SUBJECT:

REPORT

NO. 50-400/88-17

The

NRC Systematic

Assessment

of Licensee

Performance

(SALP) has

been completed

for your

Shearon

Harris facility.

The facility was evaluated

for the period

July 1,

1987,

through

June 30,

1988.

The results

of the evaluation

are

documented

in the enclosed

SALP Report.

This report will be discussed

with you

at the Harris Energy

and Environmental

Center

on September

27,

1988.

The performance of your Shearon

Harris facility was evaluated

in the functional

areas

of plant operations,

radiological controls,

maintenance,

surveillance,

fire protection,

emergency

preparedness,

security,

outages,

quality programs

and administrative

controls affecting quality, licensing activities, training

and qualification effectiveness,

and engineering

support.

Overall

performance

of your Shearon

Harris facility was satisfactory

during

this

assessment

period.

This performance

resulted

in an

improving trend in

several

areas

and

revealed

an

increased

management

awareness

of the various

aspects

of full power operation., Although two areas

decreased

in performance

level from the previous

assessment

period, actual

performance

was sufficiently

high that

improvement

in these

areas

should

be achievable

through aggressive

management

attention

and leadership.

Improv'ement in reactor operations

was observed

during the latter portion of the

period,

based

not merely

on

a decrease

in the

number of violations, but also

. your

increased

emphasis

on

personnel

training

and

an

extended

period of

sustained

operation

during

1988.

Two functional

areas

improved sufficiently

during

the

assessment

period

to warrant

a

category

change.

The first,

security,

resulted

from an aggressive

resolution of several -startup

problems.

However,

two recent

security

events,

though

outside

the

assessment

period,

should

be reviewed to ensure

that performance

in this area

does

not decrease.

The

second,

training

and quality effectiveness,

was also

upgraded

from the

previous rating period.

The effectiveness

of the wide-ranging

licensed

and

non-licensed

training program resulted

in a low number of personnel

errors

and

contributed

to the plant overall

improved

performance

during the

assessment

period.

Two 'functional

areas

decreased

in performance

from the previous

assessment

period.

In the

area

of fire protection,

an

increase

in the

number of

violations

revealed

an

apparent

complacency

after

the

establishment

of

an excellent fire protection

program.

This

area

requires

management

attention to reestablish

the previous high performance

level.

Also,

in the licensing area,

a decrease

in performance

was observed

from the previous

rating.

Although the performance

was good,

the transition

from construction

to

operation

appeared

to have decreased

the effectiveness

of this activity.

This

transitory

problem

does

appear

to

have

been

solved

as

evidenced

by improved

performance

during the latter portion of the assessment

period.

Overall, this is

a fairly good

assessment

of performance.

However,

we

must

urge you to continue

to strive for safety

enhancement

beyond

mere regulatory

compliance,

lest complacency

sets in.

Any comments

you

have

concerning

our evaluation

of the

performance

of your

Shearon

Harris facility should

be

submitted

to this office within

30

days

following our meeting

on

September

27,

1988.

Your comments,

a

summary of our

meeting,

and

my disposition

of your comments

wi 11

be issued

as

an

appendix

to

the enclosed

SALP Board Report.

Should

you

have

any

questions

concerning

this letter,

we will be

glad to

discuss

them with you.
