SUBJECT:

SYSTEMATIC ASSESSMENT OF LICENSEE PERFORMANCE (SALP)

REPORT 50-361/97-99;50-362/97-99

Dear Mr. Ray:

Enclosed for your review is the SALP report for the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Units 2 and 3 for the period of December 31,1995, through July 5,1997. A public -

meeting to discuss this report with you and your staff has been scheduled for 10 a.m. (PDT) on August 27,1997, at the Training and Education Center at the San i Onofre facility. During this meeting you are encouraged and expected to candidly comment on our report. Although this meeting is a forum between Southern California Edison and the NRC, it will be open to observation by members of the public and other interested parties.

In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the recommendations of the SALP Board .

and concur with the ratings and views. The Maintenance and Plant Support functional areas were assigned Category 1 ratings, reflecting superior safety performance, and the Plant Operations and Engineering areas were assigned Category 2 ratings, reflecting overall good safety performance.

Overall performance in the area of Plant Operations was good, with strong performance ,

noted during plant evolutions and improved performance noted during outages. Instances l of inconsistent performance related to operator attentiveness, procedure implementation, communications, and control of field activities were noted.

In the Maintenance area, safety performance improved to a superior level due to  !

improvement in the overall material condition of the station,' reduction in the problem identification threshold, and the conduct of maintenance activities in the field. We  ;

encourage your continued efforts to improve the plant material condition and to improve performance in the areas of surveillance testing and welding.

Performance in the area of Engineering was good. Strong performance was noted in the areas of corrective actions, self assessments, and outage support, although inconsistencies were noted with management oversight and quality of engineering support to certain activities. Particularly strong performance was noted in the resolution of the degraded steam generator tube supports (i.e., eggerates) in Unit 3.

G PDR

o Southern California Edison Co. Overall performance in the Plant Support area remained superior. Radiological protection during the steam generator chemical cleaning activities was strong.

Safety assessment and quality verification activities continue to be a strength at San Onofre. You have demonstrated strong self-assessment performance by your line organizations and the Nuclear Oversight organization.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

Should you have any questions or comments, I would be pleased to discuss them with you. While no written response is required, you may provide written comments within 30 days of the public SALP meeting.

Sincerely,

/
