SUBJECT:

CANCELLATION OF YELLOW TICKET 1

In a memorandum dated September 13, 1989 from T. Murley to R. Licciardo, (Enclosure 1) the staff was directed to issue its safety evaluation of the proposed Zion Technical Specifications for containment purge and vent system.

This assignment was reflected in Yellow Ticket No. 0899213 dated September 27,;

1989.

l By letter dated January 23, 1990 the Commonwealth Edison Company requested (Enclosure B to withdraw the proposed amendment request. At present, the' operation.. the containment purge and vent system at Zion is in accordance j

with the Confirmatory Order issued in February 1980. These restrictions were imposed as part of many other restrictions for the operation of Zion Station following the accident at TMI-2. The licensee has notified the Project Manager.

l of its intention to evaluate the existing requirenents in the Order, and provide a new request to modify the Order and revise the Technical Specifi-caticus. We will take appropriate actions after we receive a new proposal from the licensee.

Based on the above, I recommend that we cancel this yellow ticket.
