Docket No. 50-456

Commonwealth Edison Company

ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed

Vice President

Post Office Box 767

Chicago, IL 60690

Gentlemen:

This refers to the special safeguards inspection conducted by Messrs.

J. L. Belanger and G. L. Pirtle of this office on January 5-9, 1987,

of activities at Braidwood Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, authorized

by NRC Operating License No. NPF-59 and to the discussion of our

findings with Mr. E. Fitzpatrick and others of your staff 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.

During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in

violation of NRC requirements, as specified in the enclosed Notice.

A written response is required.

The violation described in the Notice to this letter represents a

management breakdown in your security program that we consider to be

significant.

It should be noted, however, that due to the status of

the plant, an act of radiological sabotage as defined in 10 CFR 73.2(p)

was not nossible. Had the potential of a possible act of radiological

sabotage been possible, this incident may have resulted in escalated

enforcement action.

Areas examined during this inspection concern a subject matter which

is exempt from disclosure according to Part 73, Title 10, Code of

Federal Regulations, Section 73.21(c)(2).

This information must be

handled and protected in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 73.21.

Consequently, the enclosure to this letter, our report of the inspection,
