Docket No. 50-295
Docket No. 50-304
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN: Mr. L.O.- DelGeorge, Vice President
Nuclear Oversight and Regulatory Services
Executive Towers West III
1400 Opus Place, Suite 300-
Downers Grove, IL 60515
Dear Mr. DelGeorge:
Enclosed for your review,_before our scheduled meeting of February 18, 1993,
is the Initial SALP 11 Report for. the Zion Nuclear Generating Station, '
covering the period November 1, 1991, through November-30, 1992.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP. Baard Assessment and
concur with their ratings. lit is my view that your conduct of nuclear
activities _in connection with the Zion facility was good.
During this assessment period, overall performance continued t_o improve. This
-
improvement resulted from effective station management, resource allocation to
.
the station, and the development and implementation of your improvement'
programs. Improvement in three functional. areas is noteworthy. Specific
highlights of the report are as follows:
1. The Plant Operations area retained a Category 2 rating. Staffing levels.
and operator response to events were excellent. -Improvement in-the
-
areas of inter-departmental communications and' shutdown risk assessments
were offset by the recurrence-of operator-person.nel~ errors.
2. The Radiological Controls area ' retained a Category: 2 rating.- In the
middle of the SALP cycle, problems.-were identified during the unit 1-
refueling outage. Additional management attention and corrective
actions were applied:in preparation for the current unit 2 refueling
outage, which commenced near the- end of the SALP period. As a result of
these. actions: radiological controls -and performance during this outage
have-improved. Your water quality program continues to be:a strength.
3. The Maintenance / Surveillance area improved to.a Category 2 rating this
assessment per_iod. - Improvement was noted in many areas, most notably-
planning and scheduling, increased preventive maintenance, and a
reduction in the corrective maintenance backlog. -Management challenges-
will be to address problems in the foreign material exclusion program,
re-work tracking, and reducing excessive leaks in plant systems.

4. The Emergency Preparedness area improved to a Category I rating. This
improvement resulted from strong station and corporate emergency
planning staff. Your onsite emergency response facilities.and training
program became a strength during this assessment period.
5. The Security area improved to a Category 1 rating. Management
effectively allocated and utilized resources to implement-the security
program. This coupled with an excellent staff and equipment
effectiveness contributed to your successful performance.
6. The Engineering / Technical Support area retained a Category 2 rating.
Some improvement was noted, most notably technical staff and site
engineering organization involvement in plant activities and the
strengthening of the site engineering organization. However, increased
management attention is needed in the areas of temporary alterations to
the plant, post-maintenance or post-modification testing, and initial
licensed operator training.
7. The Safety Assessment / Quality Verification area retained a Category 2
rating. Your additional management attention resulted in broad
improvements at the station. Areas of continuing challenge include
adequate technical review activities by the onsite review committee as
well as the quality of licensing submittals,
The NRC will continue to monitor your improvement programs. -The most
significant of these will be activities related to the forthcoming dual-unit
outage where you will be addressing many long-standing material and equipment
problems.
At the SALP meeting, you should be prepared to discuss our assessments. The
meeting is intended to be a candid dialogue wherein any comments you may have
regarding our report are discussed. Additionally, you may provide written
l comments within 30 days after the meeting. Your comments, a summary of our l
meeting, and my disposition of your comments will be issued as the Final SALP
Report.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the Initial
SALP Report will be'placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning the Initial SALP Report, we would be-
pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
