Gentlemen:
SUBJECT:
REPORT NOS. 50-416/85-12 AND 50-417/85-03
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board has completed
its periodic evaluation of your Grand Gulf facility. This facility was evaluated
for the period October 1,
1983, through April 30, 1985.
The results of the
evaluation are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Report. This report will be
discussed with you at your Grand Gulf Nuclear facility on July 30, 1985.
The performance of your Grand Gulf facility was evaluated in the functional areas
of plant operations, radiological controls, maintenance, surveillance, fire
protection, emergency preparedness, security, startup testing, training, quality
programs and administrative controls affecting quality, and licensing activities.

]
The level of performance of your Grand Gulf facility was satisfactory, although
j'
certain weaknesses were evident. A strength was identified in the security area,
while weaknesses during the assessment period were identified in the areas of
emergency preparedness, training, quality programs and administrative controls
i
affecting quality, and licensing activities.
The SALP Board considered it
significant, and I strongly agree, that the identified weaknesses occurred early
in the assessment period and that you subsequently demonstrated a dynamic manage-
ment attitude toward nuclear safety by the implementation of aggressive corrective
actions for each weakness.
In addition to improvement in those areas with
identified weaknesses, the Board noted that the trend of performance was improving
in the areas of plant operations, radiological controls, maintenance, surveillance,
and startup testing. No instances of declining trend were identified.
As we noted in our January 9,1985, letter to you regarding the previous SALP
assessment, the measures which you have taken to improve performance, if properly
implemented and maintained, should result in an improved performance trend leading
to higher category ratings.
Your commitment to these programs and to improved
<
performance is readily apparent and we will continue to closely monitor your
progress in these areas.
Any comments you have concerning our evaluation of the performance of your
facility should be submitted to this office within 30 days following the date of
'
our meeting at your Grand Gulf facility. We specifically request that you advise
us of actions you plan to take, or have taken, in response to each Category 3
'
rating.
Your comments, a summary of our July 30, 1985 meeting, and my
disposition of your comments will be issued as an appendix to the enclosed SALP
4
'
Board Report.
