3.10.2.2.2 3.2.1 RA-A.2 III L.2 Relaxes requirement for performing a flux map after a determination that hot channel factors were exceeded so performing a flux map is required only as a prerequisite before increasing thermal power above the limit imposed when hot channel factors were exceeded.

3.10.3.1.a 3.2.4 RA-A.1 V
L.2 Eliminates requirement to reduce power < 50% RTP if QPTR exceeds 1.09 because the requirement for power reduction of 3% RTP for each 1% by which the QPTR exceeds 1.00 provides a very high degree of assurance that the quadrant power tilt is not causing any area of the core to exceed a thermal limit.
