Gentlemen:

This refers to the inspection conducted by Messrs. Pcoeroy and Tripp,

of our Regulatory Oparations Headquarters office, at the Comunonwealth

Edison Company offices in Chicago, Illinois, and to discussions of our

findings with Mr. W. J. Showski and others of your staff at the con-

clusion of the inspection. The inspection was an examination of

activities related to the procurement of fuel for several of your

nuclear power plants, including a comparison of these activities with

the Comunission's Quality Assurance Criteria. The inspection consisted

of selective examinations of procedures and representative records,

-

,

interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.

Based on the results of the inspection, it appears that certain of

your activities are in violation of AEC requirements. These activities

are identified ia the Enclosure to this letter and are discussed in the

enclosed inspection report.

This letter is a notice of violation and is sent to you pursuant to

the provisions of Section 2.201 of the AEC's " Rules of Practice,"

Part 2, Title 10. Code of Federal Regulations. Section 2.201 requires

you to submit to this office, within twenty (20) c'.ays of the date

of this letter, a written statement or explanation in reply, including:

(1) corrective steps which have been taken by you and the results

achieved; (2) corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further

violations; and (3) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

In addition to the need for corrective action regarding these specific

l

deficiencies, we are concerned about the implementation of your

i

quality assurance program which permitted these deficiencies to occur.

Consequently, in your reply, you should describe, in particular, those

actions taken or planned to inprove the effectiveness of your quality

assurance programm for procurement of nuclear fael.
