Dear I& . Keppler:

15)Mr3CEL10143CLP.AR GP)EHKrIlfJ PLAW Boeket No. 50-263 License No. DPR-22 On Septctaber 9,1976, it was fourut that tonxs water voltme was several .)nm-dred cubic. feet below the 68,000 cubic foot minirams required by TecJmical Specification 3,7.A.1 (e) . 'Ibnis tet.cr }cyc1 had been reduced slightly on September 7,.1976, in response to recently expnssed NRC desire that level he reintaitied closer to the low ]imit-to adnimize. structural londs during a IDCA. The correlation between volume aml indicated Icyc1 which war. used to estab3ish the desired IcVel Igid not been corrected to account for water displaced imm the ' vent dowmomers due.to the dr>vell - torus pressure diff-crential,.

tipon discovery, the wtter voltmc was increased to slightly above the' limit, and a new volume vs level cortclation was issutxl.

Yours ven truly, 9} n 0 f I k. b ( c a.k.
