Beaver Valley Power Station Units 1 and 2 Reoly to SALP Report NRC SALP Report Nos.
50-334/88-99 and 50-412/88-99 dated November 24, 1989 provided the SALP Board assessment of activities at Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit 1 and Unit 2 for the period of June 1,
1988 through August 31, 1989.
The Summary of Results on pages 3
and 4 of the SALP Report provided an overview of our program strengths and weaknesses.
As summarized, "The challenge for the licensee is to reduce the number of unplanned trips and transients by reducing the number of personnel errors.
Also, the licensee needs to strengthen management oversight and self-assessment capabilities in the area of radiological Controls."
The following plans to improve our performance have been completed or are expected to be completed during 1990:
We have implemented a
formal Human Performance evaluation System for systematically evaluating human performance problems.
We have completed a single-point failure analysis which will be used to reduce reactor trips through enhanced tagging, maintenance, testing or operating procedures.
We are evaluating methods to highlight critical procedural steps which have the potential for producing reactor trips or ESF actuations.
The Operations Department is being re-organized to strengthen the areas of operational support and assessment.
We have evaluated Operations' staffing levels against similar dual-unit facilities and find that our shift staffing levels are adequate.
- However, to ensure that there are sufficient qualified personnel for the future, we are planning to start a new class for licensed operator training during 1990.
We will review our Radiological Control supervisory staffing prior to the Unit 2 refueling outage scheduled for September
- 1990, to determine if staff assignments can be changed to provide more direct Duquesne Light Company supervisory oversight.
We will evaluate the feasibility of implementing " Rad Con Quality Assessors" to provide Duquesne Light Company supervisory oversight of critical tasks.
