Gentlemen:
Subject: Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-317/88-01 and 50-318/88-01
This. transmits the January 19-29, 1988 Integrated Performance Assessment (IPA)
inspection findings at the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Lusby, Maryland.'
These findings are based on our observation of activities, interviews, and
document reviews, which were discussed with you on January 29, 1988, at the
conclusion of the inspection.
The IPA inspection findings indicate that your recent initiatives have been
responsive to those issues raised by NRC in the last Systematic Assessment of
Licensee Performance (SALP) report.
In particular, the inspection team noted
the positive actions in progress to improve interfaces and communications
between departments.
However, the nature and complexity of the issues dis-
cussed in the last SALP report, as further amplified by the . findings and obser-
vations daring this inspection, indicate that continuing managet ent attention
at all levels will be required to achieve sustained overall improved perform-
ance levels.
This inspection reviewed a number of functional areas with primary emphasis on
2
the interfaces between departments.
The team found that. the interfaces were
generally functioning well, communications on emerging problems and the
coordination of daily activities were also generally good.
Plant operators
were found to be knowledgeable and professional. Several recent initiatives on
your part appear promising including the. Safety System Functional Inspection
and the follow-up activities associated with
it.
Plant safety overview
functions provided by the Onsite and Offsite Safety Review Committees were also
found to be improving, as the result of recent initiatives.
The team spent a
portion of its time looking at the management structure of your organization.
While there were only limited findings in this area, the information did assist
the
team
in understanding your organization and we have included our
observations as Attachment 2 to the Inspection Report.

The team was concerned that the key role of the System Engineers was not yet
fully developed.
It appeared that some of the issues ;dentified in the
Engineering area, such as, inaccuracies in Salt Water System surveillance
testing, could have been identified by a strong System Engineer function.
Routine maintenance activities appeared to be satisfactory but more ettention
to detail was needed in the troubleshooting and post-maintenance testing areas.
One violation was identified in the surveillance area involving temporary
changes to procedures and the lack of required reviews. Housekeeping including
cleanliness and plant material conditions was conddared to be poor in several
areas.
The strengths and weaknesses observed during this inspection are listed
in Appendices B and C respectively.
As a part of your response to this
inspection, we request that you reply in writing to the wea!.nesses identified
in Appendix C.
The apparent violation of NRC requirements is cited in Appendix A and categor-
ized under the NRC Enforcement Policy, 10 CFR Part 2, Appendix C.
A reply is
required in accordance with Appendix A.
The requirement that you reply is
exempt from clearance by the Office of management and Budget under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
Sincerely,
ggiral st;n: d E72
