3.1.5 - Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment With one or more full-length or part-length CEAs misaligned from any other CEAs in its group by more than 6.6 inches, the minimum required MODES 1 and 2 core power reduction is specified in Figure 3.1.5-1.

3.1.7 - Regulating CEA Insertion Limits With COLSS IN SERVICE, regulating CEA groups shall be limited to the withdrawal sequence and to the insertion limits1 shown in Figure 3.1.7-12; with COLSS OUT OF SERVICE, regulation CEA groups shall be limited to the withdrawal sequence and to the insertion limits1 shown in Figure 3.1.7-2.2 A reactor power cutback will cause either (Case 1) Regulating Group 5 or Regulating Group 4 and 5 to be dropped with no sequential insertion of additional Regulating Groups (Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4) or (Case 2) Regulating Group 5 or Regulating Group 4 and 5 to be dropped with all or part of the remaining Regulating Groups (Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4) being sequentially inserted. In either case, the Transient Insertion Limit and withdrawal sequence specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT can be exceeded for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months .

COLSS OUT OF SERVICE (CPC)

-0.10 < ASI < 0.10 3.3.12 - Boron Dilution Alarm System (BDAS)

With one or both start-up channel high neutron flux alarms inoperable, the RCS boron concentration shall be determined at the applicable monitoring frequency specified in Tables 3.3.12-1 through 3.3.12-5.

3.9.1 - Boron Concentration The boron concentration of all filled portions ofthe Reactor Coolant System and the refueling canal shall be maintained at a uniform concentration 2 3000 ppm.
