E-04-0002 LDCR 03-FO51 This revision to the UFSAR applies Unit 2 power uprate methodology This change does not require prior NRC approval (crediting refilling the faulted SG during a sheared shaft event) to Units I in accordance with IOCFR50.59(cX 1).

and 3 so the LPZ doses remain bounded by the EAB doses. This will result in the UFSAR description for sheared shaft not having to include different methodologies (operator action) for the different power levels.

E-04-0003 TMWO 2691309 This Temporary Modification installed power from normal lighting panel This change does not require prior NRC approval IE-QAN-DO8A, through a temporary 480/120VAC step down in accordance with 10CFR50.59(c)(1).

transformer to essential lighting panel lE-QBN-D81. The temporary power maintained power to fire protection panels and control room lighting while the PBA-S03 and NAN-SO1 (normal permanent power) buses were de-energized at the same time for maintenance.

E-04-0004 TMWO 2696713 This Temporary Modification removed the Refueling Machine hoist box This change does not require prior NRC approval spreader and associated limit switches, and jumpered the spreader "UP" in accordance with I OCFR50.59(c)(1).
