Gentlemen:

i

This forwards the initial Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance ($ ALP)

Report _(50-482/90-14) for the Wolf Creek Generating Station (WCGS). The SALP.

Board met on August 14, 1990, to ovaluate WCGS's performance for the period

,

April 1,1989, through June 30, 1990. The performance analyses and resulting

evaluations are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Report.

,

In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board's assessment'and

coneJr with their ratings, at discussed below:'

i

Performance in the area of operations was-rated as Category 2.

WCGS

.

,

attained a very high operating capacity factor during the_ assessment period.

~

Although the plant operated well, continued improvement in critical

self-assessment is warranted.

I

Radiological controls was rated Category 2 with an improving trend.'

The _

'

person-rem exposure for the last several years has been notably low. This

was attained, in part, through a well -lmplemented radiological controls

pryram. Development of comprehensive procedures to support the

established program was still needed.

The areas of security and emergency preparedness remained Category 1.

i

Effective management involvement in these two areas was apparent,

j

'

The area of maintenance / surveillance was rated Category 2.

Little

'

improvement was noted in the trending program since the previous assessment

'

period.

Better control of maintenance troubleshooting activities is

needed to ensure that operators are constantly cognizant of potentially

l

changing plant conditions.

'i

Performance in the area of engineering / technical support was' rated

Category 2.

Additional programmatic controls have been implemented

identifying and resolving industry technical issues. Nevertheless,

additional effort was needed to complete the implementation of the program

cr uges.

The area of safety assessment / quality verification was rated as Category 2.

Performance in the area of safety _ assessment was generally strong; however,_

the quality verification program was not_ fully effective in identifying

problem areas and ensuring that appropriate corrective actions were taken

i

promptly to prevent recurrence,

t

Overall,'performane*, remained relatively steady during the assessment period.

Obvious irnrovement in the area of radiological controls.was noted.

Based on.

.

the SALP board's assessment, the length of the SALP peri d will r* Tin a

-

L

15-month cycle; therefore, the next SALP period will be from July 1.1990, to.
