SUBJECT:
SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP)
(INSPECTION REPORT NOS. 50-325/97 99 AND 50 324/97 99)
Dear Mr. Hinnant:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed the Systematic
Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) for the Brunswick Steam Electric
Plant's Units 1 and 2.
The facility was assessed for the period of May 14,
1995, through May 24, 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 Brunswick site on July 11, 1997, at 1:00 p.m.
Plant performance was assessed in four functional areas:
Plant Operations,
Maintenance, Engineering, and Plant Support.
Brunswick sustained superior
performance in the functional areas of Plant Operations and Maintenance.
Plant 0)erations superior performance was characterized by good management
oversig1t through control of daily plant activities and a clear understanding
management expectations. Maintenance performance was also superior with
record setting plant availability, well managed outages, and low maintenance
backlogs.
Engineering performance was rated good.
Problems in the modifications area
and in the implementation of corrective action program.s including the
Environmental Qualification area program detracted from a higher category
rating.
Engineering support to operations showed significant improvement.
Plant Support was rated good but performance had deficiencies in control of
collective radiation dose and control of radioactive contamination.
Security
performance had some deficiencies in the area of fitness for-duty and access
authorization.
Safety assessment and quality verification performance was mixed.
Management
made conservative operating decisions and self-assessments often identified
issues, but corrective actions were not always carried out effectively.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of
j
this letter and its enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
