Docket No. 50-461
Illinois Power Company
ATTN:
Mr. W. C. Gerstner
Executive Vice President
500 South 27th Street
Decatur, IL 62525
Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Drs. M. J. Oestmann
and R. B. Holtzman of this office on September 18-20, 1985, of activities at
the Clinton Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, authorized by NRC Construction
Permit No. CPPR-137 and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. D. P. Hall
and others of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
An additional
discussion was held by telephone with Messrs. F. Spangenberg and J. Wilson
on October 9, 1.985.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified during the
course of this inspection.
We are concerned with the rate of progress in laboratory program development
and the consequent delay in completion of personnel training since our previous
inspection.
The appreciable slippage from an earlier anticipated target has
reduced the opportunity for your staff to become fluent in radiochemical
analysis through on-the-job work with applicable procedures and may impact on
laboratory readiness for the projected January 1986 fuel load.
It also
increases significantly the need for detailed management oversight of these
activities during the early phases of plant operation.
Based on discussions
with your staff at the exit interview and by telephone on October 9, 1985, we
understand that a qualified radiochemistry consultant will be retained to
provide advice and assistance to the Supervisor - Chemistry in oversight of
radiochemistry activities for a period of six months after fuel load. We
further understand that this commitment will be documented in correspondence
to the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
