A. Summary of Meeting with Illinois Power Company on December 17, 1986 | |||
The findings ar.d conclusions of the SALP board documented in Inspection | |||
Report No. 50-461/86005 were discussed with the licensee on December 17, | |||
1986, at the Region III offices in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. | |||
The licensee's regulatory performance was presented in each functional | |||
ared. Overall, the licensee's performance was found to be acceptable. | |||
The licensee was found to have a high level of performance in the | |||
l Preoperational Testing assessment area. The areas of Quality Assurance | |||
and Administrative Controls Affecting Quality, and Maintenance were | |||
found to need increased licensee management attention due to multiple | |||
weaknesses identified in controlling the turnover of systems from | |||
construction to testing and operations, following procedures, identifying | |||
and correcting problems, and in the area of maintenance of equipment. | |||
All other functional areas were found to be adequate and represented a | |||
licensee management team that was sufficiently staffed and appropriately | |||
involved and concerned with nuclear safety. | |||

B. Comments Received from Licensee | |||
By letters dated December 30, 1986 and March 17, 1987, the licensee | |||
- | |||
. | |||
i- | |||
provided written comments on the SALP report and what steps were being | |||
taken to: improve performance in the maintenance area and in quality | |||
, programs and ' administrative controls affecting quality. | |||
With regard to the SALP the licensee stated on page 2 of 8 of the | |||
December 30, 1986, memo that the NRC had incorrectly noted that IP had | |||
committed to complete action in each area prior to exceeding 5% power. | |||
The NRC's intent in the partgraphs was to have each area completed or | |||
, | |||
improved to the. extent necessary to permit licensing the plant for full | |||
power. We have reviewed the projected completion dates and found them | |||
acceptable. A change has been made to page 18 of the SALP report to | |||
reflect the intent of our statement. | |||
