i SUBJECT: SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP) i'

j .(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-338/97 99 AND 50 339/97-99)

! Dear Mr. O'Hanlon:

! The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed the Systematic l

Assessment of. Licensee Performance (SALP) for the North Anna Power Station, j

The facility was assessed for the riod of December 25, 1994, through l

January 11, 1997. The results of he assessment are documented in the

i-

enclosed SALP report which will be discussed with you at a public meeting at

the North Anna site on March 6, 1997, at 1:00 p.m. ,

{

!- North Anna plant performance was assessed in four functional areas: Plant 1

Operations Maintenance, Engineering, and Plant Support. Performance in Plant

-

Operations, Maintenance and Plant Support remained superior. Performance in

7

Engineering was considered good.

' Plant Operations superior performance was characterized by strong command and

control of lant operations including transients and strong ownership of plant

systems alt ough an increase in the number and significance of operator errors

' has been noted. Maintenance superior performance was characterized by strong

management suport, excellent planning, and high-quality work- Plant Support .

4

continued to x superior in all of the sub functional areas: radiological

controls, emergency planning, physical security,- and fire protection. i

Engineering performance was good with strong management oversight and control 'l

of major projects. Instances where the facility was operated different.ly than-

described in the licensing basis as a result of facility modifications,

'

failure to assure the design basis was incorporated in some procedures, and

l- programmatic deficiencies with Maintenance Rule implementation detracted from j

j- a higher category rating.

,

i Safety assessment and quality verification activities were considered to be

j superior. Plant management consistently made conservative operating

decisions. Management Safety and Review Committee activities were effective

and self critical. When problems were identified resulting from a

reorganization of the Quality Assurance Department, corrective actions were

effective in restoring assessment activities.  !
