SUBJECT:

PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIF.W (PPR)- QUAD CITIES STATION

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

On October 21,1997, the NRC staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Quad Cities Station. The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. The results are used by NRC management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources. The PPR for Quad Cities Station involved the participation of all technical divisions in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period March 1997 through September 1997. PPRs provide NRC management with a current summary of licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) and senior managament meeting (SMM) reviews. The results of the PPR for Quad Cities determined that the station has been dealing with significant issues with fire protection and implementation of the maintenance rule, and had difficulty in properly resolving issues with Appendix G testing and emergency diesel generator air start motors, in addition, the initial deliberations of SALP 14 were considered in the inspection planning.

This letter advises you of eJr planned inspection effort resulting from the Quad Cities PPR review. It is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arriv:1 onsite. The enclosure details our inspection plan for the next 6 months. The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the core inspection program is provided so that you are aware of the reason for emphasis in these program areas. Resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
