r Questions, Submitted by John Loges, Colorado Public Interest Research Group 1.If the reactor is pushed toward its rated capacity, will the efficiency change comparably?

2. Since increased efficiency would apparently require increased temperature, do you perceive a problem with continuing shrinkage?

3. Has tha_ proposed. Emergency Safety. Tower been_ cited, and, if so, has the Incation been chosen? r .

4 on what consideratio[/har-Win5;

=" thaMoweno ~badona+-a fer Stn * "" I N*=bc '/) b~ ~op c is pushed beyond 70%?

5. Have PSco and other public officials and. suthorities complied fully with the psevisions of the latest-NRC reguls tions? -

6_. When will there be evacuation drills to determine whether new safety plans are in fact practical?

7. _Have you resolved the issue of having an expert emergency techniciah on 30 minute call?

8. What are the results of the recent computer analysis of the l

performance of the core of the reactor?

9. Is there stin a problem with the carbon cadding en the fuel rods? are there sti n changes in configuration?

10. If the roda do change configuration,does the change anffect

~

safety considerations?

11. Will the capacity increases be accompanted k[n'the kind of amounts of radiation generated by the reactor?

12. Of the radio-isotopes generated by the plant, how is it decided which ones to monitor? Which ones are monitored?

13. Given the exceptionally long time the plant has required to 1 become commercially operational, win the designed life span )

of the plant han to be re-appraised to consider the deter-ioration of materials caused by aging?

14. When will the transcript of the NRCACRS meeting on Monday, January 26 become available?
