                  . Dear Mr. Subalusky:                                                                                            ;

                      On February 6,1997, the NRC completed an inspection at your LaSalle facility. The
                      enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.                                                     j

,

                      During this eight-week inspection period, your staff's performance was characterized by                      l

1

                      instances of procedural non-compliance, lack of knowledge regarding existing system                          i

i: configu'ations and configuration changes resulting from surveillance testing, and the failure l

                      to self-check. These human performance deficiencies along with configuration control                         j
                      problems that involved removing the wrong component from service and continuing                              1

'

                      concerns with the work control process, which were identified during this inspection

- period, indicate that corrective actions in these areas have not been effective to date.

f .We are.also concerned with two violations of NRC requirements tint were identified during ,

                      this inspection period. The first violation involves four examples of failing to follow                      i

,

                      procedures. The procedures pertain to the removal of Division 3 breakers from service, a                     !

l fire protection surveillance test, transfer of liquid radioactive waste, and implementation of l I fire protection administrative work controls. Although two of the examples were licensee- a identified, they are included in the cited violation because they stem from continued ;

                   - weaknesses in the work control process and out-of-service program. The second violation

i involves a deficient out-of service instruction which resulted in an operator removing the

                      wrong safety-related bettery breaker from service. The violations are cited in the enclosed
                      Notice of Violation (Notice) and the circumstances surrounding the violations are described                 q
                      in detail in the enclosed inspection report.
                                                                                                                                   '
