Abstract
In order that the fuel rods, reactor vessel, pipes, and other devices do not lose their normal functions or performance during reactor operation, limit values are applied to several features including heat generation, cooling, temperature, flow, etc. Thermal limits are divided into two groups, design limit values which are considered at the design phase and operation limit values which are applied during the operation.
