' POWER DISTRIBImON LIMITS BASES 3/4.2.5 DNB PARAMETERS (Continued) initial FSAR assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR of greater than or equal to the design limit throughout each analyzed transient. The T,yg value of 598 F and the pressurizer pressure value of 2189 psig are analytical values. The readings from at least three channels will be averaged and then adjusted to account for measurement uncertainties l

before comparing with the required limit. The flow requirement (392,300 gpm) includes a measurement uncertainty of 2.8%.

Technical Specification 3.2.5 provides for an alternate minimum measured Reactor Coolant System flow limit consistent with plugging up to 10% of steam generator tubes and Departure from Nucleate Boiling requirements. When using the alternate minimum flow limit, the Tavg limit is reduced to 595 F for Reactor Coolant System flow no less than 380,500 gpm. Setpoint and constant values for OPAT and OTAT are also revised accordingly when this alternate mode of operation is entered.

l The 12-hour periodic surveillance of these parameters through instrument readout is sufficient to ensure that the parameters are restored within their limits following load changes and other expected transient operation.
