Subject: Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP)

l The NRC Region I SALP Board has reviewed and evaluated the performance of activities associated with Limerick Generating Station, Unit 1, for the period December 1, 1984 through January 31, 1986 and Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Units 2 and 3 for the period April 1, 1985 through January 31, 1986. The results of the assessments are documented in the enclosed SALP Board Reports.

A meeting to discuss the assessments will be scheduled for a mutually acceptable date.

As indicated by the enclosed assessments, we have observed a marked contrast in overall facility performance between the Limerick and Peach Bottom sites.

In its review the SALP Board noted that the programs at both sites are essen-tially similar, acceptable and fundamentally sound; however, we note an apparent inconsistent implementation of these programs at the two sites, with much poorer results at Peach Bottom. We attribute this contrasting perfor-mance to the different direction given by the plant managers regarding how the programs are used and integrated into site activitie Specifically, the poor work practices observed, the procedural non-adherences, inattention to detail, and the defensive attitude toward NRC-identified problems reflect a serious management deficiency at the Peach Bottom site.

In contrast, the major activities at Peach Bottom associated with primary system piping replacement and other hardware modifications did not reflect the shortcomings referred to above. We attribute this good performance in the area of Refueling / Outage Activities, and the favorable Category 1 rating, to the fact that the work was planned, directed and executed in close coordination with your engineering department. Engineering support historically has been a strength of the Philadelphia Electric Company.

In order to understand better the perceived management deficiencies at Peach Bottom, and how they affect the safe operation of the plants, we will conduct an in-depth team inspection in the near futur PDR ADOCK 0500
