1 3/4.1.1 SOP.ATION C0uvem 3/4.1.1.1 SHUTDOWN MAP.CIF A sufficient SHUTDnWW 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 inacvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.

SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS Tavg. The mort restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with Tavg at no load operating temperature, and is associatec with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncontrolled RCS cooldown.

In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1.6% ak/k it initially required to control the reactivity transient. Accordingly, the SdUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR accident analysis assumptions. With Tavg less than 200*F, the most restrictive reactivity transients resulting from the postulated boron Dilution Accident are such that a 1.61 ak/k SHUT 00WN MARGIN is initially required.

3/4.1.1.3 BORON DILUTION A minimum flow rate of at least 3000 GPM provides adcquate mixing, prevents stratification and ensures that reactivity changes will be gradual during boron conctntration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System.

A flow rate of at litast 3000 GPM will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant l

System volume of 13,104 cubic feet in approximately 33 minutes.

The l

reactivity change rate associated with boron reductions will tr.erefore be within the capability for eperator recognition and control.

l 3/4.1.1.4 HODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (MTC) l The limitations on MTC are provided to ensure that the assumptiens used in the accident and transient analyses remain valid through each fuel cycle. The surveillance requirement for measurement of the MTC at the beginning, middle, and near the end of each fuel cycle is adequate to l

confirm the MTC value since this coefficient changes slowly due l
