i This report presents an evaluation by NRR of the Washington Public Pow-i Supply System insofar as its licensing activities of Wasnington Nuclee hd j

Project, tinits 1 and 41 It is intended to provide the NRR input to the

=

g L~

SALP_ review process,as_ described in HRC Manual Chapter 0516.

The rew m e

i i

covers the period July ;l,1981 *hrough July 31, 1982, f

b i

[

h The basic approach used,for this evaluation was for the Project Manager to J

p conduct a review #fvtll? records of meetings and correspondence with the

]

f p

facili.ty. The:ProjectiManager was personnaly involved in all meetings an ;

j j

y NRR1 correspondence except Generic Letters.

Other NRR Divisioni did not 5aw

(

b

' sufficient interaction with the 9roject to provide any basis for input to 4

this; evaluation. Therefore, the input is based entirely on the Project r

Manager _'s review. To?the limited extent practicat, a matrix was developed p:

3 U

to facilitate an overall evaluation of the facility's performance.
