SUBJECT:
SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP)
!
(NRC INSPECTION REPORT NO. 50-302/96-99)
Dear Mr. Beard:
The Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) for the period
t
September 17, 1995, through October 5, 1996, has been com)leted for Crystal
River.
The results of the assessment are documented in t1e enclosed SALP
report, which will be discussed with you at a public meeting at the Crystal
River Site on December 2. 1996, at 12:30 p.m.
At the meeting, you should be
prepared to discuss our assessment and any initiatives that address our
concerns and challenges identified in the SALP report.
Overall performance at the facility continued to decline from the previous
assessment period as evidenced by reduced performance in operations.-
1
engineering and plant support.
Self-assessments and quality assurance
functions have been only minimally effective across the functional areas.
Weakness-in management oversight has contributed to problems, and
organizational interface controls did not assure team work and organizational
cooperation.
Operations performance declined from good to acceptable as a result of
continuing problems.
Management initiated corrective actions late in the
period in response to enforcement actions, and sone improvement has been noted
in problem identification.
Maintenance performance was sustained at a good
level, but issues from the previous assessment period persisted, an indication
of inability to implement effective corrective actions.
Plant support was
unable to sustain past superior performance, and the area was assessed as
good.
Emergency preparedness remained at a superior level of performance, but
>
performance in some of the other sub-categories of this functional area
exhibited weaknesses.
Engineering continued to decline: this represents two consecutive assessments
J
of performance decline in this functional area from superior performance to
approximately acceptable cver a two year span.
Management has initiated
extensive corrective actions which remain to be demonstrated as effective.
The recent decision to shut down the unit to effect engineering evaluations of
questionable safety systems * margins was prudent. Some improvement was noted
in problem identification, but tnis was offset by relatively poor performance
in root cause analysis and corrNtive actions.

The common threads running through the assessment that contributed to the
decline in performance are weak management oversight, ineffective self-
assessment, insufficient quality assurance involvement and an insensitivity to
regulatory requirements.
The newly revised corrective action plan
conceptually has addressed the weaknesses, but proof of performance
improvement will be in the implementation of the proposed actions, which
requires the immediate and full attention of both management and staff
You are requested to respond to this letter in writing within thirty days.
This response should address the weaknesses in the engineering and operations
,
functional areas.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions or comments. I would be pleased to discuss them
with you.
Sincerely,
,
