Attention:
Mr.
W. F.
Conway
Executive Vice President,
Nuclear
Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REPORT
OF MEETING WITH APS
MANAGEMENT
This refers to a meeting held with you and members of your staff at the
Arizona Public Service
Company
(APS) corporate office in Phoenix,
Arizona on
May 26,
1992.
The subjects
discussed
are summarized
in Meeting Report Nos.
50-528/92-21,
50-529/92-21,
and 50-530/92-21,
enclosed with a copy of the
slides presented
by APS.
During this meeting
we discussed
with you the Systematic
Assessment
of
Licensee
Performance
(SALP) results for Palo Verde which we had transmitted to
you in Report
Nos. 50-528/92-07,
50-529/92-07,
and 50-530/92-07.
In this
meeting
we noted APS'mprovement
in the past several
years,
and the
results
have indicated satisfactory
performance.
However, recent
events
have
indicated
a leveling off of performance.
The challenge for APS is to
effectively use existing management,
programs,
and personnel
to consistently
achieve
good performance.
APS managers 'need to effectively communicate their
expectations
through all levels of the organization
and to assure
that these
expectations
are
implemented.
We are encouraged
by your response
that you'are
continuing to strive for improvement
and have the expectation to be
a top
performer in the next few years.
During the management
meeting following discussion of the
SALP report,
we took
the opportunity to discuss
some recent plant events.
In general,
you appear
to have thoroughly investigated
these
events in a self-critical manner.
We
encourage
you to take
a broad view of the weaknesses
and root causes
of
failure identified during these investigations
and
how they reflect on overall
facility operation.
We recommend that you particularly focus
on lessons
learned
regarding effective control of work conducted
in the plant,
appropriate attention to detail,
and consistent quality performance.
You
should view these
lessons
learned
as
an opportunity to prevent future events.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter and the enclosures
will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
