Docket No. 50-454

Docket No. 50-455

Commonwealth Edison Company

AlTN: Mr. Cordell Reed

Senior Vice President

Post Office Box 767

Chicago, IL 60690

Gentlemen:

This is in reponse to your h.'ters dated April 14, 1988 and May 20, 1988.

Your letters were submitted in response to our Inspection Reports

No. 50-454/88004 and 50-455/88005(DRSS), dated March 8,1988, and requested

that the NRC reclassify a violation issued in that report as an Open Item.

After reviewing your letters, we have concluded that the violation cited in the

above referenced report is valid and does not warrant reclassification as an

Open Item.

The basis for our decision is outlined in the enclosure to this

letter.

Since your response addressed the reasons why the cited violation should be

reclassified instead of responding to the Notice of Violation, you are

requested to provide another written response to the violation contained in

Inspection Report No. 50-454/88004; 50-455/88005(DRSS), dated March 8, 1988,

and address the three areas identified in the Notice of Violation.

Your

statement of corrective action regarding the violation should be submitted

within 30 days after receipt of this letter and as a separate enclosure in the

manner prescribed.

Please note that the basis for citing the violation was explained to site

security managers and addressed in detail in Section 8.2 of the Report Details.

This conclusion was finalized after extensive coordination with NRC Region III

enforcement personnel, security licensing, and Regulatory Effectiveness Review

team representatives within the NRC Division of Reactor Inspection and

Safeguards, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.

In summary, we expect

intrusion detection systems to detect intrusion attempts to the degree of

assurance required by the Security Plan. We are concerned that your response

appears to justify a lower level of performance as being acceptable.

We have also reviewed your response in relation to a potential site specific

.h

backfit issue and have determined that the issue does not constitute a

/p

backfit.

The response directed by this letter is not subject to the clearance procedures

of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork % duction

Act of 1980, Pl.96-511.
