Dear Mr. Kingsley:
On January 16,1998, the NRC issued Confirmatory Action Letter (CAL) No. Rill-98-001 to
. document your commitments to resolve 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R safe shutdown issues at Quad Cities Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2. In response to the CAL, the Quad Cities staff with Comed corporate and contractor assistance, performed a series of actions including review, revision, validation, and approval of the Safe Shutdown Analysis (SSA); review, revision, validation and approval of procedures to implement the SSA; and identification of any conditions left discrepant with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix R and the corresponding implementation of appropriate compensatory measures._ These actions and their results were summarized in Reference (2). } O.
Following the issuance of the CAL, we conducted bi weekly public meetings with you to discuss the progress at Quad Cities Station in resolving the Appendix R safe shutdown issues. In addition, we reviewed your docketed correspondence addressing several of these issues and conducted onsite inspections to evaluate implementation of your corrective actions. From these inspections, meetings, and documentation reviews, two attemative post-fire safe shutdown 1-related technical areas involving loss of 125V DC breaker control power and multiple fire-induced spurious actuations of equipment were identified as being in non-cgmpliance with 10 CFR ~

Part 50, Appendix R. It is our understanding that you have implemented and will maintain appropriate compensatory measures for each of these areas until you have established full l compliance with Appendix R. i Following NRC identification of these two issues and other concems noted during our inspections i of the revised SSA and procedures, you committed to conduct a re-review of a specifically j i
selected fire area Turbine Building II (TB ll), to ensure these types of issues had been appropriately considered during your earlier reviews. You have completed that review and concluded that the earlier reviews of TB 11 were satisfactory. We,in tum, have inspected the ,
results of your review and performed an independent assessment of TB 11. Based on the results l of our inspection activities, we have concluded that your revised SSA and associated )
implementing procedures provide an interim safe shutdown methodology that is acceptable for ;
the short term while corrective actions are being developed to achieve full compliance with Appendix R.
You have also provided additional commitments to continue improvement of the Appendix R safe shutdown capability at Quad Cities including: a study of multiple spurious operations planned to be completed by August 1,1998 and a point-by-point review of the SSA against Appendix R requirements by August 15,1998. In addition, during the May 22,1998, inspection exit meeting and as documented in Reference (3), you committed, as part of an effort to strengthen the overall fire protection and safe shutdown capabilities at the Quad Cities station, to reduce the ;
need to evacuate the control room and to improve electrical control and distribution, including l actions that will result in the availability of 125V DC breaker control power during fires in certain plant areas. It is our understanding, based on Reference (3) and discussion at the 4 aforementioned exit meeting, that you intend to complete these improvements at the earliest !'
practical date and not later than the first refueling outage for each unit following the end of 1998, the date by which these improvements will be identified. It is important that these additional activities be completed in a timely, thorough, and high quality manner to ensure previous problems with planning for a safe shutdown in the event of a fire at Quad Cities do not recur.
Based on the NRC inspection activities identified above, the compensatory actions you have committed to put in place before startup of Unit 2, discussions between your staff and the NRC during the bi-weekly public meetings, and our review of your docketed correspondence, I have determined that your actions pursuant to CAL Rill-98-001 are adequate to close the CAL.
In addition to the Appendix R issues that formed the basis for CAL Rlll-98-001, several other problem areas were identified at Quad Cities during the period that the units have been shutdown. Many of these problem areas and your resultant actions were documented in References (4) and (5). We have also discussed these issues with you during the bi-weekly meetings rnentioned earlier. We have conducted inspections of your actions to improve performance in some of these areas, including a maintenance rule followup inspection, a design inspection utilizing an architect / engineer team, a corrective action inspection, and continuing inspections by our Quad Cities resident inspection office staff.
1 O. Kingsley . j With the completion of our inspection activities and the bi-weekly status meetings, we have conc!uded the issues at Quad Cities have been sufficiently addressed to support the startup of Unit 2. We have concluded that when you complete the remaining actions you have described for Unit 1, conditions will be acceptable to support the startup of Unit 1 wlth no further action on )
our part. While we recognize the resolve and determination of your staff to complete the CAL action items and the other corrective action issues, continued vigilance will be necessary to ensure that the positive changes initiated at the Quad Cities Station are permanently integre,ted into the plant staffs day-to-day activities, and the problems that resulted in the need for these actions do not recur.
We will continue to closely monitor the progress of Qua'd Cities through our inspection program.
