REPORT NOS. 50-269/84-31, 50-270/84-31, 50-287/84-35, 50-369/84-36,

The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board has completed
its periodic evaluation of your Oconee and McGuire facilities. These facilities
were evaluated for the period May 1,1983 through August 31, 1984. The results
of the evaluation are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Reports.
These
reports will be discussed with you at your office in Charlotte, North Carolina on
January 8, 1985.
.
The performance of your Oconee and McGuire facilities was evaluated in the
operational functional areas of plant operations, radiological controls, main-
>
tenance,
surveillance,
security and
safeguards,
refueling, quality assurance programs, and licensing activities. Additionally,
McGuire Unit 2 was evaluated in the area of startup testing.
I
The overall Duke Power Company performance demonstrated an aggressive attitude
toward nuclear safety.
It is of significant merit that both the Oconee and
'
McGuire facilities received Category 1 ratings in the functional areas of
emergency preparedness and refueling.
The performance of your Oconee facility was evaluated highly by the SALP Board.
It is a credit and reflection upon your management that major strengths were
identified in the areas of plant operations, maintenance, surveillance, emergency
preparedness, security and safeguards, and refueling.
No major weaknesses were
identified.
Management attention and involvement were ovident at your McGuire facility;
however, a major weakness was identified in the area of plant operations.
The
SALP Board expressed to me their concern that your ratingr. in the functional
areas of plant operations, radiological controls, and maintenance had declined
from those of the previous SALP assessment.
It appears that continued aggressive
management attention in these areas, as well as the surveillance functional area,
will be required to ensure satjsfactory performance.
It is noteworthy that major
.
strengths were identified in the areas of emergency preparedness, refueling,
licensing activities, and startup testing.
