'

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

On July 6,1998, the NRC completed an inspection at your LaSalle County Nuclear Generating

' Station.- The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate operator performance in the control -

room simulator and review implementation of.the operator training portion of the station's restart

.

action plan. An additional purpose was to evaluate your plan to complete operator licensing

' i

. requirements for three individuals whose licenses are contingent upon performing reactivity '

W

manipulations.* The enclosed report presents the results of the inspection.

s

,

Operator performance in the simulator observed during this inspection was satisfactory and

improved significantly over the past 18 months._ Your efforts to improve operator training, and

. conduct additional training as part of the restart action plan have been good. The

improvements in operator performance was an indication of the effectiveness of the additional-

1

training.

=The plan for performing reactivity manipulations for three individuals with contingent operator.

- licenses was properly developed and was consistent with NRC policy. The decision not to have -

these operators perform reactivity manipulations during the initial criticality and plant heat up

demonstrated an appropriate safety focus.

. In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its

' enclosures will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room. '
