SUBJECT:

DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION TEAM REPORT FOR MCGUIRE NUCLEAR STATION This letter forwards the Diagnostic Evaluation Team Report for the McGuire Nuclear Station. The evaluation was conducted by a team of NRC headquarters and regional evaluators with team leadership and support provided by the Office for Analysis and Evaluation of Operational Data over the period November 30 to December 11, 1987 and January 4-8, 1988. As you are aware, this is a nm NRC assessment tool that is intended to provide an independent assessment

• of licensee performance, and as such, its principal focus is on safety perfomance and not compliance with regulatory requirements. Following the conclusion of the onsite evaluation, the findings were discussed at an exit meeting with you and other company executives and managers on January 22, 1988.

The HRC effort involved an assessment of overall plant operation and the Duke Power Company major programs for supporting safe plant operation at the McGuire Nuclear Station. Particular attention was directed in the areas of engine.ering support, operations, maintenance, testing, quality prograrns, management '

oversight and organization culture and climate.

The team concluded that the overall performance of McGuire was a solid SALP Category 2 with an improving trend. Although the team observed a number of strengths in Duke's organization and programs which contributed to the improving trend, the team also identified some organizational and programatic weaknesses, which could slow down the improvement efforts. Section 2 of the enclosed report provides the team evaluation results which include: (1) major findings and conclusions, (2) specific findings and conclusions, and (3) root cause determinations. Section 3 of the report provides the detailed evaluation findings. Some of these items may be potential enforcement findings. Any enforcement actions will be identified by our Region II office.

This report is provided for your evaluation and use in fomulating and implementing appropriate action in response to the team findings. I request 8804130260 003400 PDR ADOCK 03000369 g PDR

Mr. Warren H. Owen gpg 8 1989 that you evaluate the report and, that as soon as appropriate, provide my office a written response. Since I have directed the NRC staff to review and followup .

the more detailed findings of the evaluation, your response to the specific l evaluation results delineated in Section 2 of the report, would greatly facili. '

tate that effort.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790(a), a copy of this letter and the enclosure will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.
