Mr. Byron Lee, Jr.

Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. L. Hueter and N. DuBry
of this office on July 10-13, 1979, of activities at Quad-Cities Nuclear
Power Station, Units 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Operating Licenses No.
DPR-29 and No. DPR-30 and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. K. Graesser and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the
inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined
during the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a
selective examination of procedures and representative records, observations,
and interviews with personnel.
.
This inspection included a review of radioiodines and radioactive materials
in particulate form with greater than eight day half lives being released
in gaseous effluents from your facility at greater than the design objective
release rate. We are concerned about the presistence of such releases in
excess of the design objective. This matter was discussed in a management
meeting with Commonwealth Edison Company representatives on July 19,
1979. We understand that a thorough evaluation of the plant's ability,
as presently designed, to meet the design objective release rate will be
completed by the end of the third quarter of 1979.
No items of noncompliance with NRC requirements were identified during
the course of this inspection.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the }T.C's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the
enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document
Room, except as follows.
If this report contains information that you or
your contractors believe to be proprietary, you must apply in writing to
this office, within twenty days of your receipt of this letter, to withhold
such information from public disclosure. The application must include a

inspection.
