Dear Mr. Reed:

Enclosed for your review, before our schedulea meeting of December 18, 1992, is the Initial SALP 11 Report for the Braidwoed Station, covering the period May 1, 1931 through September 30, 1992.

.

in accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Auessment and concur with their ratings. It is my vien that your conduct (,f nuclear activities in connection with the Braidwood facility was good.

Specific areas I would like to highlight are:

1. The areas of maintenance / surveillance, and security retained Category I ratings.

2. lhe areas of plant operations, and safety assessment / quality verification improved with Categt,ry 2.Im) roving ratings. A significant factor in the improved ratings was the statdown risk program, which has resulted in the elimination of shutdown risk associated events during this period.

3. The area of-engineering and technical support improved and was rated Category 2 improving during this assessment period. Improvement was noted in many areas, most notably in the involvement of engineering in day to day operations, monitoring of equipment performance.and maintenance activities. Management challenges will be to address

problems in the motor operated valve program and to sustain improvement '

initiatives.

4. The area of radiological controls retained a Category 2 rating, improvements in the areas of staffing. ALARA trogram, and radiological chemistry laboratory proficiency were offset ay the impact of contaminated areas on operator roundx and worker contamination control practices.

5. Performance in the area of emergency preparedness declined during this period and was rated Category 2. The lower rating was due primarily to

,

training deficiencies caused by the failure to fill the EP trainer L . position in a tiuely manner, and the. failure to identify technical-bdOh(M '
