Subject:

Byron Station Unit 1 Cycle 14 Core Operating Limits Report In accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.5, "Core Operating Limits Report (COLR),"

we are submitting the Unit 1 Cycle 14 COLR Revision 1 and Revision 2. Revision 1 was issued to address the fuel reload period of Cycle 14. Revision 2 was issued to incorporate the effects of the core redesign resulting from the discovery of fuel failures in fuel originally planned for use in Cycle 14. Note that Revision 0 of the Unit 1 Cycle 14 COLR was never issued.

Should you have any questions concerning these reports, please contact William Grundmann, Regulatory Assurance Manager, at (815) 234-5441, extension 2800.

The uncertainty, UFO, to be applied to the Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor Fa(Z) shall be calculated by the following formula U/,Q = U.".

  • U, where:

Uqu = Base F0 measurement uncertainty = 1.05 when PDMS is inoperable (Uqu is defined by PDMS when OPERABLE.)
