[iTff, [ Duri nq rqactor plantgtartup,j Condansa tt5toraqa Ter[ Level was belyy: the level j g [ required by Spacification 3.7.1.3 for a perind of less than 30 minutes.

The low level J [o_Lil Leondition was the result of regeneration of the Condensate Polishing Dcninuralizers I

gg [ coincident with increased Stean Generator blo-zdu.in dua to high chlorides and conduc-j [oTiT] [ tivity causing hich water usage.

There are no probable consegunnces b2cause the unit I [T]T] l was operated in accordance with Technical Specification 3.7.1.3.
