o ,,i ; level recorder 5049 was indicating high and did not meet the acceptance criteria spectl-loIsl 1 fied in station surveillance test numbr 2.1.15.

An investigation revealed that the_J lo l6 j l instrument was approximately four percent out of calibration. Tne instrument was ad d l 0 l 7 l l ju3ted, TOCalibrated and returned to service the same day. This minor calibration l Ioisl I problem could not permit torus water level to exceed the technical specification limilt.
