Docket Nos.:

50-237

  • so-249 Mr. J. J. O'Connor Chief Executive Officer Commonwealth Edison Company Post Office Box 767 Chicago, Illinois 60690

Dear Mr. O'Connor:

JUL 8 1988 On June 28 and 29, 1988, NRC senior managers met to review the perfonnance of operating nuclear power plants licensed by the NRC.

These meetings are conducted biannually to focus NRC resources on those plants and issues of greatest safety significance. At this meeting, the Dresden facility was categorized as requiring continued close monitoring.

Plants in this category are continuing to receive increased NRC attention from both headquarters and the regional office.

A summary of NRC discussions held relating to Dresden is pr_ovided below:

Commonwealth Edison has instituted a number of significant improvement programs and the operating perfonnance as well as the personnel exposure and contamination history at Dresden have shown improvement in the past eight months.

However, close NRC oversight is still required until there has been sufficient implementation of these programs to demonstrate sustained improved perfonnance particularly in the area of maintenance and post maintenance testing.

Region III plans to closely monitor these programs to assure that they are being adequately implemented and results achieved.

An NRC Commission meeting open to the public has been scheduled for July 13, 1988, to review the results of the latest meeting of NRC managers.

Mr. A. Bert Davis, the Region III Administrator, has discussed the basis for our conclusions with regard to the Dresden facility with members of your staff.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, do not hesitate to call me.
