Dear Mr. Denton:

This letter provides an advance copy of a revised page for

.the Byron /Braidwood FSAR.

Prompt NRC. review is needed because a change to the startup test program is involved.

Enclosed is a revision to FSAR table 14.2-82, the startup test' abstract on the power reactivity coefficient measurements.

The acceptance criterion is now expressed in terms of the power reactivity coefficient verification factor.

These-changes have already been discussed with the-NRC staff and we undr.rstand that they are acceptable.

Very truly yours, ke fA/ W T. R. Tramm.

'(I TABLE 14.2-82

. POWER REACTIVITY COEFFICIENT MEASUREMENT (Startup Test)

-Plant Condition or Prerequisites During power level changes at approximately 30%, 50%, 754, and.904 reactor. power.

Test Objective

~

To verify the power coefficient of reactivity.

l Test Summary During power' level changes when the reactivity effects of xenon can be adequately accounted for, measurements will be made of. reactor power and associated reactivity changes as follows:

_- :g'

, Reactor thermal power will be determined using calo-

~ rimetric data.

Associated reactivity changes will i-be measured by the response of T,yg and delta T l

-recorders.

. The power coefficient of reactivity will tue verified from these measurements.

~

Acceptance Criteri_a 1

The absolute value of the difference between the absolute value of the measured powe: coefficient verification factor and the absolute value of the predicted power coefficient verification factor is less than or equal to 0.5 degrees farenheit per percent power.
