Subject:  10CFR21 Interim Report 21-97-042: Discrepancies Between General

          Electric Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) Design Requirements

          Documents and System Vendor Manuals



Dear Madam or Sir:



     On August 21, 1997, Illinois Power (IP) identified a discrepancy

between the General Electric (GE) Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) design

requirements 22A5604, "Turbine-Generator Control Requirements GE-Nuclear

Energy Division," and the field line-up instructions contained in GE

vendor manual K2804-0007C, "GEK-64903, Volume III, Steam Turbine-

Generator (EHC and TSI Section)." The specific discrepancy identified was

a difference between the GE BWR Design Requirements document and the

system vendor manual for the specified closing rate of the turbine

control valves.  Condition Report (CR) 1-97-08-183 was initiated to track

an investigation of this issue.



     On August 27, 1997, during investigation of CR 1-97-08-183, IP

determined that conflicts may exist between other GE BWR Design

requirements documents and the system vendor manuals.  Condition Report

(CR) 1-97-08-303 was initiated to track an investigation of this issue.



     This issue was determined to be potentially reportable under the

provisions of 10CFR21 on September 2, 1997.  IP's evaluation of this

condition under 10CFR21 has not yet been completed.  IP does not have a

firm date for resolving this issue but will provide, as a minimum, an

update on the resolution progress by December 18, 1997.

                                                       Page 2

contacting K. E. Moore, Plant Engineering, at (217) 935-8881, extension

                                        Sincerely yours,



                                        J. G. Cook
