Gentlement SALP 9 BOARD REPORT NO. 50-483/90001 CALLAWAY PLANT This responds to Mr. A. Bert Davis' lottor dated  ;

April 5, 1990, which transmitted the SALP 9 Board Report for Callaway Plant covering the period September 1, 1988 ~

through January 31, 1990. .

We havo reviewed the report and have the ,

following clarification to the security section of the report (page 15, 4th paragraph):

The mini-IPAT psychological test was not determined to lack validity as a written personality. test ,

required by ANSI 3.3, Security for Nuclear Power Plants. In a labor dispute whercir. Danici International Corporation utilized mini-IPAT test i failures in decisions to reduce construction l forces, an arbitrator ruled the test was l inappropriately used and was not valid for this '

purpose without a clinical interview. In responso '

to NRC's concern about tho' validity of this test, i Union Electric voluntarily rotestod the few romaining construction workers who originally were approved for unoscorted access using the mini-IPAT.  !

In our opinion this action was responsive.to the Commission's concern, considering that no objective  !

cvidence has boon presented which invalidatos the mini-IPAT as a written personality test.

Some editorial comments have been discussed with Mr. B. H. Little, NRC Senior Resident Inspector. We appreciate the positive statomonts made in the report and during the April 19, 1990 mooting at Callaway Plant. At the same timo, wo acknowledge those sections of the report which identify areas for our increased attention and improvement.
