MODE 2 PHYSICS TESTS 1 %k/k                              3.1.9 Exceptions
* The required Shutdown Margin capability of 1 %k/k in MODE 1 and MODE 2 is preserved by the Regulating Rod Insertion Limits specified in Figures 2a through 2d as required by Technical Specification 3.2.1.
** Entry into Mode 1 Physics Tests Exceptions is not supported by existing analyses. For example, Regulating Rod Shutdown Margin Insertion Limits assumptions may not be met and as such requires actual shutdown margin to be  1 %k/k via alternate verification or calculation.
***For the period from 0 to 300 EFPD and for power levels 60 %FP and above, rod insertion limits are established that reserve an additional 0.5 %k/k required rod worth to accommodate the implementation of an update to the SBLOCA model.

The 3 pump example curve shows allowable values for an approximately 25% flow reduction for three pump operation (283,860 gpm). The actual setpoint will be calculated by the Reactor Protection System and will be directly proportional to the actual reactor coolant system flow with three pumps.
These limits are based on Cycle 9 and are conservative relative to the actual Cycle 21 limits.

    • Entry into Mode 1 Physics Tests Exceptions is not supported by existing analyses. For example, Regulating Rod Shutdown Margin Insertion Limits assumptions may not be met and as such requires actual shutdown margin to be 1 %k/k via alternate verification or calculation.
      • For the period from 0 to 300 EFPD and for power levels 60 %FP and above, rod insertion limits are established that reserve an additional 0.5 %k/k required rod worth to accommodate the implementation of an update to the SBLOCA model.

The 3 pump example curve shows allowable values for an approximately 25% flow reduction for three pump operation (283,860 gpm). The actual setpoint will be calculated by the Reactor Protection System and will be directly proportional to the actual reactor coolant system flow with three pumps.

These limits are based on Cycle 9 and are conservative relative to the actual Cycle 21 limits.
