December 31, 1998 Mr. OlivIr D. Kingsley, Pr:sident Nuclear Generation Group Commonwealth Edison Company Executive Towers West lli 1400 Opus Place, Suite 500 Downers Grove, IL 60515 SU' JECT: REGULATORY GUIDE 1.97 - BOILING WATER REACTOR NEUTRON FLUX B
MONITORING - QUAD CITIES NUCLEAR POWER STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2
-(TAC NOS. M51124 AND M51125)
Dear Mr. Kingsley:
Section 6.2 of Generic Letter 82-33 requested applicants and licensees to provide a report on their implementation of Regulatory Guide 1.97. The BWR Owners' Group responded by submitting NEDO-31558, " Position on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, Requirements for Post-Accident Neutron Monitoring System," which proposed attemative criteria for neutron flux monitoring instrumentation in lieu of the Category 1 criteria stated in the regulatory guide.
In a safety evaluation dated January 13,1993, the staff concluded that the criteria of NEDO-31558 was acceptable.
By letter dated June 3,1993, the staff requested you to review the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, neutron flux monitoring instrumentation against the criteria of NEDO-31558 and document the results of your review. Your letters dated November 12,1993, April 24,1998 and November 13,1998, provided the results of your review.
The staff has completed its review of your submittals and determined that the deviations from NEDO-31558 specified in your submittais are acceptable. Therefore, the post-accident neutron
- flux monitoring instrumentation at the Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2, is an acceptable attemative to the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.97.
Sincerely, 1

The BWR Owners' Group responded by submitting NEDO-31558, " Position on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.97, Revision 3, Requirements for Post-Accident Neutron Monitoring System," which proposed alternative criteria for neutron flux monitoring instrumentation in lieu of the Category 1 criteria stated in the regulatory guide.
In a safety evaluation dated January 13,1993, the staff concluded that the criteria of NEDO-31558 was acceptable.
By letter dated June 3,1993, the staff requested you to review the Quad Cities Nuclear Power
