SUBJECT:

SENIOR REACTOR ANALYST SITE VISIT

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

. This refers to a meeting conducted by the Region lli Senior Reactor Analysts (SRA) at the LaSalle Nuclear Power Station on September 22 and 23,1999. The purpose of the visit was to meet with your Risk Manegement staff to discuss your initiatives in the risk area, and to establish a dialog betw:,en the SRAs and your Risk Management staff. Also discussed were your specific risk insights and risk tools used at the plant. A special focus of the site visit was to discuss risk impacts of the upcoming Unit 2 refueling outage.

As you are aware, the Nuclear _ Regulatory Commission is transitioning to a risk-informed framework for its inspection and oversight program for commercial nuclear power plants. The new program will focus our inspections on activities and systems where potential risks are greater using site-specific PRA insights. The meeting between your staff and our risk analysts

. provided a basis for better agreement on the importance of issues on which we will routinely.

interact during the risk-informed inspection and oversight program.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.

If you have any questions regarding this meeting please contact me at (630) 829-9700.

Sincerely, Original Signed by John A. Grobe John A. Grobe, Director Division of Reactor Safety f g Docket Nos. 50-373; 50-374 License Nos. NPF-11; NPF-18 See Attached Distribution DOCUMENT NAME: G:DRS\LAS10049.WPD '
