In some instances, the North Anna COLR lists multiple methodologies that are used to verify a single Technical Specification parameter. This is due to the transition from AREVA fuel to Westinghouse fuel which requires the use of different vendor proprietary methodologies to verify the two fuiel products meet the applicable regulatory limits.

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)

P N(Z))

for e>0.5 P

N(Z)

CFQ K(Z)

F0 (Z) -

for P0.5 Q0.5 N( Z)

THERMAL POWER where:

P = RATED THERMAL POWER ; and K(Z) is provided in COLR Figure 3.2-1 N(Z) is a cycle-specific non-equilibrium multiplier on FQ (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 CFQ limit. N(Z) accounts for power distribution transients encountered during normal operation. As function 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) function is presented in COLR Table 3.2-1.
