Subsequent to the issuance of the " Discussion and Conclusions by the U.S. Atomic Energy Ccmmission, Divisions of P.adiolocical and Environmental Protection and P,cactor Licensing Pursuant to Anoendix 0 of 10 CFP Part 50 Supportiag the Issuance of Licenses to Ccmonucalth Edison Company and .

Iowa-11'.<inois Gas and Electric Company Authorizing 20 Percent Oneration of the Quad-Cities. Station Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-254 and 50-255" 1

' issued January 24,1972 (Discussion and Conclusions), the Commonwealth Edison Company has provided the Commission cooics of an agreement (attachment #1) reached between the Commonwealth Edison Company and the plain .

tiffs in the litigation pending in the U.S. District Court for the District ,.

of Columbia relating to the operation of the Guad Cities Station Units 1 i i

and 2 (The Isaac '.ialton Lear ue of Icerica et al, vs. Jees Schlesincer et al.;~Peoole of :ia na:2 or tiiinois et ai, vs. U.S. ftcm.1c enercy (

Co.miission_ et at .; t,1vil action ios. 220 Wand 22F/1, tne 0.5.

District Court for the District of Colunbia). The agreement sets forth certain modifications of the condenser cooline water system and clans e for operation of Quad Cities Units 1 and 2. The AEC staff has evaluated the contents of the agreenent and has concluded that the staff's -

Discussion and Conclusions, dated January 24, 1972, are unmodified by the contents of the acreenent. The January 24,1972 Discussion and f

Conclusions deal only with the o; eration of Ouad-Citics Station Units 1 and 2 at 20 pcreent of station power until June 1,1972. The staff concludes that operation of the station at 29 oercent of nower for t this period of time will not foreclose any of the alternatives for the protection of the environment.

It is noted that the AEC issued a Draft Detailed Statenent on Endron-mental Considerations relating to the orceosed issuance of a full ten operating license for the Ouad-Cities Station Units 1 and 2 on March 6 ')

i 1972. The Federal Power Cccuission has submitted comments on the draft detailed statement which updates their views on tne need for power from  :

the Quad Cities Units 1 and 2 (attachment #2).

The findings on environmental considerations set forth in the AEC staff Discussion and Conclusions of January 24, 1972 and in this supplement are without prejudice to an independent evaluation by the AEC of environ-mental considerations for operation of the Guad citics Units 1 and 2 , ,

in a manner other than 20 percent power for each unit until June 1,1972. .

l In connection with any such future licensing acticn, the AEC will, of  !

course, carefully evaluate the environmental aseccts of any proposed I I

facility changes resulting from the above referenced agreement.  !
