a) When the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is OPERABLE, W(Z) = 1.00000 for all axial points.
b) When PDMS is inoperable, W(Z) is provided as:
- 1) Table 2.6.2.a are the normal operation W(Z) values for the full cycle and correspond to the AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) Acceptable Operation Limits provided in Figure 2.8.1.a. The normal operation W(Z) values have been determined at burnups of 150, 5000, 14000, and 20000 MWD/MTU.
- 2) The EOL-only normal operation W(Z) values provided in Table 2.6.2.b may be used for cycle burnups;;::: 18000 MWD/MTU. The EOL-only W(Z) values correspond to the REDUCED AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) Acceptable Operation Limits provided in Figure 2.8.1.b. The EOL-only normal operation W(Z) values have been determined at burnups of 18000 and 20000 MWD/MTU and the last column of W(Z) values is a duplicate of the 20000 MWD/MTU values. If invoked, the EOL-only W(Z) values are to be used for the remainder of the cycle unless superseded by a subsequent analysis.
Table 2.6.2.c shows the Fe0 (z) penalty factors that are greater than 2% per 31 Effective Full Power Days (EFPD). These values shall be used to increase the Fw0 (z) as per Surveillance Requirement 3.2.1.2. A 2% penalty factor shall be used at all cycle burnups that are outside the range of Table 2.6.2.c.
2.6.3 Uncertainty
The uncertainty, UFa. to be applied to the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor F0 (Z) shall be calculated by the following formula UFQ = uqu *U.
where:
Uqu = Base Fa measurement uncertainty= 1.05 when PDMS is inoperable (Uqu is defined by PDMS when OPERABLE.)
Ue = Engineering uncertainty factor= 1.03 2.6.4 PDMS Alarms:
