3/4.10.3 PHYSICS TESTS This special test exception permits PHYSICS TESTS to be performed at less than or equal to 5% of RATED THERMALPOWER and is required to verify the fundamental nuclear characteristics of the reactor core and related instrumentation.
3/4.10.4 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS This special test exception permits reactor criticality under no flow conditions and is required to perform certain startup and PHYSICS TESTS while at low THERMAL POWER levels.

rj 3/4 LIMITINGCONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3/4.10 SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS This Page Intentionally Blank COOK NUCLEAR PLANT-UNIT2 Page 3/4 10-5

3/4 BASES 3/4.10 SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS 3/4.10.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN This special test exception provides that a minimum amount of control rod worth is immediately available for reactivity control when tests are performed for control rod worth measurement. This special test exception is required to permit the periodic verification of the actual versus predicted core reactivity condition occurring as a result of fuel burnup or fuel cycling operations.

3/4.10.2 GROUP HEIGHT INSERTION AND POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS This special test exception permits individual control rods to be positioned. outside of their normal group heights and insertion limits during the performance of such PHYSICS TESTS as those required to 1) measure control rod worth and 2) determine the reactor stability index and damping factor under xenon oscillation conditions.

3/4.10.3 PHYSICS TESTS This special test exception permits PHYSICS TESTS to be performed at less than or equal to 5% of RATED THERMALPOWER and is required to verify the fundamental nuclear characteristics of the reactor core and related instrumentation.

3/4.10.4 REACTOR COOLANT LOOPS This special test exception permits reactor criticality under no flow conditions and is required to perform certain startup and PHYSICS TESTS while at low THERMAL POWER levels.
