Surry is trying to answer a question this morning regarding power level indications and uncertainties.

We are stating that within a certain confidence level, that the calorimetric calculation will produce a reactor power output (at RTP) from 98.8 to 101.2% with the rightly calibrated process instrumentation in the calorimetric program (App K). Half the time the operating power will be above 100%, half the time it will be below 100%. The opposing opinion is that if we have a 1.2% RTP uncertainty that we operate at or below 98.8% so as to not exceed RTP. The uncertainties in question relate to the plant computer-none of the redundant indications indicate higher than RTP (most notably delta Ts). It is also noted that we were told that no other site operates the way we are with regard to uncertainties.

Can you please tell us how your site operates with regard to uncertainties and your RTP?

Thank you in advance.
