Docket No. 50-461

Illinois Power Company

ATTN: Mr. W. C. Gerstner

Executive Vice President

500 South 27th Street

Decatur, IL 62525

Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Messrs. T. P. Gwynn,

P. L. Hiland, F. J. Jablonski, and J. M. Ulie of this office on February 24

through April 7,1986, of activities at Clinton Power Station authorized by

NRC Construction Permit No. CPPR-137, and to the discussion of our findings

with Mr. J. S. Perry and others of your staff at the conclusion of the

inspection.

The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during

the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective

examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and

interviews with personnel.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation

of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice. A written response

is required.

During the inspection exit meeting, members of your staff voiced disagreement

with the NRC's position that a requirement had been violated. We have reviewed

this matter thoroughly and believe the violation is valid. Further, as mentioned

to you during our April 1, 1986 management meeting, we are concerned that changes

have been made to procedures / programs such as tagging, design changes, and the

Maintenance Work Request system without adequate review. We believe additional

steps are required by you to ensure that changes being made do not dilute the

quality of established programs.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosures will be plac.ed in the NRC Public Cacument Room.
