TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION PAGE WITH PEN AND INK CHANGES The following Technical Specification is affected by this requested Technical Specifications change:

Technical Snecification Eggg I

Definition 1.4 1-1 Replace the existing definition with the following from NUREG 1433, " Standard Technical Specifications General i Electric Plants, BWR/4," Revision 1: )

A CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall be the adjustment, ao necessary, of the channel output such that it responds within the necessary range and accuracy to known values of the parameter that the channel monitors. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION shall encompass the entire channel, including the required sensor, alarm, display, and trip functions, and shall include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST. Calibration of instrument channels with resistance temperature detector (RTD) or thermocouple sensors may consist of an'inplace qualitative assessment of sensor behavior and normal calibration of the remaining adjustable devices in the ]

channel. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION may be performed by means of any serias of sequential, overlapping, or total channel steps so that the entire channel is calibrated.

1.1 ACTION shall be that part of a $pecification which prescribes remedial asafures required under designated condittens.

AVERAGE PLANAR EXPOSURE

1. 2 The AVERAGE PLANAR EXPOSURE shall be applicable to a specific planar height and is equal to the sum of the exposure of all the fuel rods in the '

specified bundle at the specified height divided by the number of fuel

rods in the fuel bundle.

AVERAGEPLANARLINEARHEATGENERATIONRAJ 1.3 The AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENEnct0N RATE (APLNGR) shall be applicable to a specific planar height and is equhl to the sus of the LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATES for all the fuel rods in the specified bundle at the :

specified height divided by tise neber of fuel rods in the fuel tendle. j

1.5 A CHANNEL CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel behavier during operation by abservation. This determination shall include, where possible, camparisen of the channel indication and/or status with other indications and/or status derived free independent instruuent channels measuring the same parameter.
