i

report is limited to the identification and resolution of technical issues.
Further inspection and/or investigation activities will be conducted to
i
determine compliance with regulatory requirements and the extent of possible

I
separate from this report.

Subsequent to preparation of the attached report, plans were made to hold
i
a meeting with organizations who had provided the. Region III ~ staff with
specific allegations that had been referred to them. ^During a telephone
conversation with a representative of the Government.. Accountability Project
j
on July 15, 1982, the Regional Administrator was advised that the staff
s
i
had been provided with information regarding.the' Heating, Ventilation and
i
Air Conditioning (HVAC) Company's work at LaSalle.
Such information had
not been pursued during the special inspection.

It was subsequently learned that on May 3,
1982, an individual came to
the Region III office with allegations regarding operations of the HVAC
Contractor. His allegations were considered by the staff to be general in
nature and primarily directed at the company's activities at the Midland
site.
Subsequently, he provided specific records to the Region III staff.
These were reviewed, and identified for followup at a later date.
Separately, another individual had been contacted by the staff who also
claimed to have allegations regarding the HVAC Contractor's activities at
LaSalle.
(This individual's name had been provided to the staff during a
June 2,
1982 meeting in the Region III office.) However, the only written
information received by Region III from this individual pertained to
problems at the Midland site, and no information was received by telephone
or in writing specific to LaSalle. Consequently, the special inspection,
as documented in the attached report, did not include any review of the
HVAC Contractor's activities.
Following a review on July 16, 1982, of the information received earlier,
it is our conclusion that no reason exists to preclude the LaSalle Unit 1
from going beyond zero power. We plan to pursue the details further, and
will report our findings in a subsequent report.
If our further inspection
identifies problems of safety significance, appropriate regulatory action
will be taken.
In conclusion, it is the staff's view that LaSalle Unit 1 can be operated
above zero power. This recommendation is being made to the Office of
Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
It should be clear, however, that no action
en your part is authorized until NRR has appropriately amended your operating
license.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's
Public Document Room.
