TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Ford Nuclear Reactor Docket 50-2, License R-28 November, 1984 3.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION 3.1 Reactivity Limits i

Applicability:

This specification applies to the reactivity of the reactor core and to the reactivity worths of control rods and experiments.

2 When the reactor is operated with the heavy water reflector tank in place, the limits will not include the static reactivity worth of the tank.

Objective:

To assure that the reactor can be controlled and shutdown at all times and that the safety limits will not be exceeded.

j Specifications (1) The shutdown margin relative to the cold, xenon free critical condition shall be at least.025 delta K/K with all three shim safety rods fully inserted and the regulating rod fully withdrawn and 0.0045 delta K/K with the most reactive shim safety rod and the regulating rod fully withdrawn.

(2) The overall core excess reactivity including moveable experiments shall not exceed 0.000 delta K/K.

(3) The total reactivity worth of all experiments shall not exceed 0.012 delta K/K.

(4) The reactivity worth of each experiment shall be limited as follows:

Maximum Exoeriment Reactivity Worth Moveable 0.0012 delta K/K Secured 0.012 delta K/K (5) The reactor shall be subcritical by at least 0.025 delta K/K during fuel loading changes.

(6) Shim safety rods shall not be removed from the core for inspection if the shutdown margin is less than 0.01 delta K/K with the most reactive remaining shim safety rod fully withdrawn.

(7) The reactivity worth of the regulating rod shall not exceed 0.006 delta K/K.
