We intend to apply for license amendmaents to increase reactor thermal power for our pl~ant~s in accordance with the Caldon Topical Report, if it is approved by the NRC. The LEFN Thermal Power Uprate concept is an important option for utilities seeking ways to improve safety and financial performance. Since installation of the LEFM provides a significant improvement in accuracy and an increase in reliability of flow and temperature measurements, a number of utilities are also interested in NRC's approval of Caldon's Topical Report.
