2.3 SHUTDOWN MARGIN (Specification 3.1.1.1):

The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be :

2.3.1 Greater than 1.3% L'.1p for MODES 1 and 2*

• See Special Test Exception 3.10.1 2.3.2 Greater than the limits in Figure 2 for MODES 3 and 4.

2.3.3 Greater than the limits in Figure 3 for MODE 5.

2.4 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT (Specification 3.1.1.3):

2.4.1 The BOL, ARO, MTC shall be less positive than the limits shown in Figure 4.

2.4.2 The EOL, ARO, HFP, MTC shall be less negative than-62.6 pcm/°F.

2.4.3 The 300 ppm, ARO, HFP, MTC shall be less negative than-53.6 pcm/°F (300 ppm Surveillance Limit).

Where : BOL stands for Beginning-of-Cycle Life,

EOL stands for End-of-Cycle Life,

ARO stands for All Rods Out,

HFP stands for Hot Full Power (100% RATED THERMAL POWER),

HFP vessel average temperature is 592 °F.

2.4.4 The Revised Predicted near-EOL 300 ppm MTC shall be calculated using the algorithm from the document referenced by Technical Specification 6.9.1.6.b.10 :

Revised Predicted MTC = Predicted MTC + AFD Correction - 3 pcm/°F

If the Revised Predicted MTC is less negative than the COLR Section 2.4.3 limit and all of the benchmark data contained in the surveillance procedure are met, then an MTC measurement in accordance with S.R. 4.1.1.3b is not required.

2.5 ROD INSERTION LIMITS (Specification 3.1.3.5 and 3.1.3.6):

2.5.1 All banks shall have the same Full Out Position (FOP) of either 257 or 259 steps withdrawn.

2.6 AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (Specification 3.2.1):

2.6.1 AFD limits as required by Technical Specification 3.2.1 are determined by Constant Axial Offset Control (CAOC) Operations with an AFD target band of +5, -10%.

2.6.2 The AFD shall be maintained within the ACCEPTABLE OPERATION portion of Figure 6, as required by Technical Specifications.

2.7 HEAT FLUX HOT CHANNEL FACTOR (Specification 3.2.2):

2.7.1 F~TP = 2.55.

2.7.2 K(Z) is provided in Figure 7.

2.7.3 The Fxy limits for RATED THERMAL POWER (F~J P) within specific core planes shall be :

2.7.3.1 Less than or equal to 2.102 for all cycle bumups for all core planes containing Bank "D" control rods, and 2.7.3.2 Less than or equal to the appropriate core height-dependent value from Table 1 for all unrodded core planes.

2.7.3.3 PF xy = 0.2.

These F xy limits were used to confirm that the heat flux hot channel factor FQ(Z) will be limited by Technical Specification 3.2.2 assuming the most-limiting axial power distributions expected to result for the insertion and removal of Control Banks C and D during operation, including the accompanying variations in the axial xenon and power distributions, as described in WCAP-8385. Therefore, these Fxy limits provide assurance that the initial conditions assumed in the LOCA analysis are met, along with the ECCS acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.46.

2.7.4 The Fxy limits from Section 2.7.3 above are not applicable in the following core plane regions :

2.7.4.1 Upper and lower core plane regions as presented in Table 2, and 2.7.4.2 Grid plane regions as presented in Table 2, and 2.7.4.3 Core plane regions within+/- 2% of core height(+/- 3.36 inches) about the bank demand position of the bank " D " control rods.

2.7.5 Core Power Distribution Measurement Uncertainty for the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor 2.7.5.1 If the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is operable, as defined in the Technical Requirements Manual Section 3.3.3.12, the core power distribution measurement uncertainty (UFQ) to be applied to the FQ(Z) and Fxy (Z) using the PDMS shall be calculated by :

UFQ = (1.0 + (UQ/lO0))*UE Where :

.,.. Unit 2 Cycle 23 Nuclear Operat ing Company Core Operating Limits Report Rev. 0

... ~ U2C23-0 Page 6 of 17

UQ = Uncertainty for power peaking factor as defined in Equation 5-19 from the document referenced by Technical Specification 6.9.1.6.b.11 V E = Engineering uncertainty factor of 1.03.

This uncertainty is calculated and applied automatically by the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS).

2.7.5.2 If the moveable detector system is used, the core power distribution measurement uncertainty (UFQ) to be applied to the FQ(Z) and Fxy (Z) shall be calculated by :

UFQ=UQu*UE Where :

UQu = Base FQ measurement uncertainty of 1.05.

V E = Engineering uncertainty factor of 1.03.

2.8 ENTHALPY RISE HOT CHANNEL FACTOR (Specification 3.2.3):

2.8.1 FfJP = 1.62 2.8.2 PF t,H = 0.3 2.8.3 Core Power Distribution Measurement Uncertainty for the Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor 2.8.3.1 If the Power Distribution Monitoring System (PDMS) is operable, as defined in the Technical Requirements Manual Section 3.3.3.12, the core power distribution measurement uncertainty (UMH) to be applied to the F~H using the PDMS shall be the greater of:

UFMI = 1.04 OR UFMI = 1.0 + (Um/100)

Where :

u,,,H = Uncertainty for power peaking factor as defined in Equation 5-19 from the document referenced in Technical Specification 6.9.1.6.b.11.

This uncertainty is calculated and applied automatically by the Power Distribution Monitoring System.

2.8.3.2 If the moveable detector system is used, the core power distribution measurement uncertainty (UMH) shall be :

UFm= 1.04

A discussion of the processes to be used to take these readings is provided in the basis for Technical Specification 3.2.5.

2 Includes a 1.9 °F measurement uncertainty per Reference 3.3, Page 3 7.

Limit not applicable during either a Thermal Power ramp in excess of 5% of RTP per minute or a Thermal Power step in excess of 10% RTP. Per Technical Specification 3.2.5 Bases, this includes a 10.7 psi measurement uncertainty as read on the QDPS display, which when added to the safety analysis limit of 2189 psig gives the COLR limit listed above.

The 10.7 psi uncertainty is bounded by the 9.6 psi averaged measurement calculated in Reference 3.4.

4 Includes the flow measurement uncertainty of2.8% from Reference 3.5.
