PVNGS UNIT 2 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT Revision 17 3.2.5 - Axial Shape Index (ASI)
The core average AXIAL SHAPE INDEX (ASI) shall be maintained within the following limits:
-0.18 < ASI*< 0.17 for power > 50%
-0.28 < ASI < 0.17 for power >20% and < 50%
-0.10 < ASI < 0.10 for power >20%
3.3.12 - Boron Dilution Alarm System (BDAS)
With one or both start-up channel high neutron flux alarms inoperable, the RCS boron concentration shall be determined at the applicable monitoring frequency specified in Tables 3.3.12-1 through 3.3.12-5.
3.9.1 - Boron Concentration The boron concentration of all filled portions of the Reactor Coolant System and the refueling canal shall be maintained at a uniform concentration > 3000 ppm.
