INTRODUCTION

The Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) program is

an integrated NRC staff effort to collect available observations and

data on a periodic basis and to evaluate licensee performance based

upon this information. SALP is supplemental to normal regulatory

processes used to ensure compliance to NRC rules and regulations.

SALP is intended to be sufficiently diagnostic to provide a rational

basis for allocating NRC resources and to provide meaningful guidance

to the licensee's management to promote quality and safety ~ of plant

construction and operation.

An NRC SALP Board, composed of staff members listed below, met on

June 27, 1985, to review the collection of performance observations

and data to assess the licensee's performance in accordance with the

guidance in NRC Manual Chapter 0516, " Systematic Assessment of

Licensee Performance." A summary of the guidance and evaluation

criteria is provided in Section-II of this report.

This report is the SALP Board's assessment of the licensee's safety

performance at Fermi Unit 2 for the period October 1,1984, through

June 30, 1985.

II. CRITERIA

The licensee's performance is assessed in selected functional areas

depending whether the facility is in a construction, pre-operational

or operating phase. Each functional area normally represents areas

significant to nuclear safety and the environment, and are normal

programmatic areas.

Some functional areas may not be assessed because

of little or no licensee activities or lack of meaningful observations.

Special areas may be added to highlight significant observations.

One or more of the following evaluation criteria were used to assess

each functional area.

1.

Management involvement in assuring quality

2.

Approach to resolution of technical issues from a safety standpoint

3.

Responsiveness to NRC initiatives

4

Enforcement history

5.

Reporting and analysis of reportabic events

6.

Staffing (including management)

7.

Training effectiveness and qualification.

However, the SALP Board is not limited to these criteria and others

may have been used where appropriate.

Based upon the SALP Board assessment, each functional area evaluated

is classified into one of three performance categories. The definition

of these performance categories is:

Category 1: Reduced NRC attention may be appropriate. Licensee

management attention and involvement are aggressive and oriented

toward nuclear safety; licensee resources are ample and effectively

used so that a high level of performance with respect to operational

safety or construction is being achieved.

Category 2:

NRC attention should be maintained at normal levels.

Licensee management attention and involvement are evident and are

concerned with nuclear safety; licensee resources are adequate and

are reasonably effective such that satisfactory performance with

respect to operational safety or construction is being achieved.

Category 3: Both NRC and licensee attention should be increased.

Licensee management attention or involvement is acceptable and

considers nuclear safety, but weaknesses are evident; licensee

resources appear to be strained or not effectively used so that

minimally satisfactory performance with respect to operational

safety or construction is being achieved.

Trend: The SALP Board has also categorized the performance trend

I

in each functional area rated over the course of the SALP assessment

period. The categorization-describes the general or prevailing

tendency (the performance gradient) during the SALP period. The

performance trends are defined as follows:

i

Improved: Licensee performance has generally improved over the

,

course of the SALP assessment period.

!

.Same:

Licensee perfarnance has remained essentially constant

over the course of the SALP assessment period.

Declined: Licensee performance has generally declined over the

course of the SALP assessment period.

III. SUMMARY OF RESULTS

Overall, the licensee's performance was found to be acceptable and

showed an improving trend. The licensee was found to have aggressive

management attention and a high level of performance in the areas of

Emergency Preparedness, Fueling, and Preoperational and Startup Phase

Testing. Performance in the Fire Protection area was found to need

increased management attention as well as maintenance of the current

increased NRC staf f attention during subsequent inspections.
