MID-CYCLE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND INSPECTION PLAN -

LASALLE COUNTY STATION UNITS 1 AND 2

Dear Mr. Crane:

On August 14, 2007, the NRC staff completed its performance review of the LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 for the first half of the calendar year 2007 assessment cycle.

Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and

inspection results over the previous 12 months.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of our assessment of your safety performance during this period and our plans for future inspections at

your facility.

This performance review and enclosed inspection plan do not include security information. A separate letter designated and marked as "Official Use Only - Security Information" will include

the security cornerstone review and resultant inspection plan.

Plant performance for the most recent quarter at LaSalle County Station Units 1 and 2 was within the Licensee Response column of the NRC's Action Matrix, based on all inspection

findings being classified as having very low safety significance (Green) and all PIs indicating

performance at a level requiring no additional NRC oversight (Green). Therefore, we plan to

conduct reactor oversight process (ROP) baseline inspections at your facility.

The enclosed inspection plan details the inspections, less those related to security, scheduled through December 31, 2008. The inspection plan is provided to allow for the resolution of any

scheduling conflicts and personnel availability issues well in advance of inspector arrival onsite.

Routine resident inspections are not listed due to their ongoing and continuous nature. Of note, the plan includes a component design bases inspection, a biennial PI&R inspection, and a

triennial fire protection inspection. The inspections in the last nine months of the inspection plan

are tentative and may be revised at the end-of-cycle review.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosure will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC

Public Document Room or from the Pub licly Available Records (PARS) component of NRC's document system (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at

http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html (the Public Electronic Reading Room).

C. Crane The NRC is currently evaluating the scope and frequency of all the baseline inspection procedures. If the results of the evaluation, or any other circumstances, cause us to change the

inspection plan, we will contact you to discuss the change as soon as possible. Please contact

me at (630) 829-9628 with any questions you may have regarding this letter or the inspection

plan.Sincerely, /RA/Kenneth Riemer, Chief, Reactor Projects Branch 2
