Dear Mr. DelGeorge:
This refers to the inspection conducted by D. Hills and C. Phillips of this
office, P. Louden and H. Simons of the Division of Radiological Safety and
Safeguards, and by J. Roman of the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, on
July 13 through August 27, 1993. The inspection included a review of
authorized activities for your LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2,
facility. At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were discussed
with those members of your staff identified in the enclosed report.
Areas examined during the inspection are identified in the report. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examinations of procedures
and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observation of
activities in progress.
Based on the results of this inspection, certain of your activities appeared
to be in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of
Violation (Notice). The first violation was a failure to perform effective
corrective actions. This was of concern because quality control inspectors
were inadequately performing independent inspections of work and management
was unable to promptly correct this problem. The second violation was a
'
failure to tape down hoses and cords stretched across contaminated area
boundaries in accordance with station procedures. This was of concern because
of poor radiological housekeeping noticed on several recent plant tours.
I
also note that radiological housekeeping concerns have been identified several
times in the past with ineffective long term corrective actions. This matter
needs aggressive management action on your part.
We are also concerned with the lack of planning during the establishment of
your new Operational Support Center.
Increased attention is warranted in the
Emergency Preparedness area to ensure that the recent performance decline does
not continue.
1
You are required by 10 CFR 2.201 to respond to the enclosed Notice of
i
Violation.
However, you-have taken actions to correct the first violation and
,
prevent recurrence, and those actions were reviewed during this inspection.
