	Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, under Contract DE-AC02-76SF00515. Tolerance and stability are important issues for designing and operating accelerator and FEL. Jitter can come from various sources. We identify and study well known sources as well as some particular ones, important for a seeded tapered high power FEL. Seed laser phase error, electron bunch current profile, self-seeding residual density bunching and energy modulation after the chicane, undulator wakefield, and phase errors in the undulator breaks are just a few important examples. Schemes to improve the stability of a seeded FEL are also discussed.
