You stated in the February 6, 1998, letter that LOFTRAN code was used to reanalyze

~ - - - -

- steam-line break events using%he revised values.(i.e allowable. value and setpoint);

'lease provide the version of the code used in this amendment.

Has this code and version been approved by the NRC (give reference to NRC-approved Westinghouse topical report)?

2.

Please provide results of your reanalyses.

3.

UFSAR indicates that the reactor control system is designed to accommodate a 10%

step or 5% ramp load increases...

without a reactor trip in the range of 12.8% to 100%

reactor power.

However, you stated in the September 29, 1997, letter that a reactor trip would not occur in the range of 15% to 100% reactor power.

Please clarify.
