M f77 FUNCTIONAL UNIT                            TRIP SETPOINT                        ALLOWABLE VALUES C:
Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB)and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient.

DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pressure have been related to DNB through the CE-1 correlation.

The CE-1 DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB heat flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux distributions..The local DNB heat flux ratio, DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indicative of the margin to DNB.a,n acct kcbte l'g~,'.The minimum value of the DNBR during steady state operation, normal operational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to~This.value corresponds to a 95K probability at a 95K confidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all operating conditions.

The curves of Figure 2.1-1 show the loci of points of THERMAL POWER, Reactor Coolant System pressure and maximum cold leg temperature with four[g reactor Coolant Pumps operating for which the minimum DNBR is no less than for the family of axial shapes and corresponding radial peaks shown in , y Figure B 2.1-1.The limits in Figure 2.1-1'ere calculated for reactor coolant inlet temperatures less than or equal to 580'F.The dashed line at 580 F coolant inlet temperature is not a safety limit;however, operation above 580 F is not possible because of the actuation of the main steam line safety valves which limit the maximum value of reactor inlet temperature.

SAFETY LIMITS AND LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASESVariable Power Level-Hi h A Reactor trip on Variable Overpower is provided to protect the.reactor core during rapid positive reactivity addition excursions which are too rapid to be protected by a Pressurizer Pressure-High or Thermal'Margin/Low Pressure Trip.The Variable Power Level High trip setpoint is operator adjustable and can be set no higher than 9.62K above the indicated THERMAL POWER level.Operator action is required to increase the trip setpoint as THERMAL POWER is'ncreased.
TABLE  2.2-1 Continued REACTOR PROTECTIVE INSTRUMENTATION  TRIP SETPOINT LIMITS I
The trip setpoint is automatically decreased as THERMAL POWER decreases.
C:
The trip setpoint has a maximum value of 107.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER and a minimum setpoint of 15.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER.Adding to this maximum value the possible variation in trip point due to calibration andinstrument errors, the maximum actual steady-state THERMAL POWER level at which a trip would be actuated is 112K of RATED THERMAL POWER, which is the value used in the safety analyses.Pressurizer Pressure-Hi h The Pressurizer Pressure-High trip, in conjunction with the pressurizer safety valves and main steam safety valves, provides Reactor Coolant System protection against overpressurization in the event of loss of load without reactor trip.This trip's setpoint is at less than or equal to 2375 psia which is below the nominal lift setting 2500 psia of the pressurizer safety valves and its operation minimizes the undesirable operation of the pressurizer safety valves.Thermal Mar in/Low Pressure The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip is provided to prevent operatign when the DNBR is less than&28i%he.~ccrp4.4lc w<<i~~~bMB</i'~i'F'.The trip is initiated whenever the Reactor Coolant System pressure signal drops below either 1900 psia or'computed value as described below, whichever is higher.The computed value is a function of the higher of bT power or neutron power, reactor inlet temperature, the number of reactor coolant pumps operating and the AXIAL SHAPE INDEX.The minimum value of reactor coolant flow rate, the maximum AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT and the maximum CEA deviation permitted for continuous operation are assumed in the generation of this trip function.In addition, CEA group sequencing in accordance with Specifica-tions 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 is assumed.Finally, the maximum insertion of CEA banks which can occur during any anticipated operational occurrence prior to a Power Level-High trip is assumed.The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip setpoints are derived from the core safety limits through application of appropriate allowances for equipment response time measurement uncertainties and processing error.A safety margin is provided which includes: an allowance of 2.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER to compensate for potential power measurement error;an allowance of 3.04F to compensate for potential temperature measurement uncertainty; and a further allowance of 91.0 psia to compensate for pressure measurement error and time delay associated with providing effective termination of the occurrence that exhibits the most rapid decrease in margin to the safety limit.The 91.0 psia al.lowance is made up of a 25.0 psia pressure measurement allowance and a 66.0 psia time delay allowance.

ST. LUCIE - UNIT 2                                   2-10
SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T.The most restrictive avg'ondition occurs at EOL, with T at no load operating temperature, and.is avg associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled RCS coo'adown.
In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 5.0X delta k/k is required to control the reactivity transient.
Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions.
At earlier times in core life, the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN required for the most restric" tive conditions is less than 5.OX hk/k.With T less than or equal to 2004F, avg the reactivity transients resulting from any postulated accident are minimal and a g4 delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN provides adequate protection.
3/4.1.1.3 BORON DILUTION A minimum flow rate of at least 3000 gpm provides adequate mixing, prevents stratification and ensures that reactivity changes will be gradual during boron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System.A flow rate of at least 3000 gpm will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant System volume of 10,931 cubic feet in approximately 26 minutes.The reactivity change rate associated with boron concentration reductions will therefore be within the capability of operator recognition and control.3/4.1.1.4 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The limitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC)are provided to ensure that the assumptions used in the accident and transient analysis remain valid through each fuel cycle.The surveillance requirements for measurement of the MTC during each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm the MTC value since this coe'fficient changes s'lowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup.The confirmation that the measured MTC value is within its limit provides assurances that the coef-ficient will be maintained within acceptable values throughout each fuel cycle.ST.LUCIE-UNIT 2 B 3/4 1-1


REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.1.1.5 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 515 F.This limitation is required to ensure (1)the moderator temperature coefficient is.within its analyzed temperature range, (2)the protective 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 pressure vessel is above its minimum RTNDT temperature.

With the RCS average temperature above 2004F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed fai lure renders one of the systems inoperable.

Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period..The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions o~.OX delta k/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F.The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at EOL from full power equi librium xenon conditions and requires boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in the allowable concentrations and volumes of Specification 3.1.2.8 or 72,000 gallons of 1720 ppm-2100 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank.1ttith the RCS temperature below 200'F one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

The boron capability required below 200 F is based upon providing a%o delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140'F.This condition requires either 4,150 gallons of 1720 ppm-2100 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank or boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in accordance with the requirements of Specification 3.1.2.7.The contained water volume limits includes allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.

The OPERABILITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.The'1imits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWT also ensure a pH value of between 7.0 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA.This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.

This distribution may, in tur n,.have a significant effect on (1)the available SHUTDOWN MARGIN, (2)the time-dependent long-term power distributions relative to those used in generating LCOs and LSSS setpoints, and (3)the ejected CEA worth, used in the safety analysis.Therefore, the ACTION statement associated with the large misalignment of a CEA requires a prompt realignment of the misaligned CEA.The ACTION statements applicable to misaligned or inoperable CEAs include requirements to align the OPERABLE CEAs in a given group with the inoperable CEA.Conformance with these alignment requirements bring the core, within a short period of time, to a configuration consistent with that assumed in generating LCO and LSSS setpoints.
: 2. 1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1  REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel cladding and possible cladding perfoJ ation which would result in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. Over heating, of the fuel is prevented by maintaining the steady-state peak linear heat rate below the level at which centerline fuel melting will occur. Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.
However, extended operation with'CEAs significantly inserted in the core may lead to per turhations in (1)local burnup, (2)peaking factors, and (3)available shutdown margin which are more adverse than the conditions assumed to exist in the safety analyses and LCO~and LSSS setpoints determination.
Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient. DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pressure have been related to DNB through the CE-1 correlation. The CE-1 DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB heat flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux distributions. .The local DNB heat flux ratio, DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indicative of the margin to DNB.                                                             a,n acct kcbte l'g~,'.
Therefore, time limits have been imposed on operation with inoperable CEAs to preclude such adverse conditions from developing.
                                                                            ~
The requirement to reduce power in certain time limits depending upon the previous F is to eliminate a potential nonconservatism for situations when a CEA has be5n declared inoperable.

SAFETY LIMITS AND LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Variable Power Level-Hi    h A Reactor  trip on Variable Overpower is provided to protect the. reactor core during  rapid  positive reactivity addition excursions which are too rapid to be protected by a Pressurizer Pressure-High or Thermal'Margin/Low Pressure Trip.
The Variable Power Level High trip setpoint is operator adjustable and can be set no higher than 9.62K above the indicated THERMAL POWER level.
Operator action is required to increase the        trip setpoint as THERMAL POWER The  trip setpoint is automatically decreased as THERMAL POWER      is'ncreased.
decreases. The  trip setpoint has a maximum value of 107.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER and a minimum    setpoint of 15.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER. Adding to this maximum  value  the possible variation in trip point due to calibration and instrument errors, the    maximum actual steady-state    THERMAL POWER level at which a trip    would be actuated  is  112K  of  RATED THERMAL POWER, which is the value used in the safety analyses.
Pressurizer Pressure-Hi h The Pressurizer Pressure-High trip, in conjunction with the pressurizer safety valves and main steam safety valves, provides Reactor Coolant System protection against overpressurization in the event of loss of load without reactor trip. This trip's setpoint is at less than or equal to 2375 psia which is below the nominal      lift setting 2500 psia of the pressurizer safety valves and its operation minimizes the undesirable operation of the pressurizer safety valves.
Thermal Mar in/Low Pressure The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure      trip is provided to prevent operatign when  the  DNBR  is less than&28i %he. ~ccrp4.4lc w<<i~~~ bMB< /i'~i'F'.
The trip is initiated whenever the Reactor Coolant System pressure signal drops below either 1900 psia or' computed value as described below, whichever is higher. The computed value is a function of the higher of bT power or neutron power, reactor inlet temperature, the number of reactor coolant pumps operating and the AXIAL SHAPE INDEX. The minimum value of reactor coolant flow rate, the maximum AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT and the maximum CEA deviation permitted for continuous operation are assumed in the generation of this trip function. In addition, CEA group sequencing in accordance with Specifica-tions 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 is assumed. Finally, the maximum insertion of CEA banks which can occur during any anticipated operational occurrence prior to a Power Level-High trip is assumed.
The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip setpoints are derived from the core safety limits through application of appropriate allowances for equipment response time measurement uncertainties and processing error. A safety margin is provided which includes: an allowance of 2.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER to compensate for potential power measurement error; an allowance of 3.04F to compensate for potential temperature measurement uncertainty; and a further allowance of 91.0 psia to compensate for pressure measurement error and time delay associated with providing effective termination of the occurrence that exhibits the most rapid decrease in margin to the safety limit. The 91.0 psia al.lowance is made up of a 25.0 psia pressure measurement allowance and a 66.0 psia time delay allowance.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS CEA DROP TIME LIMITING CONDITION    FOR OPERATION gI7 3.
from a fully Athdrawn position, shall be less than or equal to        ~
1.3.4 The individual full-length (shutdown and regulating) CEA drop time, seconds from when the electrical power is interrupted to the CEA drive mechanism until the CEA reaches its 90K insertion position with:
: a. T avg greater than or equal to 5154F,    and
: b. All reactor coolant    pumps operating.
APPLICABILITY:    MODES  1 and 2.
ACTION:
: a. With the drop time of any,  full-length  CEA  determined to exceed the above limit:
: 1. If in or MODE l or  2, be in at least  HOT STANDBY  within  6  hours,
: 2. If in  MODE 3, 4, or 5, restore the    CEA  drop time to  within the above  limit prior to  proceeding to  MODE  1 or 2.
: b. With the  CEA drop times within limits but determined at less than full  reactor coolant flow, operation may proceed provided THERMAL POWER is restricted to less than or equal to the maximum THERMAL POWER level allowable for the reactor coolant pump combination operating at the time of CEA drop time determination.
SURVEILLANCE RE UIREMENTS
: 4. l. 3.4 The CEA drop time of full-length CEAs    shall  be demonstrated    through measurement prior to reactor criticality:
: a. For all CEAs following each removal and      installation of .the reactor vessel head,
: b. For specifically affected individuals CEAs following any main-tenance on or modification to the CEA drive system which could affect the drop time of those specific CEAs, and C. At least once per  18 months:

3/4. 1    REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4. 1 . 1  BORAT ION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.1    and  3/4.1.1.2    SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable      limits, and 3) the  reactor  will be maintained        sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the                shutdown  condition.
SHUTDOWN MARGIN    requirements vary throughout core life as            a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T . The most restrictive occurs at EOL, with T      at no load operating temperature, and .is avg'ondition avg associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled RCS coo'adown. In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 5.0X delta k/k is required to control the reactivity transient.
Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions. At earlier times in core life, the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN required for the most restric" tive conditions is less than 5. OX hk/k. With Tavg less than or equal to 2004F, the reactivity transients resulting from any postulated accident are minimal and a g4 delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN provides adequate protection.
3/4. 1. 1. 3    BORON DILUTION A minimum flow rate of at least 3000 gpm provides adequate mixing, prevents stratification and ensures that reactivity changes will be gradual during boron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System. A flow rate of at least 3000 gpm will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant System volume of 10,931 cubic feet in approximately 26 minutes.                    The reactivity change rate associated with boron concentration reductions will therefore be within the capability of operator recognition and control.
3/4. 1. 1.4    MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The  limitations  on moderator temperature  coefficient          (MTC)  are provided to ensure that the assumptions used in the accident and transient analysis remain valid through each fuel cycle. The surveillance requirements for measurement of the MTC during each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm the MTC value since this coe'fficient changes s'lowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. The confirmation that the measured MTC value is within its limit provides assurances that the coef-ficient will be maintained within acceptable values throughout each fuel cycle.
ST. LUCIE    -  UNIT 2                  B  3/4 1-1
 
REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4. 1. 1. 5    MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 515 F. This limitation is required to ensure (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is
.within its analyzed temperature range, (2) the protective 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 pressure 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 pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid makeup pumps, (5) associated heat tracing systems, and (6) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.
With the RCS average temperature above 2004F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed fai lure renders one of the systems inoperable. Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period.
      . The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions o~.OX delta k/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at EOL from full power equi librium xenon conditions and requires boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in the allowable concentrations and volumes of Specification 3. 1. 2. 8 or 72,000 gallons of 1720 ppm - 2100 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank.
1ttith the    RCS temperature below 200'F one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.
The boron capability required below 200 F is based upon providing a %o delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140'F.
This condition requires either 4,150 gallons of 1720 ppm - 2100 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank or boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in accordance with the requirements of Specification 3. 1. 2. 7.
The contained water volume limits includes allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.
The OPERABILITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.
The '1imits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWT also ensure a pH value of between 7.0 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical        systems and components.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES       (Continued Overpower margin      is provided to protect the core in the event of        a  large misalignment      () 15 inches) of a CEA. However, this misalignment would cause distortion of the core power distribution. This distribution may, in tur n,
          . have a significant effect on (1) the available SHUTDOWN MARGIN, (2) the time-dependent long-term power distributions relative to those used in generating LCOs and LSSS      setpoints, and (3) the ejected CEA worth, used in the safety analysis.      Therefore, the ACTION statement associated with the large misalignment of a CEA requires a prompt realignment of the misaligned CEA.
The ACTION    statements applicable to misaligned or inoperable CEAs include requirements to align the OPERABLE CEAs in a given group with the inoperable CEA. Conformance with these alignment requirements bring the core, within a short period of time, to a configuration consistent with that assumed in generating LCO and LSSS setpoints.              However, extended operation with'CEAs significantly inserted in the core may lead to per turhations in (1) local burnup, (2) peaking factors, and (3) available shutdown margin which are more adverse than the conditions assumed to exist in the safety analyses and LCO                ~
and LSSS setpoints determination.              Therefore, time limits have been imposed on operation with inoperable CEAs to preclude such adverse conditions from developing.
The  requirement to reduce power in certain time limits depending upon the previous F is to eliminate a potential nonconservatism for situations when a CEA has be5n declared inoperable.              A worst-case analysis has shown that a DNBR SAFDL  violation    may  occur  during    th'e  second hour after the CEA misalignment      if this requirement is not met.

                                                  . caused by xenon    redistribution.

POWER  DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES assumptions used in establishing the Linear Heat Rate, Thermal Margin/Low Pressure and Local Power Density - High LCOs and LSSS setpoints remain valid.
An AZIMUTHAL POWER      TILT > 0.10 is not expected and            if it should occur, subsequent    operation would be restricted to only those operations required to identify the cause of this unexpected                tilt.
The requirement    that the      measured      value of Tq be mutiplied by the calculated values of F r and 'xy to determine F r and F is applicable on y F,
when F and F        are calculated with a non-full core power distribution analysis Xy                              P code. When monitoring a reactor core power distribution, F or Fx with a full xy core power distribution analysis code the azimuthal                  tilt accounted for as part of the radial power distribution used to calculate is explicitly Fx  and Fr.
The Surveillance Requirements for verifying that T F T and T are  F, within their limits provide. assurance that the actual values of Fx,                xy' Fr and T do  not exceed the assumed values,                Verifying  F  and  F  after each fueel loading prior to exceeding 75K of RATED THERMAL                  POWER  provides additional assurance  that the core was proper ly loaded.
3/4. 2. 5  DNB PARAMETERS The limits on, the DNB-related parameters assure that each of the parameters    are maintained within the normal steady-state envelope of operation assumed in the transient and safety analyses.                  The limits are consistent with the safety analyses assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain                                        throughout each analyzed transient.

ice The 12-hour periodic surveillance of these parameters through instrument readout is sufficient to ensure that the parameters are restored within their limits following }oad changes and other expected transient operation. The 18-month periodic measurement of the RCS total flow rate is adequate to detect flow degradation and ensure correlation of the flow indication channels with measured flow such that the indicated percent flow will provide sufficient verification of flow rate          on a 12-hour        basis.

2. 1 SAFETY LIMITS BASES 2.1.1 REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this safety limit prevent overheating of the fuel cladding and possible cladding perfoJ ation which would result in the release of fission products to the reactor coolant. Over heating, of the fuel is prevented by maintaining the steady-state peak linear heat rate below the level at which centerline fuel melting will occur. Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the heat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.

Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer coefficient. DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pressure have been related to DNB through the CE-1 correlation. The CE-1 DNB correlation has been developed to predict the DNB heat flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux distributions. .The local DNB heat flux ratio, DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is indicative of the margin to DNB. a,n acct kcbte l'g~,'.

The minimum value of the DNBR during steady state operation, normal operational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to

.value corresponds to a 95K probability at a 95K confidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all operating This conditions.

The curves of Figure 2. 1-1 show the loci of points of THERMAL POWER, Reactor Coolant System pressure and maximum cold leg temperature with four

[ g reactor Coolant Pumps operating for which the minimum DNBR is no less than radial peaks shown in for the family of axial shapes and corresponding

, Figure 2. 1-1. The limits in Figure 2.1-1'ere calculated for reactor y coolant B inlet temperatures less than or equal to 580'F. The dashed line at 580 F coolant inlet temperature is not a safety limit; however, operation above 580 F is not possible because of the actuation of the main steam line safety valves which limit the maximum value of reactor inlet temperature.

Reactor oper ation at THERMAL POWER levels higher than 112K of RATED THERMAL POWER is 'prohibited by the high power level trip setpoint specified in Table 2.2-1.

The area of safe operation is below and to the left of these lines.

The conditions for the Thermal Margin Safety Limit curves in Figure 2.1-1 to be valid are shown on the figure.

The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure and Local Power Density Trip Systems, in conjunction with Limiting Conditions for Operation, the Variable Overpower Trip and the Power Dependent Insertion- Limits, assure that the Specified Acceptable Fuel Design Limits on DNB and Fuel Centerline Melt are not exceeded during normal operation and design basis Anticipated Operation Occurrences.

SAFETY LIMITS AND LIMITING SAFETY SYSTEM SETTINGS BASES Variable Power Level-Hi h A Reactor trip on Variable Overpower is provided to protect the. reactor core during rapid positive reactivity addition excursions which are too rapid to be protected by a Pressurizer Pressure-High or Thermal'Margin/Low Pressure Trip.

The Variable Power Level High trip setpoint is operator adjustable and can be set no higher than 9.62K above the indicated THERMAL POWER level.

Operator action is required to increase the trip setpoint as THERMAL POWER The trip setpoint is automatically decreased as THERMAL POWER is'ncreased.

decreases. The trip setpoint has a maximum value of 107.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER and a minimum setpoint of 15.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER. Adding to this maximum value the possible variation in trip point due to calibration and instrument errors, the maximum actual steady-state THERMAL POWER level at which a trip would be actuated is 112K of RATED THERMAL POWER, which is the value used in the safety analyses.

Pressurizer Pressure-Hi h The Pressurizer Pressure-High trip, in conjunction with the pressurizer safety valves and main steam safety valves, provides Reactor Coolant System protection against overpressurization in the event of loss of load without reactor trip. This trip's setpoint is at less than or equal to 2375 psia which is below the nominal lift setting 2500 psia of the pressurizer safety valves and its operation minimizes the undesirable operation of the pressurizer safety valves.

Thermal Mar in/Low Pressure The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip is provided to prevent operatign when the DNBR is less than&28i %he. ~ccrp4.4lc w<<i~~~ bMB< /i'~i'F'.

The trip is initiated whenever the Reactor Coolant System pressure signal drops below either 1900 psia or' computed value as described below, whichever is higher. The computed value is a function of the higher of bT power or neutron power, reactor inlet temperature, the number of reactor coolant pumps operating and the AXIAL SHAPE INDEX. The minimum value of reactor coolant flow rate, the maximum AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT and the maximum CEA deviation permitted for continuous operation are assumed in the generation of this trip function. In addition, CEA group sequencing in accordance with Specifica-tions 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6 is assumed. Finally, the maximum insertion of CEA banks which can occur during any anticipated operational occurrence prior to a Power Level-High trip is assumed.

The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure trip setpoints are derived from the core safety limits through application of appropriate allowances for equipment response time measurement uncertainties and processing error. A safety margin is provided which includes: an allowance of 2.0X of RATED THERMAL POWER to compensate for potential power measurement error; an allowance of 3.04F to compensate for potential temperature measurement uncertainty; and a further allowance of 91.0 psia to compensate for pressure measurement error and time delay associated with providing effective termination of the occurrence that exhibits the most rapid decrease in margin to the safety limit. The 91.0 psia al.lowance is made up of a 25.0 psia pressure measurement allowance and a 66.0 psia time delay allowance.

3/4. 1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4. 1 . 1 BORAT ION CONTROL 3/4.1.1.1 and 3/4.1.1.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions, 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and 3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.

SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS T . The most restrictive occurs at EOL, with T at no load operating temperature, and .is avg'ondition avg associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncon-trolled RCS coo'adown. In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 5.0X delta k/k is required to control the reactivity transient.

Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions. At earlier times in core life, the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN required for the most restric" tive conditions is less than 5. OX hk/k. With Tavg less than or equal to 2004F, the reactivity transients resulting from any postulated accident are minimal and a g4 delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN provides adequate protection.

3/4. 1. 1. 3 BORON DILUTION A minimum flow rate of at least 3000 gpm provides adequate mixing, prevents stratification and ensures that reactivity changes will be gradual during boron concentration reductions in the Reactor Coolant System. A flow rate of at least 3000 gpm will circulate an equivalent Reactor Coolant System volume of 10,931 cubic feet in approximately 26 minutes. The reactivity change rate associated with boron concentration reductions will therefore be within the capability of operator recognition and control.

3/4. 1. 1.4 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT The limitations on moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) are provided to ensure that the assumptions used in the accident and transient analysis remain valid through each fuel cycle. The surveillance requirements for measurement of the MTC during each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm the MTC value since this coe'fficient changes s'lowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. The confirmation that the measured MTC value is within its limit provides assurances that the coef-ficient will be maintained within acceptable values throughout each fuel cycle.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES 3/4. 1. 1. 5 MINIMUM TEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 515 F. This limitation is required to ensure (1) the moderator temperature coefficient is

.within its analyzed temperature range, (2) the protective 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 pressure 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 pumps, (3) separate flow paths, (4) boric acid makeup pumps, (5) associated heat tracing systems, and (6) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.

With the RCS average temperature above 2004F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed fai lure renders one of the systems inoperable. Allowable out-of-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period.

. The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions o~.OX delta k/k after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at EOL from full power equi librium xenon conditions and requires boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in the allowable concentrations and volumes of Specification 3. 1. 2. 8 or 72,000 gallons of 1720 ppm - 2100 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank.

1ttith the RCS temperature below 200'F one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable.

The boron capability required below 200 F is based upon providing a %o delta k/k SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140'F.

This condition requires either 4,150 gallons of 1720 ppm - 2100 ppm borated water from the refueling water tank or boric acid solution from the boric acid makeup tanks in accordance with the requirements of Specification 3. 1. 2. 7.

The contained water volume limits includes allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.

The OPERABILITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.

The '1imits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWT also ensure a pH value of between 7.0 and 11.0 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.

REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES (Continued Overpower margin is provided to protect the core in the event of a large misalignment () 15 inches) of a CEA. However, this misalignment would cause distortion of the core power distribution. This distribution may, in tur n,

. have a significant effect on (1) the available SHUTDOWN MARGIN, (2) the time-dependent long-term power distributions relative to those used in generating LCOs and LSSS setpoints, and (3) the ejected CEA worth, used in the safety analysis. Therefore, the ACTION statement associated with the large misalignment of a CEA requires a prompt realignment of the misaligned CEA.

The ACTION statements applicable to misaligned or inoperable CEAs include requirements to align the OPERABLE CEAs in a given group with the inoperable CEA. Conformance with these alignment requirements bring the core, within a short period of time, to a configuration consistent with that assumed in generating LCO and LSSS setpoints. However, extended operation with'CEAs significantly inserted in the core may lead to per turhations in (1) local burnup, (2) peaking factors, and (3) available shutdown margin which are more adverse than the conditions assumed to exist in the safety analyses and LCO ~

and LSSS setpoints determination. Therefore, time limits have been imposed on operation with inoperable CEAs to preclude such adverse conditions from developing.

The requirement to reduce power in certain time limits depending upon the previous F is to eliminate a potential nonconservatism for situations when a CEA has be5n declared inoperable. A worst-case analysis has shown that a DNBR SAFDL violation may occur during th'e second hour after the CEA misalignment if this requirement is not met.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES assumptions used in establishing the Linear Heat Rate, Thermal Margin/Low Pressure and Local Power Density - High LCOs and LSSS setpoints remain valid.

An AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT > 0.10 is not expected and if it should occur, subsequent operation would be restricted to only those operations required to identify the cause of this unexpected tilt.

The requirement that the measured value of Tq be mutiplied by the calculated values of F r and 'xy to determine F r and F is applicable on y F,

when F and F are calculated with a non-full core power distribution analysis Xy P code. When monitoring a reactor core power distribution, F or Fx with a full xy core power distribution analysis code the azimuthal tilt accounted for as part of the radial power distribution used to calculate is explicitly Fx and Fr.

The Surveillance Requirements for verifying that T F T and T are F, within their limits provide. assurance that the actual values of Fx, xy' Fr and T do not exceed the assumed values, Verifying F and F after each fueel loading prior to exceeding 75K of RATED THERMAL POWER provides additional assurance that the core was proper ly loaded.

The 18-month periodic measurement of the RCS total flow rate is adequate to detect flow degradation and ensure correlation of the flow indication channels with measured flow such that the indicated percent flow will provide sufficient verification of flow rate on a 12-hour basis.
