Subject:

ANO-2 Cycle 10 COLSS and CPCS Addressable Constants for a Reduced i

Number of Operable incore Detectors

Dear Mr. Philpott:

This letter provides revised COLSS and CPCS addressable constants and COLSS database constant K09 for ANO-2 Cycle 10 based on an analysis assuming a reduction in the Technical Specification 3.3.3.2 minimum percent operable incore detector locations from 75% to a value as low as 50%. The information i

provided in this letter has been verified in accordance with ABB-Combustion Engineering Nuclear Fuel Quality Assurance procedures.

i The revised COLSS and CPCS constants are provided in Enclosure 1.

i also contains a Software Media Transfer Form to be signed and returned to M.

A. Book at ABB Windsor. contains supporting information, j

including an administrative procedure change, for the proposed Technical Specification change and a marked up copy of the proposed new Technical i

Specification.

The information provided in this letter supercedes that provided, based on i

engineering judgement, in Reference 1.

As expected, the information provided in Reference I has been shown to have excess conservatism.

If you have any questions on the contents of this lettcr, please contact me or Mr. Sasan Etemadi at (203) 285-3647.

Sincerely, COMBUSTION ENGINEERING, INC.
