Docket No. 50-461-
Illinois Power Company
' ATTN: Mr. W..C. Gerstner
Executive Vice President
500 South 27th Street
Decatur, IL 62525
Gentlemen:
L
This refers to the special operational readiness team inspection conducted
by W. L. Forney, J. M. Hinds, B. H. Little, R. A. Kopriva, J. S. Wiebe,
p
H. A. Walker, M. P. Huber, R. M. Lerch, and M. L. McCormick-Barger of the
Region III office on March 2 through March 7, 1987, and March 30 through
April 2,1987, and a followup inspection on February 7-17,1988, of activities
at Clinton Power Station authorized by NRC Operating License No. NPF-55, and
to the discussion of our findings with Mr..D. P. Hall and others of your staff
at-the conclusion of the inspection.
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.
During the inspection period from March 2 through March 7, 1987, certain of
the activities inspected appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements.
Based upon the weaknesses identified by the operational readiness team as of
March 7,1987, NRC management concluded that they were not ready to recomend
the Clinton Power Station for a full power license. Due to the nature of this
inspection, a deliberate decision was made not to issue Notices of Violation
sc that you could concentrate on correction of the identified weaknesses.
During the. followup inspection period from March 30 through April 2, 1987, we
noted that the previously identified weaknesses had been satisfactorily
dispositioned .or adequate management initiatives had been implemented or were
being implemented to assure resolution to the remaining issues.
Subsequently,
NRC Region III management recommended that the Clinton Power Station be issued
a full power 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
Public Document Room.
