Docket No. 50-254

Docket No. 50-265

Commonwealth Edison Company

ATTN:

Mr. Cordell Reed

Senior Vice President

Post Office Box 767

Chicago, IL. 60690

Gentlemen:

This refers to the routine safety inspection conducted by Mr. R. Mendez of this

office on September 13 through December 8, 1987, of activities associated with

containment integrated leak rate testing (CILRT) at Quad Cities Nuclear Power

Station, Units 1 and 2 authorized by NRC Operating Licenses No. DPR-29 and

No. DPR-30 and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. R. L. Bax 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.

As stated in the report, the last two consecutive Type A tests at Quad Cities

Unit 1 have been failures and, pursuant to 10 CFR 50, Appendix J,

Section III.A.6(b), a Type A test shall be performed during each plant shutdown

for refueling until two consecutive Type A tests meet the acceptance criteria

of Appendix J.

Accordingly, unless you request, and are granted, an exemption

from this requirement by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, we expect

you to conduct a Type A test during each refueling outage until two consecutive

Type A tests satisfy the Appendix J acceptance criteria.

No violations of NRC requirements were identified during the course of this

inspection.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of

this letter and the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the NRC

Public Document Room.
