RESPONSE TO NOTICE OF VIOLATION i
The item of noncompliance identified in Appendix A of the NRC letter dated May'29, 1984 is responded to in the following paragraphs:
10 CFR 50.54(q) requires in part that a-licensee authorized to possess and/or operate a nuclear power reactor shall follow and maintain in effect emergency plans which meet the standards in 10 CFR 50.47(b) of this part and.the requirements in Appendix E to this part.
10 CFR.50, Appendix E, Section IV.D.3 states in part that a licensee shall have the capability to notify responsible State and local governmental agencies within 15 minutes after declaring a emergency.
Contrary to.the above, the licensee did not have the capabi-lity to notify off-site agencies within 15 minutes as demonstrated during the period from April 9, 1983 through April 29, 1984, when on all seven occasions the licensee did not initially notify the responsible State agency-of an emergency at the LaSalle County Station within 15 minutes from the time of emergency declaration.
. Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved.
I On May 21, 1984, LaSalle Station Training Department commenced i
retrainir.g on current notification procedures.
This training will be completed by August-1, 1984.
In addition, a review of the notification procedure was conducted by Corporate Emergency l
Planning and the recommended changes are provided below.
Corrective Action-Taken to Avoid Further Non-Compliance a
Corporate Emergency Planning shall issue a letter to all Station.

met.
These instructions shall indicate that.the NARS call on the appropriate NARS Code shall be made without contacting System Power Supply Office (SPS0) if insufficient time remains to meet the. requirement.

This letter shall indicate when the 15 minute clock starts.
Instructions to SPS0 shall indicate that the NARS call shall be made without contacting the Nuclear Duty Officer if insufficient time remains to meet the requirement.
~A subsequent call by the SPS0 shall be made to the Nuclear Duty Officer.
The letter shall also require that the following log entries be made:
a)
The time the NARS message was received from the station, b) the time the State of Illinois and, if applicable, Iowa or Wisconsin was notified, and c) the time the Nuclear Duty Officer was notified.
Finally, as an additional enhancement, it is Commonwealth Edison's intent to establish new NARS codes which will allow the Shift Engineer to notify the State of Illinois and, if applicable, Iowa or Wisconsin and the SPS0 with a single phone call.
However, NARS is operated and maintained by the State of Illinois and requires its concurrence 'or any change.
Full compliance is considered achieved upon issuance of guidance by the corporate GSEP Staff and subsequent training at each plant.
Date of Full Compliance Full compliance will be achieved by August 1, 1984.
