2. The combination of radial and axial peak that causes central fuel melting at the hot spot. The limit is 20.15 kw/ft for Unit 3.

Power peaking is not a directly observable quantity, and, therefore, limits have been established on the bases of the reactor power imbalance produced by the power peaking.

The specified flow rates for Curves 1, 2 and 3 of Figure 2.1-2C correspond to the expected minimum flow rates with four pumps, three pumps and one pump in each loop, respectively.

The maximum thermal power for three-pump operation is 87.2 percent due to a power level trip produced by the flux-flow ratio 74.7 percent flow x 1.08 =

80.7 percent power plus the maximum calibration and instrument error (Reference 4). The maximum thermal power for other coolant pump conditions are produced in a similar manner.

For each curve of Figure 2.1-3C a pressure-temperature point above and to the left of the curve would result in a DNBR greater than 1.30 or a local quality at the point of minimum DNBR less than 22 percent for that particular reactor coolant pump situation. The curve of Figure 2.1-1C is the most restrictive of all possible reactor coolant pump-maximum thermal power combinations shown in Figure 2.1-3C.

Bases A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and

3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.

During power operation and startup the SHUTDOWN MARGIN is known to be within limits if all control rods are OPERABLE and withdrawn to or beyond the insertion limits specified in Specification 3.5.2.

During refueling conditions equivalent protection is provided in the requirements of Specification 3.8.4.

3.1-23

Bases The high pressure injection system and chemical addition system provide con trol of the reactor coolant system boron concentration.(1) This is normally accomplished by using any of the three high pressure injection pumps in series with a boric acid pump associated with either the boric acid mix tank or the concentrated boric acid storage tank. An alternate method of boration will be the use of the high pressure injection pumps taking suction directly from the borated water storage tank.(2)

The quantity of boric acid in storage in the concentrated boric acid storage tank or the borated water storage tank is sufficient to borate the reactor coolant system to a 1% Ak/k subcritical margin at cold conditions (70 0 F) with the maximum worth stuck rod and no credit for xenon at the worst time in core life. The current cycles for each unit, Oconee 1 Cycle 6, Oconee 2 Cycle 5, and Oconee 3 Cycle 6 were analyzed with the most limiting case selected as the basis for all three units. Since only the present cycles were analyzed, the specifications will be reevaluated with each reload. A minimum of 995 ft. 3 of 8,700 ppm boric acid in the concentrated boric acid storage tank, or a minimum of 350,000 gallons of 1800 ppm boric acid in the borated water storage tank (3) will satisfy the requirements. The volume requirements include a 10%

margin and, in addition, allow for a deviation of 10 EFPD in the cycle length.

The specification assures that two supplies are available whenever the reactor is critical so that a single failure will not prevent boration to a cold con dition. The required amount of boric acid can be added in several ways. Using only one 10 gpm boric acid pump taking suction from.the concentrated boric acid storage tank would require approximately 12.25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> .to inject the required boron. An alternate method of addition is to inject boric acid from the borated water storage tank using the makeup pumps. The required boric acid can be injected in less than six hours using only one of the makeup pumps.

The concentration of boron in the concentrated boric acid storage tank may be higher than the concentration which would crystallize at ambient conditions.

For this reason, and to assure a flow of boric acid is available when needed, these tanks and their associated piping will be kept at least 10 0 F above the crystallization temperature for the concentration present. The boric acid concentration of 8,700 ppm in the concentrated boric acid storage tank cor responds to a crystallization temperature of 77 0F and therefore a temperature requirement of 87 0F. Once in the high pressure injection system, the concen trate is sufficiently well mixed and diluted so that normal system temperatures assure boric acid solubility.
