Source: NRC Note: The NRC staff approved an MUR power uprate for Fort Calhoun on 16 January 2004, which authorised an increase in the licensed thermal power limit to 1524MWt. The Omaha Public Power District was subsequently informed by Westinghouse that the potential instrument inaccuracies in the Advanced Measurement and Analysis Group (AMAG) ultrasonic flowmeter would not allow implementation of the MUR power uprate at Fort Calhoun. As a result, on 7 May 2004, prior to implementation of the MUR power uprate, the Omaha Public Power District submitted an exigent licence amendment request to return Fort Calhouns licensed thermal power limit to 1500MWt, the pre-MUR level. On 14 May 2004, the NRC staff approved this licence amendment.
