If at any time during operat ion it in power level or distribution which i s dete nnined t hat the limi ting va lue for has the potential of bringing the cote MCPR is beier ev.ceeded, action shall be to i t s ope ra ting MCPR limit.

Initiated wi t hin 15 minutes to restore eperation to within t he presc ribed limi t s.

Sur ve il la nce ant corresponding action shall continue until reactor operation it within the prescribed limits.

If the steady state MCPR is not returned to within the presc ribed limits within two (2) hours, the react or shal I be brought to the Cold Shutewn condition within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

For core flows other than ra ted t he Operating ?!CPR Limit shall be the above applicable MCPR value times V vhere K is as shown r

!!1nimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR)

The ECCS evaluation presented in Reference 4 assumed the steady state MCPR prior to the postulated los s-o f-c oo la nt accident to be 1.18 for all ruel types.

In addition, the ECCS analysis presented in Reierence 6 assumed an initial MCPR of 1.24 for reduced flow conditions.- The Operating MCPR Limit of 1.31 for 8x8 fuel and 1.33 for 8x8R fuel in determined from the analysis of transients discussed.in Ba s es Sect ions 2.1 and 2.3.

By maintaining an operating MCPR above.these limits, the Safety Limit (T.9 2.1.A) is maintained in the event of t he rios t limiting abnormal operational transient.

For operation with less than rated core flow the Opera t ing !!CPR Limit is adjusted by multiplying the aheve limit by K. Peference 5 discusses how the transient analysis done at rated conditions e nc ompa s ses the beduced flow situation when the proper K factor is applied.

g Those abnormal opera t ional t rans ient s, analyzed in FSAR Section 14.5, which result in an automatic 4

reactor scram a re not considered a violation of the LCo.

Exceeding MCPR limits in such cases need not be r epo r t ed.
