ATTN: Mr. W. C. Gerstner
-Executive Vice President
500 South 27th-Street

Gentlemen:
This refers to the special operational readiness team inspection conducted
by Mr. J. W. McCormick-Barger and others of this office on December 1
through 5,1986, of activities at Clinton Power Station authorized by NRC
Operating License No. NPF-55 and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. J. S. Perry and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
[
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas excmined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
I
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice. A written response
,
'
is required.
l
The operational readiness inspection was conducted to assess the
implementation of your operational administrative program. This inspection
i
'
included an as:essment of surveillance testing, non-licensed operator and
maintenance training, and plant operations. Another inspection is planned
in the near future to assess the implementation of your quality assurance
program, and followup on previous inspection findings concerning imple-
mentation of your maintenance and design change and modification programs
identified in inspection report 461/86053(DRS). Although r.o significant
safety concerns were identified during this inspection, it did support
findings identified in our SALP 6 assessment of your performance in the area
of Quality Assurance and Administrative Controls. Several examples are
identified in this report where administrative controls were either not
being followed or did not exist to control activities that may impact plant
!
operations. These weaknesses should have been identified by your internal
l
quality programs. Your response to the SALP 6 Board Recommendations should
i
include corrective actions you plan to take to strengthen these quality and
l
administrative programs to assure that weaknesses, such as identified in this
report, are adequately addressed.
