SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-280/90-16 AND 50-281/90-16
OFFICIAL COPY
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) has been completed
for your Surry facility.
The facility was evaluated for the period July 1,
1989, through March 31, 1990.
The results of the evaluation are documented in
the enclosed Interim SALP Report.
This report will be discussed with you at a
public meeting to be held at the Surry site on June 1, 1990, at 9:00 a.m.
Surry
1s performance was evaluated in the functional areas of Plant Operation~,
Radiological Controls, Maintenance/Surveillance, Emergency Preparedness,
Security, Engineering/Technical Support and Safety Assessment/Quality Verifica-
tion.
Surry
1s ratings improved in four of seven areas with improvements noted
in the remaining areas since the last assessment period.
Noteworthy has been
the improvement of the Radiological Controls and Emergency Preparedness areas.
One area, Maintenance/Surveillance, continued from the last assessment period
to demonstrate marginal performance.
There are a few common threads that run through the assessment that are major
contributors to the overall improved performance.
Examples are the improvement
in safety attitude and increased management involvement in all activities.
With regard to attitude, the assessment states:
Operations -
11 improved safety attitude for operation of the station
11
Radiological Controls -
11managements philosophy had a positive effect on
- radiation workers attitude
11
Management -
11threshold for identification of adverse conditions continued
to be conservative
11 and
11management safety attitude was
a strength.
11
One other common thread that is worthy of mention is the progress made in
self-assessment.
The report identifies many positive items including an
improvement in quality -assurance, initiation of an engineering assurance
program, establishment of a management review group, and implementation of a
corporate level self-assessment function.

Although significant improvements have been made there are some areas that are
more resistant to change--the most notable being maintenance.
Improvements
have been made in this area but they are slower to take hold, and this requires
increased management attention to overcome deep seated issues such as
backlogs, scheduling, and work control.
Your attention should be directed on
the other weaknesses noted in the narrative portion of the assessment to
assure continued improvement in the other functional areas.
Any comments you have concerning our evaluation of the performance of your
Surry facility should be submitted to this office within 30 days following the
date of our meeting.
These comments will be considered in the development of
the Final SALP report.
Should you have any questions concerning this letter, we will be glad to
discuss them with you.
