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 l
.
.: 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. .)
1 \
'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. 1 l
