Docket No. 50-295
Docket No. 50-304
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. T. Ploski and
others of this office on January 28 and February 10-11, 1986, of activities
at Zion Nuclear Generating Station, Units 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Operating
Licenses No. DPR-39 and DPR-48, and to the discussion of our findings with
Mr. E. Fuerst and others of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The enclosed copy of our inspection report identifies areas exanined during
the inspection. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective
examination of procedures and representative records, observations, and
interviews with personnel.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this
inspection.
However, weaknesses were identified which will require corrective
action by your staff. These weaknesses are summarized in the appendix to this
letter.
As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix E (IV.F), any weaknesses that are
identified must be corrected. Accordingly, please advise us within 45 days of
the date of this letter of the corrective actions you have taken or plan to
take, regarding these weaknesses, including the estimated dates of completion.
We recognize that Commonwealth Edison Company is the only Region III licensee
that has conducted unannounced exercises.
The atypical day of the week and
start time on which the 1986 Zion Station exercise was conducted enhanced the
element of surprise that is essential for unannounced exercises.
l
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
'
this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
in the NRC Public Document Room.
The response directed by this letter are not subject to the clearance procedures
of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
