NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. 50–295 and 50–304]

Commonwealth Edison Co., (Zion

Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and

2); Exemption

I

Commonwealth Edison Company

(ComEd or the licensee) is the holder of

Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–39

and DPR–48, which authorize operation

of the Zion Nuclear Power Station, Unit

Nos. 1 and 2, at a steady-state reactor

power level not in excess of 3250

megawatts thermal. The facilities are

pressurized water reactors located at the

licensee’s site in Lake County, Illinois.

The licenses provide, among other

things, that the Zion Nuclear Power

Station is subject to all rules,

regulations, and Orders of the U.S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the

Commission or NRC) now or hereafter

in effect.

II

Sections III.C and III.D.3 of 10 CFR

part 50, appendix J, option A, require

that Type C local leakage rate periodic

tests shall be performed during reactor

shutdown for refueling, or other

convenient intervals, but in no case at

intervals greater than 2 years. These

requirements are reflected in the Zion

Technical Specifications (TS) as

requirements to perform Type C

containment leakage rate testing in

accordance with 10 CFR part 50,

appendix J, and approved exemptions.

III

The licensee has determined that

certain containment isolation pathways

have not been locally leakage rate tested

(Type C tests) as required by option A

of appendix J to 10 CFR part 50. In a

letter dated August 16, 1995, the

licensee requested relief from the

requirement to perform the Type C

containment leakage rate tests of certain

penetrations and valves in these

pathways in accordance with the

requirements of sections III.C and III.D

of 10 CFR part 50, appendix J, option A.

On August 16, 1995, the staff authorized

in writing, continued operation of the

Zion units in a notice of enforcement

discretion (NOED) until such time as the
