Subject:

Revision to Schedule for Analytically Demonstrating Predicted Reactor Vessel Head Closure Stud Cumulative Usage Factor

Reference:

Letter from E. S. Kraft, Jr. (Comed), SVP-98-068, to USNRC, dated February 26,1998, " Reactor Vessel Closure Studs" The purpose of this 'etter is to inform the NRC of a revision to the schedule for analytically demonstrating that the Cumulative Usage Factor (CUF) for the reactor vessel head closure studs will remain below 1.0 for the remainder of the current license period. The CUF analysis was scheduled to be completed by March 31,1999, as described in the referenced letter.

Subsequent to the Site VP letter referenced above, Commonwealth Edison (Comed)

Company commissioned General Electric (GE) to perform an analysis of the Closure Stud Tensioning Process for Quad Cities Nuclear Power Station, Unit I and Unit 2, with regard to service stresses and fatigue usage. The analysis, GE-NE-B13-01989-02, Revision 0, confirmed that the CUF will reach 1.0 during 2002. D Based on the assurance that the CUF will remain below 1.0, Comed reprioritized the work being performed by the vendor to address other Comed significant work at LaSalle and Dresden Stations. This reprioritization resulted in the rescheduling completion of the remaining life calculation for our Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV)

Oj studs until July 9,1999.
