Subject:
Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station Docket No. 50/395
)
Operating License No. NPF-12 Comments on 1987 Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance
Dear Dr. Grace:
On October 21, 1987, a meeting was held at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Training Center to discuss the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) evaluation of South Carolina Electric & Gas Company (SCE&G) for the January 1, 1986 through July 31, 1987 period. This meeting and the SALP report provided for a valuable exchange of information between SCE&G and the NRC. The meeting allowed for an open discussion of topics and concerns relevant to operations at the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station which enabled varying perspectives to be viewed by both parties. The October 9, 1987 SALP report was a well written document which accurately reflected improving performance by SCE&G in regards to the operation of its nuclear plant.
j With respect to the October 9, 1987 report, SCE&G requests several minor corrections be addressed in the final SALP Board package. These corrections are identified below:
1.
On page 10, Item 9.B.1.d should read (87-10) instead of (86-10).
I 2.
On page 17, Item IV.F.1 should indicate a total of three violations instead of the two presently identified.
Therefore a new item F.1.c should be added to reflect a severity level V violation for failure to evaluate and classify reactor coolant system leakage (87-14).
3.
On page 18, Item IV.H.1, second paragraph, major activities accomplished during the outage identified " tube removal" which was not performed.
SCE&G did perform a significant amount of work on the steam generators including tube " plug" removal; however, " tube removal" was not i
attempted.

l 4.
On page 21,. Item IV.I.1, the report. indicated that the " site engineering group appeared slightly understaffed to fulfill the increased work load j
as design work is shifting from the design consultant to plant staff."
J While SCE&G does not totally agree.with this conclusion, it-is~
understandable how that judgement.could be derived if the group is l
viewed during a particularly busy time.
I S.
On page 29. Item V.E.1.c is categorized as a Level III problem for which a civil penalty was assessed. This. Level III problem was not assessed a civil penalty due to the unusually prompt and extensive corrective action implemented by SCE&G. Therefore, the item should be listed under Item V.E.2.
6.
On page 30, Item V.1, the table should indicate two Level V violations rather than one in the area of Emergency Preparedness; therefore, the total number of Level V violations should be 8 vice 7.
Again in summary, SCE&G considers the report to have been well written and the October 21, 1987 meeting to have provided a forum for an excellent exchange of views between NRC and SCE&G management. The opportunity to provide the above comments to the SALP report is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please advise.
