2.14.1    The Shutdown Margin Monitor (SMM) minimum count rate and Alarm Ratio Setting to meet LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) 3.3.5 shall be as shown below.
Tech. Spec. LCO          SMM Alarm Ratio Setting            Min. Count Rate (counts/sec) 3.3.5.a                        1.50                                1.0 1.25                                0.6 3.3.5.b.1                        1.50                                0.50 1.25                                0.35 3.3.5.b.2                        1.50                                0.35 1.25                                0.25 The combination of the SMM Alarm Ratio setting and minimum count rate accounts for the time lag between the indicated and actual count rates, as well as other uncertainties. The specified SMM Alarm Ratio setting ensures that the assumption that an alarm is generated at flux doubling in the Boron Dilution Event analysis remains valid. The count rate is displayed on the SMM.
2.15      Refueling Boron Concentration (Specification 3/4.9.1.1) 2.15.1    The boron concentration of all filled portions of the Reactor Coolant System and the refueling cavity shall be maintained at a boron concentration of greater than or equal to 2600 ppm.
Limit not applicable during either a THERMAL POWER ramp in excess of 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER per minute or a THERMAL POWER step in excess of 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER.
Section 2.14 was prepared by Dominion based on boron dilution analyses performed by Westinghouse.
This boron concentration bounds the condition of keff*< 0.95 (all rods in less the most reactive two rods) and subcriticality (keff< 1.0 with all rods out) during the Cycle 12/13 refueling outage.

2.14.1 The Shutdown Margin Monitor (SMM) minimum count rate and Alarm Ratio Setting to meet LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) 3.3.5 shall be as shown below.

Tech. Spec. LCO SMM Alarm Ratio Setting Min. Count Rate (counts/sec) 3.3.5.a 1.50 1.0 1.25 0.6 3.3.5.b.1 1.50 0.50 1.25 0.35 3.3.5.b.2 1.50 0.35 1.25 0.25 The combination of the SMM Alarm Ratio setting and minimum count rate accounts for the time lag between the indicated and actual count rates, as well as other uncertainties. The specified SMM Alarm Ratio setting ensures that the assumption that an alarm is generated at flux doubling in the Boron Dilution Event analysis remains valid. The count rate is displayed on the SMM.

2.15 Refueling Boron Concentration (Specification 3/4.9.1.1) 2.15.1 The boron concentration of all filled portions of the Reactor Coolant System and the refueling cavity shall be maintained at a boron concentration of greater than or equal to 2600 ppm.

Limit not applicable during either a THERMAL POWER ramp in excess of 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER per minute or a THERMAL POWER step in excess of 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER.

Section 2.14 was prepared by Dominion based on boron dilution analyses performed by Westinghouse.

This boron concentration bounds the condition of keff*< 0.95 (all rods in less the most reactive two rods) and subcriticality (keff< 1.0 with all rods out) during the Cycle 12/13 refueling outage.
