RE VEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING IDLE LOOP ISOLATION NINE MILE POINT UNIT NO. l DOCKET NO. 50-220 The idle loop startup transient has been analyzed in your FSAR from an initial power of 90.5 percent.

Is 90.5 percent power the most severe initial power for the idle loop startup transient analysis'?

If not, revise the analyses using the most severe initial power level, or propose Technical Specification limitations restricting reactor power level to no more than 90.5 percent when in the four loop mode.
