LICENSEE VOLUNTARY RESTRICTION ON POWER LEVEL I
j Region I (Philadelphia) was informed that following correction of a problem which required plant shutdown on March 9, 1976, the return to operation was being voluntarily restricted to 25 percent power.
4 The licensee has restricted power level based on a recent and specific analysis by GE of extended operation without the isolation condenser and j
following an assumed transient involving loss of the feedwater system..
Analyses completed for 25 percent power indicate no problem. NRR has l
determined that this analysis is unique to the Millstone facility.
l Media interest is possible because of the sensitivity to nuclear power issues in Connecticut. The State of Connecticut has been informed.

planned by Inspection and Enforcement at this moment.
