Gentlemen:
This forwards the report of the Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance
(SALP) for Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) Units 1 and 2.
The
SALP Board met'on October 5, 1988, to evaluate CPSES performance for the
period of September 1, 1967, through August 31, 1988.
The performance
analyses and resulting evaluations are documented in the enclosed Draf t SALP ,
Report.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment.
I
concur with the ratings.
This assessment was conducted in accordance with
the recently revised hRC Nanual Chapter 0516 with restructured functional
areas.
Because of this and also because of significant changes that have
occurred since the last SALP report, comparison with the last SALP was not
considered appropriate. However, it is my view that overall performance at
LPSES has improved markedly from the past performance.
My evaluation of the enclosed report is that performance in all areas at
Comanche Peak over the past year has been generally characterized by strong
programs, active u.anagement involvement, and a dedication to ensuring that the
correction of construction deficiencies and preparation fer operations are
executed thoroughly and conservatively. While some deficiencies in the full
implementation of Comanche Peak programs have resulted in performance ratings
which are below NRC's highest ratings, I believe that a solid foundation for
excellent performance has been established. This report is meant to be helpful
in that regard. We expect to perform the next SALP evaluation in conjunction
with an evaluation of the readiness for an operating license for Unit 1.
The rating in the security functional area received a Category 1 rating.
This
is commendable performance; however, the CPSES security plan is not in place
and, therefore, performance in implementing the plan has not yet been assessed.
It is the hkC's experience that considerable management attention is necessary
to ensure the security plan is properly irplemented and personnel are appro.
priately sensitive to security issues. The SALP assessrent also did not
include recent inspection issues (after the assessment period) concerning lost
safeguards material and other events which indicate that personnel may not be
sufficiently sensitive to security issues.

The ratings in the functional areas that primarily enveloped the construction
and corrective action programs were evaluated as Category 2 in four areas
(containment, major structures, and major supports; p' ping systems ano
supports; auxiliary systems; and electrical equipment and cables) and no
ratings were assigned for three areas (soils and foundaticns, mechanical
components, ano instrumentation) as a result of limited activity or limited
inspections.
There were no predominant strengths or weaknesses that were
corrnon to all these areas.
The functional areas of safety assessnent and quality verification, engineering
and technical support, plant operation, and mergency preparedness all received
Category 2 ratings. Concon strengths were management involvement and control,
and staffing. A common weakness was the timeliness of the analysis of, and
corrective actions for deficiencies. Manager.ent attention is necessary to
offect improvements in the handling of deficiencies.
Ratings were not assigned to the areas of maintenance and surveillance, and
radiological controls because of insufficient inspections in these areas.
A management meeting is scheduled with you and your staff on October 27, 1988,'
to review the results of the SALP report.
Within 30 days folicwing this
meeting, you are requestod to provide your concents, if any, to this effice.
Concents which you submit are not sub;ect to the clearance procedures of the
Office of lunagement and Budget as required by the Pner llork Reduction Act of
1980, PL 96-511.
A copy of your written concents will te included in the final distribution of
the SALP report.
Sincerely,
