in Reference 1 Coned commited to provide an operability assessment for Byron Unit 1

,I f/

3.0 Volt Interim Plugging Criteria (IPC) leakage based upon the root cause evaluation of the Braidwood Unit 1 as-found versus predicted leakage values. Reference 2 provided a

'H preliminary discussion of leakage due to application of IPC considering the as-found versus predicted leakage values obtained at Braidwood Unit 1. The attached operability assessment incorporates the results of the Braidwood root cause evaluation which concluded that a voltage dependent growth rate correlation was needed to more accurately predict IPC leakage. This was discussed at the Reference 3 meeting. During

/

the root cause evaluation, it was also discovered that inconsi tent plant conditions were used for comparing calculated leakage against the site alt
