SUBJECT:
LASALLE INSPECTION REPORT 50-373/99007(DRP); 50-374/99007(DRP)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On April 2,1999, the NRC completed a Restart Operations Assessment Team Inspection at
your LaSalle facility. The purpose of the inspection was to evaluate the readiness of plant
hardware, plant staff, and management programs to support a safe restart and continued
operation of LaSalle Unit 2 while maintaining safe operation of Unit 1. The inspection team
performed assessments in the areas of operations, surveillance testing, and engineering. The
Inspection effort included continuous control room observations during a 72-hour period. The
team focused on those processes and programs which could affect safe reactor startup and
dual unit operation. The team also observed surveillance activities, performed plant system
walk-downs, and evaluated problems and associated corrective actions identified by various
oversight organizations.
Through observation of routine operating and testing activities, we concluded that essential
facets of safe plant operat'ons were being effectively implemented. Control room operations
activities such as communications, command and control, shift tumovers, and overall operator
knowledge and awareness of plant conditions and equipment were determined to be
acceptable. We also noted that the observed surveillance test activities were properly
implemented. The Restart issues Review Committee and Nuclear Oversight were determined
effective in evaluating the plant's restart readiness.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that two violations of NRC
requirements occurred. The violations are being treated as Non-Cited Violations (NCVs),
consistent with Appendix C of the Enforcement Policy. The NCVs are described in the subject
inspection report. If you contest the violations or severity level of the NCVs, you should provide
a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your denial, to
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington,
DC 20555-0001, with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region lil, and the Director, Office of
Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
