2.1.1 REACTOR CORE The restrictions of this Safety Limit prevent overheating of the fuel and possible cladding perforation which would result in the release of fission ,
products to the reactor coolant. Overheating of the fuel cladding is prevented by restricting fuel operation to within the nucleate boiling regime where the hrat transfer coefficient is large and the cladding surface temperature is ,
slightly above the coolant saturation temperature.
Operation above the upper boundary of the nucleate boiling regime could result in excessive cladding temperatures because of the onset of departure from nucleate boiling (DNB) and the resultant sharp reduction in heat transfer 4
coefficient. DNB is not a directly measurable parameter during operation and therefore THERMAL POWER and Reactor Coolant Temperature and Pressure have been related to DNB through the W-3 correlation. The W-3 DNB correlation has been d:Eveloped to predict the DNB flux and the location of DNB for axially uniform and non-uniform heat flux distributions. The local DNB heat flux ratio, DNBR, defined as the ratio of the heat flux that would cause DNB at a particular core location to the local heat flux, is, indicative of the margin to DNB.
The minimum value of the DNBR during steady state operation, normal
. cperational transients, and anticipated transients is limited to 1.30. This '
I value corresponds to a 95 percent probability at a 95 percent confidence level that DNB will not occur and is chosen as an appropriate margin to DNB for all operating conditions.
The curves of Figures 2.1-1 and 2.1-2 show the loci of points of THERMAL POWER, Reactor Coolant System pressure and average tempe,rature for which the sinimum DNBR is no less than 1.30, or the average enthalpy at the vessel exit is
