SUBJECT:

VISIT TO ILLINOIS DEPARTNENT OF NUCLEAR SAFETY AND THE LA SALLE PLANT, AUGUST 9 AND 10, 1984 Earlier this year, the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety invited NRC's review of its report pmposing to extend its prototype effluent monitoring system installed at LaSalle to the other six nuclear stations in Illinois.

MRC's evaluation was somewhat critical, feeling that it is an overkill, that the use of the data for making protective actior, recommendations is questionable--i.e., that plant conditions are far more important for making protective action recommendations.

In Illinois' response, they invited us to make a visit. This memo documents that visit.

In the meeting for NRC:

Dan Muller, A/D for Radiation Protection, NRR Charles Willis, MTEB/NRR - chief comenter on the Illinois report

A recent amendment has increased the tax to pay for the increased cost of the system and cleared the way for extending the LaSalle prototype to all the other six plants.

The IDNS staff explained the affluent monitoring system in some detail and explained how they anticipate using it in emergencies.
