Your letter dated February 6, 1986 forwarded Combined Inspection Report Nos. 50-277/86-01; 50-278/86-01 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station. Appendix A of your letter addresses one item which does not appear to be in full compliance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements. This item is restated below followed by our response.

As a result of the ir. .oection conducted on January 6-10, 1986, and in accordance with the NRC Enforcement' Policy (10 CFR 2, Appendix C), the following violation was identified:

Section 6.9.2.h(2) of the Units 2 and 3 Technical ,

Specifications' states that "The Radioactive Effloent l Release Reports shall include a summary of the l quantities of radioactive liqui. and gaseous effluents and solid waste released from the site."

Contrary to the above, although the sampling and analysis was performed for Fe-55 as required by Table 4.8.1 of the Technical Specifications, this nuclide was not included in the sumraary of liquid effluents.

This is a Severity Level V violation (Supplement I).
