Discussion

A brief summary of the Systematic Appraisal of Licensee Performance

(SALP) Program was presented to explain the basis and purpose of the

evaluation.

The NRC Region I evaluation board meeting was discussed, including the

appraisal period, performance data and the results of the board's evaluation.

(See Appendix 1 and Attachments 1 and 2.)

The licensee's overall performance was considered acceptable although eight

areas will receive increased inspection effort by Region I to determine

the effectiveness of the licensee's program improvements in those areas.

These eight areas of concern were identified to corporate and site manage-

ment.

Areas where the NRC considers that additional program improvements

are warranted were also identified.
