SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION (NRC INSPECTION REPORTS N0. 50-373/86040

AND NO 50-374/86040)

This refers to the inspections conducted during the period October 8 through

November 17, 1986, of activities authorized by NRC Operating Licenses

No. NPF-11 and No. NPF-18 for the LaSalle County Nuclear Power Station,

Units 1 and 2.

The inspection identified one procedural violation and one

Technical Specification violation during the performance of a surveillance

test on the Residual Heat Removal System for Unit i on October 17, 1986.

As stated in our correspo dence to you dated December 2, 1986, the two

violations were under corsideration for escalated enforcement action. As

a result of our review ve have decided to issue one Severity Level IV

violation for the Techrscal Specification violation and request an enforcement

conf,erence on the procedural violations.

The procedure violation concerns

issues which have occurred in the past and corrective actions have not been

effective in prevent 11g their recurrence.

The subject of the violation was

failure of the contr(1 room operator to recognize off normal conditions and

failure to perform a proper second verification.

A telephone convers.ition was held between Mr. G. Wright of my staff and

Mr. Turbak of your staff and it is our understanding that February 13, 1987,

at 2:00 p.m. (CST) in the Region III office in Glen Ellyn, IL would be an

acceptable date f ar an enforcement conference. Be prepared to discuss the

actions you have taken or plan to take to prevent recurrence of these problems.

You are required to respond to this letter and should follow the instructions

specified in the enclosed Notice when preparing your response.

In your

response, you should document the specific actions taken and any additional

actions you plan to take to prevent recurrence.

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

this letter and the enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document

Room.
