i 3 4. 2 POWER DISTRI ION 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 criteria. 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:
F,(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; F~ 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; F~ 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.
Target flux difference (target AFD) is determined at equilibrium xenon conditions. 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 measurement of the target flux difference value is necessary to reflect core burnup considerations. The target AFD may be updated between measurements based on the change in the predicted value with burnup.

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 outside the acceptable AFD target band.
These alarms are active when power is greater than 50% of RATED THERHAL POWER.

POWER DISTRIBUTION ITS BASES'EAT 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~ will be maintained within its limits provided Conditions a. through d.
above are maintained. The combination of the RCS flow requirement'nd the measurement of F<< ensures that the calculated DNBR will not be below the design DNBR value. The relaxation of F~ 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, an allowance for measurement error must be applied prior to comparing to the F~R~ limit(s) specified in the CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR). An allowance of 4% 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. The 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 5% is appropriate for a full-core map taken with the Incore Detector Flux Mapping System, and a 3%
allowance is appropriate for manufacturing tolerance.
The hot channel factor F,"(Z) is measured periodically and increased by a cycle and height dependent power factor V(Z) to provide assurance that the limit on the hot channel factor,= F,(Z), is met. V(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. The V(Z) function is specified in the COLR.
