Gentlemen:
,
This refers to the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board
1
Report for Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3.
The SALP Board met on
February 27, 1986, to evaluate the performance of your facility for the period
December 18, 1984, to December 31, 1985. The performance analyses and
resulting evaluations are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Report.
The performance of your facility was evaluated in the selected functional areas
identified in Section IV of the enclosed SALP Board Report. Caution should be
exercised when comparing performance for the current SALP period with the
previous SALP period.
Plant activities have changed from principally construction
and preoperational testing to startup testing and operations. These changes in
the focus of facility activities make direct comparison of performance in
functional areas difficult.
j
Overall, we find that your performance of licensed activities generally is
acceptable and directed toward safe facility operation.
Particular strength
was noted in the areas of Preoperational/Startup Testing, Security and
Safeguards, and Surveillance.
In addition, an improvement was noted in Emergency
Preparedness. A decrease in overall performance was noted in the area of
Quality Programs and Administrative Controls Affecting Quality, which declined
from a Category 1 to a Category 2, and Plant Operations, which . declined from a
Category 2 to a Category 3.
Maintenance was again rated Category 3 based on the
NRC findings that indicate that your maintenance program has not been properly
implemented due to weaknesses in procedural development and implementation.
It
was.noted that, at the end of the rating period,-performance' appeared to be
improving in the maintenuce area.
The board discussed at length whether the operations area should be Category 2
or Category 3 before concluding the appropriate description was Category 3.
This decision was based on the frequency of reactor trips and LERs involving
,
human error and limited corrective actions that did not appear to adequately.
identify root causes to operational problems.
You should direct specific
4
attention to the Board's recommendations in this area.
