V. C. Summer Cycle 25 OCTOBER 2018 2.0 Operating Limits 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 6.9.1.11.
2.1 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (Specification 3.1.1.3):
2.1.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits are:
The BOL/ARO-MTC shall be less positive than the limits shown in Figure 1.
The EOL/ARO/RTP-MTC shall be less negative than -4.8x10"4 Ak/k/°F (-48 pcm/°F).

2.5.4 Elevation dependent W(z) values for Alternate RAOC operation at 150, 3000, 5000, 8000, 10000, 14000 and 20000 MWD/MTU are shown in Tables 4 through 5, respectively. This information is sufficient to determine W(z) versus core height in the range of 0 MWD/MTU to EOL bumup through the use of three point interpolation. Table 6 shows FQ margin decreases for RAOC operation that are greater than 2% per 31 Effective Full Power Days (EFPD). These values shall be used to increase FQM(Z) as per Surveillance Requirement 4.2.2.2.e. A 2% penalty factor shall be used at all burnups that are outside the range of Table 6.
2.5.5 Elevation dependent W(Z)BL values for Baseload operation between 75 and 100% of rated thermal power with the Section 2.4.2 specified target band about a measured target value at 150, 3000, 5000, 8000, 10000, 14000 and 20000 MWD/MTU are shown in Tables 7 through 8, respectively. This information is sufficient to determine W(z)BL versus core height for burnups in the range of 0 MWD/MTU to EOL burnup through the use of three point interpolation. Table 9 shows FQ margin decreases for base load operation that are greater than 2% per 31 Effective Full Power Days (EFPD). These values shall be used to increase FQM(Z) as per Surveillance Requirement 4.2.2.4.e. A 2% penalty factor shall be used at all burnups that are outside the range of Table 9.

V. C. Summer Cycle 25 OCTOBER 2018 2.7 Power Distribution Measurement Uncertainty (Specifications 3.2.2 and 3.2.3):
If the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is OPERABLE, as defined in Technical Specification 3.3.3.11, the uncertainty, UFAH, to be applied to the Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor FNah shall be calculated by the following formula:
U =1.0+ Uah rAH 100.0 where: UAH = Uncertainty for enthalpy rise as defined in equation (5-19) in Reference 1 or 4.0, whichever is larger.
If the Power Distribution Monitoring System is OPERABLE, as defined in Technical Specification 3.3.3.11, the uncertainty, UFQ, to be applied to the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor FQ(Z) shall be calculated by the following formula:
u, UFQ 1.0 + u 100.0 where: UQ = Uncertainty for FQ(Z) = 5.0 when confirming FQ(Z) for RAOC or Base Load operation, or as defined in equation (5-19) in Reference 1 for all other purposes.
Ue = Engineering uncertainty factor.
= 1.03 If the Power Distribution Monitoring System is INOPERABLE, as defined in Technical Specification 3.3.3.11, the uncertainty, UFAH, to be applied to the Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor FNAH shall be calculated by the following formula:
UFAH = UFAHm 5 Revision 0
V. C. Summer Cycle 25 OCTOBER 2018 where: U FAHM = Base FAH measurement uncertainty.
= 1.04 If the Power Distribution Monitoring System is INOPERABLE, as defined in Technical Specification 3.3.3.11, the uncertainty, UFQ, to be applied to the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor FQ(Z) shall be calculated by the following formula:
uFQ = u,n-ue where: UQU = Base FQ measurement uncertainty.
= 1.05 Ue = Engineering uncertainty factor.
