SUBJECT:

SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE-

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-424/89-26 AND 50-425/89-30)

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Systematic Assessment of Licensee -

Performance ($ ALP) Board has completed its periodic evaluation of your Vogtle

facility for the period ' October _1,

1988, through September 30, 1989.

The

results of this evaluation are documented in the- enclosed SALP Report.

This

' report will be discussed with you at a public meeting to:be. held at your Vogtle

facilityJin Waynesboro, Georgia,-on December 14, 1989,-at 10:00 a.m.

.

The performance of your Vogtle facility was evaluatedLin the functional areas

of plant operations, radiological. controls, maintenance / surveillance, emergency

preparedness, security and safeguards, engineering / technical support,. safety

assessment / quality verification, preoperational! testing, and startup testing.

.- Although the; functional areas evaluated during this assessment period are;not

identical to those evaluated in the previous period, a close correlation can be

-

made for identifying changes.in performance.

AlthoughLimprovements in the ' level of performance in some specific areas were

' identified, ~ the composite ' of the ; ratings attained over all- of the ' functional:

areas assessed during this SALP period was comparable to the composite of those.

^

' attained during- the last SALP period. Lessons learned during startup and early

operation of Unit I were effectively- applied to Unit 2 activities.

'

L Professionalism.in the control room was a strength and management support for

operations -was

strong.

Improvements

were

noted

in_ the

areas

of

maintenance / surveillance and radiological controls.

Further -improvements in

radiological controls are expected as the plant staff gains experience.

Although'the Security Program, as defined on paper, is sound, implementation

deficiencies have -caused declining performance in this area. A decline of

performance in the emergency preparedness area was also noted. The decline in

this. area is attributed to the loss of command control and the failure to make

a timely General Emergency declaration during your exercise.

As discussed.in

the previous SALP, improvement in communications between management and the NRC

~

residents was needed. Progress has been made in this area; however, communi-

cation channels need- to be further nurtured.

Attention to detail within the

plant staff was also a source of performance short-comings.

Increased

management attention is warranted in this area.
