continued plant operation with two SRVs out of service. (Currently, only one SRV out of '

' Updated SRV Performance Requirements for the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant' (NEDC 31697P). Since this report contains proprietary information, copies will be transmitted under a scparate cover. ,
