-40 -30 -20 0 0 10 20 30 40 Axial Flux Difference NOTES:

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 :2:15% RTP.
