Docket No. 50-237
Docket No. 50-249
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN:
Mr. Cordell Reed
Vice President
Post Office Box 767
Chicago,'IL 60690
Gentlemen:
Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting of January 10, 1986
is the SALP 5 Board Report for the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, covering the
period June 1, 1984 through September 30, 1985.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board assessment and
concur with their ratings.
It is my view that Commonwealth Edison Company's
conduct of nuclear activities in connection with the Dresden station shows an
appropriate concern for nuclear safety.
I would like to highlight the
following items:
1.
Performance ratings improved in the areas of Radiological Controls (from
Category 3 to Category 2), Maintenance / Modifications (from Category 3 to
Category 2), and Licensing Activities (from Category 2 to Category 1);
the performance rating in the area of Surveillance and Inservice Testing
declined from Category 1 to Category 2.
Overall regulatory performance
appears to have improved from the previous SALP period.
2.
In addition to the Category 1 rating in Licensing Activities, a Category 1
rating was also maintained in the areas of Emergency Preparedness and
Refueling areas.
As a result, we plan to reduce our normal inspection
activities in these areas. While the rating in the area of Maintenance /
Modifications improved from a Category 3 to a Category 2, we plan
continued extensive coverage, primarily because of the ongoing pipe
replacement programs at Dresden Unit 3.
3.
While the Category rating in Plant Operations and Fire Protection /
Housekeeping both remained at a Category 2 level, both were determined to
exhibit a declining trend during the assessment period.
The decline in
Operations is primarily due to an increase in personnel errors and
reactor scrams; the decline in Fire Protection / Housekeeping is due to
plant housekeeping problems and potentially significant weaknesses in
implementing fire protection requirements, which, while identified after
the close of the SALP period, reflected performance within the period.
We request that you respond to these areas describing your assessment of
the problems and your plans for improving regulatory performance.
