Cook Nuclear Plant (CNP) Unit 2, proposed to amend Facility Operating License DPR-74, including Appendix A, Technical Specifications, to allow a 1.66-percent increase in the licensed core power. By reference 2, I&M provided the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) a copy of Calculation 1-2 01-03 CALC 2, Revision 1, Change Sheet (CS)-2, "Power Calorimetric Accuracy Using the Caldon Check Plus Feedwater Flow Measurement System and a Modified PPC CALM Program," dated December 5, 2002 (Proprietary).

Attachment 2 provides the application and affidavit for withholding Attachment 1 from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.790.
The thermal power uncertainty measurement calculation provided in Attachment 1 to this letter establishes the basis for the core thermal power measurement uncertainty for both Unit 1 and Unit 2. This calculation supercedes, in its entirety, previous versions of the calculation that were submitted in support of the CNP Unit 1 MUR Power Uprate license amendment.
However, these changes have no impact on the NRC-approved Unit 1 MUR power uprate license amendment. There are no new commitments made in this submittal.
Should you have any questions, please contact Mr. Brian A. McIntyre, Manager of Regulatory Affairs, at (269) 697-5806.

Attachment 2, Revision 1, Change Sheet 4 "Cook Nuclear Plant Calculation No. 1-2-01-03 CALC Flow Power Calorimetric Accuracy Using the Caldon Check Plus Feedwater Measurement System and a Modified PPC CALM Program."
This information enables I&M to:
(a) Justify a proposed license amendment with equipment and system performance, evaluation, and analysis information.
Attachment 2 to AEP:NRC:3902 Page 3 (b) Enhance cost-effective plant operation by justifying future operation at an uprated power level.
- 5. Public disclosure of this information is likely to cause harm to I&M because it would allow other companies in the nuclear industry to benefit from the results of a significant analysis program without requiring commensurate expense, or allowing I&M to recoup a portion of its expenditures, or benefit from the sale of the information as described below.
CNP, but rather is an The activity that is the subject of the calculation is not specific to activity that potentially affects the nuclear plants of other utilities.
The calculation and development of the calculation methodology was funded solely by I&M.
The cost to I&M of the calculation and development of the calculation methodology was substantial.
The methodology can easily be adapted to other nuclear plants evaluating Measurement Uncertainty Recapture power uprates.
The subject information could only be duplicated by other companies or groups of companies at a similar expense to that incurred by I&M.
I&M may elect to recover a portion of the costs of this methodology development by making the information available to other utilities on a cost-sharing basis. Public disclosure of the information at this time would prevent implementation of this strategy.
the I, Joseph E. Pollock, being duly sworn, state that I am the person who subscribed my name to foregoing statement, and that the matters and facts set forth in the statement are true to the best of my knowledge, information and belief.
