Docket No. 50-409

Dairyland Power Cooperative

ATTN: Mr. J. W. Taylor

. General Manager

2615 East Avenue - South

La Crosse, WI 54601

Gentlemen:

4

This refers to the NRC's Systematic Assessment of Licensee Performance-

(SALP) 6 Report for the Lacrosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR), our meeting

of October 9, 1986, which discussed in detail the contents of the report, and

your written comments dated November 7, 1986, relative to the report.

As you know, LACBWR was rated Category 1 in the area of Fire Protection in its

two previous SALP reports (SALP 4 and SALP 5). In contrast, LACBWR's SALP 6

Report (Report No. 50-409/86001, dated September 30,1986), covering the

period from January 1, 1985 to June 30, 1986, rated LACBWR's performance in

the area of Fire Protection as Category 2. As you may recall, this decline

was discussed at length during the SALP 6 meeting which was held at

Region III. During this discussion, NRC management stated that the rating

would be reevaluated for possible upgrading if LACBWR provided acceptable

justification.

By letter dated November 7, 1986, you submitted additional information to

justify upgrading your fire protection rating. Members of my staff have

evaluated the information conveyed in your letter and concluded that LACBWR's

Fire _ Protection rating should be raised to Category 1. In brief, our initial

evaluation may not have adequately accounted for certain positive factors

! which, when integrated into an'overall Fire Protection Program, warrant a

SALP Category I rating. Such positive factors include LACBWR's continued

attention to detail in its day-to-day handling of fire protection matters such

as housekeeping, its design and facility changes for implementing Appendix R

requirements, its prompt corrective resolution regarding separation of

equipment in the Cribbouse, and management's continued commitment to good fire

protection practices including prompt resolution of problem areas, as pointed

out in your letter. Even though your facility has been placed in permanent

shutdown, your commitment to a good Fire Protection Program should be

continued.
