CORE ALTERATION 1.9 CORE ALTERATION shall be the movement or manipulation of any component within the reactor pressure vessel with the essel head removed and fuel in

~

the vessel. Suspension of CORE ALTERATION shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe conservative position.

CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 1.9.a The CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT is the unit-specific document that provides core operating limits for the current operating reload cycle. These cycle-specific core operating limits shall be determined for each reload cycle in accordance with Specification 6.9.1.6. Plant operation within these core operating limits is addressed within the individual specifications.

SHEARON HARRIS - UNIT 1 1-2 Amendment No.

2~1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1 REACTOR CORE (Continued)

These curves are based on an enthalpy hot channel factor, F , specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR) and a reference cosine with a peak of 1.55 for axial power shape. An allowance is included for an increase in calculated F H at reduced power based on the expression:

FAH FA)) [1 + PFAH (1-P)]

Where P is the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER, RTP =

F<H F>H limit at RATED THERMAL POWER specified in the COLR, and PF H

= Power Factor Multiplier for F H

specified in the COLR.

These limiting heat flux conditions are higher than those calculated for the range of all control rods fully withdrawn to the maximum allowable control rod insertion assuming the axial power imbalance is within the limits of the (AI) function of the Overtemperature trip. When the axial power imbalance is not within the tolerance, the axial power imbalance effect on the Over-temperature AT trips will reduce the Setpoints to provide protection consistent with core Safety Limits.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (Continued)

The most negative MTC, value equivalent to the most positive moderator density coefficient (MDC), was obtained by incrementally correcting the MDC used in the FSAR analyses to nominal operating conditions. These corrections involved:

(1) a conversion of the MDC used in the FSAR safety analyses to its equivalent MTC, based on the rate of change of moderator density with temperature at RATED THERMAL POWER conditions, and (2) subtracting from this value the largest differences in MTC observed between EOL, all rods withdrawn, RATED THERMAL POWER conditions, and those most adverse conditions of moderator temperature and pressure, rod insertion, axial power skewing, and xenon concentration that can occur in normal operation and lead to a significantly more negative EOL MTC at RATED THERMAL POWER. These corrections transformed the MDC value used in the FSAR safety analyses into the Negative MTC Limit.

The 300 ppm surveillance limit MTC value represents a conservative MTC value at a core condition of 300 ppm equilibrium boron concentration, and is obtained by making corrections for burnup and soluble boron to the Negative MTC Limit.

The Surveillance Requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning and near the end of the fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the MTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup.

3/4.1.1.4 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 551'F. This limitation is required to ensure: (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its anal;zed temperature range, (2) the trip instrumentation is within its normal operating range, (3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and (4) the reactor vessel is above its minimum RTNDT temperature.

3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS The Boron Injection System ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include.'1) borated water sources, (2) charging/safety injection pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid transfer pumps, and (5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.

With the RCS average temperature above 350'F, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths inoperable. The boration capa-bility of either flow path is sufficient to provide the required SHUTDOWN MARGIN as defined by Specification 3/4.1.1.2 after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at BOL SHEARON HARRIS - UNIT 1 B 3/4 1-2 Amendment No.

3/4.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES The specifications of this section provide assurance of fuel integrity during Condition I (Normal Operation) and II (Incidents of Moderate Frequency) events by'(1) maintaining the minimum DNBR in the core greater than or equal to the design DNBR value during normal operation and in short-term transients, and (2) limiting the fission gas release, fuel pellet temperature, and cladding mechanical properties to within assumed design cri teria. In addition, limiting the peak linear power density during Condition I events provides assurance that the initial conditions assumed for the LOCA analyses are met and the ECCS acceptance criteria limit of 2200'F is not exceeded.

The definitions of certain hot channel and peaking factors as used in these specifications are as follows'.

Fq(Z) Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the maximum local heat flux on the surface of a fuel rod at core elevation Z divided by the average fuel rod heat flux, allowing for manufacturing tolerances on fuel pellets and rods; N

FAH Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the integral of linear power along the rod with the highest integrated power to the average rod power; AH Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor, is defined as the ratio of the integral of linear power along the rod with the highest integrated power to the average rod power, with an allowance to account for measurement uncertainty.

3/4.2.1 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE The limits on AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) assure that the F (Z) upper bound envelope of the F~ limit specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR) times the normalized axial peaking factor is not exceeded during either normal operation or in the event of xenon redistribution following power changes. The normalized axial peaking factor is specified in the COLR.

Target flux difference (TARGET AFD) is determined at equilibrium xenon condi-tions. The rods may be positioned within the core in accordance with their respective insertion limits and should be inserted near their normal position for steady-state operation at high power levels. The value of the target flux difference obtained under these conditions divided by the fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER is the TARGET AFD at RATED THERMAL POWER for the associated core burnup conditions. TARGET AFD for other THERMAL POWER levels are obtained by multiplying the RATED THERMAL POWER value by the appropriate fractional THERMAL POWER level. The periodic updating of the target flux difference value is necessary to reflect core burnup considerations.

SHEARON HARRIS UNIT 1 B 3/4 2-1 Amendment No.

E POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (Continued)

At power levels below APL , the limits on AFD are specified in the COLR for RAOC operation. These limits were calculated in a manner such that expected operational transients, e.g., load follow operations, would not result in the AFD deviating outside of those limits. However, in the event such a deviation occurs, the short period of time allowed outside of the limits at reduced power levels will not result in significant xenon redistribution such that the envelope of peaking factors would change sufficiently to prevent operation in the vicinity of the APL power level.

At power levels greater than APL , two modes of operation are permissible'.

1) RAOC with fixed AFD limits as a function of reactor power level and 2) Base Load operation which is defined as the maintenance of the AFD within a band about a target value. Both the fixed AFD limits for RAOC operation and the ban) for Base Load operation are specified in the COLR. RAOC operations above APL D are the same as for operation below APL . However, it is possible when following extended load following maneuvers that the AFD limits may result in restrictions in the maximum allowed power or AFD in order to guarantee operation with F~(Z) less than its limiting value. To allow operation at the maximum permissible value, the Base Load operating procedure restricts the indicated AFD to a relatively small target band and power swings. For Base Load operation, it is expected that the plant will operate within the target band. Operation outside of the target band for the short time period allowed will not result in significant xenon redistribution such that the envelope of peaking factors would change sufficiently to prohibit continued operation in the power region defined above. To assure there is no residual xenon redistribution impact from past operation on the Base Load operation, a 24-hour waiting period at a power level above APL and allowed by RAOC is necessary. During this time period, load changes end rod motion are restricted to that allowed by the Base Load procedure. After the waiting period, extended Base Load operation is permissible.

E.

The computer determines the one-minute average of each of the OPERABLE excore detector outputs and provides an alarm message immediately if the AFD for two or more OPERABLE excore channels are: 1) outside the allowed AI power operating space (for RAOC operation), or 2) outside the acceptable AFD target band (for Base Load operation). These alarms are active when power is greater than: 1) 50X of RATED THERMAL POWER (for RAOC operation), or 2) APL (for Base Load operation). Penalty deviation minutes for Base Load operation are not accumulated based on the short period of time during which operation outside of the target band is allowed.

C c POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3/4.2.2 AND 3/4.2.3 HEAT FLVX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR RCS FLOW RATE, AND NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR The limits on heat flux hot channel factor, RCS flow rate, and enthalpy rise hot channel factor ensure that: (1) the design limits on peak local power density and minimum DNBR are not exceeded and (2) in the event of a LOCA the peak fuel clad temperature will not exceed the 2200'F ECCS acceptance criteria limit.

Each of these is measurable but will normally only be determined periodically as specified in Specifications 4.2.2 and 4.2.3. This periodic surveillance is sufficient to ensure that the limits are maintained provided:

a ~ Control rods in a single group move together with no individual rod insertion differing by more than + 12 steps, indicated, from the group demand position',

b. Control rod groups are sequenced with overlapping groups as described in Specification 3.1.3.6; SHEARON HARRIS - UNIT 1 B 3/4 2-2a Amendment No.

I POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR AND RCS FLOW RATE AND NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR (Continued)

c. The control rod insertion limits of Specifications 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 are maintained; and

d. The axial power distribution, expressed in terms of AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE, is maintained within the limits.

F<H will be maintained within its limits provided Conditions a. through d.

above are maintained'he combinations of the RCS flow requirement and the measurement of F<H ensures that the calculated DNBR will not be below the design DNBR value. The relaxation of F>H as a function of THERMAL POWER allows changes in the radial power shape for all permissible rod insertion limits.

When an F>< measurement is taken, anRqf,lowance for measurement error must be applied prior to comparing to the F limit(s) specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR). An allowance of 4X is appropriate for a full-core map taken with the Incore Detector Flux Mapping System.

Margin is maintained between the safety analysis limit DNBR and the design limit DNBR. This margin is more than sufficient to offset any rod bow penalty and transition core penalty.

When an F~ measurement is taken, an allowance for both experimental error and manufacturing tolerance must be made. An allowance of 5X is appropriate for a full-core map taken with the Incore Detector Flux Mapping System, and a 3X allowance is appropriate for manufacturing tolerance.

The hot channel factor F~(Z) M is measured periodically and increased by a cycle and height dependent power factor appropriate to either RAOC or Base Load operation, W(Z) or W(Z)>L, to provide assurance that the limit on the hot channel factor, F~(Z), xs met. W(Z) accounts for the effects of normal operation transients and was determined from expected power control maneuvers over the full range of burnup conditions in the core. W(Z)BL accounts for the more restrictive operating limits allowed by Base Load operation which result in less severe transient values. The W(Z) and W(Z)BL functions ar e specified in the COLR.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR AND RCS FLOW RATE AND NUCLEAR ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR (Continued)

When RCS flow rate is measured, no additional allowance is necessary prior to comparison with the limit of Specification 3.2.3. A normal RCS flowrate error of 2.1X will be included in Cl, which will be modified as discussed below.

The measurement error for RCS total flow rate is based upon performing a precision heat balance and using the result to calibrate the RCS flow rate indicators. Potential fouling of the feedwater venturi which might not be detected could bias the result from the precision heat balance in a non-conservative manner. Therefore, a penalty of 0.1X for undetected fouling of the feedwater venturi, raises the nominal flow measurement allowance, Cl, to 2.2X for no venturi fouling. Any fouling which might bias the RCS flow rate measurement greater than 0.1X can be detected by monitoring and trending various plant performance parameters. If detected, action shall be taken before performing subsequent precision heat balance measurements, i.e., either the effect of the fouling shall be quantified and compensated for in the RCS flow rate measurement or the venturi shall be cleaned to eliminate the fouling.

The 12-hour periodic surveillance of indicated RCS flow is sufficient to detect only flow degradation that could lead to operation outside the accept-able region of operation.

3/4.2.4 UADRANT POWER TILT RATIO The QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO limit assures that the radial power distribution satisfies the design values used in the power capability analysis. Radial power distribution measurements are made during STARTUP testing and period-ically during power operation.

The limit of 1.02, at which corrective action is required, provides DNB and linear heat generation rate protection with x-y plane power tilts. A limiting tilt of 1.025 can be tolerated before the margin for uncertainty in F~ is depleted. A limit of 1.02 was selected to provide an allowance for the uncertainty associated with the indicated power tilt.

The 2-hour time allowance for operation with a tilt condition greater than 1.02 but less than 1.09 is provided to allow identification and correction of a dropped or misaligned control rod. In the event such action does not correct the tilt, the margin for uncertainty on F~ is reinstated by reducing the maximum allowed power by 3X for each percent of tilt in excess of 1.
