Dear Mr. Cahill.
g
!
This forwards the initial report of the Systematic Assessment of Licensee
j
l-
Performance (SALP) for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) Units
+
1 and 2.-
The SALP Board met on September 19, 1989, to evaluate CPSES
'
performance for the period _of September 1, 1988, through August 31, 1989.
!
The perfomance analyses and resulting evaluations are documented in the
enclosed Initial SALP Report.
1
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment.
I
L
I concur with the ratings. This assessment was conducted in accordance
'
with NRC Manual Chapter 0516.
'
My evaluation cf the enclosed report concludes that your performance in all
l
areas over the last year has been generally characterized by strong programs,
i
,
active management involvement, and a dedication to the completion of
l
l
construction ano rework activities and preparation for plant operations are
.
accomplisneo In accoraance with NRC requirements.
Your performance continues
t
to be affectea-by deficiencies in the implementation of your programs; however,
a solid' foundation appears to exist for safe plant operation.
All of the functional areas were evaluated as Category 2.
Common strengths
!
l
were staffing and the effectiveness of training and personnel-qualifications.
I
Common weaknesses were the identification and resolution of technical issues
.
with regard to operational events and issues affecting the fuel load' schedule.
I
i
l
This indicates an inexperience in ~ confronting issues related to operational
!
l
events.
In regard to issues affecting the fuel load schedule, it appears
i
that your. organization is reacting to schedule pressures and this is affecting
!
the preparation of thorough and in-depth technical evaluation of these issues.
l
I
Management attention is necessary to correct this reaction, not only as it
relates to the present fuel load schedule, but also as it could relate to-
-
future schedule pressures during recovery from plant trips and startup *
from scheduled and unscheduled plant outages.
