P. O. Box 7520  !

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101 Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

MODIFICATION OF REQUIREMENTS OF ORDER RE: PEACH BOTTOM ATOMIC POWER STATION, UNIT NOS. 2 AND 3 i

On March 31, 1987, the Executive Director for Operations issued an Order '

directing the Philadelphia Electric Company to shut down Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station and take certain corrective actions to address concerns including failure of both the line organization and the quality assurance program to identify conditions adverse to safety. Specifically, Sections V.A-V.C of the Order respectively required (a) that Unit 3 be shutdown and both units be maintained in a cold shutdown condition pending further order; (b) a description of the actions planned to provide assurance that the facility will comply with all requirements while in a cold condition; and (c) that before proposing l operation of either unit, a comprehensive plan be developed to assure that the facility will be operated safely and comply with all requirements. The actions outlined in your letter of April 6,1987, were evaluated as part of our inspection program and determined to fulfill the requirements of Sections V.A and V.B of the Order.

In y letter dated October 19, 1988, the NRC acccpted your proposed " Plan for Restart of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station" in response to the requirements set forth in Section V.C of the Order. We have conducted an assessment of your implementation of this plan during an Integrated Assessment Team Inspection in February 1989, and have concluded that your performance relative to the Peach Bottom facility is at a level sufficient to support safe startup and operation of the facility and that there are no fundamental flaws that would inhibit your ability to ensure reactor or public safety during plant operatior. ,.

However, before final release from the requirements of the Order, you must '

demonstrate the effectiveness of your corrective actions in an operating environment in accordance with your approved restart power testing plan, [

j Therefore, in accordance with Section V.E of the Order, I hereby modify the requirements set forth in Section V.A of the Order to permit operation of Unit 2 not to exceed 35 percent of full power.
