ATTN: Mr. C. A. McNeill Executive Vice President-Nuclear Correspondence Control Desk P. 0. Box 7520 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19101 Gentlemen:

Subject:

Termination of Requirements of Order RE: Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station, Unit Nos. 2 and 3 On March 31, 1987, the Executive Director for Operations issued an Order directing the Philadelphia Electric Company to shut down Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station and take certain corrective actions to address concerns including failure of both the line organization and the quality assurance progrcm to identify conditions adverse to safety. The actions outlined in your letter of April 6,1987, were evaluated as part of our inspection program and determined to fulfill the requirements of Sections V.A. and V.B of the Order.

In my letter dated October 19, 1988, the NRC accepted your proposed " Plan for Restart of Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station" in response to the requirements set forth in Section V.C. of.the Order. We conducted an assessment of your implementation of this plan during an Integrated Assessment Team Inspection in February 1989, and concluded that your performance relative to the Peach Bottom facility was at a level sufficient to support safe startup and operation of the facility and that there were no fundamental flaws that would inhibit your l ability to ensure reactor or public safety during plant operation.

On April 26, June 28, and again on July 21, 1989, I relaxed the requirements set forth in Section V.A. of the Order to permit operation of Unit 2 at 35%, 70%

and full power respectively. We conducted an assessment at the 100% NRC holdpoint of your Power Ascension Testing Program. As a resulL, the staff determined that management continues to be aggressive in problem resolution and is directly involved in assuring nuclear safety.
