'Our evaluation noted continued aggressive self-assessment by management,.and-

continued maturing of'the corrective action process. However, there were'in-

stances'of deviation from approved' practices and a lack of attention to detail-

swhich led to challenges to plant equipment and personnel. : Continued effort is

' warranted to ensure that a11' organization levels understand management goals

and. objectives, and consistently and meticulously ' support a conservative .

operating philosophy. '

It should be noted that NRC standards for measuring licensee performance re-

flect the. self improvement initiatives of the nuclear industry and are con-

tinually rising.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
