DOCKETS NOS. 50-237, 50-249, 50-254 AND 50-265
Introduction
By letter dated September 15, 1977 we transmitted to Commonwealth Edison Company (CECo) NUREG-0313, "Technical Report on Material Selection and Processing Guidelines for the BWR Coolant Pressure Boundary Piping". We requested that CECo review Dresden Station Unit Nos. 2 and 3 and the Quad Cities Station , Unit Nos. 1 and 2 to determine conformance, and that CECo propose appropriate Technical Specification changes. By letter of February 3,
4W 1978 CECo committed to increasing sump flow monitoring frequency from once per day to once per eight hour shift. By letter of May 22, 1978, CECo proposed Technical Specification changes to require the increased monitoring and recording frequency.
Eval uation
The proposal to increase the surveillance frequency for drywell sump flow monitoring and recording to once per eight hour Shift will significantly reduce the period of time during which a leak having a leak rate in excess of a limiting condition for operation might go undetected. The proposed change increases a surveillance requirement, is conservative with respect to the present requirement, and'is acceptable.
Environmental Considerations
We have determined that these amendments do not authorize a change in effluent types or total amounts nor an increase in power level and will not result in any significant environmental impact. Having made this determination, we have further concluded that these amendments involve an action which is insignificant from the standpoint of environmental impact and pursuant to 10 CFR 951.5(d)(4) that an environmental impact statement, or negative declaration and environmental impact appraisal need not be prepared in connection with the issuance of these amendments.
8194130 l
-
Ccnclusion
We have concluded based on the considerations discussed above, that:
(1) because the amendments do not involve a significant increase in the
probability or consequences of accidents previously considered and do not
involve a significant decrease in a safety margin, the amendments do not
involve a significant hazards considerations (2) there is reasonable
assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered
by operation in the proposed manner, and (3) such activities will be con
ducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations and the issuance
of these amendments will not be inimical to the common defense and security
or to the health and safety of the public.

NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF AMENDMENTS TO OPERATING LICENSES
THe U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (the Commission) has issued
Amendment No. 57 to Provisional Operating License No. DPR-19 and Amendment
No. 50 to Facility Operating License No. DPR-25, issued to Commonwealth
Edison Company, which revised the Technical Specifications for operation
of the Dresden Nuclear Power Station, Unit Nos. 2 and 3, respectively,
located in Grundy County, Illinois. The Commission has also issued
Amendment No. 65 to Operating License DPR-29 and Amendment No. 5 9 to
Facility Operating License No. DPR-30 issued to Commonwealth Edison
Company and Iowa-Illinois Gas and Electric Company, which revised the
Technical Specifications for operation of the Quad Cities Nuclear
Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2, located in Rock Island County, Illinois.
The amendments revise the Technical Specifications to increase the
sump flow monitoring surveillance frequency from once per day to once
per eight hour shift.

The application for amendments complies with the standards and
requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's rules and regulations. The Commission has made
appropriate findings as required by the Act and the Commission's rules
and regulations in 10 CFR Chapter I, which are set forth in the license
amendments. Prior public notice of these amendments was not required
since the amendments do not involve a significant hazards consideration.
The Commission has determined that the issuance of these amendments
will not result in any significant environmental impact and that pursuant
to 10 CFR Section 51.5 (d)(4) an environmental impact statement or negative
declaration and environmental imapct appraisal need not be prepared in
connection with issuance of these amendments.
For further details with respect to this action, see (1) the application
for amendments dated May 22, 1978, (2) Amendment No. 57 to Provisional
Operating License No. DPR-19, Amendment No. 50 to Facility Operating
