Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions PRESSURE AND The PTLR is the unit specific document that TEMPERATURE LIMITS provides the reactor vessel pressure and REPORT (PTLR) temperature limits including heatup and cooldown rates, and the pressurizer Power Operated Relief Valve (PORV) lift settings for the current reactor vessel fluence period. These pressure and temperature limits shall be determined for each fluence period in accordance with Specification 5.6.6.

QUADRANT POWER TILT QPTR shall be the ratio of the maximum upper RATIO (QPTR) excore detector calibrated output to the average of the upper excore detector calibrated outputs, or the ratio of the maximum lower excore detector calibrated output to the average of the lower excore detector calibrated outputs, whichever is greater.

RATED THERMAL POWER RTP shall be a total reactor core heat transfer (RTP) rate to the reactor coolant of 3586.6 MWt.

REACTOR TRIP The RTS RESPONSE TIME shall be that time interval SYSTEM (RTS) RESPONSE from when the monitored parameter exceeds its RTS TIME trip setpoint at the channel sensor until loss of stationary gripper coil voltage. The response time may be measured by means of any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire response time is measured. In lieu of measurement, response time may be verified for selected components provided that the components and methodology for verification have been previously reviewed and approved by the NRC.

Reporting Requirements 5.6 5.6 Reporting Requirements 5.6.6 Reactor Coolant System (RCS) PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE LIMITS REPORT (PTLR)

a. RCS pressure and temperature limits for heat up, cooldown, low temperature operation, criticality, and hydrostatic testing as well as heatup and cooldown rates, and Power Operated Relief Valve (PORV) lift settings shall be established and documented in the PTLR for the following:

LCO 3.4.3, "RCS Press.ure and Temperature (P/T) Limits," and LCO 3.4.12, "Low Temperature Overpressure Protection (LTOP)

System";

b. The analytical methods used to determine the RCS pressure and temperature limits shall be those previously reviewed and approved by the NRC, specifically those described in the following documents:

1. NRC letter dated January 21, 1998, "Byron Station Units 1 and 2, and Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2, Acceptance for Referencing of Pressure Temperature Limits Report,"

2. NRC letter dated August 8, 2001, "Issuance of Exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 50.60 and Appendix G, for Byron Station, Units 1 and 2 and Braidwood Station, Units 1 and 2,"

3. Westinghouse WCAP-16143, "Reactor Vessel Closure Head/Vessel Flange Requirements Evaluation for Byron/Braidwood Units 1 and 2," and

4. The PTLR will contain the complete identification for each of the TS referenced Topical Reports used to prepare the PTLR (i.e., report number, title, revision, date, and any supplements); and

c. The PTLR shall be provided to the NRC upon issuance for each reactor vessel fluence period and for any revision or supplement thereto.

5.6.7 Post Accident Monitoring Report When a report is required by Condition C or G of LCO 3.3.3, "Post Accident Monitoring (PAM) Instrumentation," a report shall be submitted within the following 14 days. The report shall outline the preplanned alternate method of monitoring, the cause of the inoperability, and the plans and schedule for restoring the instrumentation channels of the Function to OPERABLE status.
