POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3 4.2.2 and 3 4.2.3 HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR AND NUCLFML ENTEiALPY 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'ill 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 4,2.2,1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.6.l.

and 4.2.6.2. This periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the hot channel factor limits are maintained provided:

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

The relaxation in F as a function of THER.'fAL POWER allows changes in the radial power shape for H all permissible rod insertion limits. F > will be maintained within its limits as specified in the COLR, provided condztions (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 appropriate H allowance for a full core map taken with the incore detection system. This 4% measurement, uncertainty has been included in the design DNBR limit val'ue. The specified limit for F"H also contains an additional 4%

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

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3 4 2.2 and 3 4.2.3 HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR AND NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTO The limits on heat flux hot channel factor, and nuclear enthalpy rise hot channel factor ensure that 1) the design limits on peak local power density and minimum DNBR are not exceeded and 2) in 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 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.6.1 and 4.2.6.2. This periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the limits are maintained provided:
Control rods in a single group move together with no individual rod insertion differing by more than ~18 steps from the group demand position (allowed rod misalignment) for power levels less than or equal to 85X of RATED THERMAL POWER. For power levels greater than 85X of RATED THERMAL POWER, the allowed rod misalignment is from J12 to ~18 steps, which is dependent on the Allowable Power Level and the ratio of F~ limit at 100X of RATED THERMAL POWER to maximum measuered F~ as indicated in Figure 3.1-4.
Control rod groups are sequenced with overlapping groups as described in Specification 3.1.3.6.
The control rod insertion limits of Specifications 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 are maintained.
The axial power distribution, expressed in terms of AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE, is maintained within the limits.
F~ will be maintained within its limits as specified in the COLR provided conditions a. through d. above are maintained. The relaxation of F~ as a function of THERMAL POWER allows changes in the radial power shape for all permissible rod insertion limits. The form of this relaxation for DNBR limits is discussed in Section 2.1.1 of this basis.
When an F< measurement is taken, both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be allowed for. 5X is the appropriate allowance on F< for a full core map taken with the incore detector flux mapping system and 3X if the appropriate allowance for manufacturing tolerance.
