Docket No. 50-344

Attention:
Mr. Bart D. Withers
Vice President, Nuclear
Centlemen:
Subject: Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance Report
Number 50-344/85-35
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board has
completed its periodic evaluation of the performance of the Trojan facility.
Your facility was evaluated for the period of November 1, 1984 through
October 31, 1985. The results of the evaluation are documented in the
enclosed SALP Board Assessment. We wish to meet with you to discuss our
assessment of your performance at your offices on January 22, 1986.
The performance of your Trojan facility was evaluated in the func:ional areas
of plant operations, radiological controls, maintenance, surveillance, fire
protection, emergency preparedness, security and safeguards, refueling,
quality programs and administrative controls affecting safety, licensing
activities, engineering and construction, and training. The SALP Board's
evaluation of your performance in these functional areas is cor.cained in the
SALP Board Assessment which is enclosed with this letter.
Overall, the SALP Board found that the performance of licensed activities was
satisfactory. We recognize that actions have been taken during this
assessment period in response to concerns expressed in our last SALP report.
While we are encouraged by these actions and the overall improved performance
of your facility during this assessment period, we also recognize that
significant problem areas continue to be identified. Disappointing examples
were identified during the recent regional team inspection'in that (1) the
impletion of quality control activities at Trojan had deteriorated over time
with the result that this area is now seriously deficient and (2) weaknesses
also exist in the administrative control of temporary modifications.
The Board perceives that continued improved performance can only be achieved
as a direct result of strong management involvement in,- and awareness of, all
aspects of the operation of your facility. Further, senior management must be
acutely sensitive to indications of problem' areas and extremely self-critical
in their assessment of identified weaknesses. We strongly encourage you to be
alert for signs of complacency at all levels of your organization.
In the
specific area of Quality Assurance, we recommend that you ensure that the
importance of Quality Assurance is well understood by all personnel in the
Nuclear Division and strongly' supported by your managers and supervisors.
