Dw.2t No. 50-373

Docket No. 50-374

Commonwealth Edison Company

ATTN: Mr. Warren P. Murphy

LaSalle Site Vice President

LaSalle Nuclear Station

2605 North 21st Road

Marseilles, IL 61341

Dear Mr. Murphy:

This refers to the inspection conducted by D. Hills and C. Phillips of this

office, and by J. Roman of the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety, on

August 27 through October 15, 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.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation

(Notice). This item is of concern because your corrective actions for

previous problems with radiological housekeeping and' radworker performance

were not effective in preventing this violation. We noted your actions near

the end of the inspection period to provide immediate short term improvements.

However, it is important that your final corrective actions provide permanent

performance improvement in this area.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response. In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to prevent recurrence. After reviewing your response to this

Notice, including your proposed corrective actions and the results of future

inspections, the NRC will determine whether further NRC enforcement action is

necessary to ensure compliance with NRC regulatory requirements.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed

in the NRC Public Document Room.
