Dear Mr. Schwencer:

By letter of July 10, 1984, Bechtel Power Corporation submitted a proposed Independent Design Review Program Plan simultaneously to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and Illinois Power (IP).

It is hereby requested that the NRC review and approval of the Plan be conducted in accordance with our discussions-during the public meeting of June 28, 1984.

Illinois Power will respond promptly to NRC comments to assure an early acceptance of the Program Plan. If you have any further questions in this regard, please telephone either me or J. D. Geier.

Dear Mr. Dick:

Ue have reviewed the IDR Program Plan (Rev. 0) transmitted by C. L. Parkinson's letter of July 10, 1984.

Requested Claritications and Modifications (1) At the meeting on June 28, 1984, the NRC indicated that its recent Integrated Design Inspection (IDI) for the River Bend Nuclear Station resulted in some findings with respect to the design work of Reactor Controls Incorporated (RCI). Please expand the IDR to include consideration of whether the findings have any relation-ship to RCI's work at Clinton, and, if so, whether such findings have been appropriately taken into account at Clinton.

(2) Page 3 of the Program Plan (including footnotes 1, 2 and 3) and Appendix A refer to the original versions of the Independence Criteria, Protocol, Personnel Questionnaire and Agreement Concerning IDR. Please update the Progran Plan and Appendix A by:

(a) Replacing the Protocol in Appendix A with an updated version that substitutes " Director, Division of Licensing, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation" for " Regional Administrator," wherever that term appears.

(b) Modifying page 3 of the Program Plan (including footnote 1) to refer to the Independence Criteria provided in Enclosur 2 of the letter from the NRC dated June 22, 1984.

(c) Confirming that the Personnel Questionnaire and the Agreement Concerning IDR will be modified to reflect the foregoing Independence Criteria.

(3) At the top of page 5, the Program Plan identifies a number of aspects of the design of each system that will be covered by the review. Please confirm that the review will also cover the fluid system aspects of the design of the system (see page 1 of Attachment 2 of May 31, 1984, letter).

(4) Please state clearly that the reviews to be performed under the Program Plan will be broad enough for Bechtel to reach meaningful conclusions regarding the overall design of Clinton and that Bechtel will promptly inform IP and NRC if, at any time during the IDR, it determines that accomplishing that obj ective requires expansion of the reviews.

(5) Please include confirmation that the horizontal review will determine the adequacy of consideration in the Clinton design process of the root causes of findings from the review of S&L design at other projects and from previous reviews at Clinton by IP and others (see page 1 of Attachment 2 of May 31, 1984, letter). This confirmation should provide additional information concerning how this objective of the horizontal review will be achieved.

(6) Page.9 of the Program Plan indicates that in Bechtel's identification of licensing commitments its source will be the FSAR, responses to NRC questions and other documents identified by IP. Please clarify that the source of commitments will include the SER and supplements thereto, as well as any other documents which Bechtel determines to be relevant. (See page 1 of May 31, 1984 letter and page 1 of Attachment 2 to letter.)
