COLR BRAIDWOOD 1 Revision 17 Page 6 of 15 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR) for BRAIDWOOD UNIT 1 CYCLE 23 2.6.2 W(Z) Values:

a) When the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is OPERABLE, W(Z) = 1.00000 for all axial points.

b) When PDMS is inoperable, W(Z) is provided as:

1) Table 2.6.2.a are the normal operation W(Z) values that correspond to the NORMAL AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) Acceptable Operation Limits provided in Figure 2.8.1.a. The Normal AFD Acceptable Operation Limits may be invoked at any time and must be used with the corresponding W(Z) values.
2) Table 2.6.2.b are the Expanded normal operation W(Z) values that correspond to the EXPANDED AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) Acceptable Operation Limits provided in Figure 2.8.1.b. The Expanded AFD Acceptable Operation Limits may be invoked at any time and must be used with the corresponding W(Z) values.

Table 2.6.2.c shows the Fco(z) penalty factors that are greater than 2% per the allowable surveillance frequency. These values shall be used to increase the Fwo(z) as per Surveillance Requirement 3.2.1.2. A 2% penalty factor shall be used at all cycle burnups that are outside the range of Table 2.6.2.c.

2.6.3 Uncertainty

The uncertainty, UFO, to be applied to the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor Fo(Z) shall be calculated by the following formula where:

Uqu = Base Fo measurement uncertainty = 1.05 when PDMS is inoperable (Uqu is defined by PDMS and cannot be less than 1.05 when OPERABLE.)

Ue = Engineering uncertainty factor= 1.03 2.6.4 PDMS Alarms:

Fo(Z) Warning Setpoint = 2% Fo(Z) Margin Fo(Z) Alarm Setpoint = 0% Fo(Z) Margin
