CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 1.0 PURPOSE On October 4, 1988, the NRC issued Generic Letter 88-16 [3.1.1] encouraging licensees to remove cycle-specific parameter limits from Technical Specifications and to place these limits in a formal report to be prepared by the licensee. As long as the parameter limits were developed with NRC-approved methodologies, the letter indicated that this would remove unnecessary burdens on licensee and NRC resources.

On October 29, 1992, Entergy Operations submitted a Proposed Amendment to the Grand Gulf Operating License requesting changes to the GGNS Technical Specifications to remove certain reactor physics parameter limits that change each fuel cycle

[3.1.2]. This amendment committed to placing these operating limits in a separate Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) which is defined in Technical Specifications.

This PCOL was approved by the NRC by SER dated January 21, 1993 [3.1.3].

The COLR is controlled as a License Basis Document and revised accordingly for each fuel cycle or remaining portion of a fuel cycle. Any revisions to the COLR must be submitted to the NRC for information as required by Tech Spec 5.6.5 and tracked by Licensing Commitment 29132. This COLR reports the Cycle 19 core operating and stability limits.

2.0 SCOPE As defi ned in Techni cal Specifi cati on 1.1, the COLR is the GGNS document that provides the core operating limits for the current fuel cycle. This document is prepared in accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.5 for each reload cycle using NRC-approved analytical methods.

The Cycle 19 core operating and stability limits included in this report are:

  • the Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR),
  • the Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR) limit, and
  • the Option III stability limits.

CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 4.0 DEFINITIONS 4.1 Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) - the APLHGR shall be applicable to a specific planar height and is equal to the sum of the linear heat generation rates for all the fuel rods in the specified bundle at the specified height divided by the number of fuel rods in the fuel bundle.

4.2 Average Planar Exposure - the Average Planar Exposure shall be applicable to a specific planar height and is equal to the sum of the exposure of all the fuel rods in the specified bundle at the specified height divided by the number of fuel rods in the fuel bundle.

4.3 Critical Power Ratio (CPR) - the ratio of that power in the assembly, which is calculated by application of the fuel vendor's appropriate boiling correlation, to cause some point in the assembly to experience boiling transition, divided by the actual assembly operating power.

4.4 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) - The Grand Gulf Nuclear Station specific document that provides core operating limits for the current reload cycle in accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.5.

4.5 Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR) - the LHGR shall be the heat generation per unit length of fuel rod. It is the integral of the heat flux over the heat transfer area associated with the unit length.

4.6 Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) - the MCPR shall be the smallest CPR which exists in the core.

4.7 MCPR Safety Limit - the minimum value of the CPR at which the fuel could be operated with the expected number of rods in boiling transition not exceeding 0.1% of the fuel rods in the core.

4.8 Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) - Provides automatic detection and suppression of reactor core thermal-hydraulic instabilities through monitoring neutron flux changes.

4.9 Backup Stability Protection (BSP) Scram Region - The area of the core power and flow operating domain where the reactor is susceptible to reactor instabilities under conditions exceeding the licensing basis of the current reactor system. An immediate manual scram is required upon entry.

4.10 Backup Stability Protection (BSP) Controlled Entry Region - The area of the core power and flow operating domain where the reactor is susceptible to reactor instabilities. Compliance with at least one alternate stability control is required upon entry.

4.11 End of Rated (EOR) - The Cycle exposure corresponding to all rods out, 100%

COLR Page 7 LBDCR 12019

CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT 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 exposure-dependent limits reported in Figures 1-1 and 1-2 [3.2.1].

5.2 Minimum Critical Power Ratio 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, and exposure [3.2.1,3.2.2].

Additional MCPR operating limits are provided to support operation with EOC-RPT inoperable as described in Technical Specification 3.3.4.1.

5.3 Linear Heat Generation Rate Consistent with Technical Specification 3.2.3, the LHGRs for any GNF2 or GE14 rod at any axial location shall not exceed the nodal exposure-dependent limits reported in Reference 3.2.3 multiplied by the smaller of either the power-dependent or flow-dependent LHGR factors reported in Figures 3-1 and 3-2, respectively [3.2.2,3.2.9].

5.4 Stability The OPRM upscale Period Based Detection Algorithm (PBDA) trip setpoints are reported in Table 1. The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) regions boundaries are reported in Figure 4 [3.2.1,3.2.10]. BSP measures support operation with the OPRM upscale trip function inoperable as described in Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 Condition J.

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 (FHOOS),

and EOC-RPT inoperable. For operation with EOC-RPT inoperable, the alternate MCPR limits described in Section 5.2 above must be implemented. For single-loop operation (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. [3.2.1].
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 3.2.3 reduced by a 0.83 SLO multiplier [3.2.1].
3. The MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the limits determined in accordance with Section 5.2 above increased by 0.03 to account for the difference between the two-loop and single-loop MCPR safety limits for the allowable range of single-loop operation [3.2.1].
