2. OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the TS listed in Section 1 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in TS 5.6.5.

2.1 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (TS 3.1.1)

2.1.2 In Modes 3 or 4 the shutdown margin with Safety Injection blocked shall be greater than or equal to 1.6% Ak/k calculated at a temperature of 200'F.

The SDM limit for MODE 5 is:

2.1.3 The shutdown margin shall be greater than or equal to 1.0% Ak/k. However, an administrative value of 1.6 % Ak/k will be used to address concerns of NSAL-02-014.

2.2 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (TS 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6)

The SDM for MODE I and MODE 2 with k,ff> 1.0 is:

2.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) (TS 3.1.3)

The MTC limit for MODES 1, 2, and 3 is:

2.3.1 The MTC shall be less negative than - 3 .9 xl04 Ak/k/°F for all rods withdrawn, end of cycle life (EOL), RATED THERMAL POWER condition.

2.3.2 The MTC 300 ppm surveillance limit is - 3 .OX104 AWk/F (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition).

2.3.3 The MTC 60 ppm surveillance limit is -3.72x1004 Ak/k/°F (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition).

2.4 Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.5) 2.4.1 Each shutdown bank shall be withdrawn to at least 225 steps.

2.5 Control Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.6) 2.5.1 The control banks shall be limited in physical insertion as shown in Figure 1.

2.6 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - FQ(Z) (TS 3.2.1) 2.6.1 FQ(Z)<* *K(Z) for P > 0.5 P

F RTP FQ(Z)<-Q *K(Z) forP< 0.5 where: P - THERMAL POWER RATED THERMAL POWER F RTP =2.58 Q

K(Z)- =1.0 NOTE: The W(Z) data is appropriate for use only if the predicted axial offset is within

+/-3% of the measured value.

2.6.2 The W(Z) data for Relaxed Axial Offset Control (RAOC) operation, provided in Tables 2A and 2B are sufficient to determine the RAOC W(Z) versus core height for Cycle 15 burnups through the end of full power reactivity plus a power coast down of up to 1000 MWD/MTU.

Table 1 shows FQ margin decreases that are greater than 2% per 31 Effective Full Power Days (EFPD). These values shall be used to increase F W (Z) per SR 3.2.1.2. A 2% penalty factor shall be used at all cycle burnups that are outside the range of Table 1.

PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY NUMBER COLR 1-15 DIABLO CANYON POWER PLANT REVISION 0 PAGE 3 OF 12 TITLE: COLR for Diablo Canyon Unit 1 Cycle 15 UNIT 1 2.6.3 FQ(Z) shall be evaluated to determine if it is within its limits by verifying that F C (Z) and F W(Z) satisfy the following:

a. Using the moveable incore detectors to obtain a power distribution map in MODE 1.
b. Increasing the measured FQ(Z) component of the power distribution map by 3% to account for manufacturing tolerances and further increasing the value by 5% to account for measurement uncertainties.
c. Satisfying the following relationship:

FC (Z) < *K(Z) for P > 0.5 P

R*FTP' F (Z)<

Q 0.5 (Z for P__ 0.5 FWQ (Z)5 <--*-*K(Z)

P for P:5 0.5 Q 0.5 ,K(Z) forP_<.5 where:

F ( (Z) is the measured FQ(Z) increased by the allowances for manufacturing tolerances and measurement uncertainty.

F RTT is the FQ limit Q

K(Z) is the normalized FQ(Z) as a function of core height P is the relative THERMAL POWER, and F Q (Z) is the total peaking factor, F Q (Z), multiplied by W(Z) which gives the maximum FQ(Z) calculated to occur in normal operation.

W(z) is the cycle dependefit function that accounts for power distribution transients encountered during normal operation.

F RTP and K(Z) are specified in 2.6.1 and W(Z) is specified in 2.6.2.

The Technical Specifications affected by this report are listed below:

3.1.1 - Shutdown Margin (MODE 2 with kff < 1.0, MODES 3, 4, and 5) 3.1.3 - Moderator Temperature Coefficient 3.1.4 - Rod Group Alignment Limits 3.1.5 - Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits 3.1.6 - Control Bank Insertion Limits 3.2.1 - Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - FQ(Z) 3.2.2 - Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor - F N AH 3.2.3 - Axial Flux Difference - (AFD) 3.9.1 - Boron Concentration

2. OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the TS listed in Section 1 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in TS 5.6.5.

2.1 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (TS 3.1.1)

The SDM limit for MODE 2 with k1%< 1.0, MODES 3 and 4 is:

2.1.1 The shutdown margin with Safety Injection enabled shall be greater than or equal to 1.6% Ak/k.

2.1.2 In Modes 3 or 4 the shutdown margin with Safety Injection blocked shall be greater than or equal to 1.6% Ak/k calculated at a temperature of 200'F.

The SDM limit for MODE 5 is:

2.1.3 The shutdown margin shall be greater than or equal to 1.0% Ak/k. However, an administrative value of 1.6 % Ak/k will be used to address concerns of NSAL-02-014.

2.2 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (TS 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6)

The SDM for MODE 1 and MODE 2 with kff_> 1.0 is:

2.2.1 The shutdown margin shall be greater than or equal to 1.6% Ak/k.

The MTC limit for MODES 1, 2, and 3 is:

2.3.1 The MTC shall be less negative than - 3 .9 x10-4 Ak/k/ 0 F for all rods withdrawn, end of cycle life (EOL), RATED THERMAL POWER condition.

2.3.2 The MTC 300 ppm surveillance limit is -3.0x104 Ak/k/0 F (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition).

2.3.3 The MTC 60 ppm surveillance limit is -3.72x104 Ak/k/°F (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition).

2.4 Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.5) 2.4.1 Each shutdown bank shall be withdrawn to at least 225 steps.

2.5 Control Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.6) 2.5.1 The control banks shall be limited in physical insertion as shown in Figure 1.

2.6 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - FQ(Z) (TS 3.2.1)

F T 2.6.1 FQ (Z)< Q *K(Z) for P > 0.5 P

FRTP FQ (Z)<Q- *K(Z) for P<* 0.5

0.5 where

P = THERMAL POWER RATED THERMAL POWER F RTP = 2.58 Q

K(Z) = 1.0 NOTE: The W(Z) data is appropriate for use only if the predicted axial offset is within

+/-3% of the measured value.

2.6.2 The W(Z) data for Relaxed Axial Offset Control (RAOC) operation, provided in Tables 2A and 2B are sufficient to determine the RAOC W(Z) versus core height for Cycle 15 bumups through the end of full power reactivity plus a power coast down of up to 1000 MWD/MTU.

Table 1 shows FQ margin decreases that are greater than 2% per 31 Effective Full Power Days (EFPD). These values shall be used to increase F W(Z) per SR 3.2.1.2. A 2% penalty factor shall be used at all cycle burnups that are outside the range of Table 1.

a. Using the moveable incore detectors to obtain a power distribution map in MODE 1.
b. Increasing the measured FQ(Z) component of the power distribution map by 3% to account for manufacturing tolerances and further increasing the value by 5% to account for measurement uncertainties.
c. Satisfying the following relationship:

F C (Z) is the measured FQ(Z) increased by the allowances for manufacturing tolerances and measurement uncertainty.

F RTP is the FQ limit Q F K(Z) is the normalized FQ(Z) as a function of core height P is the relative THERMAL POWER, and F W(Z) is the total peaking factor, F C (Z), multiplied by W(Z) which gives the maximum FQ(Z) calculated to occur in normal operation.

W(z)is the cycle dependent function that accounts for power distribution transients encountered during normal operation.

F RTP and K(Z) are specified in 2.6.1 and W(Z) is specified in 2.6.2.
