Docket No. 50-341

The Detroit Edison Company

ATTN: B. Ralph Sylvia

Senior Vice President

Nuclear Operations

6400 North Dixie Highway

Newport, MI 48166

Gentlemen:

Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting of July 22, 1988, is

the SALP 9 Board Report for Fermi 2 covering the period April,1, 1987 through

March 31, 1988.

In accordance with NRC policy I have reviewed the SALP 9 Board Report and concur

with the assigned ratings. Highlights of the report are set forth below:

1. Category I ratings were given in the functional areas of Emergency

Preparedness, Startup Testing and Security.

2. Category 3 ratings were given in the functional areas of Plant

Operations, Surveillance, Engineering / Technical Support, Maintenance, and

Quality Programs and Administrative Controls Affecting Quality. Improving

trends were noted in the latter two areas. Engineering / Technical Support -

is a new functional area.

The assignment of five Category 3 ratings indicates that the Detroit Edison

Company management and personnel have not been fully effective in demonstrating

the ability to sustain improved performance above that considered by NRC to

be minimally acceptable in key functional areas. It is our view that the

numerous efforts you have taken to improve performance, although positive,

have not yet resulted in measurable, overall improvements during this assessment

period. However, as noted above, improving trends were neted in two Category 3

functional areas. You should ensure that adequate resources are dedicated to

the ongoing improvement programs ir order to obtain effective results.

,

Additionally, on July 8,1983, Region Ill advised you that Fermi 2 remains

l categorized by NRC Senior Management as a plant that requires continued close

monitoring. This was done in conjunction with a letter from the NRC's Executive

Director for Operations to your Chief Executive Officer. Consequently, continued

! vigilance on your part is necessary to achieve results. In addition, NRC will

also continue its increased attention to your facility from both headquarters

and Region III. In this regard, as it relates to the SALP process, I plan to

shorten the current SALP 10 assessment period to nine months. This shortened

SALP interval will conclude on Decer.ber 31, 1988. This will permit an additional

l opportunity to measure your results in achieving your stated goals of excellence.

While you will have sufficient opportunity to present your comments at the

-

meeting on July 22, 1988, we also solicit written comments within 30 days

after the meeting to enable us to thoroughly evaluate your comments and to

provide you with our conclusion relative to them. Additionally, you are

requested to respond in writing specifically addressing corrective actions

planned to improve your performance in each of the five areas assigned

Category 3 ratings. This response should include specific actions and dates

by which these actions will be completed.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", Part 2,

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the SALP

report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.

No reply to this letter is required at this titre; however, should you have any .

you.
