Gentlemen: -

This forwards the_ initial Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP)

Report (50-285/90-24) for the Fort Calhoun Station (FCS) The SALP Board met on

June 13, 1990, to evaluate FCS's performance for the period May 1, 1989, through 3

. April 30, 1990- The performance analyses and resulting evaluations are

,

'

documented in the enclosed initial SALP Board Report.

1:

In accordance with~NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board's assessment and

-concur with their ratings,.as discussed below:

1., The performance in the' functional area of operations was rated Category 2

with an improving performance trend evident during this assessment period.

l _The improved perf_ormance in this functional area was attributed to the

performance of the operations staff toward safe operation of the plant.

,

2.- The functional area of' radiological controls was rated Category 1. This

l- represents an imp"ovement from the r evious Category 2 rating. Strong i

management overs'.ght_and the. implementation of a comprehensive radiological

L

protection prog'am were evident in this functional area.

-3. The functionei area of :raintenance/ surveillance was rated Category 2 with

an improving'performai.ee trend. Performance improvement was the result of

L the initiation of programs that, when fully implemented, should enhance

'

the overall performance in this functional area,

t 4. The functional area of emergency preparedness was rated Category 2.

I

Weaknesses.were identified during_ evaluation of the annual emergency

l exercise that had been previously identified which is an indication that

l , more effective corrective actions need to.be implemented.

l- ,5. The functiona.1 area of security was rated Category 2 with an improving

b performance trend. Programs had been established to address the ongoing

problems identified in this functional area. Effective implementation-of

the programs should provide the necessary elements for an increased

performance level.

~6. Performance in the functional area of engineering / technical support was

rated Category 2. The systems engineering organization was noted as

making a positive contribution to the overall safe operation of the plant.

Weaknesses were identified with the technical content of system,-

maintenance, abnormal, and emergency operating procedures.

7. The functional area of safety assessment / quality verification was rated

Category'1, which is an improvement from the previous Category 2 rating.

The~ improved performance in this functional area was attributed.to the

development of programs that establish a sound basis for the overall

improvement in the areas that affect safe plant operation and to the

increased level of' attention and oversight displayed by senior management.

Overall,. licensee performance reflects the initiation of efforts in all

functional: areas to increase the' facility performance level and enhance plant j

safety. Based on-the SALP Board's assessment, the length of the SALP. period ,

! has been increased from a 12- to a 15-month cycle; therefore, the-next'SALP 1

period will be from May 1, 1990, to July 31, 1991. j

-A management meeting has been scheduled with you and your staff at 1 p.m. on '!

L July 26, 1990, at'your emergency operations facility in Omaha, Nebraska, to j
