Cycle 24

Revision 1 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT

REASON FOR REVISION

Revision 0:

The Cycle 24 core operating limits are updated to provide cycle-specific MCPR and the APLHGR limits for the GNF2 and GNF3 fuel types, respectively. Figures 2-1 LHGRFAC multiplier values, independent of fuel type. Figure 1-1 and 1-2 provides through 2-5 are updated with new MCPR limits and Figures 3-1 through 3-4 are These limits are based on a core power of 4408 MWt. updated with new LHGRFAC limits. No other core operating limits are changed.

Revision 1:

The Cycle 24 core operating limit reports is updated due to the F024-02 core shuffle to replace two failed fuel bundles. This revision is to update the GESTAR analysis reference which concludes that the Cycle 24 SRLR is still applicable to the core. There are no changes to the Cycle 24 limits in this revision.

5.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rates Consistent with Technical Specification 3.2.1, all APLHGRs shall not exceed the fuel type and exposure-dependent limits reported in Figures 1-1 and 1-2 [3.1.1].

5.2 Minimum Critical Power Ratio Operation (TLO), and 1.12 for Single Loop Operation (SLO) [3.1.1]. For Cycle 24, the cycle-specific MCPR Safety Limit (MCPR99.9%), is 1.12 for Two Loop

GEH Safety Communication 21-04 [3.1.23] identifies a metastable flow condition that may exist in a BWR/6 in core locations fed by a side entry orifice adjacent to two core support cross beams. The vendor has been unable to determine the frequency of occurrence of this flow condition, if any. This flow condition results in a higher loss coefficient and lower CPR (applied as higher MCPR limits). To be conservative, All MCPR limits in the COLR Figures apply the penalty recommended by SC 21-04 Rev. it is assumed this condition always exists, so an MCPR penalty is always applied.

1 [3.1.23].

Consistent with Technical Specification 3.2.2, the MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the limits reported in Figure(s) 2 as functions of power, flow, exposure, and scram speed [3.1.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.10, 3.1.19]. For operation at powers

~35.4%, the power-dependent MCPR shall be determined based on scram time surveillance data as follows. [3.1.19]

1) If the average scram time (TAVE) satisfies the following:

'AVE~'B*

then the power dependent MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the Option B limits reported in Figure(s) 2 as a function of exposure.

2) If the average scram time

then the power-dependent MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the Tau = 0.2 limits reported in Figure(s) 2 as a function of exposure,

3) If the average scram time

'AVE >Ts and r>0.2, then the power-dependent MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the Option A limits reported in Figure(s) 2 as a function of exposure.

In the above equations:

'AVE= average scram time to the 20% insertion position as calculated by equation 1 of Reference 3.1.19,

COLR Page 9 LBDCR 2022-054 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT

, 8 = adjusted analysis mean scram time for 20% insertion as calculated by equation 3 of Reference 3.1.19 and r=---'-~~-~

~-~

where

'A = the technical specification limit on core average scram time to the 20 percent insertion position (0.503 seconds).

The limits determined above support operation with Turbine Bypass Valves Out of Service as described in Technical Specification 3.7.7. Additional MCPR operating Technical Specification 3.3.4.1. limits are provided to support operation with EOC-RPT inoperable as described in

Rated Operating Limit MCPR values (equipment in service, 100% power, OLMCPR's) are provided in Table 7. These can be used with the Kp factors in Figures 6 and 7 to determine the appropriate power-dependent OLMCPR at a certain power level. The SC 21-04 Rev. 1 Attachment 5 [3.1.23] penalties must be applied after determining a power-dependent OLMCPR. The MCPR graphs in Figures 2-1 through 2-5 already incorporate the Kp factors and the SC 21-04 Rev. 1 [3.1.23] penalties.

When using Table 7 and Figures 6 & 7 to calculate power-dependent OLMCPR's, an intermediate OLMCPR should be calculated using the appropriate rated OLMCPR and Kp factors (see Figures 6 & 7). This intermediate value should be rounded to two decimals, then the SC 21-04 Rev. 1 [3.1.23] Attachment 5 penalties should be applied, and the final value rounded again to two decimals. For assistance in using Table 7 and Figures 6 & 7 to determine an OLMCPR value, contact Reactor Engineering or the BWR Core Design department.

When calculating SLO MCPR's, 0.03 should be added to Table 7 values before applying Kp factors. If the value after adding 0.03 is less than 1.29, it should be increased to 1.29 before applying Kp factors.

Note that all MCPR Figures (2-1 through 2-5) already apply the Kp factors and the SC 21-04 Rev. 1 penalties.

5.3 Linear Heat Generation Rate Consistent with Technical Specification 3.2.3, the LHGRs for any GNF2 or GNF3 fuel rod at any axial location shall not exceed the nodal exposure-dependent limits reported in Reference 3.1.3 (by reference reported in [3.1.20] for GNF2 and dependent LHGR factors reported in Figures 3-1 and 3-2, and Figures 3-3 and 3-4, [3.1.21] for GNF3) multiplied by the smaller of either the power-dependent or flow Bypass Valves Out of Service as described in Technical Specification 3.7.7. respectively [3.1.1]. The limits determined above support operation with Turbine

5.4 Stability The OPRM Upscale Confirmation Density Algorithm (CDA) Amplitude Discriminator setpoint is reported in Table 1.

The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) regions boundaries are reported in Figures 4 and 5 [3.1.1]. BSP measures support operation with the OPRM upscale trip function COLR Page 10 LBDCR 2022-054 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT

inoperable as described in Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 Condition J. The endpoints for the BSP region boundaries are provided for normal (NFWT) and reduced (RFWT) feedwater temperature operations in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. Figures 4 and 5 depict the BSP region boundaries for NFWT and RFWT operations. Note that Figures 4 and 5 also depict the MELLLA+ and MELLLA domains, consistent with feedwater temperature operating limitations.

The ABSP APRM Simulated Thermal Power (STP) setpoints associated with the ABSP Scram Region are provided in Table 4. The ABSP setpoints are applicable to TLO and SLO, and to both normal and reduced feedwater temperature operations.

The BSP Boundary and Manual BSP region boundaries for normal feedwater temperature operations are valid for reductions in normal feedwater temperature as much as (and including) -10.0 °F [3.1.1].

5.5 Applicability The following core operating limits are applicable for operation in the Maximum Extended Operating Domain (MEOD), with Feedwater Heaters Out of Service (FWHOOS),

Turbine Bypass Out of Service (TBVOOS), EOC-RPT inoperable, and Pressure Regulator Out of Service (PROOS). For operation with one of the previous conditions mentioned, the alternate MCPR limits described in Section 5.2 above must be implemented. Table 6 provides an applicability condition list of events related to the Figures. For SLO, the following additional requirements must be satisfied.

1. THE APLHGRs shall not exceed the exposure-dependent limits determined in accordance with Section 5.1 reduced by a 0.83 SLO multiplier for GNF2 fuel bundles, and reduced by a 0.90 SLO multiplier for GNF3 fuel bundles. [3.1.1].

2. THE LHGRs shall not exceed the smaller of the nodal exposure-dependent limits determined in accordance with Section 5.3 above or the nodal exposure-dependent limits reported in Reference 3.1.3. During SLO operation the SLO values will be used from Figures 3-3 and 3-4 [3.1.1].

3. The MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the limits determined in accordance with Section 5.2. Due to the application of SC 21-04 Rev. 1 penalties to the MCPR limits, a flat adder is not appropriate for SLO limits. SLO MCPR operating limits are displayed in Figures 2-1 through 2-4 "C" & "D" and Figure 2-SB [3.1.1].

5.6 Limitations and Conditions As required by Limitation and Condition 9.10/9.ll of licensing topical report NEDC-33173P-A [3.1.7], the limiting Thermal and Mechanical Overpower results are these limits. The results are confirmed to meet the required 10% margin to the reported in Table 5. The results are summarized as a percent margin to both of design limits [3.1.1].

As required by Limitation and Condition 12.10.b of licensing topical report NEDC-33006P-A [3.1.8], the off-rated limits assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses are confirmed to be consistent with the off-rated LHGR multipliers provided Figures 3-1 through 3-4. These off-rated LHGR multipliers provide adequate protection for MELLLA+ operation.

As required by Limitation and Condition 12.5.c of licensing topical report NEDC-33006P-A [3.1.8], the plant specific power/flow map specifying the GGNS licensed MELLLA+ operating domain is included as Figure 4.

COLR Page 11 LBDCR 2022-054 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT

As required by Limitation and Condition 12.5.b of licensing topical report NEDC-33006P-A [3.1.8], operation with Feedwater Heaters Out of Service (FWHOOS) is prohibited while in the MELLLA+ operating domain [3.1.1]. In addition, as required by Limitation and Condition 12.5.a of licensing topical report NEDC-33006P-A [3.1.8], and described in GGNS TS 3.4.1 LCO, SLO is prohibited in the MELLLA+

operating domain [3.1.1].Therefore, operations with RFWT and/or SLO must adhere to the operating domain shown in Figure 5.
