Subject:
Systematic Assessment oF Licensee Performance for the Period of June 1980 through June 1981 In 1980 the NRC instituted a program for Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP).
The NRC staff began collecting available observations
- and, based on those observations, evaluating the performance of power reactor licensees (including construction permit holders) with respect to nuclear------
safety.
During the first annual cycle of this program, licensee performance was evaluated in two steps:
First, by a SALP Board in the appropriate NRC Regional Office; and then by a SALP Review Group at NRC Headquarters.
The SALP Review Group produced a single report summarizing its assessments for power reactors throughout the U.S.
This report was issued in November 1981 (NUREG-0834, RFinal Report, NRC Licensee Assessments" ).
Subsequently, a number of changes were made to the progr am.
The new program was published in the Federal Re iste}
on March 22, 1982, and includes the following principal c anges:
(1)
Adoption of regional level evaluations.
This eliminates review by the SALP Review Group at NRC Headquarters with its attendant national report while improving the timeliness of'roviding evaluation results.
(2)
Establishment of new evaluation criteria which are not dependent upon the average performance level.
(3)
Establishment of a process fo} taking licensee comments into account.
