On September 15, 2004 at 1600 Hrs. it was determined during an investigation of megawatt output differences between the two LGS Units, that LGS Unit 1 secondary plant parameters were identified as being outside of their expected range. This change occurred over several months at the rate of 0.1 %/month for a total potential error of 0.4%. This data indicates that LGS1 could possibly be above the operating license limit of 3458 MWth. Unit 1 power was reduced to 99% power to 3423 MWth as of 1618 to provide margin to licensed thermal power limit. A written report is required within 30 days in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73.
