SUBJECT:
INITIAL SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE' PERFORMANCE (SALP) REPORT
l
1
This forwards the initial SALP report (50-313/93-99; 50-368/93-99) for the
Arkansas Nuclear One Station (AN0). The SALP Board met on August 9, 1993, to
-;
evaluate the performance of the facility for the period March 1, 1992, through
July 10, 1993. The performance analyses and resulting evaluations are
,
documented in the enclosed initial SALP report.
!
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board's assessment and
concur with their ratings.
Sustained excellent performance in the area of
4
Plant Operations resulted in a Category I rating; however, equipment status
g
errors were identified late in the assessment period. Good performance in the
'
areas of Radiological Controls, Maintenance / Surveillance, and
!
,
Engineering / Technical Support resulted in Category 2 ratings. Sustained
>
superior performance in the areas of Emergency Preparedness and Security
i
'
resulted in Category I ratings.
Substantially improved performance in the
.
area of Safety Assessment / Quality Verification resulted in-a Category l'
!
rating.
Improvements in this area were noted with respect to the timeliness,
'
clarity, and technical merit of ANO submittals for license amendments,. relief
requests, and temporary waivers of compliance. Self-assessments and safety
'
,
'
reviews continued to be effective, with rigorous application of root cause
analyses and human performance evaluations.
Overall, licensee performance remained at or above the levels observed in the
prior evaluation period in most functional areas. There were two. noteworthy
i
l
differences from the previous evaluation.
First was the improvement in the
!
'
Safety Assessment / Quality Verification functional area that resulted in a
Category I rating. Second was the decline in operations performance evidenced
,
!
by the equipment status errors . identified in the latter part of the assessment:
-
i
period.
'
On the basis of the SALP Board's assessment, the length of the next SALP
period will be approximately 18 months. Accordingly, the next SALP period
,
will be from July 11, 1993, to January 7, 1995.
