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 2.2 2.3 2.4 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (TS 3.1.1, 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, 3.1.8)

The SDM limit for MODE 1, MODE 2, MODE 3 and MODE 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.

Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) (TS 3.1.3)

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

2.2.1 The MTC shall be less negative than -3.9x 104 Ak/k/0 F for all rods withdrawn, end of cycle life (EOL), RATED THERMAL POWER condition.

2.2.2 The MTC 300 ppm surveillance limit is -3.0x104 Ak/k/°F (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition).

2.2.3 The MTC 60 ppm surveillance limit is - 3.72 xl0-4 Ak/k/°F (all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER condition).

Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.5) 2.3.1 Each shutdown bank shall be withdrawn to at least 225 steps.

Control Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.6) 2.4.1 The control banks shall be limited in physical insertion as shown in Figure 1.

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.

2.5.2 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 16 burnups through the end of full power reactivity plus a power coast down of up to 1000 MWD/iMTU.

For W(Z) data at a desired burnup not listed in the table, but less than the maximum listed burnup, values at 3 or more burnup steps should be used to interpolate the W(Z) data to the desired burnup with a polynomial type fit that uses the W(Z) data for the nearest three burnup steps.

For W(Z) data at a desired burnup outside of the listed burnup steps, a linear extrapolation of the W(Z) data for the nearest two burnup steps can be used. If data are listed for only 2 burnup steps, a linear fit can be used for both interpolation and extrapolation.

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 Q (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.

2.5.3 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.

F Q (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 2.5.1 and W(Z) is specified in 2.5.2.

NOTE: The DNBR RCS TAVG limit is based on the slightly lower and bounding value associated with Unit I in order to have the same surveillance limits for both Unit 1 and Unit 2.
