2.7 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - FQ(XY,Z) (TS 312.1) 2.7.1 FQ(X,Y,Z) steady-state limits are defined by the following relationships:

Note: The measured FQ(X,Y,Z) shall be increased by 3% to account for manufacturing tolerances and 5% to account for measurement uncertainty when comparing against the LCO limits. The manufacturing tolerance and measurement uncertainty are implicitly included in the FQ surveillance limits as defined in COLR Sections 2.7.5 and 2.7.6.

2.7.2 -Q = 2.60 x K(BU)

FRrr' 2.7.3 K(Z) is the normalized FQ(X,Y,Z) as a function of core height.. The K(Z) function for Westinghouse RFA fuel is provided in Figure 4.

2.7.4 K(BU) is the normalized FQ(X,Y,Z) as a function of burnup. K(BU) for Westinghouse RFA fuel is 1.0 for all burnups.

MCEI-0400-224 Page 20 of 32 Revision 0 McGuire 2 Cycle 20 Core Operating Limits Report 2.8 Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor - FAH(X,Y) (TS 3.2.2)

The FAIl steady-state limits referred to in Technical Specification 3.2.2 is defined by the following relationship.

2.8.1 FH.(X,Y)LCO= MARP (XY) RRH where:

FAiH (X, Y) Lco is defined as the steady-state, maximum allowed radial peak.

FA (X, y)LCO includes allowances for calculation/measurement uncertainty.

MARP(X,Y) = Cycle-specific operating limit Maximum Allowable Radial Peaks. MARP(X,Y) radial peaking limits are provided in Table 3.

Thermal Power Rated Thermal Power RRH = Thermal Power reduction required to compensate for each 1% that the measured radial peak, F,4 (X,Y), exceeds its limit. RRH also is used to scale the MARP limits as a function of power per the [FALH (X, y)]LCO equation. (RRH = 3.34 (0.0 < P < 1.0))

The following parameters are required for core monitoring per the Surveillance requirements of Technical Specification 3.2.2.

2.8.2 F S. FAH (X, Y x MAH(X,Y)'

F(X,Y)SRv 2UMR x TILT where:

L URV F,'. (X,Y) = Cycle dependent maximum allowable design peaking factor that ensures the F,,(X,Y) limit will be preserved L SURV for operation within the LCO limits. F- (X,Y) includes allowances for calculation/measurement uncertainty..

MCEI-0400-224 Page 21 of 32 Revision 0 McGuire 2 Cycle 20 Core Operating Limits Report F D (X,Y) = Design radial power distribution for FAH Fan (X,Y)is provided in Appendix Table A-3 for normal operation, and in Appendix Table A-6 forpower escalation testing during initial startup operation.

MAH(X,Y) = The margin remaining in core location X,Y relative to the Operational DNB limits in the transient power distribution.

MAH(X,Y) is provided in Appendix Table A-3 for normal operation, and in Appendix Table A-6 for power escalation testing during initial startup operation.

UMR = Uncertainty value for measured radial peaks. UMR is set to 1.0 since a factor of 1.04 is implicitly included in the variable MAH(X,Y).

TILT = Peaking penalty that accounts for the peaking increase for an allowable quadrant power tilt ratio of 1.02 (TILT = 1.035).

2.8.3 RRH = 3.34 where:

RRH = Thermal power reduction required to compensate for each 1% that the measured radial peak, F, (X,Y) exceeds its limit. (0 < P < 1.0) 2.8.4 TRH = 0.04 where:

TRH = Reduction in the OTAT K 1 setpoint required to compensate for each 1%

that the measured radial peak, F,, (X,Y) exceeds its limit.

2.8.5 FAH (X,Y) penalty factors for Technical Specification Surveillance 3.2.2.2 are provided in Table 2.

The fl (Al). "negative" breakpoints and the fl (Al) "negative" slope are less restrictive than the OPAT f2 (Al) negative breakpoint and slope. Therefore, during a transient which challenges thenegative imbalance limits, the OPAT f2 (AI) limits will result in a reactor trip before the OTAT fl(AI) limits are reached. This makes implementation of the OTAT fl(Al) negative breakpoint and slope unnecessary.
