Docket No. 50-254
Docket No. 50-265
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN:
Mr. 'Cordell Reed
Vice President
Post Office Box 767
Chicago, IL 60690
Gentlemen:
This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. R. Mendez
of this office on October 9 through December 4, 1986, of activities at
Quad Cities Nuclear Power _ Station, Units 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Operating
Licenses No. DPR-29 and No. DPR-30 and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. R. L. Bax at the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas examined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
As stated in the report, the last two consecutive Type A tests at Quad-Cities
Unit 2 have been failures and, pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Appendix J,
Section III.A.6.(b), a Type A test shall be performed during each plant
shutdown for refueling until two consecutive Type A tests meet the acceptance
criteria of Appendix J.
Accordingly, unless you request, and are granted,
an exemption from this requirement by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation,
we expect you to conduct a Type A test during each refueling outage until two-
consecutive Type A tests satisfy the Appendix J acceptance criteria.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in violation
of NRC requirements, as described in the enclosed Notice.
With respect to
Item 1, the inspection showed that action had been taken to correct the
identified violation and to prevent recurrence.
Our understanding of your
corrective actions are described in Paragraph 7 of the enclosed inspection
report.
Consequently, no reply to the violation is required and we have no
further questions regarding this matter at this time.
Regarding Item 2, a written response is required.
In your response to Item 2,
please include an assessment of the compatibility of the J-Bar and Garlock
gasket materials sufficient to support an independent evaluation of material
properties.
.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy
of this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the
NRC Public Document Room.
