~ SUNECT: ' SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE
'(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-424/89-26AND50-425/89k)
.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRCF Systematic Assessment of Licensee
, Performance (SALP1 Board has completed i .', periodic evaluation of your Vogtle
i
b
-facility for the period October 1.1988. .through September 30, 1989.
The
l
'
results of this evaluation are documentec in the enclosed SALP. Report.
This
report will be discussed with you'at a pub N meeting to be held at your Vogtle
"
facility in Waynesboro; Georgia on December 24, 1989, at 10:00 a.m.
l
t
T
The performance of your Vogtle facility was evt uated in the fur.ctional areas
!
'of plant operations. radiological controls, maint' nance / surveillance. emergency
I
l
4
,
preparedness. security and safeguards
engineering / technical support, safety
!
assessment / quality verification, preoperational testing, and startup testing,
.
t
Although.the functional areas evaluated during this assessment period are not
i
1
' identical to those evaluated in the previous period, a close correlation can be
'
.
'made'for identifying changes in performance.
l
The overall level of performance attained during this SALP period is comparable
!
- to that of:the last SALP period.
Lessons learned during startup and early
operation of Unit I were effectively applied to Unit 2 activities.
Professionalism in the control room was a strength and management support for
,
operations was strong.
Improvements have been noted in the areas of main-
i
,
tenance/ surveillance and radiological controls.
Further improvements in
radiological controls are expected ~ as the plant staff gains experience.
!
Although. the Securit.y Program. as defined on paper, is sound, implementation
deficiencies have caused declining performance in this crea.
A decline of
i
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.
