August 8,1980 Docket No. 50-10 i

Mr. D. Louis Peoples Director of Nuclear Licensing Commonwealth Edison Company Post Office Box 767 Chicago, Illinois 60690

Dear Mr. Peoples:

RE: ENVIRONNENTAL QUALIFICATION OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

References:

(1) March 28, 1980 letter from Dennis L. Ziemann to D. L. Peoples (2) May 1,1980 letter from Robert F. Janecek to Dennis L. Zier.. ann (3) May 6,1980 letter from D. L. Peoples to Paul W. O'Connor In a previous letter (Ref.1) we requested that certain containment related information either be provided or referenced by May 1,1980. This request, part of the accelerated environmental qualification (E.Q. ) review, was to obtain information that could be used in defining equipment's post-incident service environment.

In lieu of providing the information requested, you stated (Ref. 2) that submittal of this information at a later date would be more approcriate.

You indicated that the Dresden Unit 1 plant was currently shutdown for an extended period undergoing a major retrofit program modifying both the emergency core cooling and reactor protection systems.

In addition, to the hardware modifications, you stated that new analyses of core behavior and new operating procedures were to be developed. As a result, responses to our request would be forthcoming as those tasks were co@leted.

The Commission's Memorandum and Order of May 23, 1980 provided a schedule for co@letion of the environmental qualification reviews of all facilities.

Although responses to our request might be more accurately addressed during the later stages of the retrofitting effort, we find that the retrofit schedule is not concatible with the Commission's schedule. This letter is to inform you that Dresden Unit 1 will not be handled any differently than any other SEP plant.

You should submit the requested information on a schedule comcatible with our EQ needs.

Should you believe this is not an appropriate schedule, you may exercise your option to petition the Commission-for an exemption from the requirements provided in the May 23, 1980 Order.

Sincerely, o

f oj.ki.
