Comonwealth Edison Company
ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed
Senior Vice President
Post Office Box 767
Chicago, IL 60690
Gentlemen:
Enclosed fer your review, prior to our scheduled meeting on January 4,1989,
is the SALP 7 Board Report for the Quad Cities Nuclear Plant, covering the
pericd April 1, 1987 through September 30, 1988.
In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board Assessment
,
and concur with their ratings,
it is my view that your conduct of nuclear
activities in connection with the Quad Cities facility was acceptable.
Overall, the ratings indicate continued management involvement over licensed
activities and a generally conservative operating philosophy as reflected by
improvements in plant scrams, personnel errors, and plant appearance. As
noted in the SALP Board's overview, however, for much of the assessment period
significant problems existed in the functional areas of Maintenance / Surveillance
and Engineering / Technical Support. These problems invnived many of the SALP
criteria: management involvement, staffing, approach to technical issues,
tesponse to initiatives, and enforcement history. Strong management attention
is warranted on your part to effect improvements in these areas. Highlights
of the report are set forth below:
1.
The functional areas of Radiological Controls and Security sustained
Category 1 ratings consistent with the ratings in these functional areas
during the previous assessment period.
Repeat Category 1 ratings in
Security and Radiological Controls reflect a strong security program and
a slightly less strong effurt in the area of Radiological Controls.
2.
All other functional areas sustained Category 2 ratings consistent with
the ratings in these functional areas during the previous assessment
period. Engineering / Technical Support is a new functional area and the
previously separate Maintenance and Surveillance functional areas have
now been combined. Also, the new functional area of Safety Assessment /
Quality Verification incorporatt.s the previously separate areas of
Licensing and Quality Programs and Administrative Controls Affecting
Quality.
3.
For the area of Maintenance / Surveillance, it was recomended by the
SALP Board that you increase your attention for maintenance because of
deficiencies noted in the Maintenance portion of the functional area.

4.
The area of Engineering / Technical Support receivet. a Category 2 rating;
however, several attributes were noted as weak and the SALP Board
recommended you continue to apply close attention to this area.
While you will have sufficient opportunity to present your comments at the
meeting on January 4, 1989, we also solicit written comments within 30 days
after the meeting to enable us to thoroughly evaluate your comments and to
provide you with our conclusions relative to them.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice", Part 2,
Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter and the SALP
Board Report will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
Should you have any questions concerning the SALP report, we would be pleased
to discuss them with you.
Sincerely,
