3.0 OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in Technical Specification 6.2.C.

3.1 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (TS 3.1.E) 3.1.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits are:

+6.0 pcm/F at less than 50 percent ofRATED POWER, or

+6.0 pcm/F at 50 percent of RATED POWER and linearly decreasing to 0 pcm/F at RATED POWER 3.2 Control Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.12.A.1, TS 3.12.A.2, and TS 3.12.C.3.b.1.b) 3.2.1 The control rod banks shall be limited in physical insertion as shown in Figure A-I.

3.2.2 The rod insertion limit for the A and B control banks is the fully withdrawn position as shown on Figure A-I.

3.2.3 The rod insertion limit for the A and B shutdown banks is the fully withdrawn position as shown on Figure A-I.

3.3 Shutdown Margin (TS 3.12.A.1.a, TS 3.12.A.2.a, and TS 3.12.G) 3.3.1 Whenever the reactor is suhcritical the shutdown margin (SDM) shall be ~1.77 %Mdk.
