| GENERATOR AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REQUIRE ONE OF THE TWO FLOW CHANNELS  |
| TO BE AVAILABLE.  SINCE  CHANNELS 3 AND 4 ON THE "A" STEAM GENERATOR ARE NOT |
| AVAILABLE, THE PLANT ENTERED TS LCO 3.0.3 WHICH GIVES THEM 7 HRS. TO BE IN   |
| HOT STANDBY, 6 HOURS TO HOT SHUTDOWN AND THE FOLLOWING 24 HOURS TO COLD      |
| SHUTDOWN.  THE FEED PUMP SPEED CONTROL AND THE "A" STEAM GENERATOR FLOW      |
| CONTROL VALVE WERE PLACED IN MANUAL AND LEVELS WERE STABILIZED.  THEY CAN    |
| EXIT THE LCO ACTION STATEMENT IF THEY  TAKE CHANNEL 3 OUT OF TEST ON "A"     |
| STEAM GENERATOR AND RETURN IT TO SERVICE.                                    |
