The minimum average weight of ice from the 20 additional baskets and the discrepant basket shall not be less than 1220 pounds/basket at a 958 level of confidence.

The ice condenser shall also be subdivided into 3 groups of baskets, as follows: Group 1-bays 1 through 8, Group 2-bays 9 through 16, and Group 3-bays 17 through 24.The minimum average ice weight of the sample baskets from Radial Rows 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9 in each group shall not be less than 1220 pounds/basket at a 954 level of confidence.

If these additional flow passages are found acceptable, the surveillance program may proceed considering the single deficiency as unique and acceptable.

More than one restricted flow passage per bay is evidence of abnormal degradation of the ice condenser.
