Gentlemen:
This forwards the report of the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Perfonnance
(SALP) for hkansas Nuclear One, Units 1 and 2.
The SALP Board met on
August 16, 1988, to evaluate ANO performance for the seriod of January 1,1987,
'through Jure 30, 1988. The perfonnance analyses and resulting evaluations are
documented in the enclosed SALP Board Report.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment and
concur with their ratings. Since this assessment was conducted in accordance
with the recently revised NRC Manual Chapter 0516 with restructured functional
areas, direct comparison of some of the performance ratings in this report
with those in past SALP reports is not appropriate. However, while some
apparent weaknesses were identified, it is my view that the overall
performance at ANO has continued on an improving trend.
Tiie following
ipecific areas merit highlighting:
1.
The ratings in the functional areas of Plant Operations and Radiological
Controls continued the Category 1 performance from the previous SALP
period. This indicates strong individual performance as well as
'
effective management involvement in these areas.
2.
The rating in the functional area of Emergency Preparedness improved to a
Category 1 from a previous Category 2 rating.
Increased management
involvement has been effective in this area.
3.
The rating in the functional area of security improved to a Category 2
from a previous Category 3 rating. Management attention, initiatives,
and involvement with security matters has improved, and I encourage
l
continued emphasis on this area.
4.
The remaining three functional areas of Maintenance / Surveillance,
Engineering / Technical Support, and Sofety Assessment / Quality Verification
all received a Category 2 rating. A coninon theme through these areas was
weaknesses in root cause evaluations, narrow corrective actions, and
ineffective communications between maintenance and engineering.

the SALP period, program changes were implemented in these areas and you

during the present SALP period.
5.
A decline in the timeliness and quality of licensee submittals in
response to NRC initiatives and for license amendments was noted during
this SALP period. Significant improverrant is needed in this area.
