                      EDISON PLANT FAILS TO PASS ITS OWN TEST 

                      By Peter Kendall, Tribune Environment Writer

Commonwealth Edison Co. has plenty of experience
getting rapped by federal regulators for its problem-plagued
Dresden nuclear power plant. But in recent weeks, it has been ripped for yet
another plant--and by somebody even tougher than the feds: its own consultants.

A group of consultants hired by the utility to
look over its LaSalle Nuclear Station
criticized Edison across the board, 
suggesting that the nation's largest nuclear utility continues
to struggle with the fundamentals of running a
nuclear power plant.
