Cycle 6 Startup Physics Testing

Dear Sir:

During conversation with Ms. Chatterton of your staff on May 27, 1981, we agreed to add an additional test to those listed on Table 7.1 found on page 126 of Reference (2). This additional test consists of a measurement using INCA to monitor in-core tilt as a funct' n of reactor power level.

We have enclosed a revised page of Table 7.1 for your information.

Very truly yours, MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY AA e
