The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in Section 1.0 are presented in the subsections which follow. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in Technical Specification 5.6.5.
2.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN (SDM)
(Specifications 3.1.1, 3.1.4, 3.1.5, 3.1.6, and 3.1.8)
2.1.1 The Shutdown Margin in MODES 1-4 shall be greater than or equal to 1.3% k/k.
2.1.2 The Shutdown Margin prior to blocking Safety Injection below P-11 in MODES 3 and 4 shall be greater than 0% k/k as calculated at 200°F.
2.1.3 The Shutdown Margin in MODE 5 shall be greater than or equal to 1.0% k/k.
2.2 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)
(Specification 3.1.3)
2.2.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient shall be less positive than the limits shown in Figure 1. These limits shall be referred to as the upper limit. Figure 1 cannot be revised under 10 CFR 50.59 due to Technical Specification Figure 3.1.3-1.
The Moderator Temperature Coefficient shall be less negative than -47.9 pcm/F.
This limit shall be referred to as the lower limit.
2.2.2 The MTC 300 ppm surveillance limit is -40.4 pcm/F (all rods withdrawn, Rated Thermal Power condition).
2.2.3 The MTC 60 ppm surveillance limit is -45.5 pcm/F (all rods withdrawn, Rated Thermal Power condition).

The shutdown banks shall be withdrawn to at least 222 steps.
2.4 Control Bank Insertion Limits (Specification 3.1.6)
2.4.1 Control Bank insertion limits are specified by Figure 2.
2.4.2 Control Bank withdrawal sequence is A-B-C-D. The insertion sequence is the reverse of the withdrawal sequence.
2.4.3 The difference between each sequential Control Bank position is 115 steps when not fully inserted and not fully withdrawn. Overlap is defined as the fully withdrawn (ARO) position minus this 115 step tip-to-tip separation.

RATED THERMAL POWER
2.5.1 FQRTP = 2.50.
2.5.2 K(Z) is provided in Figure 3.
2.5.3 The W(z) functions that are to be used in Technical Specification 3.2.1 and Surveillance Requirement 3.2.1.2 for determining FQW(z) are shown in Table A.1a and A.1b.** The W(z) functions shown in Table A.1a are only applicable to Figure 4a. The W(z) functions shown in Table A.1b are only applicable to Figure 4b.
The data in these tables should be used independently; cross interpolation or extrapolation between W(z) sets is prohibited.
The Axial Flux Difference (AFD) Band in Figure 4b is more restrictive than the AFD Band in Figure 4a. Prior to switching from Figure 4b to Figure 4a, FQW(z) must be confirmed to meet Technical Specification requirements by one of the following methods:
- 1. Confirm FQW(z) meets the Technical Specification Limit with the Table A.1a W(z) values for the most recent surveillance performed.
- 2. Perform a new surveillance and confirm FQW(z) meets the Technical Specification Limit with the Table A.1a W(z) values.
The W(z) values have been determined for several burnups up to 18000 MWD/MTU in Cycle 26. This permits determination of W(z) at any cycle burnup up to 18000 MWD/MTU through the use of three point interpolation. For cycle burnups greater than 18000 MWD/MTU, use of 18000 MWD/MTU W(z) values without extrapolation is conservative. The W(z) values were determined assuming Cycle 26 operates with RAOC strategy.
The W(z) values are provided for 73 axial points within the core height boundaries of 0 and 12.07 feet (hot core height) at equally spaced intervals.

- This record was final approved on 3/4/2022, 6:17:09 AM. (This statement was added by the PRIME system upon its validation)
The W(z) values are generated assuming that they will be used for a full power surveillance. When a part power surveillance is performed from beginning of cycle to 150 MWD/MTU and at 45% +/- 5% RTP, the W(z) values listed in Table A.2 should be used. When a part power surveillance is performed after 150 MWD/MTU, or at a power level other than the level specified above, the HFP W(z) values in Table A.1a or A.1b should be used.
W(z) values should be adjusted by the factor 1/P, when P is > 0.5. When P is 0.5, the W(z) values should be adjusted by the factor 1/(0.5), or 2.0. This is consistent with the adjustment in the FQ(z) limit at part power conditions.
Table A.3 shows the burnup dependent FQ penalty factors for Cycle 26 that are applicable to both Figures 4a and 4b. These values shall be used to increase FQW(z) when required by Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.2.1.2. A 2%
penalty factor should be used at all cycle burnups that are outside the range of Table A.3.
- Refer to Table A.2 for W(z) values for evaluating the startup testing flux map at 150 MWD/MTU burnup and 45% +/- 5% RTP.
2.5.4 The uncertainty, UFQ, to be applied to measured FQ(Z) shall be calculated by the following
UFQ = Uqu
- Ue
where:
U qu = Base FQ measurement uncertainty = 1.05 when PDMS is inoperable (U qu is defined by PDMS when OPERABLE)
U e = Engineering uncertainty factor = 1.03
