SUBJECT:
OPPD/NRC Meeting - July 1,1987
Dear Mr. Martin:
On behalf of OPPD, I would like to thank you for the time that you and your staff spent meeting with Bill Jones and me on July 1,1987. As a follow-up to that meeting, I wov.ld like to highlight a few items that were presented.
The following provides the details of those items.
e Excellence in Operations - OPPD is committed to strive for excellence at our Fort Calhoun Station. As a part of this commitment, OPPD has estab-lished goals, objectives, and strategies in order to attain the highest level rating by INP0 prior to the year 1991.
Several programs including Performance 100%, Creating Excellence, and the Strategic Plan were implemented in order for OPPD to meet our objectives in striving for excellence in operation. These programs will be continued and personally monitored by me to ensure that the optimum benefit can be achieved.
e Manpower and Vendor Suonort - OPPD's use of vendor support is intended to cover areas of temporary demands for increased manpower, areas where special expertise is required, and other areas where vendor support is the most economical approach to perform the necessary work.
In those areas where perceived temporary need has instead resulted in a long-term requirement, we intend to replace the vendors with permanent personnel.
Tte OPPD Nuclear Production staff is presently at 365 employees, an ircrease of 64 from July 1,1986. We are on schedule to achieve the authorized staff of 397 for the division by the end of 1987, e
Maintenance Improvement - Several initiatives are planned in the maintenance area to improve overall effectiveness.
OPPD has conducted a self-assessment of its maintenance program. An Institute of Nuclear Power j
Operations (INPO) Maintenance Review and Assistance Team visit is scheduled 8708140201G{O0 05 ADOCK O pg gDR PDR gI
