Subject:
Systematic
Assessment
of Licensee
Performance
(SALP)
The NRC's Systematic
Assessment
of Licensee
Performance
(SALP) Board has
completed its periodic evaluation of the performance of your Washington
Nuclear Project
No.
2 (WNP-2) facility for the period June 1,
1989 through
August 31,
1990.
The performance of WNP-2 was evaluated
in the functional areas
of Plant
Operations,
Radiological Controls, Maintenance/Surveillance,
Emergency
Preparedness,
Security,
Engineering/Technical
Support,
and Safety
Assessment/equality
Verification.
The criteria used in conducting this
assessment
and the
SALP Board's evaluation of your performance
in these
functional areas
are contained in the enclosed
SALP report.
Overall, the
SALP Board found your performance
to be generally
good and
directed
toward safe facility operation.
Your performance
in most areas
was
judged to have
improved over the previous period, with a Category
1 rating
assigned
to Plant Operations
and Safety Assessment/equality
Verification.
No
area
was assigned
a Category
3 rating.
However,
as discussed
in the enclosed
report, your attention is still needed
to ensure
timely and effective
completion of improvement programs
you have initiated.
The principal concerns
of the
SALP Board and of NRC management
involve
(1) weaknesses
in your preventive maintenance
program,
(2) procedure quality
and adherence
in several
areas,
and (3) lagging corrective actions associated
with the Emergency
Preparedness
and Security areas.
Weaknesses
were also
noted that were specific to the following areas:
Radiological Controls adherence
of plant personnel
to basic radio-
logical work practices.
Maintenance/Surveillance Performance
of preventive maintenance
activities,
and maintenance
procedure quality and adherence,
Engineering/Technical
Support -- workload and training of the Plant
Technical staff.
November 8,
1990
In addition,
an inspection of your- Emergency. Operating
Procedures
(EOP)
shortly after the end of the assessment
period found that your
verification'nd
validation program for
was weak.
Due to the importance of the
EOPs,
this area
deserves
your prompt
attention.'n
overview of this assessment
is provided in Section II of the enclosed
report.
Strengths,
weaknesses,
and Board recommendations
are provided in
Section IV, Performance
Analysis.
Based
upon discussions
with your staff,
a management
meeting to discuss
the
results of the
SALP Board's
assessment
has
been
scheduled for November 28,
1990.
Arrangements for this meeting will be discussed
further with your staff
in the near future.
Since
no functional area
was assessed
Category
3,
a written response
to the
enclosed initial report is not required.
However, you may submit comments
on
the enclosed report, if desired, within 30 days after the
November 28,
1990
meeting.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter and the enclosed
SALP report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document
Room,
as well as
any
comments
you.may wish to 'submit to the
NRC regarding the content of the
report.

Data performed
an

provided
as
an input to the
SALP process;
a copy is therefore
