Trend: The SALP Board has also categorized the performance trend in-

'

-

-each functional area rated over the course of the SALP assessment

period., The categorization describes the general or prevailing tendency

(the performance gradient) during the SALP period.

The performance

trends are defined as follows:

Improved:

Licensee performance has generally improved over the course

of the SALP assessment period..

'

Same:

Licensee performance has remained essentially constant over

the course of the SALP assessment period.

Declined:

Licensee performance has generally declined over the course

of. the SALP assessment period.

.

,

t

procedures is excellent. Operator's knowledge and awareness of

plant' status.is also very good. Operating units routinely'run

, ,,

with few alarm status lights.

During the assessment period,.

~

there were'long periods;in which fewer than four alarms were'

'

'

,

' illuminated for operating units.

Plant management has also

acted to minimize the amount of traffic in the control room by

moving the master'out of service board from the control room to

the shift engineer's office, and limiting access to the control

,

,

room'to one route.

Congestion in the control room caused by-

'

excessive amounts of. unnecessary personnel has been reduced

^

during the period.,

,

An increase in the number of reported partial ESF actuations

was observed during the assessment period.

This.has been

attributed to the revisions to-10 CFR 50.72 and 50.73 which

,became effective January 1, 1984. Most of these events would

not have been' reportable in'the,last assessment period.

Individual operator performance is viewed as very good, during

abnormal plant transients.

In addition, the resident

.

'

' inspectors routinelyfobserved startup and shutd wn evolutions

'.

Land found operator performance to be very good.

However

.several events occurred which can be traced back to individual

operator. or supervisory error, indicating the need for improved

performance during times'other than: routine startups and

shutdowns and abnormal' transients.

,

-

_

During this assessment period:there were 21 Deviation Reports

'

L(DVR's) involving personnel error. LThese vary 'in safety

significance and there does not seem to be any trend toward

increasing or decreasing personnel errors.

Nine inspections,were conducted during this assessment period,

J

'by Region III: specialists.1 The inspections included radiation

-

,

protection, radioactive waste management, TMI Action Plan.

Items,~ environmental protection, radiochemistry, and

confirmatory measurements. The resident inspectors also

reviewed this area during routine' inspections.

Four violations-

'

,

,.

were identified as follows:

.

~

'

1(a)' Severity Level:V - Unauthorized transfer of four low

'

,

activity americium'-241 sources to the Byron Station

-

-

(Inspection Reports No. 295/84-08; 304/84-08).

,

,

,

(b)'. Severity Level IV - Failure to adequately. evaluate.

,

radiation dose rates during work on the reactor head'

(Inspection Reports No. 295/85021;-304/85022).

,

'(c) ; Severity Level IV - Failure to make a required report

'

after exceeding the quarterly. technical specification

liquid radwaste release design' objective (Inspection

.

'

Reports'No. 295/85034; 304/85036).

'

,

,

.

(d) Severity Level V - Alpha counter not rescud from service

-

after failing quality control QC performance checks

q

(Inspection Reports No. 295/85030; 304/85031).

These violations are indicative of minor programmatic

-

breakdowns in the areas of radiological evaluations (surveys),

'

'

byproduct material controls. technical specification reporting

,

. requirements, and counting room quality control (QC).

Although

licensee corrective actions have been timely in most cases,

,

_

. survey problems were also evident during the previous two

.

assessment periods.

Licensee-staffing has generally improved during this assessment

period. Two technician and two professicnal staff positions

wera added.

The staffing levels appear adequate to properly

establish acceptable radiation protection controls during

station operation and to provide sufficient oversight of

contracted radiation protection technicians during outages.

LThe~ radiation' protection and chemistry staff turnover rate,

<

which has been quite high in the past, has stabilized.

This

'

s .

. stability appears to have' helped the licensee improve

'

performance in the area of radiological controls, although

r

j

. experience levels on the average remain quite low. 'A recent

reorganization has added an additional layer of management

'between the Radiation Protection Manager (RPM) and the Station

Manager; this is: generally an undesirable change from the

. attributable'to feedwater system control problems (feed pump-

A preventive maintenance (PM) program was initiated early in

L~'l

-The program includes a computerized list _of PMs which is used

The

,

licensee has encountered'some difficulty integrating this

IM and

electrical maintenance (EM) PMs are managed separately.

Because the program'is new and is not fully implemented, its

2.

Conclusion

The' licensee is' rated Category 2 for this assessment period.

The licensee was rated Category 1 in the past SALP period.

The Category 1 rating for the previous SALP is now considered

to have been too high due to information about maintenance

management controls gained during the current SALP period.

In addition, the trend in the NRC and industry is toward

increasing efforts to significantly improve maintenance

practices.

The lower rating is based primarily on poor

enforcement history resulting from procedure control problems.

Management controls, especially in the area of procedures,

were improving.

Following'the problems identified in the July 1984 inspection

the licensee took steps.to standardize the procedures.

-

• '

. equipment, methods of data reduction, etc. employed by all '

<

Commonwealth Edison Nuclear Stations.

This process is still in

'

Lprogress; however the licensee is no longer performing CILRT's

of short duration (less.than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />) using unapproved data

reduction methods. :The licensee has also obtained the

appropriate equations and graphs from the flowmeter manufacturer

.to ensure proper use of correction factors when required.

t

.

-These' actions continued to be effective as demonstrated by

'

.

the successful completion of a CILRT in September 1985.

'

An in-depth inspection of the licensee's program for inservice

.

,

,

testing of pumps and valves was performed by a Region III

o=

specialist. ' Except for the violations noted above, the

licensee had fully implemented the inservice testing program

and was conducting testing in accordance with appropriate

a

schedules and approved test procedures.

Determination of

Joperability was made in a timely fashion; however, the licensee

did'not-have administrative procedures in place regarding the

"#

,

implementation and documentation of the practices and methods

used for the inservice testing program.

The violations and
