Gentlemen:
Enclosed for your review,, prior to our scheduled
meeting
on February 5, 1987,
is the
SALP Board Report for the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Generating Plant,
,
covering the period of October 1,, 1985, through September
30, 1986.
t
In accordance
with NRC policy, I have reviewed the
SALP Board recommendations
and concur with their r atings.
It is my view that American"Electric
Power
Company's
Conduct of nuclear'ctivities
in connectior with the Donald
C.
Cook
Nuclear Generating
Plant reflects
adequate
sensitivity to nuclear safety.
The highlights of this report are
as follows:
2.
A Category
1 rating was given in the
new functional area of Outages.
Improved performance
was demonstrated
from the previous
SALP period, in
the functional areas of Surveillance,
Security
and guality Programs 'and
Administrative Controls Affecting guality.
These
areas
were previously
rated Category
3 and were raised to Category
2 ratings in this
period;
I concur in the Category
2 rating for the Surveillance
area in recognition of
improvements in enforcement
and test procedures,
as well as
a reduction in
the rate of LER's over the
SALP period.
However, it is my view that the
number of Licensee
Event Reports in this area is not indicative of Category
2
SALP performance
and remains
unacceptably
high.
I appreciate
the fact that
the high number of LER's reported is due in part to your increased
reviews in
this area.
I urge your continued attention to this area to achieve
improved
performance in all aspects
of the surveillance
program at the D.C. Cook
facility.
While you will have sufficient opportunity to present your comments at the
meeting
on February 5, 1987, you may also make'written
comments within 30 days
after the meeting.
We will evaluate
any written coments
and provide you
with our conclusions relative to them.
In accordance
with Section
2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
Part 2,
Title 10,
Code of Federal
Regulations,
a copy of this letter and the
Report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document
Room.
