percent, (2) define the times to start depressurization, (3) extend the core
' residence time of the fuel test elements _ and -(4) specify operator action.
time limits for power-to-flow ratios as per S.L. 3.1.
This amendment is. based on. revised data and analysis which correct certain inconsistencies with the FSAR for this facility,--identified in.1977. These inconsistencies had~ resulted in a. hold in the test program at the 70 percent. level while they were resolved.
- Now that they are resolved,.- the hold in the test program is no' longer needed,-
