Docket No. 50-461
Illinois Power Company
ATTN: Mr. W. C. Gerstner
Executive Vice President
500 South 27th Street
Decatur, IL 62525
Gentismen:
Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting of December 8, 1988
is the SALP 8 Board Report for Clinton Power Station, covering the period
September 1, 1987 through August 31, 1988.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment
and concur with their ratings.
It is my view that your conduct of nuclear
activities in connection with the Clinton facility was acceptable.
Overall, the ratings reflect continued management involvement over licensed
activities and a generally conservative operating philosophy. Highlights of
the report are set forth below:
1.
The functional area of Security improved from a Category 2 rating
during the previous assessment period to a Category I rating during
this assessment period. This rating reflects a security program
that was conducted in an exemplary manner.
2.
All other functional areas sustained Category 2 ratings consistent with
the ratings in these functional areas during the previous assessment
pe r6d. An improving trend was noted in the Operatfotes area.
Engineering /
Technical Support is a new functional area and the previously separate
Maintenance and Surveillance functional areas have now been combined.
j
Also, the new functional area of Safety Assessment / Quality Verification
L
incorporates the previous separate areas of Licensing and Quality
Programs and Administr *
" ntrols Affecting Quality.
Although the SALP ratirgs
t.'
aibit a significant improvement from those
of the previous SALP period, a #
eve your performance during the difficult
evolution of completing power a...nsion testing and moving into commercial
operation was commendable. While the Board did not discern a conclusive trend
in functional areas assigned a rating of 2 other than in 9perations, performance
in the other five areas assigned a rating of 2 was characterized as solid and
above average. Your close attention to problems and performance is
racognized. Continuing this practice .id attending to those areas discussed
in the SALP overview should serve you sell in your pursuit of excellence.
