A.B. Davis to Cordell Rood letter dated
November 25,1992, transmitting Braidwood
Station's initial SALP 11 Report
The toforenced lettor transmittod the Initial SALP 11 Report for Braidwood
Station that summarized the station's periormance for the period of May 1,1991,
through September 30,1992. Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO) would like to
thank you for mooting with us and presenting the SALP 11 Report on December 18,
1992, as well as affording us the opportunity to provido our views on the SALP
results. This letter provides CECO s comments to the report as discussed during the *
mooting.
CECO is pleased that the Maintenanco/ Surveillance and Security functional
areas were again rated as Category 1. We acknowledge and appreciato the NRC's
recognition of improving performance in the Plant Operations, Safety
Assessment /Ouality Verification, and Engineering and Technical Suppod functional
areas. CECO remains committed to improving management effectiveness and will
continue to build upon the progress achloved.
CECO acknowledges the challenge noted in the area of Safet
Assessment /Ouality Verification regarding interdepadmontal teamwork. yManagement
is dodicated to promoting continuous improvement in the level of cooperation and
toamwork in all activities. An indication of improved teamwork was evident in the
recont Braidwood Unit 1 third refueling outage which was safely completed ahead of
scheduto and under budget.
in the area of Engineering and Technical Support, CECO is encouraged by
the NRC's recognition that improvements in the areas of engineering involvement in
day-to day oporations, monitoring of equiament oorformance and maintenanco
activhios are being made. CECO has adcressec the generic issue of oversight of the
motor operated valvo (MOV) program by formin0 an MOV Project Team. This team
will ensure that commitments anc technicalissues in their area are resolved in a
timely and offectivo rnanner, and that lessons learned at one sito continue to be
transmitted to other CECO sites.

in the Radiological Controls functional area, CECO recognizes the importance
of contamination control and its offects on plant operations and maintenance activities.
Operating and Radiation Protection personnel have been working closely to minimize the
-
i
areas that operators are required to dress out to perform routine operator rounds.
Although the amount of reportable contaminated area at Braidwood Station is
comparable to other PWR s in the industry, being less than 5% of the radiologically
controlled area (excluding containrnent), efforts continue to further reduce this number.
Additionally, a significant reduction in the number of personnel contamination events from
1991 to 1992 was observed Management remains committed to encouraging and
supporting contamination control. Efforts will continue in other areas mentioned,
including timely effluent analyses, and reducing radiation monitor failures and downtime.
As noted, the Emergency Preparedness functional area performance declined
during this period and was rated a Category 2. The corrective actions taken in response
to the concerns identified included ensuring that the required training functions were
accomplished. These actions will enable us to again achieve excellent performance in
this area.
>
CECO appreciates the efforts of the Commission in preparing and presenting
the SALP Report. We view the ratings as an affirmation of Commomwealth Edison's
commitment to excellence. We also appreciate the opportunity afforded us to provide our
views on the SALP Report. We find the SALP process valuable in assisting us in
assessing our overall performance.
Sincerely,
