The
NRC
Systematic
Assessment
of
Licensee
Performance
(SALP)
Board
has
completed its periodic evaluation of your Turkey Point facility.
This facility
was evaluated for the period
May 1, 1986, through
May 31,
1987.
The results of
the evaluation
are
documented
in the enclosed
SALP Board Report.
,The report
will be discussed
with you at the Turkey Point site at 9: 00 a.m.,
on July 30,
1987.
The performance
of your
Turkey Point facility was evaluated
i n the functional
areas
of plant operations,
radiological controls,
maintenance,
surveillance,
emergency
preparedness,
security
and safeguards,
outages,
quality programs
and
administrative
controls affecting quality, licensing activities, training and
qualification effectiveness,
and engineering
support.
The engineering
support
category is
a new functional area that
has
been
added
to the
SALP.
This
new category
explores
events
and
problems that occurred
during
the period.
The Florida
Power
and Light engineering
functions
have
figured prominently in activities
on site.
As noted
by the
SALP Board, you will need to continue your intense
management
involvement in activities associated
with your Turkey Point facility.
Your
major
personnel,
material
and financial
commitments
are
recognized
and are
having
a positive effect as evidenced
by the improvements
in plant operations,
maintenance
and quality programs.
However,
weaknesses
in facility performance
have
been
noted
in the
areas
of security
and
safeguards,
training
and
qualification effectiveness,
and engineering
support.
The various parts of the
Performance
Enhancement
Program
(PEP)
have
been
pursued vigorously as
have your
other initiatives to
improve
performance.
While the
general
trend is
improving,
and the plant
and its staff are in better condition,
a number of
individual significant events
and inspection findings during the period covered
have precluded
higher ratings at this time.
One such significant event was the
conoseal
leak
on the Unit 4 reactor
vessel
head.
This event highlighted our
concerns with management
effectiveness
both in the decision-making
process that
allowed the unit to operate
in the Fall of 1986 and the initial response
to the
event in March 1987.
Also, the loss of boric acid flowpaths
event in late

ADOCK 05000250

and Light Company
JUL 17 SN
'I'ay1987 gave us'cause
to question the effectiveness
of improvements
in the area of
plant operations
that were evident
up to this period of time.
Your
management
attention
in the
area
of training
and qualification
effectiveness
was
displayed
by the construction
of a
new training facility
which
was
dedicated
by Chairman
Lando
Zech in February
1987.
However,
the
continued
poor performance
in this area
was apparently
inconsistent with the
resources
you
have
expended.
Similarly, the
area of security
and safeguards
appears
to suffer from inadequate
management
oversight.
We also
note that
some of your initiatives
have yielded significant safety
improvements.
The design
basis
reconstitution
of selected
safety
systems
has
uncovered
several
design
or procedural
deficiencies for which you took prompt
and effective corrective action.
The Procedure
Upgrade
Program also appears
to
be progressing
well
and
has
resulted
in substantial
improvements.
We will
continue to monitor and work closely with you in the implementation of these
programs.
Any comments
which you
have
concerning
our evaluation of the performance of
your facility should
be submitted to this office within 30 days following the
date of our meeting in Homestead,
Your comments,
a
summary of our
meeting,
and
my disposition of your
comments will be issued
as appendices
to
the enclosed
SALP Board report.
Should
you
have
any
questions
concerning
this letter,
we will be glad to
discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
Enclosure:
