Serial No.10-662 Docket No. 50-338 3.2 POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS 3.2.1 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor (FQ(Z))

LCO 3.2.1 FQ(Z), as approximated by FQM(Z), shall be within the limits specified below.

CFQ = 2.32 The Measured Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor, FQM(Z), shall be limited by the following relationships:

CFQ K(Z)

F M(Z):::;---- for P>0.5 Q P N(Z)

CFQ K(Z)

FM(Z):::;---- for P:::;0.5 Q 0.5 N(Z)

THERMAL POWER where: P-  ; md

- RATED THERMAL POWER K(Z) is provided in COLR Figure 3.2-1, N(Z) is a cycle-specific non-equilibrium multiplier on FQM(Z) to account for power distribution transients during normal operation, provided in COLR Table 3.2-1.

The discussion in the Bases Section B 3.2.1 for this LCO requires the application of a cycle dependent non-equilibrium multiplier, N(Z), to the measured peaking fa ctor, FQM(Z), befor e comparing it to the limit. N(Z) accounts for power distribution transients encountered during normal operation. As fun ction N(Z) is dependent on the predicted equilibrium FQ(Z) and is sensitive to the axial power distribution, it is typically generated from the actual EOC burnup distribution that can only be obtained after the shutdown of the previous cycle. The cycle-specific N(Z) fun ction is presented in COLRTable 3.2-1.
