Eng.is for Decision:
Following installation of new control rods at Yankee-Rowe during 1972, a rigorous control rod test program was specified. '
~
Control rod drop testini is required to be performed every
~
14 weeks with the reactor shutdown.
Reliabic. performance of the new Yankee-Rowe control rods has been v'erified by eight ccus ca m eo ouc curing reactor shutdown. We expect Yankee to submi,t a' tech spec change to extend the surveillance

- we w accordance with Standard Tech Specs' applicable to Yankee-P~e.

- wn and power from Yankee-Rowe will be needed. The LCO, viz. control rod drop time of 2.4 seconds remains unchanged.
In view of the above the temporary extension of the 12-week surveillance interval by four weeks. does not involva nn un-reviewed safety question, 'since it will not increase the probabi '
lity or consequence of an accident previously analyzed, nor decrease any safety margin.
