SAFETY LIMITS BASES The curves are based on a nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor, FN defined in the COLR and a reference cosine with a peak of 1.55 for axial power shape. An allowance is included for an increase in F~ at redu'ced power based on the expression:

F CFDH [1 + PFDH (1-P)]

where: CFDH is the P>H limit at RTP specified in the COLR PFDH is the power factor multiplier for F>H provided in the COLR P is the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER These limiting heat flux conditions are higher than those calculated for the range of all control rods fully withdrawn to the maximum allowable control rod insertion, assuming the axial power imbalance is within the limits of the fl (AI) function of the Overtemperature trip. When the axial power imbalance is not within the tolerance, the axial power imbalance effect on the Overtemperature AT trips will reduce the setpoints to provide protection consistent with core safety limits. l 2.1.2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM PRESSURE The restriction of this Safety Limit protects the integrity of the Reactor Coolant System from overpressurization and thereby prevents the release of radionuclides contained in the reactor coolant from reaching the containment atmosphere.

The reactor pressure vessel and pressurizer are designed to Section III of the ASME Code for Nuclear Power Plant, which permits a maximum transient pressure of 110% (2735 psig) of design pressure. The Reactor Coolant System piping, valves and fittings, are designed to ANSI B 31.1 1967 Edition, which permits a maximum transient pressure of 120% (2985 psig) of component design pressure. The Safety Limit of 2735 psig is therefore consistent with the design criteria and associated code requirements.

The entire Reactor Coolant System is hydrotested at 3107 psig, 125% of design pressure, to demonstrate integrity prior to initial operation.

3 4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES The specifications of this section provide assurance of fuel integrity during Condition I (Normal Operation) and II (Incidents of Moderate Frequency) events by: (a) maintaining the minimum DNBR in the core greater than or equal to the safety limit DNBR during normal operation and in short term transients, and (b) limiting the fission gas release, fuel pellet temperature and cladding mechanical properties to within assumed design criteria. In addition, limiting the peak linear power density during Condition I events provides assurance that the initial conditions assumed for the LOCA analyses are met and the ECCS acceptance criteria limit of 2200 F is not exceeded.

The definitions of certain hot channel and peaking factors as used in these specifications are as follows:

F (Z) Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the maximum local heat flux on the surface of a fuel rod at core elevation Z divided by the average fuel rod heat flux, allowing for man-ufacturing tolerances on fuel pellets and rods.

F>H Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the integral of linear power along the rod with the highest integrated power to the average rod power.

The limits on F (Z) and F<N are specified in the COLR.

3 4.2.1 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE AFD The limits on AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE ensure that the F (Z) upper bound envelope is not exceeded during either normal operation oP in the event of xenon redistribution following power changes. The F (Z) upper bound envelope is specified in the COLR.

Target. flux difference is determined at equilibrium xenon conditions.

The full length rods may be positioned within the core in accordance with their respective insertion limits and should be inserted near their normal position for steady state operation at high power levels. The value of the target flux difference obtained under these conditions divided by the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER is the target flux difference at RATED THERMAL POWER for the associated core burnup conditions. Target flux ~

differences for other THERMAL POWER levels are obtained by multiplying the RATED THERMAL POWER value by the appropriate fractional THERMAL POWER level.

The periodic updating of the target flux difference value is necessary to reflect core burnup considerations.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES Although it is intended that the plant will be operated with the AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE within the target band about the target flux difference, during rapid plant THERMAL POWER reductions, control rod motion will cause the AFD to deviate outside of the target band at reduced THERMAL POWER levels. This deviation will not affect the xenon redistribution sufficiently to change the envelope of peaking factors which may be reached on a subsequent return to RATED THERMAL POWER (with the AFD within the target band) provided the time duration of, the deviation is limited. Accordingly, a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months penalty deviation limit cumulative during the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months is provided for operation outside of the target band but within the limits as specified in the COLR while at THERMAL POWER levels above 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER. For THERMAL POWER levels between 15% and 50% of RATED THERMAL POWER, deviations of the AFD outside of the target band are less significant.

The penalty of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months actual time reflects this reduced significance.

Provisions for monitoring the AFD on an automatic basis are derived from the plant process computer through the AFD Monitor Alarm. The computer determines the one minute average of each of the OPERABLE excore detector outputs and provides an alarm message if the AFD for at least 2 of 4 or 2 of 3 OPERABLE excore channels are outside the target band and the THERMAL POWER is greater than 90% or 0.9 x APL of RATED THERMAL POWER (whichever is less). During operation at THERMAL POWER levels between 50% and 90% or 0.9 x APL of RATED THERMAL POWER (whichever is less) and between 15% and 50%

RATED THERMAL POWER, the computer outputs an alarm message when the penalty deviation accumulates beyond the limits of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months and 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months , respectively.

The upper bound limit (90% or 0.9 x APL of RATED THERMAL POWER (whichever is less)) on AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE assures that the F (Z) envelope is not exceeded during either normal operatiort or in the eve9t of xenon redistribution following'ower changes. The lower bound limit (50% of RATED THERMAL POWER) is based on the fact that at THERMAL POWER levels below 50%

of RATED THERMAL POWER, the average linear. heat generation rate is half of its nominal oper'ating value and below that value, perturbations in localized flux distributions cannot affect the results of ECCS or DNBR analyses in a manner which would adversely affect the health and safety of the public.

The bases and methodology for establishing these limits is presented in topical report WCAP-8385, "Power Distribution Control and Load Following Procedures."

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3 4.2.2 and 3 4.2.3 HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR AND NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR The limits on heat flux hot channel factor, and nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factors ensure that 1) the design limits on peak local power density and minimum DNBR are not exceeded and 2) in0 the event of a LOCA the peak fuel clad temperature will not exceed the 2200 F ECCS acceptance criteria limit.

Each of these is measurable, but will normally only be determined periodically, as specified in Specifications 4.2.2 and 4.2.6.2.

', 4.2.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.6.1 This periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the hot channel factor limits are maintained provided:

a. Control rods in a single group move together with no individual rod insertion differing by more than + 12 steps from the group demand position.

b. Control rod groups are sequenced with overlapping groups as described in Specification 3.1.3.5.

c. The control rod insertion limits of Specifications 3.1.3.4 and 3.1.3.5 are maintained.

d. The axial power distribution, expressed in terms of AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE, is maintained within the limits.

The relaxation in F N as a function of THERMAL POWER allows ch nges in the radial power shape for all permissible rod insertion limits. will be maintained within its limits as specified in the COLR, provided cond).tions H (a) through (d) above are maintained.

When an F measurement is taken, both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be allowed for. 5% is the appropriate allowance for a full core map taken with the incore detector flux mapping system, and 3% is the appropriate allowance for manufacturing tolerance.

When F is measured, experimental error must be allowed for, and 4% is the appropriateH allowance for a full core map taken with the incore detection system. This 4% measurement uncertainty has been included in the design DNBR limit value. The specified limit for F also contains an additional 4%

allowance for uncertainties. The total allowance is based on the following considerations:

a) The MTC shall be measured and compared to. the BOL limit specified in the COLR prior to initial operation above 5't of RATED THERMAL POWER, after each fuel loading.

b) The MTC shall be measured at any THERMAL POWER within 7 EFPD after reaching an equilibrium boron concentration of 300 ppm.

The measured value shall be compared to the 300 ppm surveillance limit specified in the COLR. In the event this comparison indicates that the MTC will be more negative than the EOL limit, the MTC shall be remeasured at least once per 14 EFPD during the remainder of the fuel cycle and the MTC value compared to the EOL limit.
