POWERDISTRIBUTiONLIMITS BASES a.

abnormal perturbations in the radial power shape, such as from more directly than F,

rod misalighment, effect F H g

b.

although rod movement has a direct influence upon limiting Fq to within its limit, such control is not readily available to limit N

F3H, and c.

errors in prediction for control power shape detected during startup physics tests can be compensated for in Fq by restri-ting axial flux distributions. This compensation for F is H

less readily available.

The radial peaking factor, Fxy(Z), is measured periodically to provide additional assurance that the heat flux hot channel factor, q

xy(Z) limits were detennined from F (Z), remains within its limit. The F expected power control maneuvers over the full range of burnup conditions in the core.

Fuel rod bowing reduces the value of the DNB ratio and F Sufficient H.

credit.is available tr 7ffset this reduction.

This credit comes from generic design margins totaling 9.1%, 2% increased flow over the flow assumed in the safety analyses (as listed in Table 3.2-1) and 3% margin in the difference between the 1.3 DNBR safety limit and the minimum DNBR calculated for the Complete Loss of Flow event.

POWER DISTRIBUTION LIMITS BASES 3/4.2.4 QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO The quadrant power tilt ratio limit assures that the radial power distribution satisfies the design values used in the power capability analysis. Radial power distribution measurenents are made during startup testing and periodically during power operation.

-The limit of 1.02 at which corrective action is required provides DNB and linear heat generation rate protection with x-y plane power tilts. A limiting tilt of 1.025 can be tolerated before the margin for uncertainty in F is depleted. The limit of 1.02 was selected to provide an allowance n

for the uncertainty associated with the indicated power tilt.

The two hour time allowance for operation with a tilt condition greater than 1.02 but less than 1.09 is provided' to allow identification and cor-rection of a dropped or misaligned rod.

In the event such action does not correct the tilt, the margin for uncertainty on F is reinstated by reducing the power by 3 percent for each percent Of tilt in excess of 1.0.

3/4.2.5 DNB PARAMETERS The limits on the DNB related parameters assure that each of the parameters are maintained within the normal steady state envelope of operation assumed.in the transient and accident analyses. The limits are consistent with the initial FSAR assumptions and have been analytically demonstrated adequate to maintain a minimum DNBR of 1.30 throughout each analyzed transient.

In Table 3.2-1, for 4 loop operation, credit is being taken for the actual reactor coolant flow rate being 102 percent of the design value.

From Trojan tests, a primary system flow calorimetric calculation indicated a flow rate of 7 percent in excess of design.

Similarly, the pump-power relationship demonstrated that the reactor coolant flow rate was 3.5 percent in excess of design. The large margin between these excess flow indications ~ and the 102 percent of desi n flow specified in Table 3.2-1 assures that the uncertainties in the cal-culation of the actual reactor coolant flow rate are accounted for.

l The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> periodic surveillance of these parameters thru instrument readout is sufficient to ensure that the parameters are restored within their limits following load changes and other expected transient operation.

The 18 month periodic measurement of the RCS total flow rate is adequate to detect flow degradation and ensure correlation of the flow indication channels with measured flow such that the indicated percent flow will provide sufficient verification of flow rate on a 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> basis.
