- The Quad Cities Unit 1 Cycle 11 core consists of NRC approved fuel designs:and was designed to' operate under currently approved fuel design q
parameters, Technical Specifications and related bases such that:

b Dr. T.E. Nurley October 11, 1989 Commonwealth Edison has performed a detailed review of the relevant licensing documents, the bases, and references.
Based on the review..a safety j
evaluation was prepared as required by 10 CFR 50.5?(a,b) and submitted to On-Site and Off-Site Review. As in the past, the. reload licensing documents j
.were prepared using previously approved methodologies as reported in the FSAR NEDE-24011 (GESTAR), and other generically approved documents.
i
.: Edison has reviewed the cycle-specific licensing results and concluded j
that additional Technical-Specification changes are not required for Cycle 11-operation at Quad Cities Unit 1 assuming the reference amendment receives NRC approval.
Furthermore, Edison has completed On-Site and Off-Site Reviews-which determined that no unreviewed safety questions are created by the reload.

'Therefore, application for an amendment to the Quad Cities Unit 1 1
operating license is not required for resumption of operation with the Cycle 11 reload core.
The estimated startup is November 20, 1989.
