NRC ADMINISTRATIVE LETTER 98-07: Interim Suspension of The Systematic    
Assessment of Licensee Performance (SALP) Program, dated October 2, 1998 
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission is issuing this administrative    
letter to inform addressees that the NRC has suspended the SALP program  
for an interim period until the NRC staff completes a review of its      
process for assessing performance at nuclear power plants. At the end of 
the review period, the Commission will decide whether to resume the SALP 
program or terminate it in favor of another process.

Subject: PLANT RESTART AFTER FORCED OUTAGE                               

Discussion:

On September 17, 1998, the licensee shut down the reactor in order to    
replace a pressurizer code safety valve that had been experiencing       
increased leakage (PNO-IV-98-040).  On September 26, the licensee        
completed all outage related maintenance activities.  Major work         
completed during the outage included replacing the pressurizer code      
safety valves and Main Transformer B.  Because of the approach of        
Hurricane Georges, the licensee remained shut down until the hurricane   
had passed and started up after the Federal Emergency Management Agency  
had indicated that the offsite emergency response capabilities had been  
restored.  On October 2, at 11:29 a.m. (CDT), the licensee restored the  
unit to the grid.
