SUBJECT:
PLANT PERFORMANCE REVIEW (PPR) - CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION-
Dear Mr. Peterson:
?
On October 15, 1997, the regional staff completed the semiannual Plant Performance Review (PPR) of Catawba Nuclear Station.
The staff conducts these reviews for all operating nuclear power plants to develop an integrated understanding of safety performance. The results are used by regional
-management to facilitate planning and allocation of inspection resources. The PPR for Catawba Nuclear Station involved the participation of all technical t
divisions in evaluating inspection results and safety performance information for the period March September 1997.
PPRs provide regional management with i
a current summary of-licensee performance and serve as inputs to the NRC Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) and senior management meeting (SMM reviews.
This letter advises you of our planned inspection offort resulting from the Catawba Nuclear Station PPR review and the general time frame of planned inspections plus the exact dates of team inspections, it is provided to minimize the resource impact on your staff and to allow for scheduling conflicts and personnel availability to be resolved in advance of inspector arrival onsite.
The enclosure details our inspection plan for the next six
- months, Individual inspections are identified by the month (s) in which we intend to conduct the inspection.
Exact dates are not provided for non-team inspections because experience has proven that we must often change dates as the result of higher priority requirements and conflicts at your site or other sites. You will be contacted three six weeks prior to individual inspections i
to confirm dates. The rationale or basis for each inspection outside the core ins)ection program is provided so that you are aware of the reasons for emplasts in these program areas.
Resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature.
The NRC's general policy for reactor inspections is that each. ins)ection shall i
be announcedt except when announcing the inspection could reasona)1y 1
compromise the objectives of the inspectors. Therefore some specific l
inspections, such as in the security and radiological protection areas, may_
not be announced.
As part of the regional initiative inspection program we plan to conduct followup ins six months. pections of fire barrier penetration seal issues during the next
-The issutts are discussed in Information Notice (IN) 88-04, of w

Seals,guate Qualification and Documentation of Fire Barrier Penetration "Inade and IN 88 56, Potential Problems with Silicone foam Fire Barrier Penetration Seals." The specific plants that will be inspected have not yet been determined. We will notify you separately if the inspections are scheduled at your facility in the next 6 months.
We will inform you of any changes to the inspection plan.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 404 562-4510.
Sincerely.
