Gentlemen:

Subject: Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP)

Board Report No. 50-293/87-99

Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting of August 25, 1988,

is the SALP Goard Report for Pilgrim Nuc? ear Power Station covering the period

February 1, 1987 through May 15, 1988.

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

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

1.

Category 1 performance rating was assigned to Engineering and

Technical Support which continued strong performance through the

assessment period.

2.

Category 2 ratings were given in the functional areas of Surveillance,

Fire Protection, Security and Safeguards and Assurance of Quality

dCknowledging Boston Edison Company's extensive efforts to upgrade

performance from the previously assigned Category 3 ratings.

3.

Category

3

Improving

rating was

assigned to the Radiological

Controls functional area.

The assignment of the Category 3 improving rating indicates that improvement in

the organization, programs and performance were noted in the Radiological

Controls functional area.

However,

in our view, the results of

these

initiatives were coming to fruition at the close of the assessment period, and

had not yet demonstrated the ability to sustain improved performance.

Additionally, on July 8,

1988, Region I advised you that Pilgrim remains

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

monitoring and demonstration of programs which establish and

implement

performance improvements.

This was done in conjuction with a letter from the

NRC's Executive Director for Operations to your Chief Executive Officer.

We

recognize the progress demonstrated to date as a result of your extensive

efforts, however, continued vigilance on your part is necessary to achieve and

sustain overall results.

NRC will also continue its increased attention to

your facility.

In this regard, we will conduct an assessment team inspection

l

to further measure the effectiveness and readiness of your management controls,

l

programs and personnel to support safe restart of the facility.

Further, I

plan to shorten the current SALP assessment period to permit an additional

!

opportunity to measure the results of your programs,
