A.

require a MODE reduction to MODE 4 in order to perform the necessary engineering evaluation of PCS Integrity.

B.

require a MODE reduction to MODE 6, and when the first Reactor Vessel head bolt is less than fully tensioned, this safety limit no longer applies.

C.

do NOT require a MODE reduction because the PCS was hydro tested to 125% of design pressure (3125 psia) and that pressure was NOT reached.

D.

do NOT require a MODE reduction because reducing MODES would add further thermal gradient stress due to the cooldown to the existing pressure stress.
