Docket No. 50-266
Docket No. 50-301
Wisconsin Electric Power Company
ATTN:
Mr. C. W. Fay
Vice President
Nuclear Power Department
231 West Michigan, Room 308
Milwaukee, WI 53201
Gentlemen:
Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting of July 1,1986, at
10:00 a.m. in the Region III office is the SALP Board Report for Point Beach,
Units 1 and 2, covering the period October 1, 1984 through March 31, 1986.
In accordance with NRC Policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment and
concur with their ratings.
It is my view that Wisconsin Electric Power Company's
conduct of nuclear activities in connection with Point Beach continues to
demonstrate a high level of concern for nuclear safety. Specific areas I would
like to highlight for your attention are:
1.
The improvement in maintenance from a Category 2 level to a Category 1
level is indicative of management involvement at all levels.
This is
evidenced by the units' high availability, low number of Licensee Event
Reports and the smooth completion of complex modifications.
2.
In addition to maintenance, Category I ratings were earned in the areas
of Plant Operations, Surveillance, Security, Outages, and Training and
Qualification Effectiveness.
3.
Performance in licensing activities declined from a Category 1 to a
Category 2 rating. Additional management attention should be directed to
the tracking of completion dates for modifications, submittals and
schedular requirements to ensure adequate time for staff review of licensee
actions.
4.
The recent degraded vital area barrier event was evidence of inattentiveness
to detail and should be reviewed to assure it is not indicative of a
declining trend in the security category.
While you will have sufficient opportunity to present your comments at the
meeting on July 1,1986, we also solicit written comments within 30 days after
the meeting. Upon receipt, your comments will be thoroughly evaluated and we
will then provide you our conclusions relative to them.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the SALP
Report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room,
