Docket No. 50-456
Docket No. 50-457
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN:
Mr. Cordell Reed
Vice President
Post Office Box 767.
Chicago, IL 60690
Gentlemen:
Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting on March 14, 1966,
is the SALP 5 Board Report for the Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, covering
the period July 1, 1984 through November 30, 1985.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board assessment and
concur with their ratings.
Your overall regulatory performance at Braidwood was
considered to be acceptable during this assessment period.
Sixteen functional
areas were evaluated.
You were rated Category 1 in one area, Category 2 in
eleven areas, Category 3 in one area, and three areas were not rated.
Your
performance showed an improved trend in six areas and your rating improved from
Category 3 to Category 2 in three of these areas:
Quality Programs and
Administrative Controls Affecting Quality, Piping Systems and Supports, and
Safety-Related Components.
No declining performance trends were identified.
Housekeeping and Equipment Protection was rated Category 3, based upon Unit 1
being in the preoperational test phase where an improved level of cleanliness is
expected.
This area was not rated in the previous assessment period.
In meetings and in correspondence with you following our inspections in 1982 and
1983 we had stated that we had serious questions about the quality of work at
Braidwood and had expressed concern about the need for more aggressive CECO
management involvement in and support of the CECO QA program.
In the letter
accompanying the SALP 4 Board Report we had noted that during the last part of
that SALP period your overall regulatory performance was showing an improved
trend.
The current SALP 5 report indicates that this trend continued resulting
in improved performance particularly in the three important areas in which you
had been rated Category 3.
The results of your efforts to date and the
continuation of this level of effort will provide adequate assurance that
construction deficiencies of the past have been corrected and that ongoing work
is being properly carried out.
