s/ s ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed Vice President s0 %b Post Office Box 767 VW M S77 gh 7 Chicago, IL 60690 Gentlemen: This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. J. E. Kohler and J. R. Waters of this office or, April 16, 1981 to May 29, 1981, of activities at Zion Nuclear Power Station authorized by NRC Operating License No. DPR-39 and No. DPR-48 and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. L. Soth at the conclusion of the inspectica. 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. No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified during the course of this inspection. During this inspection interval, as described in Paragraph 3, Summary of Operations of the encloued inspection report, the station experienced multiple system challenges leading to safeguards actuation, reactor trips and forced load reductions. We believe these challenges should be minimized, and mitigating steps on your part should be proposed where appropriate, to reduce the liklihood of unnecessary system challenger. Our Senior Resident Inspector at the Zion Station has discussed each of these events with the principal Zion site management. We request that your review to establish these mitigating steps to reduce unnecessary systc challenges, be docu- uented and made available to our inspector. We would be happy to assist you in any way with this review including meeting with you and with representatives of the office of Nuclear Reactor Regulations to discuss these steps. w nsu' M % Q 0 1
