Dear Mr. Abel:
The Commission has issued the enclosed Amendment No. 59 to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-19 for Dresden Staticn Unit 2 and Amendment Nos. 52, 70, and 64 to Fr.cility Operating License Nos. DPR-25, DPR-29, and DPR-30 for Dresden Sta: ion Unit 3 and Quad Cities Station Units 1 and 2, r^spectively. The amendments are in response to your letter of hovember 1,1979.
The amendments will allow reactor power ascensi'on to proceed along a modi-fied power / flow line. This will facilitate adherence to procedures designed to reduce fuel pellet-clad interaction.
Copies of the Safety Evaluation and the Notica of Issuance are also enclosed.
Sincerely,

1.0 INTRODUCTION
~
By letter dated November 1,1979 (Reference 1), Comonwealth Edison Company (CECO, the licensee) proposed amendments to Appendix A,. Technical Specifications for Operating License Nos. DPR-19, DPR-25, DPR-29 and DPR-30 for Dresden Units 2 and 3 and Quad Cities Units 1 and 2, respectively.
The change involves a modified power / flow line, which provides more operating flexibility during power ascension while adhering to procedures aimed at reducing fuel pellet-clad interaction.
I I
2.0 DISCUSSION l
The power / flow restrictions result from the analysis of abnormal operating l
transients with degraded scram reactivity characteristics that are dependent l
on fuel exposure. The power / flow restrictions assure acceptable pressure and thennal margins during postulated transients.
The proposed power / flow line will follow the proposed APRM rod block Jower/J00Lflowfl0Qf]00foint and then along a linear path to the 100%
line up to an intercept
