Byron Unit 2 Cycle 4 Operating Limit Report - Fxy Portion This Radial Peaking Factor Limit Report is provided in accordance with Paragraph 6.9.1.9 of ine Byron Unit 2 Nuclear Plant Technical Specifications. 1 The Fxy limits for RATED THERMAL POWER within specified core planes for Cycle 4 shall be:

a. For the lower core region from greater than or equal to 0% to less than or equal to 50'/.:
1. For all core planes containing bank "D" control rods:

RTP F

xy 1 1.990, for Bu 1 8000 MHD/MTU ,,

1 1.990, for Bu > 8000 MHD/MTV

2. For all unrodded core planes:

RTP F

xy 1 1.784, for Bu 1 8000 MHD/MTU 1 1.656, for Bu > 8000 MHD/MTU

b. For the upper core region from greater than 50% to less than.or .

equal to 1001.:

1. For all planes containing bank "D" control tods: 1 F 1 1.952, for Bu 1 8000 MWD /MTU 1 1.95? ' r. c Bu > 8000 MHD/MTU
2. For all unrodded core planes:

RTP F

xy 1 1.732, for Bu 1 8000 MHD/MTU 1 1.778, for Bu > 8000 MHD/MTU These Fxy(z)-limits were used to' confirm that the heat flux hot channel factor FQ(z) will be limited to the Technical Specification values of:

F9 (z)1[2.Jol [K(z)] for P > 0.5 and, P

Fn(z)1[5.00] IK(z)] for P 1 0.5 assuming the most limiting axial power distributions expected to resuit ft om the insertion and removal of Control Banks C and D.during operation, including the accompanying variations in-the axial xenon and power distributions as~

described in the " Power Dit;tribution Control and Load Following Procedures",

WCAP-8403,. September, 1974. Therefore, these F x limits provide assurance-thatthe.initialconditionsassumedintheLOCAknalysisaremet,alongwith the ECCS acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46.
