Here is what Duke Energy (Oconee Nuclear Station, Catawba Nuclear Station, & McGuire Nuclear Station) uses:
A positive change in reactivity GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO:
· 0.05% ΔK/K (50 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 2 only) OR
· 0.35% ΔK/K (350 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 3, 4, 5, and 6 only) A negative change in reactivity GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 0.15% ΔK/K (150 pcm) beyond intended change or expected tolerance (Mode 2 only)

What values of "x" are plants using for example criteria 3.9 and 4.6 in the PWR Reactivity Management Performance Indicator PI?
