SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION The Institute of Nuclear Power Operations (INPO) conducted its first evaluation -
of Duke Power Company's Oconee Nuclear Station during the weeks of May 25 and June 1,1981. Oconee consists of three 886 megawatt (electrical) Babcock &
Wilcox pressurized water reactor plants. The station is located on Lake Keowee -
near Walhalla, South Carolina. Unit I was placed in commercial operation in .
1973, Units II and IIIin 1974.
FURPOSE AND SCOPE
. INPO conducted an evaluation of site activities to make an overall determination t of plant operating safety, to evaluate management systems and controls and to identify areas needing improvement. Information was assembled from discus-sions, interviews, observations and review of plant documents.
'Ihe team examined station organization, training, operations, maintenance, radiological and chemistry activities and on-site technical support. Corporate activities were not included in the scope of the evaluation, except as they related to the areas evaluated. As a basis for our evaluation,INPO used its own experience on best practices witnin :ne industry and written evaluation criteria a that were furnished to the plant in advance. The evaluation standards are high, and the findings and recommendatio'ns are not limited to minimum safety concerns.

Response Summary Duke Power Company is pleased to have had INPO perform an evaluation of the ,1 Oconee Nuclear Station. INPO has confirmed previously known areas needing !
improvement and provided new ideas and information causing us to re-evaluate 9 our management systems that willlead to other improvements.
~
While programs developed and implemented at the Station have contributed to the Station's operating and safety record, INPO's evaluation has contributed .
greatly in reviewing these programs and their implementation. We intend to use the entire INPO evaluation' beneficially.
During the evaluation, the dialogue between members of the INPO evaluation
- team and members of the Station staff provided opportunity to share and discuss various approaches to management control systems. We feel we have been the beneficiary of these discussions whether they resulted in an INPO finding or not.
We appreciate the notation of " beneficial practices and accomplishments" and recognize the need for improvement in the areas listed in the Determination Section of the Summary. While it is recognized that the noted recommendations for improvements are a summary of specific findings in the body of the report, we offer the following responses to these three recommendations l
