Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: NRC INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/92-30 AND 50-324/92-30
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) has been
completed for your Brunswick facility.
The facility was evaluated for the
period November 3, 1991, through October 31, 1992.
The results of the
evaluation are documented in the enclosed initial SALP Report.
This report
will be discussed with you at a public meeting to be held at the Brunswick
Visitor's Center on January 14, 1993, at 1:00 p.m.
The performance of Brunswick was evaluated in the functional areas of plant
operations, radiological controls, maintenance / surveillance, emergency
preparedne u , security, engineering / technical support, and safety
assessmen . giality verification.
The assessment indicates that overall
performance in the seven functional areas remaining unchanged from the
previous assessment period. Actually, the chronology of performance was one
of a continuing decline in operational performance, a plateau of shutdown
performance and a slow improvement in recovery of the units in the most recent
months.
The performance of Brunswick declined in the early portion of the assessment
period as demonstrated by equipment problems, inadequate work controls and
coor corrective actions.
The mid-portion of the assessment period was
iaracterized by instability of the organization and lack of management
nvolvement in the resolution of problems.
Some progress has been made in
these areas during the latter part of the assessment period and there are
indications of improvement in the corporate-to-station interface.
Continued
attention at all levels of management is necessary to ensure accountability is
inculcated in the organization, management expectations and a safety attitude
is developed throughout the staff, and work processes are improved to provide
standards of quality that will result in consistency of plant operations.
Seme positive indications in the area of self-assessment were noted but these
were largely offset by ineffective management oversight of corrective actions
in response to assessment findings. The overall maintenance program continues
to be a major concern.
Large backlogs, emerging work and ineffective work
control /verificatic' continue to impede progress in this area.
