Byron and Braidwood have combined the 30% and 50% flux maps.  Actually, we have several conditional statepoints, but we typically only perform a flux map at ~41% and ~100%.  If we had BEACON inoperable and performed the first flux map < 40%, we would perform another flux map < 80% (rare).
 
We don't stabilize at all because BEACON handles the Xenon build-in and provides the "reference" values for the conditions that exist.

RE folks:

 

I would greatly appreciate it if you could answer the following three questions for your Westinghouse PWRs:

 

(1) Do you perform a flux map at ~30% RTP and ~50% RTP? 

 

(2) How long do you stabilize before collecting MIDS data at these plateaus? 

 

(3) What is the basis for the stabilization times?

 

Best Regards,
