Docket No. $0-333

Executive Vice President - Nuclear Generation

New York Power Authority
,
123 Main Street
White Plains, New York 10601
Dear Mr. Beedle:
Subject
Final Systematic Assessment of Licensee Perfonnance (SALP)
Report No. 50-333/92-99
This letter forwards the final FitzPatrick SALP report (Enclosure 1) for the period
April 19,1992 through April 17, 1993. The initial SALP report was forwarded to you by
our July 7,1993 letter (Enclosure 2). Our evaluation was discussed with you and other
members of the New York Power Authority at a public SALP management meeting on
July 28,1993, at the FitzPatrick Training Center. A list of principal NRC and NYPA
attendees is provided in Enclosure 3.
The NRC has concluded that the FitzPatrick plant has been operated safely and that
performance has improved in several functional areas during this SALP period. The SALP
report notes improvements in the areas of Plant Operations, Maintenance / Surveillance, and
Safety Assessment / Quality Verification sufficient to warrant an increase to SALP Category 2
in these areas.
While we noted progress in the area of engineering and technical support, the NRC remains
concerned with the rate of improvement and mixed performance in this area. As related to
you in previous correspondence, our assessment noted several examples of weak evaluations
of emergent technical concerns, weaknesses in the initial evaluations and proposed
resolutions of Fire Protection and Safe Shutdown deficiencies, and inadequacies in related
engineering management oversight and control. Your commitment, as stated at the SALP
management meeting and in your written response dated August 16,1993 (Enclosure 4), to
provide strong management attention in this area to resolve these weaknesses and sustain
improvements, has been noted.
The NRC recognizes your commitment to continued improvements in performance and
resolution of weaknesses identified during the SALP process. However, neither remarks
during the July 28,1993 meeting, nor your written response would indicate reason to modify
the NRC staff's report; therefore, no changes have been made to the report as originally
forwarded to you.
