SUBJECT:
SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT
OF LICENSEE
PERFORMANCE
(NRC INSPECTION
REPORT
NO. 50-400/89-33)
This refers to the
NRC's Systematic
Assessment
of Licensee
Performance
(SALP)
Report for your Shearon
Harris Nuclear
Power Plant which was sent to you on
February 8,
1990;
our meeting
on February
20,
1990, at which we discussed
this
report;
and your written comments
in a letter dated
March 22,
1990.
The
Board
has
considered
your two comments
in the functional
area of Maintenance
with the following conclusions:
a
~
Maintenance
Training -
The
Report
acknowledged
a satisfactory
maintenance
training program,
but described
lack of documented
training
for
some
specialized
tasks
and
waiving refresher
training for
some
experienced
craftsmen
as
weaknesses.
Your
response
states
that
a
significant
amount of refresher
training
was
conducted
and that waivers
were justified.
Our
assessment
was
based
upon
a
Maintenance
Team
Inspection
which identified
the
small
number
and
general
nature
of
qualification cards
as
a weakness.
This inspection
also
noted that the
program for requalification
of craftsmen
could
be
strengthened
by
requiring
a test to be passed
or refresher training to be scheduled
as
a
condition for waiving recertification training.
We
acknowledge
the
program attributes
cited in your
response,
but
we continue
to believe
that the conclusions
stated
in the Maintenance
Team Inspection
and
Reports
are valid.
The Board
recommended
no change
to the Initial Salp
Report.
b.
Root
Cause
of Turbine Area Fire - The
Board determination that
damaged
parts
were inadvertently left in the bus duct was
based
on your presenta-
tion at the peeting
held in Rockville, Maryland
on December
20,
1989.
A
summary of your presentation
was
forwarded to you
by
NRC letter dated
January
10,
1990.
Your information relative to limited access,
and your
subsequent
disassembly
and cleaning of the
bus duct cooling damper
does
not alter the root cause of the turbine area fire.
The Board
recommended
~
~
~
no change to the Initial SALP Report.
I concur with the
Board's
disposition
of your
comments.
The enclosures
consist
of
a meeting
summary
and
SALP slides;
an errata
coversheet
which
constitutes
our Final
SALP Report;
and
a copy of your written comments.

The performance
at your Harris facility has
been superior
and I encourage
you
to strive for excellence
in all
SALP functional areas.
No reply to this letter is required;
however,
should you have
any questions,
I
will be pleased
to discuss
them with you.
Sincerely,
(Original signed
