Gentlemen:
Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled
meeting of January
23, 1986,
is the
SALP Board Report for
D.
C.
Cook, Unit Nos.
1 and 2, covering the
period April 1,
1984 through September
30, 1985.
In accordance
with NRC policy, I have reviewed the
SALP Board assessment
and
concur with their ratings.
It is my view that the
Company
s conduct of
nuclear activities in connection with the
D.
C,
Cook facility was acceptable,
but that regulatory performance
had declined
and requires
prompt management
attention to preclude
an adverse
impact on plant safety.
Performance
in three
functional areas
(Surveillance,
Security,
and guality Programs)
received
a
Category
3 rating.
Moreover, the Category
3 rating in the quality Programs
area
marks the second
consecutive
such rating for this area.
These ratings,
and the fact that four functional areas
reflected
a declining performance
trend during the assessment
period,
are of substantial
concern to us.
In view of the above, it is imperative that timely and decisive
management
action
be taken to stem this downward trend in regulatory performance at the
D.
C.
Cook facility.
To assist
us in evaluating your actions,
we request that
you provide
a written response
to this
SALP report within 30 days after our
scheduled
meeting noted above.
Your response
should address
each functional
area that was rated Category
3 and/or reflected
a declining performance
trend.
Your response
should describe
the actions you will take to improve performance.
As noted in our December
23,
1985 letter to you transmitting the results of
a special
D.
C.
Cook operational
history evaluation,
we request that your
response
to that evaluation
be submitted in conjunction with your response
to
the enclosed
SALP report.
You will have
an opportunity to present your comments
on the
SALP report at
the meeting
on January
23, 1986.
Me will also consider
any written comments
received within 30 days after the meeting, in addition to the written response
specifically requested
above.
