Docket No. 50-457

Comonwealth Edison Company

ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed

-Vice President

Post Office Box 767

Chicago, IL -60690

Gentlemen:

Enclosed for your review, prior to our scheduled meeting of March 17, 1987,

is the SALP 6 Board Report for the Braidwood Station, covering the period

December 1, 1985, through November 30, 1986.

In accordance with NRC policy, I have reviewed the SALP Board assessment and

concur with their ratings. Overall,'we find that your performance was

acceptable and directed toward quality construction, and safe initial startup

activities. Your performance had either remained the same or improved in

all functional areas during the assessment period resulting in either

Category 1 or 2 ratings. This represents a significant accomplishment

considering the transitional construction /preoperational/ operational phases

that the station underwent ar.d the extensive effort required by you to resolve

construction and licensing issues, all of which required a large commitment

of resources. However, a continued high level of management attention should

be directed toward the implementation of the operational program to assure

continued good performance. Highlights of the report are set forth below:

1.

Several functional areas relating to the plant construction area,

identified separately in the previous SALP reports, have been consolidated

into a single " construction" functional area in this report. This area

was rated Category 2, and represents the successful completion of

construction for Braidwood Unit 1 and acceptable performance for

construction of Braidwood Unit 2.

2.

In the functional areas of Operational Readiness and Initial Fuel

Loading, Preoperational Testing, and Quality Programs and Administrative

Controls Affecting Quality your performance was rated Category 1 with

the later two representing an improvement from Category 2s in the

previous assessment. These ratings are in recognition of the outstanding

work the Braidwood station has done in resolving the issues mentioned

above and in conducting testing and initial fuel loading activities.

3.

All other functional areas were rated Category 2, with no functional area

rating declining since the previous assessment.
