UNITEDSTATES NIP%EAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON,D. C. 20555 FEB 12 1sgg Docket Nos. 50-250 50>>251 Mr. James L. Broadhead Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer Florida Power and Light Company Post Office Box 088801 North Palm Beach, FL 33408
Dear Mr. Broadhead:
On January 22 and 23,
- 1990, NRC senior manager s met to review the performance of nuclear power plants licensed to operate by the NRC.
This meeting is conducted semiannually to focus NRC resources on those plants and issues of greatest safety significance.
At this meeting, it was concluded Florida Power and Light Company's (FPL)
Turkey Point facility has demonstrated sustained improvement sufficient to warrant removal from the category of plants that require increased attention from both NRC Headquarters and the Regional office.
A summary of NRC discussions held relating to Turkey Point is provided below:
Performance of the Turkey Point plant has been discussed at NRC Senior Management Meetings since 1986.
At the last meeting, it was noted that some positive indications of improved overall performance had been identified at the Station but that concerns still existed with senior management stability and certain functional areas.
Senior management changes and additions have reduced our concern.
These changes have been effective in accelerating improved performance in the weak functional areas.
Overall performance has demonstrated that the programmatic changes made in response to NRC concerns and FPL self-assessments have been effectively implemented.
Performance over the past few years had been characterized by improving trends but the occurrences of significant events during those periods indicated the need for additional attention.
This past period was characterized by successful and safe operations resulting from revitalized management, long-term plant enhancements, and an improved safety culture.
The FPL management should continue to place priority attention on the safe operation of Turkey Point to assure that neither management nor staff become complacent about safety improvements attained.
An NRC Commission meeting open to the public has been scheduled for February 15, 1990, to review the results of the latest meeting of NRC manage s.
Mr. Stewart 0. Ebneter, the Region II Administrator, has discussed the basis for our conclusions with regard to the Turkey Point facility with members of your staff.
