Address Reply to: Post Office Box 767 Chicago, Illinois 60690 0767 September 10, 1987 Mr. Thomas E. Murley, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Subject:
Braidwood Station Unit 2 Request for Schedular Relief for submittel of Unit 2 Startup Tests NRC Docket No. 50-457 Reference (a): Regulatory Guide 1.68, Revision 2, dated August, 1978
Dear Mr. Murley:
The purpose of this letter is to request approval for a deviation to the schedule for submittal of startup tests as delineated in Appendix B of Reference (a), which states in part:
"For the NRC to implement this inspection program, the applicant should have copies of the test procedures available for examination by the NRC regional personnel approximately 60 days prior to the scheduled performance of the preoperational tests, and, not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled fuel loading date, copies of procedures for fuel loading, initial startup tesitng, and supporting activities.
Drafts of these procedures should be made available as early as practical."
To help minimize the impact on Braidwood Station resources and yet, provide the required test procedures in a timely manner,in lieu of the above, Commonwealth Edison proposes the following submittal schedule:
a.
Braidwood Station approved copies of all startup test procedures which are scheduled to be executed at less than 5% power will be provided to NRC Region III personnel at least 60 days prior to receipt of a low power (less than 5% power) license for Unit 2.
b.
Braidwood Station approved copies of all startup test procedures which are scheduled to be performed during the power ascension program (greater than 5% power) will be provided to NRC Region III personnel at least 60 days prior to receipt of a full power license for Unit 2.

.a T.E. Murley September 10, 1987
- This revised schedule will allow, as much as practicable, for the to
-incorporation of Braidwood Unit.1 testing experience.into the Braidwood UniP,'2 tests. This schedule should also serve to enhance the overall execution of;
the Braidwood Unit 2 testing program.
In addition, this schedule will help )
l minimize the impact on Station resources during'the period when the Unit 1 and Unit 2 testing programs overlap.

This request was discussed with NRC Staff from NRR and Region III on.-
I September 9, 1987, and was generally found to be acceptable.
py Your re' view and formal acceptance of the. proposed schedule is requested.
If there are any questions concerning the above, please direct them to this office, l
very'truly yours, I
