Docket No. 50-461

Illinois Power Company

ATTN: Mr. W. C. Gerstner

Executive Vice President

500 South 27th Street

Decatur, IL 62525

,

Gentlemen:

This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Messrs. Jeff Holmes,

Joseph Ulie, Harvey Thomas, and Rudy Hodor of this office on April 28 through

June 6,1986, of activities at Clinton Nuclear Power Plant authorized by NRC

Construction Permit No. CPPR-137 and Materials License No. SNM-1886 and to the

discussion of our findings with Mr. J. Perry at the conclusion of the onsite

inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during the

inspection including inspector in-office review. Within these areas, the

inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and representative

records, observations, and interviews with personnel.

During our inspection we determined that the majority of the features of the

fire protection program were complete at the time of the inspection visit,

although, implementation of your fire protection administrative controls has

yet to be fully implemented.

In addition, certain other fire protection

features which appeared once completed were observed incomplete due to

additional plant modifications such as removal of structural steel, sprayed on

fire resistive material, unsealed penetration openings in designated fire

barriers and fire doors having been found in the held open position.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in

noncompliance with NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Appendix. A

written response is required. Further, as mentioned in this and a previous

inspection report, in addition to the specific deficiencies identified in the

Notice of Violation which are of concern, of equal importance to the NRC is

your control in ensuring proper installation and maintaining of the fire

protection features at the Clinton site.

In your response to the Notice of

Violation, please address the underlying cause that resulted in a second

progrannatic breakdown of not ensuring the proper fire protection features

were installed as required by your Materials License.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Conmission's regulations, a copy of

'

this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed

in the NRC's Public Document Room.
