Technical Specifications and Environmental Plan The Technical Specifications contained in Appendices A and B, as revised through Amendment No.261, are hereby incorporated in the license.

The licensee shall operate the facility in accordance with the Technical Specifications.

(3)

Special Low Power Test Program PSE&G shall complete the training portion of the Special Low Power Test Program in accordance with PSE&G's letter dated September 5, 1980 and in accordance with the Commission's Safety Evaluation Report "Special Low Power Test Program",

dated August 22, 1980 (See Amendment No.

2 to DPR-75 for the Salem Nuclear Generating Station, Unit No.

2) prior to operating the facility at a power level above five percent.

Within 31 days following completion of the power ascension testing program outlined in Chapter 13 of the Final Safety Analysis Report, PSE&G shall perform a boron mixing and cooldown test using decay heat and Natural Circulation.

PSE&G shall submit the test.procedure to the NRC for review and approval prior to performance of the test.

The results of this test shall be submitted to the NRC prior to starting up following the first refueling outage.

  • (4)

Initial Test Program PSE&G shall conduct the post-fuel-loading initial test program (set forth in Chapter 13 of the Final Safety Analysis Report, as amended) without making any major modifications of this program unless modifications have been identified and have received prior NRC approval.

Major modifications are defined as:

(a)

Elimination of any test identified in Chapter 13 of the Final Safety Analysis Report, as amended, as essential; (b)

Modification of test objectives, methods or acceptance criteria for any test identified in Chapter 13 of the Final Safety Analysis Report, as amended, as essential; (c)

Performance of any test at a power level different by more than five percent of rated power from there described; and Amendment No.

.POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.2.2.1 The provisions of Specification 4.0.4 are not applicable.

4.2.2.2 FxY shall be evaluated to determine if FQ(Z) is within its limit by:

a.

Using the movable incore detectors to obtain a power distribution map:

1. When THERMAL POWER is
  • 25%,

but > 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER, or

2.

When the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is inoperable; and increasing the Measured FQ(Z) by the applicable manufacturing and measurement uncertainties as specified. in the COLR.

b.

Using the PDMS or the moveable incore detectors when THERMAL POWER is

> 25% of RATED THERMAL

POWER, and increasing the measured FQ(Z) by the applicable manufacturing and measurement uncertainties as specified in the COLR.
c.

Comparing the Fx, computed (Fxyc) obtained in b, above to:

1.

The Fy limits for RATED THERMAL POWER (FxYRTP) for the appropriate measured core planes given in

e. and f., below, and
2.

The relationship:

FxyL = FXYRTP

[1 + PFy(l-P)]

where FxyL is the limit for fractional THERMAL POWER operation expressed as a function of FXYRTP, PFY is the power factor multiplier for FxY in the COLR, and P is the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER at which Fxy was measured.

d.

Remeasuring Fxy according to the following schedule:

1.

When Fxyc is greater than the FxyRTP limit for the appropriate measured core plane but less than the F xL relationship, additional core power distribution measurements shall be taken and Fxyc compared to FXY and FxyL:

a)

Either within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after exceeding by 20% of RATED THERMAL POWER or greater, the THERMAL POWER at which FxYc was last determined, or b)

At least once per 31 EFPD, whichever occurs first.
