Linear Heat Rate The limitation on linear heat rate ensures that in the event of a LOCA, the peak temperature of the fuel cladding will not exceed 22000F.

Either of the two core power distribution monitoring systems, the Excore Detector Monitoring System, or the Incore Detector Monitoring System, provide adequate monitoring of the core power distribution and are capable of verify'.nc that the linear heat rate does not exceed its limits. The Excore Detector Monitoring System performs this function by continuously monitoring the axial shape index with the operable quadrant symmetric excore neutron flux detectors and verifying that the axial shape index is maintained within the" allowable limits of Figure 2-6 as adjusted by Specification 2.10.4.(1).(c) for the allowed linear heat rate of Figure 2-5, RC Pump configuration, and F xyT of Figure 2-9.

In conjunction with the use of the excore monitoring system and in establishing the axial shape index limits, the following assumptions are made: (1) the CEA insertion limits of Specification 2.10.2.(6) and long term insertion limits of frecification 2.10.2.(7) are satisfied, (2) the flux penking augmentation 4 factors are as shown in Figure 2-8, (3) the azimuthal power tilt restrictions of Specification 2.10.h.(h) are satisfied, and (h) the total plannr radial <

peaking factor does not exceed the limits of Specification 2.10.k.(3).

  • Limit not applicable during either a thermal power ramp in excess of 5% of ,

rated thermal power per minute or a thermal power step of greater than 10%

of rated thermal power. ,

    • This number is an actual limit and corresponds to an indicated flow rate of 202,500 gpm. All other values in this listing are indicated values and in-clude an allowance for measurement uncertainty (e.g., 5450F, indicated, al- i lows for an actual Te of 547 F).
