SUBJECT:

STATUS OF ILLIN0IS POWER COMPANY'S IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE AND THE NRC STAFF'S REVIEW SCHEDULE l

i

In response to your July 10, 1985 letter requesting the status of the imple-mentation and review schedules for completion of certain specified items,

, the following information is provided.

1. Water Level Measurement System Improvements

.As you are aware. Illinois Power Company (IP) has committed to provide separate Class IE power sources for each of the fuel zone water level measurement channels. Supplement 5 to the Clinton Safety Evaluation Report (Section 7.5.3.1, Conformance to Regulatory Guide 1.97) which is '

currently anticipated to be published in September or October, proposes a license condition to be incorporated into the operating license that requires this modification to be completed prior to startup from the first refueling outage. As you are aware, an instrumentation and control system audit, which was to include water level instrumentation, was previously scheduled to be performed by the NRC Staff July 29 through July 31. This audit has now been postponed, and a new date has not yet been identified.

2. Safety Parameter Display System (SPDS)

IP has stated that the dynamic simulation tests on the SPDS will be per-formed and the test results submitted to the NRC Staff by October 4, 1985.

The Staff has tentatively set October 22 and 23,1985, for the dates of the SPDS audit. Depending upon the dynamic simulation test results, the audit may not be performed. However, if the October audit is cancelled, the staff will review the SPDS during its emergency response facility audit which will be scheduled sometime after the issuance of the low power license and before issuance of the full power license.
