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) design modification (M-1-2-84-048) construction activities, it was necessary to remove fire detection zone 2-2 (U-2 Auxiliary Building 786' Blevation) from service as a conservative precaution to prevent spurious zone fire alarms due to extensive welding and cutting in the area.

s In accordance with Action A of Technical Specification 3.3.7.9, an hourly fire watch patrol was established to inspect the affected area 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 zone 2-2 will be returned to service when the required welding for the VQ modification in the area has been completed (prior to the end of the present Unit 2 refuel outage).
