Dear Mr. Owen:

SUBJECT:

DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION TEAM REPORT FOR MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION

This letter forwards the Diagnostic Evaluation Team Report for the McGuire

Nuclear Station. The evaluation was conducted by a team of NRC headquarters

and regional evaluators with team leadership and support provided by the Office

for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data over the period November 30

to December 11, 1987 and January 4-8, 1988. As you are aware, this is a

nm NRC assessment tool that is intended to provide an independent assessment

• of licensee performance, and as such, its principal focus is on safety

perfomance and not compliance with regulatory requirements. Following the

conclusion of the onsite evaluation, the findings were discussed at an exit

meeting with you and other company executives and managers on January 22, 1988.

The HRC effort involved an assessment of overall plant operation and the Duke

Power Company major programs for supporting safe plant operation at the McGuire

Nuclear Station. Particular attention was directed in the areas of engine.ering

support, operations, maintenance, testing, quality prograrns, management '

oversight and organization culture and climate.

The team concluded that the overall performance of McGuire was a solid SALP

Category 2 with an improving trend. Although the team observed a number of

strengths in Duke's organization and programs which contributed to the

improving trend, the team also identified some organizational and programatic

weaknesses, which could slow down the improvement efforts. Section 2 of the

enclosed report provides the team evaluation results which include: (1) major

findings and conclusions, (2) specific findings and conclusions, and (3) root

cause determinations. Section 3 of the report provides the detailed evaluation

findings. Some of these items may be potential enforcement findings. Any

enforcement actions will be identified by our Region II office.

.

This report is provided for your evaluation and use in fomulating and

implementing appropriate action in response to the team findings. I request

will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

to discuss them with you.
