RECEIVED OCT 2 91987 SDC 3/4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES The specifications of this section assure that the peak cladding temper-ature following the postulated design basis loss-of-coolant accident will not exceed the 2200*F limit specified in 10 CFR 50.46.

3/4.2.1 AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE The peak cladding temperature (PCT) following a postulated loss-of-coolant accident is primarily a function of the average heat generation rate of all the rods of a fuel assembly at any axial location and is dependent only second-arily on the rod to rod power distribution withh an' assembly.'The peak clad temperature is calculated assuming a LHGR for the highest powered rod which is equal to or less than the design LHGR corrected for dentification. This LHGR times 1.02 is used in the heatup code along with the exposure-dependent steady state gap conductance and rod-to-rod local peaking factor. The Technical Specification AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE (APLHGR) is this LHGR of the highest powered rod divided by its local peaking factor. .The Ifmiting value for APLHGR is shown in 9"= 1 ? 1-1. 1 ?.1-2, ?.2.1-2, ?.2.11 , 3.2.1-0 o

The daily requirement for calcuIatin'g APLHGR.when THERMAL POWER is greater than or equal to 25% of RATED THERMAL POWER is sufficient since power distribu

  • tion shift.s are,very, slow when there have not been significant power or control rod changes. The requirement to calculate APLHGR within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> after the com-pletion of a THERMAL POWER increase of at least 15% of RATED THERMAL POWER ensures thermal limits are met after power distribution shifts while still allotting time for the power distribution to stabilize. The requirement for calculating APLHGR after initially determining a LIMITING CONTROL ROD PATTERN exists ensures that APLHGR will be known following a change in THERMAL POWER or power sh6pe that could place operation into a condition exceeding a thermal limit.

0. 2.1-1, 0. 2.1- 2, 0. 2.1 3, 0. 2.1 -4, 0. 2.1- 0 ud 3. 2.1 0 is based on a los s-of-coolant (

accident analysis. The analysis was performed using General Electric (GE)

Calculational models which are consistent with the requirements of Appendix K to 10 CFR 50. A complete discussion of each code employed in the analysis is presented in NEDE-20566(1) .

Differences in this analysis compared to previous analyses can be broken down as follows. ,

a. Input Changes
1. Corrected Vaporization Calculation - Coefficients in the vaporization '

correlation used in the REFLOOD code were corrected. ,

2. Incorporated more accurate bypass areas - The bypass areas in the top guide were recalculated using a more accurate technique.

INSERT 5.3.1 Each assembly consists of zirconium alloy fuel and water rods arranged in a nominal 8x8 array. The fuel rods contain uranium dioxide fuel pellets with active lengths generally ranging between 144 and 150 inches. These fuel assemblies are limited to those that have been analyzed with NRC approved codes and methods and have been shown to comply with all of the criteria in the latest approved revision of GESTAR(NEDE-24011-P-A-US).
