Subject:
Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance - Report No.
50-289/85-99
This refers to the Systematic Evaluation of Licensee Performance (SALP) at
Three Mile Island, Unit No. 1 for the period February 1984 through January
1985, initially forwarded to you .by our April 2,1985 letter (Enclosure 1).
This SALP evaluation wu discussed with you and the GPUN staff at a meeting
held in the Region I facilities on April 11,1985 (see Enclosure 2 for attend-
ees).
We have reviewed your May 7,1935 written comments (Enclosure 3) and
have made appropriate minor changes as identified in the enclosed report
(Enclosure 4).
-
Our overall assessment was .aat your staff's management continued to be
aggressive in problem resolution and involvement in promoting nuclear safety
and radiation protection.
We found improvement in shutdown plant operations,
improving from a Category 2 last assessment period to a Category 1 this assess-
ment, and continuing performance difficulties in the engineering and licensing
areas; both areas apprised Category 2.
We caution your management to remain
sensitive to factors affecting performance during changing plant operational
modes.
We acknowledge your comments on Section IV.A, Shutdown Plant Operations, and
Section IV.I, Licensing Activities, and have made corrections to clarify the
total number of Senior Reactor Operator candidatus and the source of Technical
Specification change requests necding. more attention to the significant hazard
consideration determinations. Thr.se corrections are identified with a vertical
line on pages 10c (corrected), 23c and 29c. We note your increased management
attention on: (1) assuring consistency among procedures and addressing
programmatic requirements; (2) developing n.aintenance philosophy on quality
while the quality control list is being developed; (3) implementing tne modi-
fications task force recommendations and an improved process of handling modi-
fications; and (4) coordinating the 'backlpg of licensing issues with NRR.
No reply to this letter is needed. 'loor actions in response to the SALP will
continue to be reviewed during f_uture inspections of the facility.
