FFWTR and FHOOS assume the same value of temperature drop. Consequently, FHOOS limits are not provided for BOC to End of COAST due to redundancy. Thermal limits for the BOC to End of COAST exposure applicability window are developed to conservatively bound FHOOS limits for earlier exposure applicability windows.

FFWTR and FHOOS assume the same value of temperature drop. Consequently, FHOOS limits are not provided for BOC to End of COAST due to redundancy. Thermal limits for the BOC to End of COAST exposure applicability window are developed to conservatively bound FHOOS limits for earlier exposure applicability windows.

New analyses have been developed based on Reference 26. With the implementation of the MELLLA+ operating domain expansion, an ABSP trip is required when the OPRM is out-of-service. The ABSP trip settings define a region of the power to flow map within which an automatic reactor scram occurs. The ABSP trip settings are provided in Table 5.1. If both the OPRM and ABSP are out-of-service, operation within the MELLLA+ domain is not allowed and the MBSP Regions provide stability protection. Table 5.2 and Table 5.3 provide the endpoints for the MBSP regions for nominal and reduced feedwater temperature conditions.

  • The table identifies the expected fuel type breakdown in anticipation of final core loading. The final composition of the core depends upon uncertainties during the outage such as discovering a failed fuel bundle, or other bundle damage. Minor core loading changes, due to unforeseen events, will conform to the safety and monitoring requirements identified in this document.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 2 APLHGR Limits (Technical Specifications 3.2.1 & 3.7.5)

The APLHGR limit is determined by adjusting the rated power APLHGR limit for off-rated power, off-rated flow, and SLO conditions. The most limiting of these is then used as follows:

APLHGR limit = MIN ( APLHGRP, APLHGRF, APLHGRSLO )

where:

APLHGRP off-rated power APLHGR limit

[APLHGRRATED

  • MAPFACP]

APLHGRF off-rated flow APLHGR limit

[APLHGRRATED

  • MAPFACF]

APLHGRSLO SLO APLHGR limit

[APLHGRRATED

  • SLO Multiplier]

2.1 Rated Power and Flow Limit: APLHGRRATED The rated conditions APLHGR for all fuel are identified per Reference 1. The rated conditions APLHGR for ATRIUM-10XM are shown in Figure 2.1.

2.2 Off-Rated Power Dependent Limit: APLHGRP Reference 1 does not specify a power dependent APLHGR. Therefore, MAPFACP is set to a value of 1.0.

2.2.1 Startup without Feedwater Heaters There is a range of operation during startup when the feedwater heaters are not placed into service until after the unit has reached a significant operating power level. No additional power dependent limitation is required.

2.3 Off-Rated Flow Dependent Limit: APLHGRF Reference 1 does not specify a flow dependent APLHGR. Therefore, MAPFACF is set to a value of 1.0.

2.4 Single Loop Operation Limit: APLHGRSLO The single loop operation multiplier for ATRIUM-10XM fuel is 0.85, per Reference 1.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 3 LHGR Limits (Technical Specification 3.2.3, 3.3.4.1, & 3.7.5)

The LHGR limit is determined by adjusting the rated power LHGR limit for off-rated power and off-rated flow conditions. The most limiting of these is then used as follows:

LHGR limit = MIN ( LHGRP, LHGRF )

where:

LHGRP off-rated power LHGR limit

[LHGRRATED

  • LHGRFACP]

LHGRF off-rated flow LHGR limit

[LHGRRATED

  • LHGRFACF]

3.1 Rated Power and Flow Limit: LHGRRATED The rated conditions LHGR for all fuel are identified per Reference 1. The rated conditions LHGR for ATRIUM-10XM fuel is shown in Figure 3.1. The LHGR limit is consistent with Reference 3.

3.2 Off-Rated Power Dependent Limit: LHGRP LHGR limits are adjusted for off-rated power conditions using the LHGRFACP multiplier provided in Reference 1. The multiplier is split into two sub cases: turbine bypass valves in and out-of-service. The base case multipliers are shown in Figure 3.2.

3.2.1 Startup without Feedwater Heaters There is a range of operation during startup when the feedwater heaters are not placed into service until after the unit has reached a significant operating power level. Additional limits are shown in Figure 3.4 and Figure 3.5, based on temperature conditions identified in Table 3.1.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 3.3 Off-Rated Flow Dependent Limit: LHGRF LHGR limits are adjusted for off-rated flow conditions using the LHGRFACF multiplier provided in Reference 1. Multipliers are shown in Figure 3.3.

3.4 Equipment Out-Of-Service Corrections The limits shown in Figure 3.1 are applicable for operation with all equipment In-Service as well as the following Equipment Out-Of-Service (EOOS) options; including combinations of the options.

Feedwater Heaters Out-Of-Service or Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction RCPOOS One Recirculation Pump Out-Of-Service Off-rated power corrections shown in Figure 3.2 are dependent on operation of the Turbine Bypass Valve system. For this reason, separate limits are to be applied for TBVIS or TBVOOS operation. The limits have no dependency on RPTOOS, PLUOOS, FHOOS/FFWTR, or SLO.

Off-rated flow corrections shown in Figure 3.3 are bounding for all EOOS conditions.

Off-rated power corrections shown in Figure 3.4 and Figure 3.5 are also dependent on operation of the Turbine Bypass Valve system. In this case, limits support FHOOS operation during startup. These limits have no dependency on RPTOOS, PLUOOS, or SLO.

  • All equipment service conditions assume 1 SRVOOS.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 4 OLMCPR Limits (Technical Specification 3.2.2, 3.3.4.1, & 3.7.5)

OLMCPR is calculated to be the most limiting of the flow or power dependent values OLMCPR limit = MAX ( MCPRF, MCPRP )

where:

MCPRF core flow-dependent MCPR limit MCPRP power-dependent MCPR limit 4.1 Flow Dependent MCPR Limit: MCPRF MCPRF limits are dependent upon core flow (% of Rated), and the max core flow limit, (Rated or Increased Core Flow, ICF). MCPRF limits are shown in Figure 4.1, per Reference 1. Limits are valid for all EOOS combinations. No adjustment is required for SLO conditions.

4.2 Power Dependent MCPR Limit: MCPRP MCPRP limits are dependent upon:

Core Power Level (% of Rated)

Technical Specification Scram Speed (TSSS), Nominal Scram Speed (NSS), or Optimum Scram Speed (OSS)

Cycle Operating Exposure (NEOC, EOC, and CD - as defined in this section)

Equipment Out-Of-Service Options Two or Single recirculation Loop Operation (TLO vs. SLO)

The MCPRP limits are provided in Table 4.2 through Table 4.9, where each table contains the limits for all fuel types and EOOS options (for a specified scram speed and exposure range).

The CMSS determines MCPRP limits, from these tables, based on linear interpolation between the specified powers.

4.2.1 Startup without Feedwater Heaters There is a range of operation during startup when the feedwater heaters are not placed into service until after the unit has reached a significant operating power level. Additional power dependent limits are shown in Table 4.5 through Table 4.8 based on temperature conditions identified in Table 3.1.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 4.2.2 Scram Speed Dependent Limits (TSSS vs. NSS vs. OSS)

MCPRP limits are provided for three different sets of assumed scram speeds. The Technical Specification Scram Speed (TSSS) MCPRP limits are applicable at all times, as long as the scram time surveillance demonstrates the times in Technical Specification Table 3.1.4-1 are met. Both Nominal Scram Speeds (NSS) and/or Optimum Scram Speeds (OSS) may be used, as long as the scram time surveillance demonstrates Table 4.1 times are applicable.

3.040 3.040 In demonstrating compliance with the NSS and/or OSS scram time basis, surveillance requirements from Technical Specification 3.1.4 apply; accepting the definition of SLOW rods should conform to scram speeds shown in Table 4.1. If conformance is not demonstrated, TSSS based MCPRP limits are applied.

On initial cycle startup, TSSS limits are used until the successful completion of scram timing confirms NSS and/or OSS based limits are applicable.

4.2.3 Exposure Dependent Limits Exposures are tracked on a Core Average Exposure basis (CAVEX, not Cycle Exposure).

Higher exposure MCPRP limits are always more limiting and may be used for any Core Average Exposure up to the ending exposure. Per Reference 1, MCPRP limits are provided for the following exposure ranges:

BOC to NEOC NEOC corresponds to 27,972.7 MWd / MTU BOC to EOCLB EOCLB corresponds to 33,104.7 MWd / MTU BOC to End of Coast End of Coast 34,799.5 MWd / MTU NEOC refers to a Near EOC exposure point.

  • Reference 1 analysis results are based on information identified in Reference 4.

Drop out times consistent with method used to perform actual timing measurements (i.e., including pickup/dropout effects).

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final)

The EOCLB exposure point is not the true End-Of-Cycle exposure. Instead it corresponds to a licensing exposure window exceeding expected end-of-full-power-life.

The End of Coast exposure point represents a licensing exposure point exceeding the expected end-of-cycle exposure including cycle extension options.

4.2.4 Equipment Out-Of-Service (EOOS) Options EOOS options

  • covered by MCPRP limits are given by the following:

In-Service All equipment In-Service RPTOOS EOC-Recirculation Pump Trip Out-Of-Service TBVOOS Turbine Bypass Valve(s) Out-Of-Service RPTOOS+TBVOOS Combined RPTOOS and TBVOOS PLUOOS Power Load Unbalance Out-Of-Service PLUOOS+RPTOOS Combined PLUOOS and RPTOOS PLUOOS+TBVOOS Combined PLUOOS and TBVOOS PLUOOS+TBVOOS+RPTOOS Combined PLUOOS, RPTOOS, and TBVOOS FHOOS (or FFWTR)

Feedwater Heaters Out-Of-Service (or Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction)

RCPOOS One Recirculation Pump Out-Of-Service For exposure ranges up to NEOC and EOCLB, additional combinations of MCPRP limits are also provided including FHOOS. The coast down exposure range assumes application of FFWTR. FHOOS based MCPRP limits for the coast down exposure are redundant because the temperature setdown assumption is identical with FFWTR.

4.2.5 Single-Loop-Operation (SLO) Limits When operating in RCPOOS conditions, MCPRp limits are constructed differently from the normal operating RCP conditions. The limiting event for RCPOOS is a pump seizure scenario, which sets the upper bound for allowed core power and flow. This event is not impacted by scram time assumptions. Specific MCPRP limits are shown in Table 4.9.

4.2.6 Below Pbypass Limits Below Pbypass (26% rated power), MCPRP limits depend upon core flow. One set of MCPRP limits applies for core flow above 50% of rated; a second set applies if the core flow is less than or equal to 50% rated.

  • All equipment service conditions assume 1 SRVOOS.

RCPOOS limits are only valid up to 43.75% rated core power, 50% rated core flow, and an active recirculation drive flow of 17.73 Mlbm/hr.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 5 Thermal-Hydraulic Stability Protection (Technical Specification 3.3.1.1)

Technical Specification Table 3.3.1.1-1, Function 2f, identifies the function.

Instrument setpoints are established, such that the reactor will be tripped before an oscillation can grow to the point where the SLMCPR is exceeded. With application of Reference 30, the DSS-CD stability solution will be used per Reference 26. The DSS-CD SAD setpoint is 1.10 for TLO and SLO.

New analyses have been developed based on Reference 26. With the implementation of the MELLLA+ operating domain expansion, an ABSP trip is required when the OPRM is out-of-service. The ABSP trip settings define a region of the power to flow map within which an automatic reactor scram occurs. The ABSP trip settings are provided in Table 5.1. If both the OPRM and ABSP are out-of-service, operation within the MELLLA+ domain is not allowed and the MBSP Regions provide stability protection. Table 5.2 and Table 5.3 provide the endpoints for the MBSP regions for nominal and reduced feedwater temperature conditions.

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 6 APRM Flow Biased Rod Block Trip Settings (Technical Requirements Manual Section 5.3.1 and Table 3.3.4-1)

The APRM rod block trip setting is based upon References 27 & 29, and is defined by the following:

for two loop operation:

SRB (0.61Wd + 63.3)

Allowable Value SRB (0.61Wd + 62.0)

Nominal Trip Setpoint (NTSP) where:

SRB

=

Rod Block setting in percent of rated thermal power (3952 MWt)

Wd

=

Recirculation drive flow rate in percent of rated (100% drive flow required to achieve 100% core power and flow) and for single loop operation:

SRB (0.55(Wd-W) + 60.5)

Allowable Value SRB (0.55(Wd-W) + 58.5)

Nominal Trip Setpoint (NTSP) where:

SRB

=

Rod Block setting in percent of rated thermal power (3952 MWt)

Wd

=

Recirculation drive flow rate in percent of rated (100% drive flow required to achieve 100% core power and flow)

W

=

Difference between two-loop and single-loop effective recirculation flow at the same core flow (W=0.0 for two-loop operation)

The APRM rod block trip setting is clamped at a maximum allowable value of 115%

(corresponding to a NTSP of 113%).

TVA-COLR-BF3C20, Revision 0 (Final) 7 Rod Block Monitor (RBM) Trip Setpoints and Operability (Technical Specification Table 3.3.2.1-1)

The RBM trip setpoints and applicable power ranges, based on References 27 & 28, are shown in Table 7.1. Setpoints are based on an HTSP, unfiltered analytical limit of 114%. Unfiltered setpoints are consistent with a nominal RBM filter setting of 0.0 seconds; filtered setpoints are consistent with a nominal RBM filter setting less than 0.5 seconds. Cycle specific CRWE analyses of OLMCPR are documented in Reference 1, superseding values reported in References 27, 28, and 29.
