~ l Attachment 8 Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation License No. DPR-63 Docket No. 50-220 Supporting Information The proposed change included in Attachment A, provides a more realistic representation of actual Power Void'imits ("8" factors) than the present limits.

The present "8" factor calculations were based on constant dryout times for each of the 7 x 7 and 8 x 8 fuel types.

Subsequent evaluations by General Electric, however, revealed that dryout times are exposure dependent. The re-calculated "8" factors, shown on pages 64c - 64e, reflect these variable dryout times.

It should be noted that the proposed limits are generally more r'estrictive for for Types 2, 4, Fuel Types l and 3, and generally less restrictive 5 and 6. Since Fuel Type 4 is currently limiting power output, the net effect of this change would permit a slight increase in power from the plant.
