The Honorable J. Dennis Hastert Member, United States House of Representatives 100 Lafayette Street Ottawa, Illinois 61350
Dear Congressman Hastert:
I am responding to your letter of February 7,1990, in which'you forwarded a constituent's inquiry' concerning a reinvestigation program that had been-implemented at the LaSalle County Station that included psychological evaluations and background investigations.
We understand that the Commonwealth Edison Cem,:pany,'the utility that operates the plant at which your constituent is empicyed, has changed several: access requirements at its six nuclear sites. One change involves the use of the:
" Industry Guidelines for Nuclear Power Plant Access Authorization Programs" (NUMARC 89-01), published by the Nuclear Management'and Resources Council, Inc.
The Connission has no objection to the utility using these-guidelines'in the implementation of its access authorization program.
Commonwealth Edison Company is also staudardizing background data for the above access authorization program and for implementing the employment history requirements of NRC's fitness for-dut; rule (10CFRPart26).
The utility's program changes are intended to establish a consistent data base to facilitate exchange of background information and apply 'to all contractor employees and-newly hired Commonwealth Edison personnel.
'his should expedite future-processing of contractor access at nuclear power plant sites.
In response to the other question your constituent raised, there has not been-a change in the NRC view of the threat level with respect to U.S. nuclear plants.
I trust this response adequately addresses your constituent's inquiry.
Sincerely,
/
