Naughton Commonwealth Edison reiterated its position that this is not a safety issue but a Company operational decision.
It is not, in the Company's opinion, an issue which would impair the health and safety of tha public.
As a result of additional discussions with Westinghouse and further review of the current information and analyses related to predicting crack growth, the NRC Staf f modified its position, delineated in Reference (a), with regard to the operation of Zion Unit 2.
Basically, the NRC Staff stated t. hat Zion _ Unit 2 could continue to operate, even after Zion Unit 1 returned to full p itsreviewofthetechniqd)2i3s@g while the NRC Staff completes associated with turbine cracks.
Very truly yours, 1929 003 j@OOl D.
