SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS PHYSICS TESTS LIMITING CREATIQN FOR OPERATION_

3.10.2 The limitations of Specifications 3.1.1.3, 3.1.3.1, 3.1.3.2, 3.1.3.5, 3.1.3.6, 3.1.3.7, and 3.1.3.9 may be suspended during the performance of PHYSICS TESTS provided:

a.

The THERMAL POWER does not exceed 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER, and

b. The reactor trip setpoints on the OPERABLE High Flux Channels are set at < 25% of RATED THERMAL POWER.

c. The nuclear instrumentation Source Range and Intermediate Range high startup rate control rod withdrawal inhibit are OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY: MODE 2.

ACTION:

With the THERMAL POWER > 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER, immediately open the control rod drive trip breakers.

SURVEILLANCE REQOUTEMENTS 4.10.2.1 The THERMAL POWER shall be determined to be < 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER at least once per hour during PHYSICS TESTS.

4.10.2.2 Each Source and Intermediate Range and High Flux Channel shall be subjected to a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to initiating PHYSICS TESTS.
