Request For Additional Information For Calvert Cliffs Unit 1 Cycle 6 NUCLEAR DESIGN 1.

Does the use of the DIT computer code to generate cross sections for PDQ calculations of local power peaking eliminate the need for bias factor applied in previous reloads to account for increased pin power peaking near waterholes?

2.

Will Cycle 6 be operated with a 4-step CEA insertion allowance?

If so, do axial peaking factors and CEA worth calculations account for this?

3.

Table 5-2 specifying the limiting values of reactivity worths and allowances is confusing.

It is not in the same format as for the previous cycle and it is not clear how the total CEA worths for.

the reference cycle and Cycle 6 were obtained.

Explain in more detail the precise core conditions assumed for the calculation of the worth of all CEAs inserted (line 1).

In particular, include the assumed power level, boron concentration, average core tempera-ture, and r..oderator void distribution. Explain the reason for the difference in zero power dependent insertion limit CEA bite between Cycle 6 and Cycle 5.

TECH SPEC CHANGES 4.

Explain in more detail the changes which have resulted in the revised Fig. 3.2-2 for Linear Heat Rate Axial Flux Offset Control limits. Justify the increase in allowable rated therral power to 100" between ASI's of.06 and +.12.

(T. S. Change #7).

5.

Explain in more detail the reascn for the addition of T. S. f3.2.2.2.

How was Fig. 3.2-3b derived? (T. S. Change #14).
