If an SRO-l aaUilionally serves In the BOP position, one I/C malfunction can be credited toward the two I/C malfunctions required for the ATC position,

2. Reactivity manipulations may be conducted under normal or controlled abnormal conditions (refer to Section O.5.d) but must be significant per Section C.2.a of Appendix D. (*) Reactivity and normal evolutions may be replaced vith additional I/C malfunctions on a one-for-one basis.
