3/4.1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.1 80 RATION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.1 and 3/4.1.1.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and 3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.

SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T,yg.

The most restrictive condition occurs at E0L, with T,yg at no load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled RCS cooldown. In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 5.15% delta k/k is required to control the reactivity transient.

Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions. With T,yg less than or equal to 200*F. the reactivity transients resulting from any postulated accident are minimal and a 3.0% delta k/k shutdown margin provides l

adequate protection.

3/4.1.1.3 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The Ifmitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) are provided to ensure that the assumptions used in the accident and transient analysis remain valid through each fuel cycle. The surveillance requirements for measurement of the MTC during each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm the MTC value since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. The confirmation that the measured MTC value is within its limit provides assurances that the coef-ficient will be maintained within acceptable values throughout each fuel

cycle, i

BASES t

i 3/4.1.1.4 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY

{

This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 520*F.

This limitation i

is required to ensure (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range, (2) the protective instrumentation is within its normal operating range, (3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor pressure vessel is above its minimum RT temperature.

NOT 3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to

.i perform this function include (1) borated water sources, (2) charging pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid makeup pumps, (5) associated heat trac-j ing systems, and (6) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.

With the RCS average temperature above 200'F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capa-bility in the event an assumed failure renders one of the systems inoperable.

j Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or correc-tive action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from j

injection system failures during the repair period.

The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTOOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions of 3.0% delta k/k after xenon l

decay and cooldown to 200'F.

The maximum expected boration capability require-ment occurs at EOL from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires l

boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in the allowable concentra-i tions and volumes of Specification 3.1.2.8 or 81,970 gallons of 1720 ppe borated l

1 water from the refueling water tank. However, for the purpose of consistency

)

the minimum required volume of 362,800 gallons above ECCS suction connection in i

j Specification 3.1.2.8 is identical to the more restrictive value of Specifica-tion 3.5.4.

With the RCS temperature below 200*F one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injaction system becomes inoperable.

The boron capability required below 200*F is based upon providing a j

3.0% delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140*F.

This condition requires either 9970 gallons of 1720 ppe borated water from the refueling water tank or boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in accordance with the requirements of Specification 3.1.2.7.
