' SAFETY LIMITS 1

BASES The reactor trip envelope appears to approach the safety limits more close-ly than it actually does because the reactor trip pressures are measured at a location where the indicated pressure is about 30 psi less than core out-let pressure, providirg a more conservative margin to the safety limit.

The curves of Figure 2.1-2 are based on the more restrictive of two thermal limits and account for the effects of potential fuel densification and po-tential fuel rod bow.

1.

The 1.30 DNBR limit produced by a nuclear power peaking factor of FO" 2.56 or the combination of the radial peak, axial peak, and position of the axial peak that yields no less than a 1.30 DNBR.

2.

The combination of radial and axial peak that causes central fuel melt-ing at the hot s;:ot. The limits are 20.4 kW/f t for batches 1E, 48, and SA and 20.5 kW/ft for batenes SB, 6, and 7.

Power peaking is not a directly observable quantity and therefore limits have been established on the basis of the reactor power imbalance produced by the power peaking.

The specified flow rates for curves 1 and 2 of Figure 2.1-2 correspond to the expected minimum flow rates with four pumps and three pumps, respective-ly.

The curve of Figure 2.1-1 is the most restrictive of all possible reactor coolant pump-maximum thermal power combinations shown in BASES Figure 2.1.

The curves of BASES Figure 2.1 represent the conditions at which a minimum DNBR of 1.30 is predicted at the maximum possible thermal power for the num-ber of reactor coolant pumps in operation or the local quality at the point of minimum DNBR is equal to +22%, whichever condition is more restrictive.

These curves include the potential effects of fuel rod bow and fuel densifi-Cation.

The DNBR as calculated by the B&W-2 DNB correlation continually increases from point of minimum DNBR, so that the exit OWR is always higher. Extrap-olation of the correlation beyond its published quality range of +225 is justified on the basis of experimental data.

2.1 SAFETY LIMIT 3 BASES l

2.1.1 and 2.1.2 REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel cladding and possible cladding perforation unich would result in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. Overneating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime wnere the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface tamperature is sligntly aoove the coolant saturation temperature.

Ooeration abovt the unoer bouncary of the nucleate boiling regime would result in excessive claading temoeratures pecause of the onset of cecarture from nucleate boiling (DN8) and the resultant snare reduction in heat transfer coefficient. DNS is not a directly measuraole parameter during operation and therefore TriERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Tenper-ature and Pressure have been related to DN8 througn the 88W-2 DNS correlation. The DN8 correlation has been develcoed to predict the DN8 flux and tne location of DNS for axially unifom ano non-onifam neat flux distributiens. The local DN8 neat flux ratio. DNBR, cefinec as the ratio of the neat flux that would cause DN8 at a particular core location to tne local heat flux, is incicative of the margin to DNS.

~

~

The minimum value of tne DNBR during steady state operation, nomal operational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to 1.30.

This value corresponds to a 95 percent probability at a 95 percent confinance level that DN8 will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DN8 for all operating conditions.

The curve presented in Figure 2.1-1 represents the conditions at wnicr.

a minisus DN8R of 1.30 is predicted for the maxisam possible thermal power 112 wnen the reactor coolant flow is 380,160 tiPM, which is 108% of I

design flow rate for four operating reactor coolant pumps. This urve is based on the following hot channel factors with potential fuel densifi-cation and fuel rod bowing effects:

N Fq = 2.56; Fg = 1.71; F"g = 1.50 The design limit power peaking factors are the most restrictive calculated at full power for the range from all control rods fully witadrawn to minism allowable control rod witharawal, and fem tne core DN8R design basis.
