- 1) This figure represents the Constant Axial Offset Control (CAOC) band used in safety analyses, it may be administratively tightened depending on in-core flux map results . Refer to Figure 2 of Reactor Operating Data (ROD) 1.2 for the administrative limit.
- 2) The AFD may deviate outside the target band with THERMAL POWER< 50% RTP.
- 3) The AFD target band is +/-5% for THERMAL POWER ~15% RTP .
