SUBJECT:
NRC INTEGRATED INSPECTION REPORT 50-259/98-01.
50-260/98-01.
50-296/98-01
Dear Mr. Zeringue:
On February
28,
1998, the
NRC completed
an inspection at your Browns Ferry
facility.
The enclosed
report presents
the results of that inspection.
During the six-week period covered
by this inspection period, your conduct of
activities at the Browns Ferry facility was generally characterized
by good
operations,
strong scheduling
and execution of maintenance activities,
and
excellent overall plant support.
An overall review of your corrective action
program and self-assessment
effectiveness
was conducted.
Problems
are
appropriately being identified, classified,
and corrected.
Management
involvement and review of the process
was found to be strong. 'uclear
Assurance
has
been effective in aggressively identifying areas for
improvement;
however, in some cases
problem definition could be more specific.
Recent operations
self-assessments
have not been effectively evaluating
processes
and integrating information in order to identify improvement areas.
Engineering self-assessments
were useful in identifying some deficiences;
however,
do not appear to be evaluating the performance of several
key
processes.
Maintenance
self-assessments
continued to be effective in
identifying areas for performance
improvement.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice,"
a copy of
this letter
and its enclosure will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room
(PDR).
Sincerely,
priginal Signed bV
