i
. Operation above 5-10% of f ull power permits testing of~most normal systeas, including the turbine generator.
Nothing is magic about-205.

normally-done at several levels on the way to full power.
If.a 20%' power license is issued laitially, a 2chedule saving of.6 to.8 weeks'is possible.
If the 20% license follows some lower power license the benefit is reduced, of course.
