1 1.

The idle loop startup transient has been analyzed in your FSAR from an initial power of 60%.

In NED0-21252, page 4-1, it states that

" operation with one recirculation loop results in a maximum power output which is 20 to 30% below that from (sic) which can be attained for two-pump operation." Is 60% power the most severe If initial power for the idle loop startup transient analysis?

not, revise the analysis using the most severe initial power level.

What effect will reverse flow have on jet pump vibration, specifically 2.

risers, supports, and baffle plates?

What effect will asymmetric flow have on instrument housings located 3.

in the lower plenum?
