Docket No. 50-304
Commonwealth Edison Company
ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed
Senior Vice President
Post Office Box 767'
Chicago, IL 60690
Gentlemen:
This: refers to an Enforcement Conference conducted by Mr. C. J. Paperiello
and other members of the NRC staff with Mr. T. J. Maiman and your staff on
May 31, 1989, at the Region III office in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, to discuss
the licensee's failure to declare one train of the Containment Spray System
(CS) inoperable as identified in NRC Inspection Report No. 295/89017(DRP).
We have concluded that operation with an inoperable train of CS resulted in a
Severity Level IV violation of Technical Specifications (TS 3.6.1.C).
We are
concerned with your operating staff's failure to make an appropriate LC0 dieter-
mination and with the lack of involvement of the station technical staff in
this determination. This also appears to have contributed to a condition.
where inoperable redundant trains went unrecognized. We also note that in
your short term corrective action, you did not specify how long the
administrative LC0 would remain in effect. Therefore, we will consider
this LCO to expire on October 1, 1989, when you committed to complete your
evaluation of TS. We have made an Open Item (295/89019-01(DRP)) of this TS
issue and request that you espond in writing with your resolution of this
open item by October 1, 1989. A written response to this violation is also
required.
In your response, please include your actions to improve your
operating staff's LC0 determination capabilities and the overview role of the
' technical staff.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of
i
this letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed
j
in the NRC Public Document Room.

i
The responses directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are not
I
subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget
as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
