1.0 INTRODUCTION

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT RTYPE: G4.02 This report provides the cycle-specific limits for operation of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station (PNPS) during Cycle 22. In this report, Cycle 22 will be referred to as the present cycle.

The Technical Specifications refer to this report for the applicable values of the following fuel-related parameters:

Reference Technical Specification APRM Flux Scram Trip Setting (Run Mode)

APRM Rod Block Trip Setting (Run Mode)

Rod Block Monitor Trip Setting Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)

Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR)

Power/Flow Relationship Reactor Vessel Core Design Table 3.1.1 Table 3.2.C-2 Table 3.2.C-2 3.11.A 3.11.B 3.11.C 3.11.D 4.2 If any of the core operating limits in this report are exceeded, actions will be taken as defined in the referenced Technical Specification.

The core operating limits in this report have been established for the present cycle using the NRC-approved methodology provided in the documents listed in Technical Specification 5.6.5. These limits are established such that the applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met.

1.1 Stability Option 1-D Exclusion Region and Buffer Zone The reactor shall not be intentionally operated within the Exclusion Region given in Figure 3.4-1, for Two Loop Operation (TLO) and Figure 3.4-2 for Single Loop Operation (SLO). Immediate exit is required for inadvertent entry into the exclusion region.

The reactor shall not be intentionally operated within the Buffer Zone given in Figure 3.4-1 for TLO and Figure 3.4-2, for SLO when the on-line Stability Monitor is inoperable.

Allowable values for APRM Scram and Rod Block trip set points are defined in Section 2.

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 2.0 INSTRUMENTATION TRIP SETTINGS:

2.1 APRM Flux Scram Trip Setting (Run Mode)

Reference Technical Specifications: Table 3.1.1 RTYPE: G4.02 APRM flux scram Allowable Trip Set points (ATSP) for TLO are shown on Figure 2.1-1.

The scram set point curve clamps power at 120% of rated core thermal power.

Formulae used to develop Figure 2.1-1 are listed in Table 2.1-1.

APRM flux scram Allowable Trip Set points (ATSP) for SLO are shown on Figure 2.1-2.

The scram set point curve clamps power at 120% of rated core thermal power.

Formulae used to develop Figure 2.1-2 are listed in Table 2.1-2.

In accordance with Technical Specification Table 3.1.1, Note 15, for no combination of loop recirculation flow rate and core thermal power shall the APRM flux scram trip setting be allowed to exceed 120% of rated thermal power.

Drive Flow to Core Flow relationship:

APRM Trip settings use Drive flow to determine the power trip setting for both scrams and rod blocks, as the drive flow is a more reliable flow indication than core flow. The transient analysis uses the stability based trip settings based on Core Flow. Therefore, calibration of Drive flow vs. core flow is important to ensure that transient analysis assumptions for trip settings are implemented correctly.

Drive Flow (Wo) normalization with core flow shall be done such that 100% Drive Flow with Two Loops corresponds to 100% Rated Core Flow of 69 M#/hr.

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 3.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS 3.1 Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR)

Reference Technical Specification: 3.11.A RTYPE: G4.02 During operation at ~25% of rated thermal power, MAPLHGR as a function of axial location and average planar exposure shall not exceed the applicable limiting value.

MAPLHGR limits for Two Loop Operation (TLO) are given in Table 3.1-1. Flow and power dependent multipliers used to be necessary only as a result of applying pin based limit using lattice local peaking factors. Beginning with Cycle 20, the peak pin LHGR setdown is applied to the pin based LHGR limit. Therefore, there is no need for power and flow dependent multipliers on the MAPLHGR limit (Reference 5.11). Peak pin LHGR limit based on LOCA analysis is listed in Table 3.1-3.

TLO MAPLHGR limits are presented in Figure 3.1-1. MAPLHGR limits are based on ECCS-LOCA considerations. The MAPLHGR values are listed in Table 3.1-1 are obtained from the Supplemental Reload Licensing Report (Ref. 5.15}. Licensing basis PCT based on the MAPLHGR Limits in this report for GNF2 is 2150 °F (Ref. 5.15).

Since the thermal-mechanical LHGR is no longer composited with MAPLHGR limits, there is no power or flow dependent aspect to MAPLHGR limits. The pLHGR limit is applied to LHGR which makes MAPLHGR fuel design type dependent, rather than lattice dependent. Therefore the power & flow dependent multipliers only apply to LHGR limits.

When in Single Loop Operation, an SLO Multiplier of 0.89 (Table 3.1-2) applies to the TLO MAPLHGR limit.

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 3.2 Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)

Reference Technical Specification: 3.11.B RTYPE: G4.02 During operation at ;::253 of rated thermal power, the LHGR of any rod in any fuel assembly at any axial location shall not exceed the rated power and rated core flow limits presented in Figure 3.2-1. Proprietary detailed values are in Reference 5.17. At other than rated power and rated flow conditions, the applicable limiting LHGR value by fuel type is the smaller of the flow-and power-dependent LHGR limits, LHGRf and LHGRp. The flow-dependent LHGR limit, LHGRf, is the product of the LHGR flow factor, LHGRFACf, shown in Figure 3.2-2 and the LHGR for rated power and flow conditions. The power-dependent LHGR limit, LHGRp, is the product of the LHGR power factor, LHGRFACp, shown in Figure 3.2-3 and the LHGR for rated power and flow conditions.

LHGR Curves in Figure 3.2-1 are representative curves for U02 fuel rods and the highest weight % Gd rods. Reference 5.17 documents the applicable LHGR limits for Gd fuel rods by weight%. Reference 5.23 documents the GESTAR II compliance of GNF2 fuel, as amended, GESTAR II, (Reference 5.1) includes Prime T-M methods.

Cycle 22 LHGR limits are based on using PRIME for U02 fuel rods and Gd rods.

Pbypass is the power level below which more restrictive thermal limits are applied, as Turbine Stop Valve closure and Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure scrams are bypassed. Pbypass can be set anywhere in the range <32.5% core thermal power (TS Table 3.1.1). However, the applicable less restrictive LHGRFACp limits in the upper curve in Figure 3.2-3 can be used whenever the Turbine Stop Valve closure and the Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure scrams are enabled.

When in Single Loop Operation, an SLO Multiplier of 0.89 (Table 3.1-3) applies to the TLO LHGR limit. The applicable off-rated LHGR limit is the Rated TLO LHGR Limit multiplied by the most limiting between the LHGRFACp, LHGRFACf and the SLO Multiplier of 0.89.

In modeling the Feedwater Level Control Failure with maximum demand transient, an automatic Reactor Feed pump trip is not assumed because the trip may not occur during the transient. The trip is also not credited in the event of a system malfunction and therefore the results of the integrated plant response assume that the feed pump trip does not occur on high level. For example, a low reactor water level indication on one of the feed water level sensing channels may be present that could be the cause of the maximum Feedwater demand. This becomes important for lower power levels where the Turbine Stop Valve closure and the Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure scrams are bypassed. The off-rated limits in this COLR revision reflect this consideration (Ref. 5.25).

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 3.3 Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR)

Reference Technical Specification: 3.11.C RTYPE: G4.02 During operation at ~25% of rated thermal power, the MCPR shall be greater than or equal to the Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR). The operating limit MCPR is the greater of the flow-and power-dependent MCPR operating limits, MCPRf and MCPRp.

The flow-dependent MCPR operating limit, MCPRf, is provided in Figure 3.3-1. For power level less than Pbypass. the MCPRp can be directly read from Figure 3.3-2, when I Turbine Bypass is operable or from Figure 3.3-3, when Turbine Bypass is out of service.

Above Pbypass* MCPRp is the product of the rated power and flow MCPR operating limit presented in Table 3.3-1, and the Kp factor presented in Figure 3.3-2, when Turbine Bypass is in service and from Figure 3.3-3, when Turbine Bypass is out of service. The rated power and flow MCPR operating limits presented in Table 3.3-1 are functions of 't.

For SLO, MCPRp and MCPRf are raised by 0.02 compared to TLO values shown in Figures 3.3-2 and 3.3-3.

The value of 't in Table 3.3-1 shall be equal to 1.0, unless it is calculated from the results of the surveillance testing of Technical Specification 4.3.C. TS 4.11.C defines 't.

Turbine Bypass out of service describes a Turbine Bypass Valve Out-of-Service (TBVOOS) event where the turbine bypass valves fast opening function does not operate to mitigate fast pressurization transients.. TBVOOS OLMCPR provided in Table 3.3-1 and Figure 3.3-3 are for thermal limits assessments only.

Pbypass is the power level below which 3DMonicore applies more restrictive thermal limits, as Turbine Stop Valve Closure and Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure scrams are bypassed. Pbypass can be set anywhere in the range< 32.5% core thermal power.

Pbypass is set at 32.5% by default in 3DMonicore. However, the less restrictive MCPRp limits (the lower curve) in Figures 3.3-2 & 3.3-3 can be applied whenever the Turbine Stop Valve closure and the Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure scrams are enabled.

Transient Analysis assumes that a transient initiates from operation within the Feedwater Temperature vs. Reactor Power band (Figure 3.3-4). Also, Transient Analysis considers the initial pressure when a transient initiates. Figure 3.3-5 presents four curves:

1. A constant "Analysis Upper Pressure Bound" equal to 1046 psig, and

2. A representative nominal I expected dome pressure curve which has a dome pressure of 1035 psig at 100% core thermal power, and

3. A standard lower band labeled"(-) 10 psi Analysis Pressure Bound", and

4. An expanded pressure band labeled"(-) 20 psi Analysis Pressure Lower Bound" If dome pressure is within the expanded pressure band on Figure 3.3-5 which is below the"(-) 10 psi Analysis Pressure Bound" and above the"(-) 20 psi Analysis Lower Bound" an OLMCPR penalty of +0.01 must be applied to the value in Table 3.3-1. The Revision 37 Cycle 22 COLR Page 25 of 38

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT RTYPE: G4.02 SRLR (Reference 5.15) provides the pressure boundaries on Figure 3.3-5 based on Reference 5.22. The OLMCPR penalty of +0.01 when operating in the expanded range pressure range between (-)1 O psi and (-)20 psi is required per Reference 5.15.

In modeling the Feedwater Level Control Failure with maximum demand Transient, an automatic Reactor Feed pump trip is not assumed because the trip may not occur during the transient. The trip is also not credited in the event of a system malfunction and therefore the results of the integrated plant response assume that the feed pump trip does not occur on high level. For example, a low reactor water level indication on one of the feed water level sensing channels may be present that could be the cause of the maximum Feedwater demand. This becomes important for lower power levels where the Turbine Stop Valve closure and the Turbine Control Valve Fast Closure scrams are bypassed. The off-rated limits in this COLR revision reflect this consideration (Ref. 5.25).

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 3.4 Power/Flow Relationship During Power Operation Reference Technical Specification: 3.11. D RTYPE: G4.02 The power/flow relationship shall not exceed the limiting values shown on the Power/Flow Operating Maps in Figures 3.4-1 when in Two Loop Operation and 3.4-2 when in Single Loop Operation. APRM Flux scram and Rod Block curves without the flow clamp are applicable to Cycle 22. Figures 3.4-1 and 3.4-2 show APRM Scram and Rod Block lines using allowable values as a function of Core Flow.

The Exclusion and the Buffer regions shown in Figures 3.4-1 and 3.4-2 are based on Stability Solution 1-D (References 5.4, 5.12, 5.15 and 5.20).

Single Loop Analysis limits maximum Core Flow to 52% of Rated Core Flow and maximum Power to 65% of Rated due to SLO vessel internal vibration (Ref. 5.7, p. 1-2).

Various lines on the Power to flow map are described in Ref. 5.14.
