1.

Topic IV-1.A Page 6, Paragraph 1 - The sentence reading, "The same reduction in set point would relate to the overpressure trip" should be deleted and replaced with a sentence reading, " Reactor operating pressure would be the same for single-pump operation as for two-pump operation (1350 psia); therefore, the prox-imity to the high-pressure trip (1450 psia) would be the same in both cases."

2.

Topic V-10.A Page 3, Paragraph 2 - The second sentence should be revised to read, "Because the service water pressure at these heat exchangers varies from approximately 20 to h5 psig, the possibility exists...."
