' 440.1 - The use of the VISIONS code in the analysis of load follow transients appears to be a change from previously approved methodology. Has VISIONS been submitted and reviewed by the NRC? How has it been qualified for use in safety and analyses?

440.2 - Verification of the adequacy of the CEAs to meet the required 4.0

'second 90% insertion scram time has been determined by testing in the C-E TF-2 flow test facility. In view of the recently observed longer scram times in ANO-2 when testing the simultaneous tripping of all CEAs compared to individual CEAs, describe how this testing was performed and any anticipated I changes to the test procedure.
