SUBJECT: SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP)

(NRC INSPECTION REPORT N0. 50 369/97-99 AND 50-370/97 99)

Dear Mr. Barron:

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

Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) for the McGuire Nuclear Station.  ;

The facility was assessed for the period of August 13, 1995, through

March 8, 1997. The results of the assessment are documented in the enclosed

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

McGuire site on May 7, 1997, at 10:00 a.m.

l

Plant performance was assessed in four functional areas: Plant Operations.

Maintenance, Engineering, and Plant Support. Performance in the area of Plant

Operations improved to a superior level. Plant Support performance remained

at a superior level. McGuire sustained a good performance rating in the

functional area of Maintenance with a continued improvement noted.

Performance in the arca of Engineering was observed to be good. l

l

Plant O wrations superior performance was characterized by good management I

oversig1t and continued emphasis on operations ownership. Plant Support I

performance exhibited a superior level of safety performance in radiological

controls and emergency planning. Physical security performance was also

observed with superior standards for performance and timeliness in correcting

negative trends.

'

Maintenance performance was good with strong management support and

involvement. A strong improving trend was observed during the latter part of

the assessment period. Engineering performance was also good. Equipment

reliability issues resultir.g in plant challenges required your attention and

detracted from obtaining a higher category rating.

Site wide safety assessments and quality verification were strong. Effective

self assessments were noted in all functional areas. Management operating

decisions remained conservative.
