LIMhTINGSAFETYSYSTEMSETTINGS BASES Intermediate and Source Ranoe. Neutron Flux The Intermediate and Source Range, Neutron Flux trips provide core protection during reactor startup to mitigate the consequences of an uncontrolled rod cluster control assembly bank withdrawal from a suberitical condition. These trips provide redundant protection to the Low Setpoint trip of the Power Range, Neutron Flux chpnnels. The Source Range channels will initiate a Reactor trip at about 10 counts per second unless manually blocked when P-6 becomes active. The Intermediate Range channels will initiate a Reactor trip at a current level equivalent to approximately 25% of RATED THERMAL POWER unless manually blocked when P-10 becomes active.

Overtemoerature AT The Overtemperature AT trip provides~ core protection to prevent DNB for all combinations of pressure, power, coolant temperature, and axial power l

distribution, provided that the transient is slow with respect to piping transit delays from the core to the temperature detectors, and pressure is within the range between the Pressurizer High and Low Pressure trips. The Setpoint is automatically varied with: (1) coolant temperature to correct for temperature induced changes in density and heat capacity of water and includes dynamic compensation for piping delays from the core to the loop temperature

" detectors, (2). pressurizer pressure, and (3) axial power distribution. With normal axial power distribution, this Reactor Trip limit is always below the core Safety Limit as shown in Figure 2.1-1. If axial peaks are greater than design; as indicated by the difference between top and bottom power range nuclear detectors, the Reactor trip is automatically reduced according to the notations in Table 2.2-1.

Del ta-T as used in the Overtemperature and Overpower AT trips, represents l,he 100% RTP value as measured by the plant for each loop. For the startup of a refueled core until measured at 100% Rated Thermal Power (RTP),

Delta T is initially assumed at a value which is conservatively lower than the lasi measured 100% RTP Delta T, for each loop. This normalizes each .

loop's AT trips to the actual operating conditions existing at the time of measurement, thus forcing the trip to reflect the equivalent full power conditions as assumed in the accident analyses. These differences in vessel j AT can arise due to several factors, the most prevalent being measured RCS loop flows greater than Minimum Measured Flow, and slightly asymmetric power distributions between quadrants. While RCS loop flows are not expected to change with cycle life, radial power redistribution between quadrants may occur, resulting in small changes in loop specific vessel AT values. Accurate determination of the loop specific vessel AT value should be made when performing the Incore/Excore quarterly recalibration and under steady state conditions (i.e., power distributions not affected by Xe or other transient conditions).

> : W ERY Al Overoower AT The Overpower AT trip provides assurance of fuel integrity (e.g., no fuel pellet melting and less than 1% cladding strain) under all possible overpower conditions, limits the required range for Overtemperature AT trip, and provides a backup to the High Neutron Flux Trip.
