TS 2.1-2
- 4.
The reactor thermal power level shall not exceed 118% of rated power.
B.
In the event the Safety Limit is violated, the facility shall be placed in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />. The safety limit is exceeded if the combination of Reactor Coolant System average temperature and thermal power level is at any time above the appropriate pressure line in TS Figures 2.1-1, 2.1-2 or 2.1-3; or the core thermal power exceeds 118% of the rated power.
Basis To maintain the integrity of the fuel cladding and prevent fission product release, it is necessary to prevent overheating of the cladding under all operating conditions. This is accomplished by operating within the nucleate boiling regime of heat transfer, wherein the heat transfer coefficient is very large and the clad surface temperature is only a few degrees Fahrenheit above the reactor coolant saturation temperature. The upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime is termed Departure From Nucleate Boiling (DNB) and at this point there is a sharp reduction of the heat transfer coefficient, which would result in high clad temperatures and the possibility of clad failure. DNB is not, however, an observable parameter during reactor operation. Therefore, DNB has been correlated to thermal power, reactor coolant temperature and reactor coolant pressure which are observable parameters. This correlation has been developed to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially Amendment Nos. 244/243
TS 2.2-1 2.2 SAFETY LIMIT, REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE Applicability Applies to the maximum limit on Reactor Coolant System pressure.
Obiective To maintain the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System.
Specification A.
The Reactor Coolant System pressure shall not exceed 2735 psig with fuel assemblies installed in the reactor vessel.
B.
In the event the Safety Limit is violated, the facility shall be placed in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.
Basis The Reactor Coolant System(') serves as a barrier which prevents radionuclides contained in the reactor coolant from reaching the environment. In the event of a fuel cladding failure the Reactor Coolant System is the primary barrier against the release of fission products. The maximum transient pressure allowable in the Reactor Coolant System pressure vessel under the ASME Code,Section III is 110% of design pressure. The maximum transient pressure allowable in the Reactor Coolant System piping, valves and fittings under USAS Section B31.1 is 120% of design pressure. Thus, the safety limit of 2735 psig (110% of design pressure) has been established.(2 )

In addition, procedures will provide for documentation of authorized deviations from those guidelines and that the documentation is available for NRC review.
6.1.3 Unit Staff Qualifications
- 1. Each member of the unit staff shall meet or exceed the minimum qualifications of ANSI 3.1 (12/79 Draft) for comparable positions.
Exceptions to this requirement are specified in the QA Program.
Incumbents in the positions of Shift Manager, Unit Supervisor (SRO),
Control Room Operator (RO), and the individual providing advisory technical support to the unit operations shift crew, shall meet or exceed the requirements of 10 CFR 55.59(c) and 55.31(a)(4).
- 2. For the purpose of 10 CFR 55.4, a licensed Senior Reactor Operator and a licensed Reactor Operator are those individuals who, in addition to meeting the requirements of TS 6.1.3.1 perform the functions described in 10 CFR 50.54(m).
