2.0 OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in Section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in Technical Specification 5.6.5.

2.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 1 AND 2 (Technical Requirement 13.1.1) 2.1.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to 1.3% M/k. l 2.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 3. 4 AND 5 (Specification 3.1.1) 2.2.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to the limits shown in Figures 1 and 2. l l

2.3 Moderator Temoerature Coefficient (Specification 3.1.3) 2.3.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits are:

The BOL/AR0/HZP - MTC shall be less positive than +0.7 x 10-*

M/k/*F for power levels up to 70% RTP with a linear ramp to l O M/k/*F at 100% RTP.

The EOL/AR0/RTP-MTC shall be less negative than -5.5 x 10

  • M/k/*F.*

2.3.2 The MTC Surveillance limits are:

The 300 ppm /AR0/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or equal to

-4.75 x 10-' M/k/*F.*

The 60 ppm /AR0/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or equal to

-5.35 x 10-' M/k/*F.*

where: BOL stands for Beginning of Cycle Life AR0 stands for All Rods Out HZP stands for Hot Zero THERMAL POWER EOL stands for End of Cycle Life RTP stands for RATED THERMAL POWER

2.4 Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits (Specification 3.1.5) 2.4.1 The shutdown banks shall be withdrawn to a position greater than or equal to 225 steps.

2.5 Control Bank Insertion Limits (Specification 3.1.6) 2.5.1 The control banks shall be limited in physical insert.on as shown in Figure 3.

1. The Penalty Factor, to be applied to Fo(Z) in accordance with SR 3.2.1.2, is the maximum factor by which Fo (Z) is expected to increase over a 39 EFPD interval (surveillance interval of 31 EFPD plus the maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval per SR 3.0.2) starting from the burnup at which the F,(Z) was determined.
2. Linear interpolation is adequate for intermediate cycle burnups,
3. For 11]. cycle burnups outside the range of the table, a penalty factor of 1.0200 shall be used.
