~ This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. F. Maura,
M. Ring and K. Connaughton of this office on January 26-29, February 2-6,
18-20, 23 and March 6,1981, of activities at LaSalle County Nuclear Station,
Unit 1, authorized by NRC Construction Permit No. CPPR-99 and to the discus-
sion of our findings with Mr. B. Stephenson, Mr. R. Bishop and others of your
staff 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 in-
terviews 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 prevtat recurrence. Consequently, no reply to this
.
noncompliance is required and we have no further questions regarding this
matter at this time.
With regard to Item 2 of Appendix A, we found that the station's cleanli-
ness and housekeeping controls had deteriorated to an unacceptable level.
Further, this item is repetitive, since similar items of noncompliance
were identified during previous NRC inspections in 1980. During our meeting
with Mr. Stephenson on February 23, 1981, we discussed our concerns and
requested that special attention be given to this matter. Subsequently,
on March 6, 1981, we determined that the corrective actions discussed
during this meeting had been taken and that a housekeeping program was
being developed. We expect this program to meet the requirements of
10 CFR 50, Appendix B and the applicable standards and regulatory guides
that you have committed to.
Our future inspections will continue to
assess the adequacy of the housekeeping program at LaSalle County Station
during the preoperational, startup and operations phases of riant life.
The results of these inspections in this area will be considered in
determing whether escalated enforcement action may be appropriate.
