Gentlemen:
Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled
meeting
on September
26,
1989,
is the
SALP 8 Board Report for the Donald
C.
Cook Nuclear Generating
Plant,
covering the period from March 1,
1988 through June 30,
1989.
In accord with NRC policy, I have reviewed the
SALP Board Assessment
and concur
with their ratings.
It is my view that the conduct of nuclear activities in
connection with the O.C. Cook facility shows
an appropriate
concern for nuclear
safety.
Although the current performance
has
improved
as
compared to previous
SALP periods, I believe
O.C.
Cook needs to maintain its effort to sustain this
long-term improving trend in order to achieve
superior performance.
Highlights
of the report are set forth below:
'1.
The assessment
of performance of D.C. Cook indicated six .Category
2
ratings
and two Category
1 ratings.
There were
no areas of decline since
the previous
SALP Report.
2.
The area of Plant Operations
received
a Category
1 rating which is an
improvement from the Category
2 and improving rating received during
the previous
SALP period.
This improvement
was largely a result of a
reduction in enforcement,
a reduced
number of events,
and overall conservative
operating philosophy.
However, this is not a strong Category
1 rating;
therefore,
your continued attention in this functional area is appropriate
and needed.
3.
The area of Emergency
Preparedness
received
a Category
1 rating which is
an improvement from the Category
2 rating received during the previous
SALP period based
on good or improving performance
in all facets of this
functional area.

4.
There were occasions
during this assessment
period when the licensee
failed to evaluate root causes
when addressing
problems
and only performed
root cause
analysis after
NRC prompting.
These
instances
indicate
a need
for more extensive evaluation in approaching
operational
decisions.
5.
In view of the large
number of contractor personnel
at D.C. Cook and the
plant problems contributed
by this group, greater control appears
appropriate.
While you will have sufficient opportunity *to present your comments at the
meeting
on September
26, 1989,
we also solicit written comments within 30 days
after the meeting.
Your comments,
a summary of our meeting,
and
my disposition
of your comments will be issued
as
an Appendix to the enclosed
SALP Board
Report.
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
SALP Board
Report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document
Room.
Should you have any questions
concerning
the
SALP Report,
we would be pleased
to discuss. them with you.
Sincerely,
zg&R=
A. Bert Davis
