O t.C SEP 141988 Docket No. 50-295 Docket No. 50-304 Commonwealth Edison Company ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed Senior Vice President Post Office Box 767 Chicago, IL 60690 Gentlemen:

At the recent Zion SALP meeting you asked for a copy of the functional area /

evaluation criteria matrix used by the presenter as well as the con'pilation of SALP strengths and weaknesses used to create it. I am enclosing a copy for your information and hope it will be useful to you. As you review the information, please keep in mind that each listed strength and weakness corresponds to a statement in the report, that all listed strengths and weaknesses are not equally weighted, and that che conversion of strengths and weaknesses into the matrix "pluses" and "minuses" involves subjective judgerrent by NRC management.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Conmission's regulations, a copy of this letter and the attached information will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room.

If members of your staff should need additional information or clarification they ma staff (y 790-5299).

address any questions regarding the matrix to G. A. VanSickle of my Sincerely, 8809260130 s00914 ORGMAL $4GNED BY W. L FOMD PDR ADO::K 0S000295 0 N Edward G. Greenman, Director Division of Reactor Projects Attachments: As stated cc w/ attachments:
