1 TU Electric has completed and evaluated the low power physics testing and the additional testing that can be completed prior to proceeding above 5% reactor power. provides a listing of the testing that is described in Chapter 14 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) which was conducted during Mode 6 through Mode 2 since the issuance of the CPSES Unit 2 low power operating license.

Additionally, TU Llectric has performed a self-assessment of the readiness of CPSES Unit 2 for proceeding above 5% power in accordance with the description provided in Reference 1.

This self-assessment has been reviewed and evaluated by the Station Operations Review Committee (50RC). The 50RC has concluded that CPSES Unit 2 is ready for operation above 5% power.
