Technical Specification Changes Ameren Tech Spec 2.1.1 Reactor Core Safety Limits
Revise to add Framatome DNBR and FCM limits Tech Spec 32i Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor (FQ(Z))
Revise to reflect PDC-3 for power distribution control Tech Spec 323 Axial Flux Difference (AFD) (Relaxed Axial Offset Control Methodology, RAOC)
Revise to reflect PDC-3 for power distribution control Tech Spec 42.1-Reactor Core
Revise to refer to Zirconium clad Tech Spec 56.5 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR)
Revise to add Framatome methods to list of methods used to support COLR Tech Spec 31.1 7 Spent Fuel Assembly Storage and Tech Spec 4.3 Fuel Storage
Potentially impacted, an evaluation of the fuel storage rack subcriticality analysis is ongoing.
Dependent upon the results of the evaluation of the analysis, these Tech Specs may require revision.
