PEACH BOTTOM UNIT 2 RESTART 1
Peach Bottom Unit 2 initiated startup on April 26, 1989 after receiving approvt' from the Regional Administrator to operate unit 2 at power levels not exceeding 35                     -
t of full power. The partial release from the Order shutting down the facility came after the utility announced they had completed all work and all systems were ready to support restart operations.
Criticality was achieved at 0544 on April 27, 1989. The licensee will be performing control rod manipulations for the next two days to give operating crews, particularly cold licensed operators, an opportunity to take the plant critical.
NRC inspectors have verified the readiness of the unit for operations. Mr. Russell, the Regional Administrator, signed the letter modifying the Order. The NRC has additional inspectors on site to monitor around the clock the startup and initial phase of the power testing program which is scheduled for about fourteen weeks.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and State of Maryland have been informed and                              I representatives are on site to observe startup activities.
