7. 3.2.1 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor ( F a The Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor shall be within the following limits:

CFQ = 2.50 K(Z) is a constant value = 1.0 at all elevations.

The HFP W(Z) values are provided in Table 2 and Table 4.

The W(Z) values in Table 2 are only applicable to Figure 5.

The W(Z) values in Table 4 are only applicable to Figure 6.

The data in Tables 2 and 4 should be used independently; cross interpolation or extrapolation between W(Z) sets is prohibited.

The F ~ Q ( ZPenalty

) Factors associated with Figure 5 and Table 2 are provided in Table 3.

The F ~ Q ( ZPenalty

) Factors associated with Figure 6 and Table 4 are provided in Table 5.

The Axial Flux Difference (AFD) Band in Figure 6 is more restrictive than the AFD Band in Figure 5. Prior to switching from Figure 6 to Figure 5, F ~ Q ( Zmust) be confirmed to meet Technical Specification requirements by one of the follow methods:

I. Confirm FWQ(Z)meets the Technical Specification Limit with the Table 2 W(Z) values for the most recent surveillance performed.

2. Perform a new surveillance and confirm F ~ ~ ( meets z ) the Technical Specification Limit with the Table 2 W(Z) values.

The HFP W(Z) values are generated assuming that they will be used for full power surveillance. When a part power surveillance is performed, the W(Z) values should be multiplied by the factor UP, when P > 0.5. When P is 5 0.5, the W(Z) values should be multiplied by the factor 1/(0.5), or 2.0. This is consistent with the adjustment in the Fa(Z) limit at part power conditions.

Reference 10 provides the basis for multiple sets of W(Z) curves.
