4) 3.1.1.2 Shutdown Margin Limit for MODE 5
5) 3.1.1.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient
6) 3.1.2.7 Minimum Boron Concentration for MODES 4, 5, 6
7) 3.1.3.5 Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit
8) 3.1.3.6 Control Rod Insertion Limits
9) 3.2.1 Axial Flux Difference
10) 3.2.2 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor
11) 3.2.3 Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor
12) 3.2.5 DNB Parameters
13) 3.5.1.1 Boron Concentration Limits for MODES 1, 2, 3
14) 3.5.4 Boron Concentration Limits for MODES 1, 2, 3, 4
15) 3.9.1 Boron Concentration Limits for MODE 6 2.0 Operating Limits The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in Section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies specified in Technical Specification 6.8.1.6.

2.1 Limiting Safety System Settings: (Specification 2.2.1) 2.1.1 Cycle Dependent Overtemperature AT Trip Setpoint Parameters and Function Modifier:

2.1.1.1 K1

= 1.210 2.1.1.2 K2

=0.021/OF 2.1.1.3 K3 =0.0011/psig T

=

Measured RCS Tavg (OF), and T'

=

Indicated RCS Tavg at RATED THERMAL POWER (Calibration temperature for AT instrumentation, < 589.1 OF).

P1

= Nominal RCS operating pressure, 2235 psig 6-1.1 SSTR Rev. 101

2.1.1.4 Channel Total Allowance (TA) = N.A.

2.1.1.5 Channel Z = N.A.

It is recognized that exactly equal values cannot always be dialed into the numerator and denominator in the protection system hardware, even if the nominal values are the same (10 seconds). Thus given the inequality sign in the COLR (greater than or equal to) the intent of the definition of this time constant applies primarily to the rate time constant (i.e. the Tau value in the numerator). The lag time constant (denominator Tau value) may be less than 10 seconds or less than the value of the numerator Tau value (e.g., if the numerator is set at 10.5, the denominator may be set to 10 or 9.5) and still satisfy the intent of the anticipatory protective feature.
