V Proposed Change A portion of these changes address the current reactor refueling for Cycle 3. These reload changes are supported in BAW-1607, Revision 1, Crystal River Unit 3 - Cycle 3 Reload Report. The remainder of the changes address increasing the Shutdown Margin in Modes 4 and 5 from
>2.2% A k/k to >3.0 Ak/k.
These changes include changing: 1) the Reactor Core Safety Limit for Reactor Thermal Power and Axial Power Imbalance and associated Bases; 2) the Limiting Safety System Settings and associated Bases; 3) the Regula-ting and Axial Power Shaping Rod Group insertion limits; 4) the figures that specify the power level cutoff for Xenon reactivity; 5) the Axial Power Imbalance Envelopes; 6) the Quadrant Power Tilt Limits; and 7) the DNB Margin Limits; 8) the Shutdown Margin requirements for Modes 4 and 5.
Reason for Proposed Change Crystal River Unit 3 will operate in Cycle 3 with 52 fresh fuel assem-blies. As stated in BAW-1607, Revision 1, Crystal River Unit 3 -
Cycle 3 Reload Report, certain Technical Specifications require revision as a result of the Cycle 3 reload. The analyses sumarized in BAW-1607, Revision 1, accounted for the Cycle 3 reload, the addition of the reac-tor coolant pump power monitors, and the potential increase in licensed rated thermal power from 2452 MWt to 2544 MWt, As a result of the pro-posed operation of Cycle 3 at the present licensed core power level, the proposed specifications which were determined for 2544 MWt will be con-servative for operation at 2452 MWt.

- b. Page 3/4 2-11: Tilt limits were reduced to reflect increased detector depletion.
- c. Page 3/4 2-13: Flow rates were revised to reflect the values used in the analyses.
The proposed changes to increase the Shutdown Margin requirements in Modes 4 and 5 are made to insure that a deboration incident resulting from the inadvertent injection of sodium hydroxide will not result in criticality.
- d. Pages 3/4 1-1, Shutdown Margin requirements are increased to 3/4 1-2a , 3/4 1-2b , 3.0%.

These proposed changes will bring the Technical Specifications into agreement with the applicable portions of BAW-1607, Revision 1, as amended by the reanalysis for continuation of operation at 2452 MWt without Reactor Coolant Pump Power Monitors.
The review, of the Technical Specifications ensures that the Final Ac-ceptance Criteria ECCS limits will not be exceeded nor will the thermal design criteria be violated.
The increase in the Shutdown Margin requirements in Modes 4 and 5 will ensure that a deboration incident resulting from the inadvertent injec-tion of sodium hydroxide will not result in criticality.

2.1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel clad-ding and possible cladding perforation which would result in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.
Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime would result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat trans-fer coefficient. DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during opera-tion and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pres-sure have been related to DNB through the BAW-2 DNB correlation. The DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux di;'.ributions. The local DNB heat flux ratio, DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indica-tive of the margin to DNB.
The minimum value of the DNBR during steady state operation, normal opera-tional transients, and anticipated transients is limited to 1.30. This value corresponds to a 95 percent probability at a 95 percent confidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all ( 'erating conditions.
The curve presented in Figure 2.1-1 represents the conditions at which a minimum DNBR of 1.30 is predicted for the maximum possible thermal power, 112%, when the reactor coolant flow is 139.7 x 106 lbs/hr, which is 106.5%
of the design flow rate for four operating reactor coolant pumps. This curve is based on the following nuclear power peaking factors with potential fuel densification effects:
FN = 2.57; FN = 1. 71 ; FN = 1.50 Q H Z The design limit power peaking factors are the most restrictive calculated at full power for the range from all control rods fully withdrawn to minimum allowable control rod withdrawal, and form the core DNBR design basis.

LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES RCS Outlet Temperature - High The RCS Outlet Temperature High trip <619*F prevents the reactor outlet tem-perature from exceeding the design limits and acts as a backup trip for all power excursion transients.
Nuclear Overpower Based on RCS Flow and AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE The power level trip setpoint produced by the reactor ccolant system flow is based on a flux-to-flow ratio which has been established to accommodate flow decreasing transients from high power.
The power level trip setpoint produced by the power-to-flow ratio provides both high power level and low flow protection in the event the reactor power level increases or the reactor coolant flow rate decreases. The power level setpoint produced by the power-to-flow ratio provides overpower DNB protec-tion for all modes of pump operation. For every flow rate there is a maxi-mum permissible power level, and for every power level there is a minimum permissible low flow rate. Typical power level and low flow rate combina-tions for the pump situations of Table 2.2-1 are as follows:
- 1. Trip would occur when four reactor coolant pumps are operating if power is >104.0% and reactor flow rate is 100%, or flow rate is
<96.1% and power level is 100%.
- 2. Trip would occur when three reactor coolant pumps are operating if power is >77.68% and reactor flow rate is 74.7%, or flow rate is 172.12% a6d power is 75%.
For safety calculations the maximum calibratic and instrumentation errors for the power level were used.
CRYSTAL RIVER - UNIT 3 B 2-5
4 LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEf1 SETTINGS BASES The AX1AL POWER IMBALANCE boundaries are established in order to prevent reactor thermal limits from being exceeded. These thermal limits are ei-ther power peaking kw/ft limits or DNBR limits. The AXIAL POWER IMBALANCE reduces the power level trip produced by the flux-to-flow ratio such that the boundaries of Figure 2.2-1 are produced. The flux-to-flow ratio reduc-es the power level trip and associated reactor power-reactor power-imbalance boundaries by 1.04% for a 1% flow reduction.
RCS Pressure - Low, High and Variable Low The High and Low trips are provided to limit the pressure range in which reactor operation is permitted.
During a slow reactivity insertion startup accident from low power or a slow reactivity insertion from high power, the RCS Pressure-High setpoint is reached before the Nuclear Overpower Trip Setpoint. The trip setpoint for RCS Pressure-High, 2300 psig, has been established to maintain the sys-tem pressure below the safety limit, 2750 psig, for any design transient.
The RCS Pressure-High trip is backed up by the pressurized code safety valves for RCS over pressure protection, and is therefore set lower than the set pressure for these valves, 2500 psig. The RCS Pressure-High trip also backs up the Nuclear Overpower trip.
The RCS Pressure-Low, 1800 psig, and RCS Presssure-Variable Low, (11.80 Tout F-5209.2) psig, Trip Setpoints have been established to main-tain the DNB ratio greater than or equal to 1.30 for those design accidents that result in a pressure reduction. It also prevents reactor operation at pressures below the valid range of DNB correlation limits, protecting against DNB.
Due to the calibration and instrumentation errors, the safety analysis used a RCS Pressure-Variable Low Trip Setpoint of (11.80 Tout F-5249.2)psig.

.. 3/4.1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS 3/4.1.1 B0 RATION CONTROL SHUTDOWN MARGIN 3/4.1.1.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN 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 Modes 1 and 2 the SHUTDOWN MARGIN is known to be within limits if all control rods are OPERABLE and withdrawn to or beyond the insertion limits.
SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS baron concentration and RCS T . The most restrictive condition for Modes 1, 2, and 3 occurs at E0L, win T at no load operating temperature, and is associated with a postubed steam line break accident and resulting uncontrolled RCS cooldown. In the analysis of this accident a minimum SHUTD0WN MARGIN of 0.60% Ak/k is initially required to control the reactivity transient. Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN required is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions.
The most restrictive condition for MODES 4 and 5 occurs at BOL, and is associated with deboration due to inadvertent injection of sodium hydroxide. The higher requirement for these modes inSJre the accident will not result in criticality.
3/4.1.1.2 BORON DILUTION A minimum flow rate of at least 2700 GPM provides adequate mixing, prevents stratification and ensures that reactiivity changes will be gradual through the Reactor Coolant System in the core during baron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System. A flow rate of at least 2700 GPM will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant System volume of 12.nn0 cubic feet in approximately 30 minutes. The reactivity change ran c;: sciated with boron concentration reduction will be within the capability for operator recognition and control.
3/4.1.1.3 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE C0 EFFICIENT The limitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) are provided to ensure that the assumptions used in the accident and transit analyses remain valid through each fuel cycle. The surveillance requirement for measurment of the MTC each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm the MTC value since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. The confirmation that the measured MTC value is within its limit provides assurance that the coefficient will be maintained within acceptable values throughout each fuel cycle.
CRYSTAL RIVER - UNIT 3 8 3/4 1-1
O O
REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.1.4 MINIMUM TEMPFRATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 525 F. This limi-tation is required to ensure 1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range, 2) the protective instrumentation is within its normal operating range, 3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and 4) the reactor pressure ves-sel is above its minimum RTNDT temperature.
3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include 1) borated water sources, 2) nakeup or DHR pumps, 3) separate flow paths, 4) boric acid pumps, 5) associated heat tracing systems, and 6) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE emergency busses.
With the RCS average temperature above 200 F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the systems inoperable. Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective action ney be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period.
The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUT-DOWN MARGIN from all operating conditions of 3.0% ok/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200 F. The maximum boration capability requirement occurs at E0L from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires either 6615 gallons of 11,600 ppm boron from the boric acid storage tanks or 45,421 gallons of 2270 ppm boron from the borated water storage tank.
The requirements for a minimum contained volume of 415,200 gallons of borated water in the borated water storage tank ensures the capability for borating the RCS to the desired level. The specified quantity of borated water is consistent with the ECCS requirements of Specification 3.5.4.
Therefore, the larger volume of borated water is specified.
With the RCS temperature below 200*F, one injection system is acceptable l without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injec-tion system becomes inoperable.

- REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.E BORAT10N SYSTEMS (Continued)
The boron capability required in Modes 4 and 5 is based on a potential moderator dilution accident and is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 3.0% ak/k after xenon decay and and cooldown from 200*F to 140 F. This condition requires either 300 gallons of 11,600 ppm boron from the boric acid storage system or 1608 gallons of 2270 ppm boron from the borated water storage tank. To envelop future cycle BWST contained borated water volume requirements, a minimum volume of 13,500 gallons is specified.
The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration ensure a pH value of between 7.2 and 11.0 of the solution sprayed within containment after a design basis accident. The pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion cracking on mechanical systems and components.
The OPERABILITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.
3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES The specifications of this section (1) ensure that acceptable power distribution limits are maintained, (2) ensure that the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN is maintained, and (3) limit the potential effects of a rod ejection accident. OPERABILITY of the control rod position indicators is required to determine control rod positions and thereby ensure compliance with the control rod alignment and insertion limits.
The ACTION statements which permit limited variations from the basic requirements are accompanied by additional restrictions which ensure that
~
the original criteria are met. For example, misalignment of a safety or regulating rod requires a restriction in THERMAL POWER. The reactivity worth of a misaligned rod is limited for the remainder of the fuel cycle to prevent exceeding the assumptions used in the safety analysis.
l The position of a rod declared inoperable due to misalignment should not be l included in computing the average group position for determining the OPERABILITY of rods with lesser misalignments.
