SUBJECT:
SaiATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE
-(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-395/90-11)
The ' NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) has been
completed for your V. C. Sumer facility.
The fccility was evaluated for the
'
- period- January 1,1989 through April 30, 1990.
The results of.-the evaluation-
are documented in the enclosed Initial SALP Report.
This report will be
-
discussed with you at a public meeting to be held at the V. C. Summer facility
-on July 10,'1990 at 9:30 a.m.
- The performance of your V. C. Sumer facility was evaluated in the functional
- areas .of Plant Operations, Radiological Cont *ols, Maintenance /Surleillance.
Emergency Preparedness, Security, Engineering / Technical Support, and' Safety
1
1 Assessment / Quality Verification.
The assessment clearly indicates superior performance in the majority. of_ the.
assessment categories.
-V. C. Summer sustained- superior performance of the
-
previous period in Radiological Controls and Maintenance / Surveillance.-
Significant improvement is noted in Operations and Security.
The improvement
Lin _ Security from a Category '2 (declining) to a Category 1 is particularly-
noteworthy. ' I commend your managers and staff for attaining this level of
performance and challenge them-to achieve this same-superior performance in the
remainder of the assessment categories.
. Although not attributed to any single functional area, the staff has a concerr,-
with the large number of plant transients caused by equipment failures which
resulted'in fifteen forced outages. Management attention and involvement appear
a
to-be -; effective in that there have been no forced outages since December 2,
1989. -You also appear to be forward.looking as evidenced by improvements in
physical plant and software systems used to support pit..t operations.
It will be a continuing challenge to maintain and improve upon this level of
performance.
With regard to irrprovements, the staff acknowledges the
conservative approach you have taken in response to off-normal events and to
