Mr. Cordell Reed

Dear Mr. Reed:
This letter refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by
Ms.
C. A. Gainty and Mr.
G.
D. Replogle of this office and
Mr.
T.
G.
Scarbrough of the office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
on November 2 through December 14, 1992.
The inspection included
a review of activities authorized for your LaSalle County Nuclear
Station.
At the conclusion of the inspection, the findings were
discussed with those members of-your staff identified in the
enclosed report.
The areas examined during the inspection are identified in the
report.. These areas consisted primarily of a review of the
LaSalle Motor Operated-Valve (MOV) Program established in
response to Generic Letter (GL) 89-10.
Within this area, the
inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and
representative records, observations, and interviews with-
personnel.
-
,
During this inspection, certain of.your activities appeared to be
in violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed
Notice of Violation (Notice).
The violation of
.9 CFR 50,
Appendix B,
criterion III is significant because, although no
inoperable valves were found during this inspection, the
methodology that you are using for operability determinations of
MOVs is contrary to published vendor-guidance and does not appear
to be technically justified.
The violation of 10 CFR 50.9
'
relates to your characterization of a document presented to NRC
during this it.spection, and is significant in that the NRC must
be able to rely on the accuracy of-both oral and written
communication from licensees.
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
o
recurrence.

During the inspection, you relied, in part, on a study by Kalci
Engineering for the overthrust condition of specific motor-
operated valves identified by your GL 89-10 program.
Based on
our review of the Kalci study during this inspection, and in
order for the NRC to properly evaluate your program, we are
requesting that you document your evaluation of the provisoes
contained in the study as they apply to the LaSalle Station.
This item is considered unresolved and is discussed in section
,
2.b.(3) of this inspection report.
Please provide this
>
evaluation within 60 days of your receipt of this inspection
report.
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.
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice
are not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of.
Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act

We will gladly discusa any questions you have concerning this
