Gentlemen:
SUBJECT: REPORTNOS.50-32h86-42AND50-366/86-42
The NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Board has
completed its periodic evaluation of your Hatch facility.
The facility was
evaluated for the period July 1,1985, through December 31, 1986. The results
of the evaluation are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Report
(Enclosure 1).
The report will be discussed with you at your offices in
Atlanta, Georgia, on March 31,1987 at 1:00 p.m. (EST).
\\
The performance of your Hatch facility was evaluated in the functional areas of
plant operations, radiological controls, maintenance, surveillance, fire
protection, emergency preparedness, security, outages, training, quality
programs and administrative controls affecting quality,
and licensing
activities.
The overall performance of Hatch was satisfactory.
We have noted the
reorganization of site management and the stationing of a Vice President at the
site as an effort to improve plant performance at Hatch.
Improvements have
been noted in the functional areas of fire protection, emergency preparedness,
and training.
Improvements in training have been especially noteworthy.
In the functional area of maintenance, our inspections have revealed that
Georgia Power Company has expended considerable resources in the upgrading of
programs in the maintenance area to improve performance.
These programs
include improved training for workers, procedures upgrade, and predictive and
preventive maintenance. In addition, reorganization and management changes at
Hatch indicate that improvements in maintenance are being aggressively pursued
by Georgia Power Company management. Although increased management attention
and extensive program improvements have been observed, our observations also
indicate that the upgraded programs have not yet been fully implemented at the
working level. We recognize that improvements take time to be fully effective
and we recommend that increased management attention continue to be focused on
the maintenance area.
Performance in the functional area of security was less than desired and
management attention should be increased in this area.
The number and
repetitive nature of the violations in the security area indicated a programma-
tic breakdown; however, improvement was seen during a regulatory ef fectiveness
review inspection of this area at the end of the assessment period,
