(1) During the power uprate power ascension test program and prior to exceeding 30 days of plant operation above a nominal 3293 megawatts thermal power level (100-percent OLTP) or within 30 days of satisfactory completion of steam dryer monitoring and testing that is necessary for achieving 105-percent OLTP (whichever is longer), with plant conditions stabilized at 105-percent OLTP, TVA shall trip a condensate booster pump, a condensate pump, and a main feedwater pump on an individual basis (i.e.,

one at a time). Following each pump trip, TVA shall confirm that plant response to the transient is as expected in accordance with previously established acceptance criteria. Evaluation of the test results for each test shall be completed and all discrepancies resolved in accordance with corrective action program requirements and the provisions of the power ascension test program.

(2) Deleted.

H. The licensee must complete the thirteen (13) Unit 1 restart commitments that are discussed in Appendix F of the license renewal application, dated December 31, 2003, as supplemented by letters dated January 31, 2005, March 2, and April 21, 2006.
