The NRC was informed that the program was scheduled to be in place prior to the next use of hydra =eters for perfomance of Technical Specification surveillance testing.

Consumers Power Company was not able to procure a (National Bureau of Standards) NBS-traceable hydrometer prior to the next performance of station battery surveillance. Accordingly, the hydrometers used were segrated following the surveillance. The NBS-traceable hydrometer was subsequently received and the hydrometers used for the surveillances were satisfactorily compared to it. The results of this calibration are attached for reference.
