REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS (Continued)

The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from all operating conditions of 1.0% Ak/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200*F.

The maximum boration capability requirements occur at BOL from full power peak xenon conditions and I

requires 11,336 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 65,000 gallons of 2000 ppm borated water from the l

refueling water storage tank.

With the RCS temperature below 200*F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

The boration capability required below 200*F is sufficient to provide a

SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1%

Ak/k after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140'F.

This condition requires either 5000 gallons of 7000 l

ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 175,000 gallons of 2000 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank.

3/4.1.3 MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES l

The specifications of this section ensure that (1) acceptable power distribution limits are maintained, (2) the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN l

is maintained, and (3) the potential effects of rod misalignment on associated accident analyses are limited.

OPERABILITY of the movable control assemblies is established by observing rod motion and determining that rods are positioned within 12 steps (indicated l

position),

of the respective group demand counter position.

The OPERABILITY of the rod position indication system is established by appropriate periodic CHANNEL

CHECKS, CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TESTS and l

CHANNEL CALIBRATIONS.

OPERABILITY of the control rod position indicators is required to determine control rod position and thereby ensure compliance with the control rod alignment and insertion limits.

The OPERABLE condition for the analog rod position indicators is defined as being capable of indicating rod position within,

12 steps of the associated group demand indicator.

For power levels below 50

percent, the specifications of this section permit a

one hour stabilization period to permit stabilization of known thermal drift in the analog rod position indicator channels.

During this stabilization period, greater reliance is placed upon the group demand position indicators to determine rod position. Above 50 percent

power, rod motion is not expected to induce thermal l

transients of sufficient magnitude to exceed the rod position indicator instrument accuracy of 12 steps.

Limited use of rod position indication primary detector voltages is allowed as a backup method of determining control rod positions.

Comparison of the group demand indicator to the calibration curve is sufficient to allow determination that a

control rod is indeed misaligned from its bank when primary voltage measurements are used.
