NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION f

WASHINGTON. D.C. 20066 4001 49.....,o June 4, 1998 Mr. Oliver D. Kingsley, President Nuclear Generation Group Commonwealth Edison Company Executive Towers West til 1400 Opus Place, suite 500 Downers Grove,IL 60515

SUBJECT:

COMPLETION OF LICENSING ACTION FOR GENERIC LETTER 97-04 LASALLE COUNTY STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 (TAC NOS. MA0002 AND MA0003)

Dear Mr. Kingsley:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission issued Generic Letter (GL) 97-04, " Assurance of Sufficient Net Positive Suction Head for Emergency Core Cooling and Containment Heat Removal Pumps," to all holders of operating licenses or construction permits on October 7,1997.

- The NRC issued GL 97-04 to confirm the adequacy of the not positive suction head (NPSH) l available for emergency core cooling (including core spray and decay heat removal) and containment heat removal pumps under all design-bas:s accident scenarios.

In GL 97-04, the NRC staff specifically requested that licensees provide the information outlined below for each of their facilities.

1. Specify the general methodology used to calculate the head lo ss associated with the emergency core cooling system (ECCS) suction strainers.
2. Identify the required NPSH and the available NPSH.
3. Specify whether the current design-basis NPSH analysis differs from the most recent analysis l'

reviewed and approved by the NRC for which a safety evaluation was issued.

4. Specify whether containment overpressure (i.e., containment pressure above the vapor l

- pressure of the sump or suppression pool fluid) was credited in the calculation of available j

NPSH. Specify the amount of overpressure needed and the minimum overpressure availab!e.

5. When containment overpressure is credited in the calculation of available NPSH, confirm that an appropriate containment pressure analysis was done to establish the minimum l

containment pressure.
