Dear Mr. Denton:

Reference (a) provided a copy of the Braidwood Annex to the Commonwealth Edison Generating Stations Emergency Plan (GSEP) for your review. Subsequently, a comparison with Rev. 1 of the Byron Annex revealed some differences. We intend to keep the two annexes as alike as possible and consequently, will address these inconsistencies when Rev. 1 of the Braidwood Annex is issued around October, 1985. To assist in NRC Staff Review of this Annex, the attachment is included which lists the inconsistencies and their resolution.

Please address any comments or concerns that you or your staff may have regarding this matter to this office.

One (1) signed original and fifteen (15) copies of this letter with attachment are provided for your use.

Very truly yours, f' '\ 0

and BWA 6-2 In the Byron Annex, the Wisconsin Division of Emergency Government (DEG) is' discussed in a number of sections. The Byron Annex requires-the Division of Emergency Government to be notified directly of emergency conditions by the Station. Since Wisconsin (Byron) and Indiana (Braidwood) are outside the 10 mile EPZ, but inside the 50 mile ingestion EPZ, does this require the Braidwood Annex to include a discussion on the notification of Indiana?

RESPONSE

There is an agreement between ,

Illinois ESDA and the Indiana ,

Department of Civil Defense and Emergency Management for the notification of Indiana in the case where the 50 mile ingestion EPZ is impacted. Also, Illinois '
