Gentlemen:

' cn

This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Messrs. K. R. Ridgway

and J. M. Doone of this office on December 4, 1980, of activities at the

University of Illinois Nuclear Reactor Laboratory authorized by NRC Operating

License No. R-115 and to the discussion of our findings with Messrs. Beck and

C. Pohlod at the conclusion of the inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-

compliance with NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Appendix A.

The inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the identified

noncompliance and to prevent recurrence. Consequently, no reply to this

noncompliance is required and we have no further questions regarding this

matter at this time.

We are concerned with the apparent casual review this facility change received

by members of your organization which permitted a change that could possibly

defeat the intended purpose of the safety circuit. The area of design and

change reviews will be inspected at a later time.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,

Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the

enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document

Room, except as follows.

If this report contains information that you

or your contractors believe to be proprietary, you must apply in writing

to this office, within twenty-five days of the date of this letter, to

withhold such information from public disclosure. The application must

include a full statement of the reasons for which the information is

considered proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary

information identified in the application is contained in an enclosure

to the application.
