SUBJECT:

ANNUAL ASSESSMENT LETTER - LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (05000373/2010001; 05000374/2010001)

Dear Mr. Pardee:

On February 11, 2010, the NRC staff completed its performance review of LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2. Our technical staff reviewed performance indicators (PIs) for the most recent quarter and inspection results for the period from January 1 through December 31, 2009. 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. Overall, LaSalle County Station, Units 1 and 2 operated in a manner that preserved public health and safety and fully met all cornerstone objectives. Plant performance for the most recent quarter, as well as for the first three quarters of the assessment cycle, 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, including baseline and other infrequently conducted inspections, less those related to security, scheduled through June 30, 2011.

We also plan on conducting several special and infrequently performed inspection procedures which include: Inspection Procedure (IP) 60854.1, "Preoperational Testing of Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility Installations at Operating Plants" and IP 60855.1, "Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation at Operating Plants." 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. The inspections in the last 9 months of the inspection plan are tentative and may be revised at the mid-cycle review.
