Final Report - 10 CFR 50.55(e)

J. S. Abel letter to J.

G.

Keppler

(_

dated December 15, 1981

Dear Mr. Keppler:

In order to comply with the directive of your of fice

relative to the reporting of corrected termination lug deficiencies

at LaSalle County, Commonwealth Edison submits this report to

satisfy the procedural requirements of 10 CFR 50.55(e).

Although

I

our position relative the reportaoility of this matter under 10 CFR

i

50.55(e) remains the same as was stated in Reference (2), this

(

transmittal is made to document the fact that a deficiency relative

to termination lugs was identified and the corrective action

implemented to resolve that deficiency has been completed.

As was discussed in Reference (2), the termination lug

deficiency was identified by a site contractor (General Electric) on

a control panel (H13-P603) supplied by that contractor.

The

deficiency involved the use of ring lugs specified for use with #10

or #12 wire for terminations of #14 and #11 wire.

Although the site

record does not indicate whether the ac* cal terminations were

de fi cie nt , i.e. did not provide acceptable termination contacts, it

is clear that corrective action was taken to inspect all the

involved control room panels for similar problems and to replace all

improper lugs.

This inspection and replacement program has been

completed.

The conduct of this remedial work was compatible with

the priority classification assigned based on the original review of

,

the dif ficiency by the site contractor.

the corrective action originally defined as necessary has been

completed.

regard, please direct them to this of fice.
