Contrary to the above, although the four Annual Radiological Environmental Operating reports covering the years 1985 to 1988 included summaries, the i results of the analyses of the radiological environmental samples taken during the respective periods were not included. ,

Responsel Commonwealth Edison acknowledges that-the 1985, 1986, 1987 ar.d 1988 Annual Environmental Reports did not contain the results of the m lyses of the radiological environmental samples takea during the respw tive periods.

Rather than including the individual data points in the report, a sumr.ary of the individual d&ta points was included and the individual data pointt weie {.

available for review, i Byron Station's environmental monitoring program continues to function within i =

the legal requirements and administrative guidelines to ensure the health and safety of the public.
