NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION E
WASHINGTON. D. C. 20565
}
August 8,1980 Docket Nos. 50-295 and 50-304 Mr. D. Louis Peoples Director of Nuclear Licensing Comonwealth Edison Conpany Post Office Box 767 Chicago, Illinois 60690
Dear Mr. Peoples:
The Comission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 55 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-39 and Arnendnent No. 52 to facility Operating License No. DPR-48 for the Zion Station, Unit Nos.1 and 2, respectively.
The amendments consist of changes to the Technical Specifications in response to your application transmitted by letter dated May 27, 1977, as supplemented by letters dated June 29, August 9 and December 13, 1977, March 15,1978, June 28 and October 26, 1979, and March 4, 1980.
These amendments approve the Zion Station inservice inspection (ISI) program and provides relief where appropriate.
The ISI program approved in the enclosed supporting staff Safety Evaluation (SE) supersedes the interim ISI relief granted by letters dated December 7,1977. However, the provision of the December 7,1977 letter with respect to your in-service testing (IST) program for pumps and valves, as may be supple-mented by your June 28, 1979 submittal, remain in effect. The approval of your IST p*ogram will be the subject of a separate license amendment.
We had previously granted advance relief, which you requested, for certain non-destructive examinations (NDE) by our October 26, 1979 letter for Zion Unit No. 1.
In your March 4,1980 letter you requested advance approval for Zion Unit No. 2 for the same items contained in the October 26 letter.
You also re-requested relief for reactor vessel closure studs and nuts volumetric examinations for both-Zion units.
We have granted relief by this action.
The enclosed SE delineates those items for which relief has been granted or alternative examinations defined. We are granting this relief and imposing alternative examinations based on our review cf the information you submitted to support your determinations that certain ASME Code requirements would be impractical for your facility. We have determined that the granting of this relief is authorized by law and will not endanger life or property, or the comon defense and security, and will otherwise be in the public interest.
In making this determination we have given due consideration to the burden that could result if these requirements were imposed on your f acility.
We have determined that the granting of this relief does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of accidents prev.iously considered nor a decrease in safety margin; and thus, does not involve a significant hazards consider-ation.

Mr. D. Louis Peoples August 8,1980 Comc~ ealth Edison Company Furthermore, we have determined that the granting of this relief from ASliE Code requirements does not authorize a change in effluent types ~ or total amounts nor an increase in power. level and will not result in any significant environmental impact. We have concluded that the granting of this relief is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 51.5(d)(4) that neither an environmental impact statement nor a negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need to be prepa' red in connection with this action.
The relief from ASME Code requirements granted by the SE for the ISI program shall remain in effect until specifically revoked by the NRC or until the end of the 120-month period beginning December 31, 1973, for Unit No.1 and September 17, 1974, for Unit No. 2.
Corrected Technical Specification pages 94 and 328a to replace ones sent out by our April 28, 1980 letter are enclosed.
A copy of the Notice of Issuance is also enclosed.
Sincerely, Ib
