Docket No. 50-461

-Illinois Power Company

ATTN: Mr. W. C.' Gerstner

Executive Vice President

500 South 27th Street '

Decatur, IL 62525

Gentlemen:

Enclosed for your review prior to our scheduled meeting on December 12, 1985,

is the SALP 5 Board Report for the Clinton Power Station covering the period

March 1, 1984, through August 31, 1985.

Your regulatory performance at the Clinton Power Station was considered to be

acceptable during this assessment period. Your performance was rated Category

1 in three areas (Containment and Other Safety-Related Structures, Piping

Systems and Supports,.and Licensing Activities). Your performance remained

Category 2 in.the other. eleven areas. .None of the functional areas received

a Category 3 performance rating. Your performance showed an improving trend

during the assessment period in five functional areas (Containment and Other

Safety-Related Structures, Piping Systems and Supports, Support Systems,  ;

Security, and Licensing ~ Activities). Your performance did not decline in any 3

functional area.

. During the assessment period, your emphasis has shifted;from construction to

preoperational_ testing and operational ~ readiness.- We have recognized

increased management attention to these activities. The Board believes that

additional management attention is warranted.in the functional areas.of

Radiological Controls,- Preoperational Testing, and Security in preparation to

receive a license for loading fuel. Continued management attention should

also be given to the followup of= allegations.

- The Board identified a perception by NRC inspectors that many initial licensee

responses and submittals contained inadequacies, errors,'or omissions, for

example:. _ requests to terminate the Overinspection Program; review and analysis

of' vendor reportable. defects; and responses .to Notices of Violations, Inspection

. and Enforcement Bulletins, and other inspector? identified open items.

Additional management attention to this perception is warranted.

'While you.will have sufficient opportunity to present your comments at the

meeting on December 12,.1985, you may also make written comments within 30 days-

. after the meeting. We will evaluate any written comments'and provide you-with'

our' conclusions relative'to~them.
