Changes calcu>>'ations to the methodology requested by the NRC shov that the original cal-culations are somewhat non-conservatfve. The total amount of change is about 5'L; however, CE has done analysis, taking into account other margias end conservatisms available and the net effect is to re-

~

duce our allowable Peak Linear Heat Generation Rate by 1/2Z (Tech.

Spec. Figurc 3,2.1) This will also reduce maxiaum allowable power when operating with only Excore flux detectors ('T.S. 4.2.1.3) by 1/2Z (a factor of 1.005 less than previously allowed.)

CORRECTIVE A ION - Vc are making t'e necessary changes to set-points and procedures and have reviewed our records snd verified we have not exceeded the nev limit (14.726 Kw/ft vs. original 14.8 Kv/ft) .
