3.11 MOVABLE IN-CORE INSTRUMENTATION APPLICABILITY Applies to the operability of the movable detector instrumentation system.

OBJECTIVE To specify functional requirements on the use of the in-core instrumentation systems, for the calibration of the excore symmetrical offset detection system.

SPECIFICATION 3.11.1 A minimum of 15 total accessible thimbles and at least 2 per quadrant sufficient movable in-core detectors shall be operable during recalibration of the excore symmetrical offset detection system.

3.11.2 Power shall be limited to 90% of rated power if recalibration requirements for the excore symmetrical offset detection system identified in Table 4.1-1 are not met.

BASIS The Movable In-Core Instrumentation Systes(1 ) provides a method for acquiring core data via drives, detectors, and thimbles. Each detector can be routed to twenty or more thimbles. Consequently, the full system has a great deal more capability than would be needed for the calibration of the excore detectors.

To calibrate the excore detector system, it is only necessary that the Movable In-Core System be used to determine the gross power distribution in the core as indicated by the power balance between the top and bottom halves of the core. The thimbles shall be selected such that when'reflected into a single quadrant, no assembly is more than a "king's move" away from a measurement.

In other words, every assembly is either a measured assembly or touched by a 3.11-1 Amendment No. 87, 707, 116

4.11 REACTOR CORE APPLICABILITY Applies to surveillance of the reactor core.

OBJECTIVE To ensure the integrity of the fuel cladding.

SPECIFICATION 4.11.1 APDNS OPERATION 4.11.1.1 Prior to establishing normal operation vith APDMS, at least six maps will be taken to determine applicable values of I and a for surveillance thimbles.

4.11.1.2 Plant operation up to raced power shall be permitted for the purposes of obtaining the initial maps of Specification 4.11.1.1, provided the APDMS is operational and hot channel factors are shown to be below the limiting values set forth in Specification 3.10.2. Suitably conservative values of I and a shall be derived from maps previously run during the current fuel cycle for use in the APDMS system during this initial period.

4.11.1.3 Subsequent updates of I and ashall employ the last six maps in accordance with Specification 4.11.1.1.

4.11.1.4 Each power distribution map will be based on flux traverses obtained from 36 or more of the incore thimbles.

4.11.2 Except during physics tests and excore calibrations, axial surveillance of F(Z)S(Z) shall consist of traverses 4ith the movable incore detectors in appropriate pairs of detector paths, taken every eight hours, or a frequency of approximately 0, 10, 4.11-1 Amendment No. $, 116
