The confirmation that the measured and appropriately compensated MTC value is within the allowable tolerance of the predicted value provides additional assurances that the coefficient will be maintained within its limits during intervals between measurement. 3/4.1.1.5 MINIMUMTEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 541'F. This limitation is required to ensure 1) the moderator temperature coefficient is within its analyzed temperature range, 2) the protective instrumentation is within its normal operating range, and 3) the pressurizer is capable of being in an OPERABLE status with a steam bubble, and 4) the reactor pressure vessel is above its minimum RTnr temperature. Administrative procedures will be established to ensure the P-12 blocked functions are unblocked before taking the reactor critical. 3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include 1) borated water sources, 2) charging pumps,

3) separate flow paths, 4) boric acid transfer pumps, and 5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators.

With the RCS average temperature above 200'F, a minimum of two separate and redundant boron injection systems are provided to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the systems inoperable. Allowable outwf-service periods ensure that minor component repair or corrective action may be completed without undue risk to overall facility safety from injection system failures during the repair period. The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps and safety injection pumps except the required OPERABLE charging pump, to be inoperable below 152'F, unless the reactor vessel head is removed, provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single PORV. The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide the required SHUTDOWN MARGIN from all operating conditions after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum expected boration capability, usable volume requirement, is 8500 gallons of 6550 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks for providing required SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown to 547'F and additional borated water from a second boric acid tank, or batching tank, or refueling water storage tank for further cooldown to 200'F. With the refueling water storage tank as the only source, based on conservative calculations, a maximum of 99598 gallons of 2400 ppm borated water is required. The minimum contained RWST volume is based on ECCS considerations. See Section B 3/4.5.5. COOK NUCLEAR PLANT-UNIT 1 Page B 3/4 1-2 I I! II f 3/4 BASES 3/4.1 REACTIVITYCONTROL SYSTEMS 3/4.1.2 BORATION SYSTEMS Continued With the RCS average temperature above 200'F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable. The boration capability required below 200'F is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN of 1% 6 k/k after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140'F. This condition requires either 900 gallons of 6,550 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 3265 gallons of 2400 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank. The boric acid storage tank boration source volume of Technical Specification 3.1.2.7 has been conservatively increased to 5,000 gallons. The charging flowpath of Unit 1 required for Unit 2 shutdown support ensures that flow is available to Unit 2 and addresses the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix R. The flowpath consists of a charging pump powered from an electrical bus and associated water supplies and delivery system. Fire watches posted in the affected opposite unit areas (i.e., Unit 2 areas requiring use of the Unit 1 charging system in the event of a fire) may serve as the equivalent shutdown capability specified in the action statements of Specification 3.1.2.3. In the affected areas, either establish continuous fire watches or verify the OPERABILITY of fire detectors per Specification 4.3.3.7 and establish hourly fire watch patrols. The required opposite unit equipment along with the surveillance requirements necessary to ensure that this equipment is capable of fulfillingits intended Appendix R alternate safe shutdown function have been established and are included in a plant procedure. An additional plant procedure details how the above noted fire watches will be implemented. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.6 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components. The OPERABILITY of boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6. 3/4.1.3 MOVABLECONTROL ASSEMBLIES The specifications of this section ensure that (1) acceptable power distribution limits are maintained, (2) the minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN is maintained, and (3) the potential effects of rod ejection accident are COOK NUCLEAR PLANT-UNIT 1 Page B 3/4 1-3 3/4 LIMITINGCONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3/4.1 REACTIVITYCONTROL SYSTEMS 3/4.1.1 BORATION CONTROL SHUTDOWN MARGIN T v GREATER THAN 200 F LIMITINGCONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.1.1.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to 1.6% Delta k/k.

The surveillance requirements for measurement of the MTC at the beginning and near the end of each fuel cycle are adequate to confirm that the MTC remains within its limits since this coefficient changes slowly due principally to the reduction in RCS boron concentration associated with fuel burnup. 3/4.1.1.5 MINIMUMTEMPERATURE FOR CRITICALITY This specification ensures that the reactor will not be made critical with the Reactor Coolant System average temperature less than 541'F.

The limitation for maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps and safety injection pumps, except the required OPERABLE charging. pump, to be inoperable below 152'F, unless the reactor vessel head is removed, provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single PORV. The boration capability of either system is sufficient to provide the required SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions after xenon decay and cooldown to 200'F. The maximum expected boration capability, usable volume requirement, is 8500 gallons of 6550 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks for providing required SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown to 547'F and additional borated water from a second boric acid tank, or batching tank, or refueling water storage tank for further cooldown to 200'F. With the refueling water storage tank as the only source, based on conservative calculations, a maximum of 69215 gallons of 2400 ppm borated water is required. The minimum RWST boron concentration required by the post-LOCA long-term cooling analysis is 2400 ppm. The minimum contained RWST volume is based on ECCS considerations. See Section B 3/4.5.5. With the RCS average temperature below 200'F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity change in the event the single injection system becomes inoperable. The boron capability required below 200'F is sufficient to provide the required MODE 5 SHUTDOWN MARGIN after xenon decay and cooldown from 200'F to 140'F. This condition requires usable volumes of either 900 gallons of 6,550 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 3265 gallons of borated water from the refueling water storage tank. The boration source volumes of Technical Specification 3.1.2.7 have been conservatively increased to 5,000 gallons from the boric acid storage tanks and 90,000 gallons from the refueling water storage tank. The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.6 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA. This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components. The OPERABILITY of boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.
