3.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION 3.11 REACTOR FUEL ASSEMBLIES Applicability:
The Limiting Conditions for Operation associated with the fuel rods apply to those parameters which monitor the fuel rod operating conditions.
Objective:
The objective of the Limiting Conditions for Operation is to assure the performance of the fuel rods.
Specifications:
A. Averaae Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR)
During two recirculation loop power operation, the APLHGR for each type of fuel as a function of average planar exposure shall not exceed the applicable limiting values specified in the Core Operating Limits Report.
When hand calculations are required, the APLHGR for each type of fuel as a function of average planar exposure shall not exceed the limiting value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) provided in the Core Operating Limits Report.
During one recirculation loop power operation, the APLHGR limiting condition for operation for each type of fuel shall not exceed the most limiting of:
- a. The above values multiplied by 0.80 for GEl1 and GE12 fuel and 0.90 for GE14 fuel, or
- b.
The above values multiplied by the appropriate flow and power dependent correction factors provided in the Core Operating Limits Report.

4.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.11 REACTOR FUEL ASSEMBLIES Applicability:
The Surveillance Requirements apply to the parameters which monitor the fuel rod operating conditions.
Objective:
The objective of the Surveillance Requirements is to specify the type and frequency of surveillance to be applied to the fuel rods.
Specifications:
A. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR)
The APLHGR for each type of fuel as a function of average planar exposure shall be determined daily during reactor operation at >_ 25% rated thermal power.
