Dear Hr. Barkhurst:
.
Enclosed is the Systematic Asse sment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Report
for the Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3, covering the period
August 2, 1992, threugh October 30, 1993. We have scheduled a meeting to
.
'
discuss this repn
with you and your staff at the Waterford 3 facility
training center on December 21, 1993, at 3 p.m. (CST).
During this meeting
,
you are encouraged to candidly discuss any comments you may have regarding our
1
report. While ints meeting is considered a presentation and discussion forum
between Entargy Operations, Inc., and the NRC, the meeting will be open to any
other interested parties as observers.
Overall you continued to operate the plant safely and, it is my view, that
your conduct of activities in connection with the Waterford 3 facility was
generally strong. The basis for this performance includes your experienced,
.
stable, and well-trained staff; excellent plant material' condition; and strong
corporate support for program improvements, including peer-group evaluations.
These attributes are tempered by instances of inattention to detail, a lack of
self-checking, and corrective action system weaknesses. We noted a decline in-
management presence and visibility in the plant spaces.
These issues, as well
!
as an increase in operating events, resulted in a decline in performance in
!
the plant operations area. We noted superior performance in the areas of
maintenance and plant support. Your staff is commended for their aggressive
approach to plant aging issues, radiological control practices, and security
program implementation.
Items noted late in the SALP period involving
emergency preparedness exercise weaknesses and isolated problems with
procedural adequacy and procedure' implementation in the radiological controls
area warrant attention to ensure that superior performance is maintained in
the plant support area.
In the engineering area performance was mixed. Continued initiatives to
improve the organization by consolidation in a new, onsite facility and
streamlining the management structure were noted. These and other strengths,
such is systems training for senior managers, and a strong technical response
to identified issues' were considered superior. Engineering effectiveness at
Waterford 3 continues to mature, and a period of sustained performance

demonstrating the proactive identification of issues, including challenging
operational safety decisions, is needed to support an overall superior
performance rating.

Your attention is directed towards these challenges in the operations and
,'
engineering areas as well as providing for an appropriate level of management
presence and oversight in the plant. These considerations are appropriate to
support the continuing identification and resolution of. issues and direct
i
confirmation of the effectiveness of your improvement initiatives.

Any comments you have concerning our evaluation of the performance of your
Waterford 3 facility should be discussed at the public meeting and submittad

in writing to this office within 30 days after the meeting.
