Amendment Nos. 210 and 210

4 TS 312-20 A 2cc QUADRANT POWER TILT allows that a 57c tilt might actually be present in the core because of insensitivity of the excore detectors for disturbances near the core center such as misaligned inner control rod assembly and an error allowance. No increase in F occurs with til q

up to 5?c because misaligned control rod assemblies producing such tilts do not extend to the unrodded plane, where the maximum F occurs.

q 4

The QPTR limit must be maintained during power operation with THERMAL POWER > 507 RATED POWER to prevent core power distributions from exceeding the design limits.

Applicability during power operation s 50% RATED POWER or when shut down is not re because there is either insufficient stored energy in the fuel or insufficient energy bein transferred to the reactor coolant to require the implementation of a QPTR limit on the distribution of core power. The QPTR limit in these conditions is, therefore, not important. N that the FNaH and F (Z) LCOs still apply, but allow progressively higher peaking factors at 50%

q

)

RATED POWER or lower.

1 The limits of the DNB related parameters assure that each of the parameters are maintained within the normal steady-state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and accident analyses. The limits are consistent with the UFSAR assumptions and have been analyti demonstrated to be adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR which is greater than the desi throughout each analyzed transient. Measurement uncertainties are accounted for in the DNB design margin. Therefore, measurement values are compared directly to the surveillance limits without applying instrument uncertainty.

The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> periodic surveillance of temperature and pressure through instrument readout is 4

sufficient to ensure that these parameters are restored to within their limits following load i

1 and other expected transient operation. The measurement of the Reactor Coolant System To Flow Rate once per refueling cycle is adequate to detect flow degradation.
