QUAD CITIES STATION UNITS 1 AND 2
RESPONSE TO INSPECTION REPORT
NOS. 50-254/85021 AND 50-265/85024
NRC DOCKET NOS. 50-254 AND 50-265
Reference (a):
Letter from W. D. Shafer to Cordell Reed dated July 31, 1985
(b):
Letter from D. L. Farrar to James Keppler dated August 27, 1985
Your response to the Notice of Violation associated with the inspection
conducted by Mr. L. J. Hueter on July 9-12, 1985, of activities at
Quad Cities Station does not appear to be adequate in that it fails to
address the underlying cause of the violation, namely, the continued reliance
on alternative grab sampling procedures in place of continuous monitoring
called for in the technical specifications.
The need for new monitors
meeting the sensitivity requirements of the new RETS technical specifications
beginning on December 19, 1984, was well known in advance of that date.
The intent of these authorized alternative measures is to allow continued
plant operation for a reasonable period of time while equipment is being
repaired / installed and returned to service.
However, your ongoing (nearly
a year) reliance on alternative measures, rather than expeditiously

establishing operability of the new monitors, appears to be an improper use
.of the technical specifications.
Therefore, please provide additional
response to address this concern, including a commitment date for operability
of the monitors.
