Gentlemen:
Subject: Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Report No.
50-289/86-99
This refers to the SALP evaluation for Three Mile Island, Unit 1 for the period
of May 1, 1986 through October 31, 1986 initially forwarded to you by our
January 5,1987 letter (Enclosure 1). This SALP evaluation was discussed with
you and your staff at a meeting held on February 24, 1987 (see Enclosure 2 for
attendees). We have reviewed your April 1,1987 written comments (Enclosure 3)
relative to the report and find that as a result of your letter, no changes to
the body of the report are necessary. However, based on your comments at the
meeting and as a result of our followup, we have made minor revisions. to
Table 8.
In your response to the SALP findings, you propose a meeting in May 1987 to
further discuss GPUN management's involvement in violation responses and your
observations related to the need for and use of procedures. My staff will
contact you to establish an agenda and date for this meeting.
Our overall assessment is that you and your staff continue to exhibit a strong
orientation toward nuclear safety, that your organization is comprised of-
highly qualified and well trained personnel, and that many of your initiatives
go beyond regulatory requirements.
Your cooperation in the SALP program is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. Murley:

Response to SALP Report 86-99
Attached is our response to the TMI-l SALP which summarizes the information
provided in our meeting of February 24, 1987. We have responded to the
significant comments or issues in each functional area.
Overall we regard the SALP process as helpful. We recognize that by design it
is largely devoted to identifying areas for improvement and our ongoing
efforts are intended to address those areas. We are pleased that you
recognize the results of our extensive efforts in the area of Plant
Maintenance (including surveillance / testing). We believe that the outstanding
plant performance is attributable to the emphasis we have placed in this
highly critical area. We believe that one key to safety is preventing
operator and equipment challenges through quality maintenance.
As discussed during the meeting, SALP reports are becoming more widely known
and used. Therefore, I believe it is particularly important that they be as
consistent as practical among plants and that NRC emphasize prominently in
each report the manner in which they can be appropriately utilized.
'
Sincerely,

RESPONSE TO SALP REPORT 86-99
l
I. Overview / Summary
The report indicates in the sections on Plant Operations, Technical
Support, and Assurance of Quality that improvements in procedure
adherence, attention to detail,' programs / policies and individual errors,
would improve overall performance. All of these areas are being
actively addressed. Specific actions have been reported to
connection with the Procedures Compliance Task Group (PCTG) and our you in
recent responses to the NRC PAT inspections, previous SALP reports, and
notices of violations.
The number and intensity of reviews by GPUN's internal review groups as
well as INP0 and NRC generate a large number of somewhat overlapping
findings and issues. We attempt.to prioritize these issues and
formulate actions which address all appropriate aspects to, assure that
our response is not fragmented and potentially ineffective. This
coordination has resulted in some cases in delayed responses which we
believe may have appeared to be weak, lack thoroughness in immediate
actions, or lack responsiveness. Overall, during the past several years
the number of open-issues and the time required to resolve them has been
decreasing.
II. P1 ant Operations
This section is critical of middle level management's influence
regarding schedule pressure and shortsighted review of events. These
insights are based on events cited as violations in Inspection
Report 86-17 (IR 86-17). Management has been a positive influence in
following procedures. We will continue to emphasize this at all. levels
of management.
n We do not believe that the plant incident report regarding HPI valve
'
mispositioning was shortsighted. As explained in our response to
IR 86-17, the operator properly selected the correct procedures.'
i
'
Further, the procedures used were selected based on good judgment and
not due to management pressure for productivity. The incident occurred
l due to individual failure to follow procedures regarding independent
l
verification which was a requirement regardless of the choice of
,
procedures. We have taken additional steps to strengthen ote program
l for independent verification. .
Regarding the adequacy of station procedures, we believe that
,
improvements have been made as a result of our restart efforts and as a
'
result of additional attention applied subsequent to NRC findings during
the previous SALP. These improvements have resulted in procedures that
are adequate and as a result are respected, trusted and used by the

operators. Findings which occurred during this SALP period do not
generally suggest significant procedural adequacy concerns. Rather,
they suggest errors _where people, design, operating conditions and/or
maintenance-do not come together correctly. We will continue to pursue
improvement:in our procedures and performance.
'This section also attributes what the NRC characterizes as " repetitive
poor responses" to lack of management involvement. We believe that
Man'agement has been involved and concurred in the responses to the NRC.
Our disagreement with the NRC should not be interpreted as lack of
involvement and is not tentative. We propose a meeting with the NRC to
-discuss these disagreements and resolve the issue of "the need for and
use of procedures." We share the goal of overall control of activities
but believe it can and should be achieved through an appropriate

of February 24, l
.
We suggest that we discuss our observations related to the need for and
use of procedures in a meeting during May 1987.
Safety review issues, are addressed in the section on Assurance of
Quality..
III. Radiological Controls
Semi Annual Effluent Report oversights have been corrected as described
in response to IR 86-19.
IV. Maintenance
GPUN has no specific comments on this section.
V. Surveillance Testing
The comments concerning emergency feedwater check valve and battery
testing have been resolved. The time required to resolve these items
was necessary for a complete understanding of the issues.
Inservice testing is addressed in the Licensing section of this response.
VI. Emergency Preparedness
"
GPUN has no specific comments on this section.
VII. Security / Safeguards
This section of the SALP report indicates that GPUN is "being too
compliance oriented." The comment appears to be based almost entirely
on not recognizing RER findings before the RER inspection. The RER
Team's special forces members identified items which involved judgments
on the degree of protection afforded. Such judgments are always

subjective'and vary based on the perspective and the experience of the
person. _ We accept their judgment and all significant items have been
addressed. GPUN has gone beyond minimum NRC requirements in many areas.
With respect to material status reports, we believe a change _ in
guidance caused the identified item. The basis for our disagreement
will be the subject of separate correspondence.
VIII. Techni::al Support ,
GPUN appreciates the NRC recognition that our modification control
program is well established and that training of engineering personnel
has improved. Areas that are currently receiving special attention to
provide further improvement include:
- Plant Engineering controlled efforts
'
- Environmental Qualification
'
- Long range planning, including outage planning
We believe our responses to the PAT inspection have resolved the issue
of support for analysis / design assumptions.
We believe that our handling of replacement-in-kind for replacement
p components is adequate. It allows for reasonable interpretation. ,
While we have observed no examples of installations of inadequate
i
equipment, Technical Functions will initiate a program of sampling
! reviews to assure that this area is being handled properly. This
program will continue until we have assured ourselves that
- replacement-in-kind process continues to operate satisfactorily.
~
i Specific Engineering review of startup test results is provided where
acceptance criteria are not met or other specific concerns indicate a
review is appropriate.-
- Drawing controls is going ahead in three areas. First, the assurance
that all work packages contain the approved drawings. Second,_ improved
maintenance of controlled drawing files. Third, improved use of the
computer database system (CARIRS). Two key factors in the above are
increased emphasis on training, especially in the areas of
i configuration control and the establishment of improved comunications.

Adequacy of EQ files has been, and will continue to be, an ongoing
effort at GPUN. Our latest efforts in this area have been reported in
conjunction with NRC Inspection 87-01.
We believe the actions / reviews discussed above will serve to correct-
any inconsistent performance within this functional area.
IX. . Training and Qualification Effectiveness
We are pleased that the NRC recognizes the extensive efforts we have
applied in this functional area.
X.- Assurance of Quality-
This section.of the SALP report largely discusses issues arising in
other SALP functional areas, primarily our safety review process and
the Corporate Procedure Task Group. We met with the NRC staff.on
February 12, 1987 and discussed these issues at length. Therefore,
they are not discussed further herein.
XI. Licensing
GPUN recognizes the need for timely licensing submittals, especially to
support major outages. The start of the outage four months earlier
than was originally planned due to exceptionally fine plant performance
resulted in the submittal of some documents much later than desired.
To help prevent recurrence, NRC submittals have been added to the Long
Range Plan to provide management attention ~and improved prioritization
for work completion and timely submittal.

With regard to Inservice Testing issues, NRC letter dated March 19,
l 1987 has closed the last of the IST issues related to Cycle 6 startup.
- ' These issues have remained open for an extended period largely because
-
'we believed at each stage we had reached a mutual understanding and
resolved the issues only to discover in NRC October 3,1986 SER that
was not the case. Further, the October 3, 1986 SER also contained new
issues that had not previously been discussed. Our proposals have not
I- been based on cost " strictly" but have been based on the belief that
existing plant information and performance review was adequate to
evaluate the performance of equipment in question. We continue to
believe our positions were appropriate and technically adequate. ,(See
also Appendix B to our response to Inspection Report 86-17 dated
March 5, 1987.)
