Docket No. 50-5 Gentlemen:

In accordance with section 59(b) of 10 CFR 50, the Penn State Breazeale Reactor reports certain minor changes made to its facility during the calendar year 1985. These changes are as follows:

1. In April, a power on light was installed on the motor control box for the Emergency Exhaust System blower. This light on the motor side of the breaker, which is visible from the reactor control console, indicates, when lit, that power is available to the motor.

During a _ previous power f ailure, a circuit breaker controlling power to this blower motor had tripped and was not detected until the next weekly check. With the power on indicating light, a tripped breaker would be detected more readily.

2. On May 6,1985, a new fuel temperature meter with scram capability was installed on the console. Its range is 0-700*

C and presently has a scram setting of 590-600a C. The range of the recorder temperature readout during pulsing was adjusted from 0-600* C to 0-700o C to cover the same range as the new meter.

l This change is mandated by revised Technical Specifications submitted, but not yet approved, in conjunction with an application for a renewal of f acility license CDW (R-2).

2 3 Throughout the year, minor changes were made to facility procedures . These changes were made to update procedures to

- account for equipment changes, i.e., operation, calibration and testing of the new fuel temperature meter, and to clarify references among procedures. N
