" Transmittal of Commonwealth Edison Comment on the SALP 8 Report" NRC Docket Nos. 50-454/455 References December 30, 1989, letter from A.B. Davis to Cordell Reed Transmitting the Byron SALP 8
.5 Y Board Report No. 50-454/88012.and 50-455/88012.
Dear Mr. Davis:
With'the above referenced letter, yo'u transmitted to' Commonwealth Edison a copy of the SALP 8 report for Byron Station for the period from
' November 1, 1987, through October 31, 1988.
On January 27, 1989, representatives of Commonwealth Edison met with you and members of your staff to discuss the SALP 8 Board Report for
- Byron Station.
Commonwealth Edison appreciates the NRC's recognition of the high level of performance in the functional areas of Emergency Preparedness, Security and Maintenance / Surveillance.
We' attribute Byron performance to quality programs, attention to detail and the overall professional attitude of the Byron Station personnel.
A concern was raised during the SALP meeting, and also within the SALP report, for Byron's decline in housekeeping.
Byron Station
. acknowledges this concern and will continue efforts to improve this area.
L_s a
There are two areas of the SALP report that should be clarified.
4 The first is in the functional area of Maintenance / Surveillance. 'In this
= M i section a failure to collect a enmpensatory sample was categorir.ed as a
[ 1' missed surveillance. The sample was taken as a-result of a' Limiting Condition for Operation required by Technical Specification and not a
' co o surveillance requirement to determine operability.
A discussion was held g
with the Byron Senior Resident Inspector and he agrees that Byron did not
-g miss a surveillance during this SALP period.
O ra -
lf Secondly, in the Engineering / Technical Support functional area M
there were discussions of Environmental Qualification (EQ) concerns.
Some N
of the items mentioned are not currently identified as concerns for Byron p
Q&G Station. Discussions have taken place between Commonwealth Edison and Region III in an effort to clarify Byron's standing with regard to EQ h()
issues.
It is. expected that these communications will result in this area
(
'of the SALP report being modified.
