The evaluation of a given transient begins with the system initial parameters shown in UFSAR Table 16.0.1 that are input to a SE-oore dynamie A

tehavior transient computer program. The codes used to evaluate transients are described in SESTAt !!. The principal result of this evaluation:is the reduction in MCPR caused by the transient.

The purpose of the K-factor of Figure 3.t.3 2 is to define operating J

limits at other than rateI core flow conditions. At less then 2005 of rated flow the required MCPR is the product of the MCPR and the y factor. The K, factors assure that the Safety Limit MCPR will not be violated during a flow' l

1hcrosse transient resulting from a motor-generator speed control failure. The K factors may be applied to both annual and automatic flow control modes.

f The K, factor values shown.in Figure 3.t.3 2 were developed generically 1

and are-apflicable to's11 SWR /2, BWR/3, and SWR /4 reactors. The K, factors-

. were derived using the flow control line corresponding to RATED THERMAL POWER at rated core flow, although they are applicable for the extended opera *.ing _ '

l region.
