l NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos. 50-254; 50-265 Quad Cities Station, Units 1 and 2 Licenses No. DPR 29; DPR-30 During an NRC inspection completed on September 25,1997, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG 1600, the violation is listed below:

10 CFR 50, Appendix B CMerion XVI requires in part that measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, deficiencies, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.

Contrary to the above, on September 25,1997, the inspector identified that the licensee had failed to implement prompt corrective actions for the ineffective induction heat stress irnprovement process utilized on the Unit 1 recirculation pipe welds.

This is a Severity Level IV Violation (Supplement 1).

Pursuant to the provMions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison is hereby required to submit a written statement of explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:

Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555 with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region ill, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice of Violation (Notice), within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice. This reply should be clearly marked as a " Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation: (1) the reason for the violation or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violation, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved.

Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.

Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. However,if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
