AMENDMENT RE: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE REVISED THERMAL DESIGN

These amendments approve: (1) implementation of the revised thermal design procedure (RTDP), (2) revisions to reactor trip system and engineered safety feature actuation system trip setpoints and allowable values, (3) the addition of a TS Bases control program, (4) relocation of certain TS requirements to the core operating limits report, the licensing requirements manual, or to the TS Bases, and (5) other changes including the deletion of a license condition. Implementation of the RTDP facilitates a 1.4 percent power uprate at each unit, which the licensee has requested in a separate license amendment request, dated January 18, 2001.
