Docket No.:50-395 Mr. Bruce D. Kenyon H

-P.O. Box 764 Mail Code'167 Columbia, South Carolina 29218

Dear Mr. Kenyon:

On June 15 16, 1993, NRC ~ senior' managers met to evaluate the nuclear : safety performance of operating reactors, fuel facilities, and other materials' licensees. The NRC conducts this meeting semiannually to determine if the safety performance of the various licensees exhibits. sufficient weaknesses to warrant increased-NRC attention.- In addition, at this meeting, senior-managers identify specific plants.that have demonstrated a level-of safety performance that deserves formal-NRC-recognition. At the June 1993 Senior-Management Meeting, the V. C. Summer' nuclear power plant.was identified as '

having achieved a high level of safety performance'and as a result met-criteria for recognition of its performance. -ILam pleased to note that-V. C.

Summer has again been identified as a good performer.-

In identifying such plants, NRC senior managers perform an evaluation of" performance in many areas including operational safety, self-assessment, problem resolution, and plant management organization and oversight.

The NRC recognizes that to ' achieve the level of performance demonstrated by the V. C. Summer nuclear power plant, there must be management involvement in all phases of plant activities, the staff must be~ dedicated and knowledgeable and fully supportive of plant activities ~, and a commitment to safety must s

exist throughout the organization.

We commend you and your staff for achieving this high level of safety performance.

Your achievement is-a positive. example to the industry.

The greatest challenge that you now face is to maintain this level of performance and not to rest on past achievements.

Continued management.

involvement and support, and dedicated efforts from your staff.to. identify and 300056 22 gg ggyg g 9307010205 930622-DR ADOCK 0500 5
