Gentlemen:
'
-
Enclosed for your ' review, prior to our scheduled meeting of January 26,.1990,
is the' Initial-SALPL9 Report for Clinton Power Station,= covering the period
September:1,- 1988 through October 31, 1989.
e
In'accordance with NRC policy I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment
and concur, with their ratings. Overall, your performance was found to be.
'. satisfactory.. However, the Category 3' ratings issued in the areas of Outages
-and Engineering and Technical Support are indicative-of significant. weaknesses
,.I
which shouldJreceive your careful . scrutiny. Significant aspects of the-
report are. set'forth below.
.0perator plant knowledge of routine operations and use of off normal
procedures was a strength,;although. operator unfamiliarity with Technical'
T
.
Specification surveillances' required by mode changes was a weakness.
' Management; involvement in the' Emergency Preparedness (EP) program was good
as evidenced by program upgrades, . participation in drills and training, and
good 1 facilities.- The performance resulted in a Category 1 rating in the EP
functionalfarea.
Performance in the Security functional area. declined due
to' isolated -lapses in 'some management controls and equipment related
problems. However, management is commended for overcoming many
'
.
e strike-related performance; obstacles. ..
JWeaknesses were-identified in engineering support to operations, condition of
<
balance of plant equipment, control of contractors, procedural compliance,
'
. personnel errors, root cause determination and' corrective action implementation.
'
The Outages functional area was added to this report because Clinton Power
Station was in outage conditions for 196 days of the 14 month assessment
period and because your performance merited special discussion. As mentioned
-
above,-the-Engineering / Technical' Support and Outages functional areas were
given Category.3 ratings.
Please respond within 30 days after the SALP
meeting to the Engineering / Technical Support and Outages weaknesses described
in Sections IV.F-and H of this report with the corrective actions you plan to
achieve improved performance.

For the most part, performance was observed to be good during the beginning
and end, and poor during the middle (refueling outage /EQ forced outage) of
the assessment period.
I am aware of some of your plans and programs to -
improve your performance and look forward to a detailed discussion of them in
our January 9,1990 management meeting.
From our perspective, improvements
will be needed in team work, communication and cooperation between all
L
management-levels and between management and the staff, procedural adherence,
corrective actions,. root cause determinations, engineering support to
operations, plant material condition, and control of contractors.
,
At the SALP meeting,-you should be prepared to discuss our assessments and
-your plans to-improve performance. The meeting is intended to be a candid
i
dialogue wherein any comments you may have regarding our report are discussed.
'
-You may provide written comments in addition to those required by this letter
within 30 days after the meeting.
Your comments, a summary of our' meeting,
and my- disposition of your comments will be issued as the Final SALP Report.
In accordance.with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the Initial
.SALP Report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning the Initial SALP Report, we would be
pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
