'

Dear Mr. MacFarland:
'
On October 1,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your Clinton Nuclear Power Station.
The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection. No violations of NRC requirements
.
were identified during this inspection.
-

This inspection was an examination of activities conducted under your license as they relate to
'
radiation safety and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the
conditions of your license. The inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures
)
and representative records, observations of work in progress, and interviews with personnel.
'
Specifically, the inspection focused on your staffs radiological planning and oversight of the
emergency core cooling system suction strainer modification. The inspection also reviewed .
your staff's actions on previous inspection findings in the areas of radiation protection and
chemistry.
We observed some improvement in your radiological planning and oversight of plant activities.
Specifically, your staff performed a thorough evaluation of radiological conditions and controls
associated with the modification of the emergency core cooling system suction strainers.
During the evolution, we observed good teamwork and communications between the work
I
- organizations.
t
. We also noted an improvement in the chemistry staffs adherence to c.7pling and quality
control procedures. In certain cases, your staff also implemented necessary changes to
programs and to procedures to address previously identified performance issues; we will
assess the effectiveness of these changes as they are fully implemented. Although we
recognize these accomplishments and the improvement in radiological protection performance
discussed above, we will continue to critically monitor your performance to ensure that these
j
improvement efforts were not isolated instances, that the improvements continue, and that the
accomplishments result in sustained, improved performance in both radiation protection and
1
chemistry.
