,
1993.
The revised
SALP process
rates
licensees
in four functional
areas:
Operations,
Naintenance,
Engineering,
and Plant Support.
The Plant
Support area includes:
Radiological Controls, Security,
Emergency
Preparedness,
Fire Protection,
Chemistry,
and Housekeeping
Controls.
Overall, the
NRC continued to see very good safety performance
at Ginna.
Nanagement
demonstrated
a proper safety perspective
and exhibited
improved
oversight
and involvement in plant activities.
The
RG&E safety review
committees strongly contributed to the conservative
operating philosophy
and
scope of corrective actions.
We found your self-assessment
activities to be
proactive, especially your recent efforts to review the operational
performance of the service water system:
With the exception of some lapses
in
the maintenance
area,
we found your reviews
and root cause
determinations
for
plant problems to be thorough
and comprehensive.
The numerous
examples of
maintenance
related
equipment installation or reassembly
problems, especially
during outage periods,
warrant
a broad review to identify root causes
and to
devise measures
for earlier identification of possible
adverse
performance
trends.
We noted improved performance in operations
and this area
was rated Category
1.
Operations
personnel
continued their strong performance
in operating the
plant and responding to events while improvement
was observed
in management
oversight,
licensed operator requalification training effectiveness,
and
configuration control.
Another strength of operations
was the questioning
attitude in tracking
and monitoring plant parameters
that allowed early
identification of plant problems,
such
as
steam leaks in containment
and the
clogging of a containment
pressure
sensing line.
Naintenance
was rated category 2.
The plant was generally well maintained
and
long-term equipment
upgrades
continued.
Naintenance
procedures
were very good
following completion of a five year procedure
upgrade
program.
Although most
maintenance activities were performed well, significant exceptions
occurred
during equipment installation or reassembly.
These
problems indicated
weakness
in the efforts of the Naintenance
Department to prevent
and correct
deficient conditions, especially during outages.
Root cause
determinations
associated
with maintenance
problems varied in quality.

Dr. Robert
C. Hecredy
Engineering
performance
was rated Category l.
Engineering
Department
management
provided strong oversight in controlling configuration changes
as
evidenced
by the excellent planning
and installation of plant modifications.
The engineering
organization
demonstrated
a strong safety perspective
in
support of plant operations,
including resolution of past technical
problems.
Communications
between the corporate
and site engineering staffs were
excellent.
The Engineering
Department
demonstrated
an excellent root cause
and corrective action program.
Corporate engineering
provided outstanding
support in planning for the steam generator
replacement
program,
conversion to
standard
technical specifications,
and
new fuel reload in 1996.
Plant Support
was rated Category 2.
The plant support functions effectively
contributed to safe plant operations.
Performance
in the radiation protection
area
was good.
Steady
improvements
have
been
made in the
ALARA program
performance,
but areas for growth still exist in meeting exposure
reduction
challenges.
Very good performance
was noted in the radiological effluent and
environmental
monitoring programs.
There
was continued
good performance in
the emergency
preparedness
area,
however several
attention to detail
problems
were identified.
Security program performance
continued to be
a strength,
however
a significant vulnerability was identified in implementation of the
fitness-for-duty program.
The fire protection
and housekeeping
programs
were
effectively implemented.
Enclosure
2 provides the schedule
and basis for NRC inspections of your
facility planned for the next year.
We will inform you of any changes
required to the attached
inspection schedule.
The routine resident
inspection
effort is not included in this schedule.
We have scheduled
a management
meeting with you,
open for public observation,
at ll:00 am on Hay 9,
1995 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
detailed in our evaluation.
We appreciate
your cooperation.
Sincerely,
Docket No. 50-244
