Dear Sir:

This special report is submitted in accordance with LaSalle Unit 2 Operating License NPF-18, Appendix A, Technical Specification 3.3.7.9 and 6.6.c.

Due to primary containment vent and purge (VQ) de::ign modification (M-1-2-84-048) construction activities, it was necessary to remove the following fire detection zones from service as a conservative precaution to prevent spurious zone fire alarms due to extensive welding and cutting in the areas.

- Detector Zone Area 2-17 U-2 Reactor Building, 740' 2-22 U-2 Reactor Building, 710' 2-22P U-2 Reactor Building, 710' 2-34 U-2 Reactor Building, 761' 2-36 U-2 Reactor Building, 786' In accordance with Action A of Technical Specification 3.3.7.9, an hourly fire watch was established to inspect the affected areas during the time the detectors are inoperable.

The smoke detectors have been out of service in excess of the allowed fourteen (14) days prior to requiring a special report. Fire detection zones 2-17, 2-22, 2-22P, 2-34 and 2-36 will be returned to service as the required wlding for the VQ modification in each respective zone is completed.
