INSTRUMENTATION INCORE DETECTORS LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.3.3.2 The incore detection system shall be OPERABLE with:

a.

At least 40K of all incore detector locations, and b.

A minimum of three quadrant symmetric incore detectors for at least three levels.

An OPERABLE incore detector location shall consist of a

fuel assembly containi ng a fixed detector string with a

minimum of three OPERABLE rhodium detectors.

APPLICABILITY:

When the incore detection system is used for:

a.

Recalibration of the excore axial flux offset detection

system, b.

Monitoring the AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT, c.

Calibration of the power level neutron flux channels, or ACTION:

d.

Monitoring the linear heat rate.

With the incore detection system inoperable, do not use the system for the above applicable monitoring or calibration functions.

The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.3.3.2 The incore detection system shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:

a.

By performance of a

CHANNEL CHECK within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to its use and at least once per 7 days thereafter when required for:

1.

Recalibration of the excore axial flux offset detection system.

2.

Monitoring the linear heat rate pursuant to Specification 4.2.1.3, ST.

Public disclosure of the information is likely to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of Combustion Engineering because:

a.

A similar product is manufactured and sold by major pressurized water reactors competitors of Combustion Engineering.

b.

Development of this information by C-E required hundreds of manhours of effort and tens of thousands of dollars.

To the best of my knowledge and belief a competitor would have to undergo similar expense in generating equivalent information.

c.

In order to acquire such information, a competitor would also require considerable time and inconvenience related to the development of methods and statistical models for determining power distribution measurement uncertainties.

d.

The information required significant effort and expense to obtain the. licensing approvals necessary for applicati'on of the information.

Avoidance of this expense would decrease a competitor's cost in applying the information and marketing the product to which the information is applicable.

e.

The information consists of methods and statistical models for the determination of power distribution measurement uncertainties, the application of which provides a competitive economic advantage.

The availability of such information to competitors would enable them to modify their product to better compete with Combustion Engineering, take marketing or other actions to improve their product's position or impair the position of Combustion Engineering's

product, and avoid developing similar data and analyses in support of their processes, methods or apparatus.

f.

In pricing Combustion Engineering's products and services, significant research, development, engineering, analytical, manufacturing, licensing, quality assurance and 'other costs and expenses must be included.

p The ability of Combustion Engineering's competitors to utilize such information without similar expenditure of resources may enable them to sell at prices ref 1 ecting si gnificantly 1 ower costs.

g.

Use of the information by competitors in the international marketplace would increase their ability to market nuclear steam supply systems by reducing the costs associated with their technology development.

In addition, disclosure would have an adverse economic impact on Combustion Engineering's potential for obtaining or maintaining foreign licensees.

Further the deponent sayeth not. I P.
