10 CFR Part 21 Notification of Defect Relative to Transient Analyses at

Exposures Prior to End of Cycle



During the evaluation of the potential defect identified in Reference 1,

it was determined that the operating limits for LaSalle Unit 2, Cycle 8

could have been exceeded during operation at low power, high flow, and

with certain equipment out-of-service.  Note that startup for Cycle 8 has

been delayed until the Fail of 1998.  Therefore, the plant has never

operated under the conditions analyzed.  Commonwealth Edison has been

notified of this defect and has been provided with revised limits.



Additionally it should be noted that the impact on other potentially

affected licensees was evaluated.  It war concluded that ail other

operating limits supported by SPC analyses remain applicable.
