SUMMARY

Date of Affected Affected Summary Change Section Page(s) 07/18/08 B 3.3.3 . B 3.3.3-6 Changed last paragraph to clarify that the Containment Wide Range Pressure indication is a Regulatory Guide I.97 Type B variable.

08/05/08 B 3.4.1 B 3.4.1-1 Changed fifth paragraph to clarify that the RCS flow rate is determined by a precision calorimetric, and not by flow rate averaging, for comparison to the DNBR limit.

B 3.4.1-3 Changed second paragraph under ACTIONS to clarify that the calorimetric RCS total flow rate, not the indicated RCS flow rate, determines whether power must be reduced, etc.

08/06/08 B 3.4.1 6 B 3.4.1 6-1 Incorporates TSTF 490, Deletion of E-Bar definition and through Revision to Reactor Coolan't System Specific Activity, per B 3.4.16-5 Amendments 2331238. Replaced the limits on primary coolant gross activity with limits on primary coolant noble gas activity. Replaced the figure of primary coolant iodine concentration as a function of reactor power with a single value applicable to any power level.

10/03/08 B 3.4.2 B 3.4.2-2 Corrected reference to special test exception in second paragraph of APPLICABILITY section from LC0 3.1 -9, Mode 2 Physics Test Exceptions, to LC0 3.1.8, Physics Tests Exceptions - MODE 2.

10115/08 B 3.8.7 B 3.8.7-4 Added second and third paragraphs under SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS to clarify that the inverters are within industry standards, regulate voltage within a narrow range that does not vary significantly between normal and accident conditions, and the design features and alarms ensure that the inverter frequency is maintained within desirable limits.

1Ill7/08 B 3.4.3 B 3.4.3-7 Changed Reference Ifrom Wisconsin Electric Calculation 2000-0001, Revision 0, P-T and LTOP Setpoints, to Technical Requirements Manual, TRM 2.2, Pressure Temperature Limits Report.
