_ REGION I SALP BOARD ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

1. BACKGROUND As part of the effort to develop NRC Manual Chapter 0516, "Systematic Assessment of Licensee Perfonnance" (SALP), NRC:HQ finalized and provided to the regional offices new "Evaluation Guidance" for classification of licensee perfonnance within SALP functional areas.
2. MEETING The Region I SALP Board convened on June 19,1981 for the purpose of comparing the new evaluation guidance to the assessment criteria used by the Board during the Cycle I Assessment Period. It was detennined that the previous "Unsatisfactory" category was directly translatable into the new "Below Average" category. Further, it was determined that a previous rating of "Satisfactory" was convertible to a new rating of "Average." The Region I SALP Board members adopted the new "Evaluation Guidance."
3. ACTION The Board directed DRPI to modify Cycle 1 Assessment Period records to reflect the new rating categories by.:
a. Striking through the previous ratings, ensuring they remain legible;
b. Typing in the corresponding new rating title;
c. Attaching a copy of this decision to each docket's package; and,
d. Providing copies of the revised package to DRPI files, IE:HQ and the Resident Inspector.

g; Radwaste Management . Increased inspection effort is warranted in this area due to the number of , items of noncompliance and the licensee's history of problems in this area. Reported improvements have taken place during and after this evaluation period. In depth inspection is necessary to determine the effectiveness of the licensee's - corrective actions. ' [ Transportation Increased inspection effort is reconrnended in this area due tc licensee history -l of problems relating to management and shipment of radioactive waste. Improve-ments have reportedly taken place during and subsequent to this evaluation i period; however, detailed inspection of the licensee's prograr.: is necessary ' to detennine the effectiveness of program improvements. i jf Surveillance and Post Refuel Testing. Increased inspection effort is recomended in the areas of Inservice Inspection t (ISI) and Inservice Testing (IST) of Pumps and Valves due to the licensee's failure to implement'the IST program as required and the detailed inspection necessary to verify satisfactory completion of the licensee's first ten (10) year ISI program. '

       /2, Training Increased inspection is warranted in the area of health physics technician                                                                                     '

Increased inspection frequency of the licensee's management controls in the i Health Physics and Radw=ste areas is warranted. Thie is due to thr large number of open inspectf on items and recurrent slippage of comianent dates in these areas. In addition, the effectiveaess of the new management / staff , organization must be closely monitored.  ;

1. PLANT OPERATIONS Analysis This area is under continuous review by the RRI's. During the evaluation ,

period there have been two items of noncompliance in the operations area involving procedural inadequacies and inadequate mechanism for the issuance of mana Thers have been nine LER's in the operations area,gement instructions. four involving component failure, and five involving personnel error. There are presently eight unresolved items in the operations area. The licensee has responded in a positive manner to expeditiously correct operational inadequacies identified by the inspectors. I Conclusion - Average ' Satisfactory Performanca Board Cortrnents - l Board is in agreement with the analysis and conclusion. 1 u l { I I h i

2. REFUELING OPERATIONS Analysis The plant underwent a refueling outage during the evaluation period.

Based on the results of five inspections there were two items of non-compliance involving procedural inadequacies or lack of adherence to procedures, and three unresolved items. There were two refueling activity-related LER's during the evaluation period. Both invol'<ed personnel error. Of particular note in this area was an incident involving failure to , remove control rod interlock bypass jumpers prior to completion of l control cell fuel reload. The incident resulted from a breakdown of administrative controls and procedural inadequacies. The incident received attention from the licensee's General Office Review Board, the Plant Operations Review Committee, and the Operations Experience Assessment Committee. The licensee's proposed corrective actions on this matter were satisfactory. Conclusion Average Sa41+festory Performance Board Comments Board is in agreement with the analysis and conclusion. i I

 . 3. RADIATION PROTECTION Analysis There have been six inspections, including PAB and the Health Physics Appraisal, during this evaluation period which resulted in fourteen items of noncompliance and a civil penalty. Major areas of concern were the use of personnel not meeting ANSI N18.1 - 1971 requirements and the use of procedures inconsistent with Technical Specification require-ments. In addition to the civil penalty issued as a result of inspection 80-11, an order modifying the licensee's license was issued that requires all health physics (HP) technicians to meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI N18.1 - 1971. Increased inspection effort, due to the licensee's continuing HP program problems, was initiated by Region I for an eight week period (May 28 to August 1,1980) by assigning a resident Radiation Specialist at the site. The licensee has taken action to improve the radiation protection program including retraining of HP technicians and foremen, supplementing the site HP staff, and actively seeking additional personnel.

Conclusion Below Average Perfomance Wu+t4&f4ctor-y. BOARD COMMENTS Board recommends increased inspection effort by Region I to confirm that corrective actions already initiated are effective. t 1 l l l l , 1 s t

4. RADWASTE OPERATIONS Analysis There have been two inspections during the evaluation period, one by the FF&MS Branch and one by the pAB. Three items of noncompliance were identified by the FF&MS Branch: 1) Failure to survey to determine the amount of free standing liquid in a shipment of dewatered resin, 2) Failure to submit a Technical Specification change request for new radwaste effluent releases, and 3) Failure to maintain radwaste shipping records required by 10 CFR 71.62. The Health Physics Appraisal Team also noted that radiation pr.tection personnel had little knowledge of the new radwaste facility which was placed into operation in late 1978. In addition, the Performance Appraisal Branch identified one item of noncompliance in this area which involved failure 'to properly survey effluents released by new radwaste ventilation.

The last confirmatory reasurements inspection was conducted in May 1980.

   . No items of noncompliance were identified.

Conclusion Below Average Pe. formance -Unsatisfastery. based on present information. However in the second half of the evaluation period the '.icensee commenced a training program in this area. In addition, the iicensee has begun the implementation of organizational change which is intended to im9 rove the management controls in this area. BOARD COMMENTS board recommends increased inspection effort in this area to confirm corrective actions already initiated are effective. l l

5. RADWASTE SHIPMENT

-] Analysis In two inspections in the area of radwaste shipments, one item of noncompliance was identified. It involved delivery of licensed materials in excess cf Type A quantity to e carrier for transport without a general or specific license. In particular, the licensee did not have copies of the vendors' cask drawing referred to in the certificate of compliance. This incident occurred in December 1979. Since that time, the licensee has appointed a radwaste shipping super-visor and conducted additional training in this area. The licensee has committed to prepare procedures for each type of shipping cask handled to preclude recurrences. A recent licensee shipment inspected by Region II (80-15) at the Barnwell, South Carolina disposal facility identified no items of noncompliance. Conclusion SN8b-y. performance based on present information. BOARD COMMENTS Board recommends inspection of licensee's radwaste shipment operations within the next six month evaluation period. i

6. MAINTENANCE Analysis Two inspections have been conducted in the maintenance area during the evaluation period. No items of noncompliance were identified.

There were four maintenance related LER's, two involving personnel error, and one involving improper setting of safety relief valves on the core spray system. The licensee has developed a viable maintenance force and has committed to strengthen it even further by developing a maintenance crew devoted solely to the performance of preventive maintenance. fonclusion - gab'[otocyPerformance [ , Board Comments , i Board is in agreement.with the analysis and conclusion.

7. SECURITY AND SAFEGUARDS ,

Analysis There have been two inspections conducted by the Safeguards Branch Security Branch (PAB) during the evaluation period.Section and one inspection by th No items of noncompliance were identified. During inspection 80-08, the inspector reviewed allegations by a former guard at the plant that were published in the Asbury Park Press. The allegations could not be substantiated. The licensee has a strong security management program with apparent corporate management backing providing for responsiveness to security occurrences. Conclusion h4ctopy Perfonnance BgARDCOMMENTS Board is in agreement with the analysis and conclusion. i h I

_ ~. _ .

8. SURVEILLANCE AND POST REFUEL TESTING Analysis Three items of noncompitance have been identified by six inspections in the area of surveillance testing. Two involved inadequate actions following unsatisfactory surveillance test results. There were 31 LER's concerning surveillance testing, three of which involved failure to >erform required surveillances. One of these, failure to perform met 1y1 iodide removal efficiency on charcoal adsorbers, resulted in the third item of noncompliance in the surveillance area. This was caur,ed by failure to incorporate the requirements of a Technical Specification amer;dment into the master scrveillance schedule. The licensee has committed to conduct a review of all past Technical Speci-fication amendments to verify that revisec surveillance requirements are incorporated into the master surveilla ice schedule. This review has not yet been completed.

Additionally, one item of noncompliance (management controls) was identified for failure to implement the IST program for pu s and valves as required by ASME, Section XI. The PAB inspection (79-18 identified no items of noncompliance in the In-Service Inspection (ISI area but  ! indicated a weakness in the coordination of the licensee's program. Licensee action was in progress at that time to accumulate all available data to establish the remaining ISI to be completed to fulfill the requirements of their first ten (10) year ISI program. A pralimiriary Region I Data review subsequent to the PAB inspection, indicated that requirements were being met. . One additional item presently being evaluated by NRC:HQ is the licensee's failure to perform SBGTS HEPA filter flow distribution. This surveillance was not conducted due to HEPA filter design which has no provision for flow distribution measurements. A Technical Specification change request must be submitted by the licensee to correct this item. Conclusion - Sat [shactory Perfomance. BOARD COMMENTS Board reconnends inspection of ifcensee's ISI and IST Programs within the next six month evaluation period. O i

9. DESIGN CHANGES AND MODIFICATIONS Analysis This area has been inspected by the RO&NS Branch Nuclear Support Section, the RC&ES Branch Engineering Support Section and the PAB during this evaluation period.

13. MANAGEMENT CONTROLS Analysis Based on the results of three inspections during the evaluation  !

period there have been three items of noncompliance in the area of management controls. In addition, numerous other items of noncompliance i during this period are indicative of apparent weaknesses in the area of 4 management controls. These items have involved inadequacies in , operational procedures and lack of adherence to established procedures. The licensee has established a system for administrative and management controls. However, lack of adherence to these procedures at the lower management and supervisory levels has led to several in-cidents of noncompliance. In addition, lack of attention to detail and failure to recognize potential problem areas during periodic review and update of procedures has led to items of noncompliance related to procedural inadequacies. An additional area of management weakness is the licensee's failure to meet NRC commitment dates without notifying Region I.of date sli commitment failures)ppage. (i.e.was This matter ISTspecif!cally program implementation addressed at the and HP . April 20,1980, enforcement conference and recent performance has shown improvement in this area. The station management is aware of j the deficiencies in these areas and is taking steps to strengthen the overall systea of management controls. Included in the corrective action is an increase in the number of personnel assigned to the plant ' staff and a reorganization that will place more direct management attention to the problem &reas. Conclusion  ; Average Satisfactory Perforrance except in the Health Physics and Radwaste area. BOARD CONNENTS Board recommends increased inspection effort by Region I personnel and RRI in this area. l i l i i

14. FIRE PROTECTION Analysis *

^ There have been three fire prot:ction inspections by the RC&ES Branch Engineering Support Section and one by the PAB during i , this evaluation period. In addition the RRI routinely perfoms fire protection inspections during plant tours. Two items of non-compliance have been identifiad, both relating to combustible , materials storage on the 119 foot elevation of the reactor building. The licensee has attempted to obtain letters of agreement from fuel suppliers to provide only fire retardant fuel containers. The fuel suppliers have not complied with that request. The licensee is investigating the feasibility of perfoming a fire loading analysis , to establish acceptable quantities of non-fire retardant materials that can be safely stored in vital areas. .

9 JUL 1981 REGION _I SALP BOARD ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

1. BACKGROUND As part of the effort to develop NRC Manual Chapter 0516 "Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance" (SALP), NRC:HQ finalized and provided to the regional offices new "Evaluation Guidance" for classification of ,

licensee pe.rformance within SALP functional areas. ' l

2. MEETING l

The Region I SALP Board convened on June 19,1981 for the purpose of comparing the new evaluation guidance to the assessment criteria used by the Board during the Cycle I Assessment Period. It was determined that the previous "Unsatisfactory" category was directly translatable into the new "Below Average" category. Further, it was determined that a previous rating of "Satisfactory" was convertible to a new rating of "Average." The Region I SALP Bohrd members adopted the new "Evaluation Guidance." l

1. PLANT OPERATIONS Analysis This area is under continuous review by the RRI's. During the evaluation '

period there have been two items of noncompliance in the operations area involving procedural inadequacies and inadequate mechanism for the issuance of management instructions. There have been nine LER's in the operations area, four involving component failure, and five involving personnel error. There are presently eight unresolved items in the operations area. The licensee has responded in a positive manner to expeditiously correct operational inadequacies identified by the inspectors. Conclusion - Average Satisfactory Performance ' Beard Comnents - l Board is in agreement with the analysis and conclusion. h 0 e i i

2. REFUELING OPERATIONS Analysis The plant underwent a refueling outage during the evaluation period.

Based on the results of five inspections there wen two items of non-compliance involving procedural inadequacies or lack of adherence to procedures, and three unresolved items. There were two refueling activity-related LER's during the evaluation period. Both involved personnel error. Of particular note in this area was an incident involving failure to remove control rod interlock bypass jumpers prior to completion of control cell fuel reload. The incident resulted from a breakdown of administrative controls and procedural inadequacies. The incident received attention from the licensee's General Office Review Board, the Plant Operations Review Comittee, and the Operations Experience Assessment Comittee. The licensee's proposed corrective actions on this matter were satisfactory. Conclusion Average Sei+f44%GFy Perfomance Board Coments Board is in agreement with the analysis and conclusion. a I

 - 3. RADIATION PROTECTION Analysis There have been six inspections, including PAB and the Health Physics Appraisal, during this evaluation period which resulted in fourteen items of noncompliance and a civil penalty. Major areas of concern were the use of personnel not meeting ANSI N18.1 - 1971 requirements and the use of procedures inconsistent with Technical Specification require-ments. In addition to the civil penalty issued as a result of inspection 80-11, an order modifying the licensee's license was issued that requires all health physics (HP) technicians to meet or exceed the requirements of ANSI N18.1 - 1971. Increased inspection effort, due to the licensee's continuing HP program problems, was initiated by Region I for an eight week period (May 28 to August 1,1980) by assigning a resident Radiation Specialist at the site. The licensee has taken action to improve the radiation protection program including retraining of HP technicians and foremen, supplementing the site HP staff, and actively seeking additional pe rsonnel .

Conclusion Performance s di N y. BOARD COMMENTS Board recommends increased inspection effort by Region I to confirm that corrective actions already initiated are effective. - I e 4 l

4. RA0 WASTE OPERATIONS Analysis There have been two inspections during the evaluation period, one by the FF&MS Branch and one by the PAB. Three items of noncompliance were identified by the FF&MS Branch: 1) Failure to survey to determine the amount of free standing liquid in a shipment of dewatered resin, 2) Failure to submit a Technical Specification change request for new radwaste effluent releases, and 3) Failure to maintain radwaste shipping records required by 10 CFR 71.62. The Health Physics Appraisal Team also noted that radiation protection personnel had little knowledge of the new radwaste facility which was placed into operation in late 1978. In addition, the Performance Appraisal Branch identified one item of noncompliance in this area which involved failure 'to properly survey effluents released by new radwaste ventilation.

The last confirmatory measurements inspection was conducted in May 1980.

   . No items of noncompliance were identified.

Conclusion Below Average Performance Unsatisfastery. based on present information. However in the second half of the evaluation period the licensee commenced a training program in this area. In addition, the licensee has begun the implementation of organizational change which is intended to improve the management controls in this area. BOARD COMMENTS Board recommends increased inspection effort in this area to confirm corrective actions already initiated are effective. l I 5 e e

5. RADWASTE SHIPMENT Analysis In two inspections in the area of radwaste shipments, one item of noncompliance was identified. It involved delivery of licensed materials in excess of Type A quantity to a carrier for transport without a general or specific license. In particular, the licensee did not have copies of the vendors' cask drawing referred to in the certificate of compliance. This incident occurred in December 1979.

Since that time, the licensee has appointed a radwaste shipping super-visor and conducted additional training in this area. The licensee has committed to prepare procedures for each type of shipping cask handled to preclude recurrences. A recent licensee shipment inspected by Region II (80-15) at the Barnwell, South Carolina disposal facility identified no items of noncompliance. Conclusion S N b -y. performance based on present information.

6. MAINTENANCE Analysis 1

Two inspections have been conducted in the maintenance area during the evaluation period. No items of noncompliance were identified. There were four maintenance related LER's, two involving personnel error, and one involving improper setting of safety relief valves on the c',re spray system. The licensee has developed a viable maintenance force and has consnitted to strengthen it even further by developing a maintenance crew devoted solely to the perfonnance of proventive maintenance.

8. SURVEILLANCE AND POST REFUEL TESTING Analysis Three items of noncompliance have been identified by six inspections t in the area of survd11ance testing. Two involved inadequate actions '

following unsatisfactory surveillance test results. There were 31 LER's concoming surveillance testing, three of which involved failure to urfonn required surveillances. One of these, failure to perfonn

met 1y1 iodide removal efficiency on charcoal adsorbers, resulted in the third item of noncompliance in the surveillance area. This was caused by failure to incorporate the requirements of a Technical Specification amendment into the master surveillance schedule. The licensee has connitted to conduct a review of all past Technical Speci-fication amendments to verify that revised surveillance requirements are incorporated into the master surveillance Jchedule. This review has not yet been completed.

Additionally, one item of noncogliance (management controls) was identified for failure to implement the IST program for pu s and valves as required by ASME, Section XI. The PAB inspection (79-18 identified no items of noncogliance in the In-Service Inspection (ISI area but , indicated a weakness in the coordination of the licensee's program. Licensee action was in data to establish the r. emaining progress at ISIthat time to be to accumulate completed all the to fulfill available requirements of their first ten (10) year ISI program. A preliminary Region I Data review subsequent to the PA8 inspection, indicated that requirements were being met. , One additional item presently being evaluated by NRC:HQ is the licensee's failum to perfonn SBGTS HEPA filter flow distribution. This surveillance was not conducted due to HEPA filter design which has no provision for

flow distribution measurements. A Technical Specification change request must be submitted by the licensee to correct this item.

13. MANAGEMENT CONTROLS '

Analysis Based on the results of three inspections durin g the evaluation period there have been three items of noncompliance in the area of l management controls. In addition, numerous other items of noncompliance during this period are indicative of apparent weaknesses in the area of management controls. These items have involved inadequacies in operational procedures and lack of adherence to established procedures. The licensee has established a system for administrative and management controls. However, lack of adherence to these procedures at the lower management and supervisory levels has led to several in-cidents of noncompliance. In addition, lack of attention to detail > and failure to recognize potential problem areas during periodic review and update of procedures has led to items of noncompliance related to procedural inadequacies. An additional area of management weakness is - the licensee's failure to meet NRC coninitment dates without notifying Region I.of date sli  ! comitment failures)ppage. (i.e. IST This matter was program specifically implementation addressed at the and HP April 29,1980, enforcement conference and recent perfonnance has shown improvement in this area.
