Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection and investigation conducted by representatives
of our Region III (Chicago) office on April 26-28, May 2-6,12,13, and 26,
1977, at the Quad-Cities Station, Cordova, Illinois of activities authorized
by NRC Licenses No. DPR-29 and No. OPR-30. The inspection was an examination
of activities conducted under your license as they related to your program for
protecting against industrial sabotage and safeguarding special nuclear
material and to compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and
witn the conditions of your license. An investigation of t.11egations made by
former guards was conducted concurrently with the inspection.
The major concerns identified during the inspection were discussed during a
meeting held by Mr. J. A. Hind, Chief, Safeguards Branch, Region III and Mr.
James J. O'Connor, on May 13, 1977.
Commonwealth Edison Company's corrective
actions, which were discussed at that meeting, were confirmed in a letter
dated May 19, 1977 to Mr. O'Connor. Also, on May 13 the Region III personnel
at the Quad-Cities site discussed their findings with Mr. Kalivianakis and
memoers of his staff. A final management meeting to discuss the findings was
held on June 9,1977 by Mr. James G. Keppler, Director, Region III with Mr.
O'Connor.
At the conclusion of the inspection and investigation and based on the number
and nature of the apparent items of noncompliance, we initiated action to
assess civil penalties in accordance with NRC policies. The Department of
Justice had initiated their own investigation into possible criminal violations,
and we were requested by them to defer,our actiori pending the conclusion of
their investigation. Recognizin'g that Commonwealth Edison took prompt correc-
tive action on the specific items of noncompliance which were identified, and
recognizing the impact of the Department's course of action in focussing
Commonwealth's attention on security requirements, we conclude that the assess-
ment of a civil penalty at this time is inappropriate and unnecessary to
assure lasting corrective action.

The inspection and the investigation identified sixteen items of noncompliance
and these are listed in Appendix A.
Since we have completed our. review of
your corrective actions, no response to these items is required.'
Areas examined during the inspection concern a subject matter which is exempt
from disclosure according to Section 2.790(d) of the NRC's " Rules of Practice,"
Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.
Consequently, Appendix A to
this letter and our inspection report which provides detailed supporting
information for these items of noncompliance will not be placed in the Public
Document Room. However, the investigation report (also attached) which sets
forth the allegations initially received and our findings regarding these
allegations, is being placed in the NRC Public Document Room in accordance
with other provisionsof Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations.
Sincerely,
^
Victor SteH'o, Jr.
