1.5.4 Inctrum nt Channel Celibretien

?

An instrument' channel calibration is a test, and adjustment (if necessary), to establish that the channel output responds with acceptable range'and accuracy to known valtes of the parameter which the channel measures or an accurate simulation of these values.

Calibration shall encompass the entire channel, including equipment actuation, alarm-or trip.and shall be deemed to include the channel test.

1.5.5 Heat Balance Check A heat balance check is a comparison of the, indicated neutron power and core thermal power.

1.5.61 Heat Balance Calibration

'An adjustment of the pcwer range channel amplifiers output to agree with the core thernal power as determined by a. weighted primary and secondary heat balance considering all heat losses.

Between 0 and 15% power, only the primary heat balance is considered.

From 15 to 100% power the heat balance is weighted linearly with only the secondary heat balance being considered at 100% power.

1.6 POWER DISTRIBUTION 1.6.1 Quadrant Power Tilt Quadrant power tilt shall be defined by the tw ilowing equation and is expressed as a percentage.

Power in any-core quadrant

[

00 (Average power of all quadrants s

l 1.6.2 Reactor Power Imbalance Reactor power imbalance is the power in the top half of the core minus the power in the bottom half of the core expressed as a percentage of rated power.

Imbalance is monitored continuously by the RPS using input from the power range channels. Imbalance limits are defined in Specification 2.1 and imbalance setpoints are defined in Specification 2.3.
