Dear Mr. Keppler:

In accordance with the provisions of Reference (1), a Special Report is submitted covering results of sampling and analysis actions together with additional operational information for three separate occasions when reacto.

thermal power changed by more than 15% of Rated Thermal Power within one hour while in Operational Condition 1 and 2.

The separate occasions are discussed in sections 1, 2 and 3 as follows:

SECTION 1 July 25, 1985 SECTION 2- -September 9, 1985 SECTION 3-- -September 14, 1985 >

Each section provides a summary of operating data and radiological data for the time period prior to the thermal power change along with the results of the additional samplitg required.

If there are any questions concerning this report, please contact us.

INTRODUCTION SPECIAL REPORT 85-03 LACBWR Technical Specifications, Section 4.2.2.22, Action g, requires sampling and analysis for Iodine-131, -133, and -135, as well as gross beta and ga ama activity between 2 and 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> following a thermal power change of greatet than 15% of rated thermal power within one hour. This special report is required to contain the information determined by the analysis plus additional information regarding reactor power history, fuel burnup, cleanup flow history, offgas activity levels and gross alpha activity levels.

SECTION 1 At 1115 on July 25, 1985, the reactor scrammed from 96.5% power due to a ground in the gas pressure scram circuit on the Control Rod Drive No. 8.
