Dear Mr. Giambusso:

The function of the sensor is to prevent use of the containment spray system loop if the vessel water level is at or below ! core height.
- The setting found on the routine calibration performed January 10, 1973, corresponded to a level 2 inches below the J core height setting, full core height being 144 inches. This sensor has not previously drifted more than 2 inches, remaining .well within the band established to comply with Technical Specification: limits.
