l The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in Technical Specification 6.8.1.6 2.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 1 AND 2 (Specification 3/4.1.1.1) 2.1.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to 1.3 percent & /k.

2.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 3. 4 AND 5 (Specification 3/4.1.1.2) 2.2.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to the limits I

shown in figures 1 and 2.

i 2.3 Moderator Temoerature Coefficient (Specification 3/4.1.1.3) 2.3.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits are:

The 80L/AR0/ HIP - MTC shall be less positive than +0.7 x 10-' &/k/*F l for power levels up to 70 percent RTP with a linear ramp to 0 &/k/*F at 100 percent RTP.

The E0L/AR0/RTP-MTC shall be less negative than

-5.50 x 10-* M/k/*F.*

2.3.2 The MTC Surveillance limit is:

The 300 ppm /AR0/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or equal to -4.75 x 10-' M/k/*F.*

where: BOL stands for Beginning of Cycle Life l ARO stands for All Rods Out l HZP stands for Hot Zero THERMAL POWER l

E0L stands for End of Cycle Life l

RTP stands for RATED THERMAL POWER 2.4 Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit (Specification 3/4.1.3.5) 2.4.1 The shutdcwn rods shall be withdrawn to a position greater than or equal to 225 steps.

2.5 Control Rod Insertion Limits (Specification 3/4.1.3.6) 2.5.1 The control rod banks shall be limited in physical insertion as shown in figure 3.

  • Based on full-power T-average in the range of 584.4 to 588.4*F, inclusive.

1. . The Penalty Factor, to be applied to~ Fl(Z) in accordance with surveillance requirement 4.2.2.2.f, is the maximum factor by which Fl(Z) is expected to increase over a 39 EFPD interval (surveillance interval of 31 EFPD plus the maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval per Technical Specification 4.0.2) starting from the burnup at which the Fj(Z) was determined.
2. Linear interpolation is adequate for intermediate cycle burnups.
3. For All cycle burnups outside the range of the table, a penalty factor I of 1.0200 shall be used.  :
