Docket No. 50-457

Commonwealth Edison Company

ATTN: Mr. Cordell Reed

Vice President

Post Office Box 767

Chicago, IL. 60690

Gentlemen:

Thank you for your letter dated May 6,1985, informing us of the steps you

have taken to correct the items of noncompliance which we brought to your

attention in Inspection Report Nos. 50-456/85006 and 50-457/85006 forwarded

by our letter dated March 8,1985.

Your response to Item 1 of the' Notice of Violation stated that you do not agree

that this is a violation of your commitment to the requirements of ANSI

N45.2.6-1978. We are referring this to NRC Headquarters for guidance on this

matter and will contact you later as to our decision.

Regarding your response to Item 2.a of the Notice of Violation, we agree that

this is not an exanple of noncompliance (and we will remove it from our records).

The information presented in your response was not known to the NRC inspector

at the time of the inspection.

Regarding your response to Item 2.b of the Notice of Violation, we have

reviewed the information in your response and still believe this is an example

of noncompliance. This matter was discussed with members of your staff during

a meeting on May 17, 1985. During this meeting your staff stated that the

following actions had been initiated in regards to invalidated observations /

discrepancies:

1. BCAP QA has established mandatory Hold Points during the

processing of invalidated observations / discrepancies to allow

QA to review the justification for invalidation.

2. BCAP QA would review previously invalidated observations /

discrepancies to ensure that sufficient justification for

the invalidations exists.

Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
