with the guidance provided in Reference 2.

OPPD proposes to amend the following sections in the FCS Unit No.1 TS as follows:

. the cycle-specific parameter limit for" Shutdown Margin With coiT o>210 F"is to be removed from Section 2.10.2(1)" Shutdown Margin With Ta>210 F," and replaced with a reference to this limit in the COLR. Also, the minimum shutdown margin value is removed from the associated Basis section for Shutdown Margin and replaced with a reference to this limit in the COLR,

. the cycle-specific parameter for negative " Moderator Temperature Coefficient"is to be removed from Section 2.10.2(3), " Moderator Temperature Coefficient," and replaced with a reference to this limit in the COLR, and a the cycle-specific " Minimum Boric Acid Storage Tank (BAST) Level versus BAST Concentration" figure (Figure 2-11) is to be removed from Section 2.2," Chemical and Volume Control System," and replaced with references in TS Section 2.2.7,

" Borated Water Source - Shutdown," and 2.2.8, " Borated Water Source - Operating,"

to this figure in the COLR.
