1.0 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR)
This Core Operating Limits Report for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) Cycle 32 is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.6.3. The core operating limits are developed using NRG-approved methodology as listed in Section 7 of this COLR and are established such that all applicable thermal limits of the plant safety analysis are met.
A 0.03 penalty has been applied to the SLMCPR when the ratio of core power to core flow is ~ 42 MWt / Mlbm/hr in the EFW region. This penalty has been incorporated into the OLMCPR. The 0.03 penalty is not applied when MNGP is operating in the Maximum Extended Load Line Limit (MELLLA) region or operating in the EFW region where the ratio of core power to core flow is
< 42 MWt / Mlbm/hr. The OLMCPRs in Section 5 of this COLR were selected to ensure that the MCPR SLs of Tech Spec SL 2.1 are not violated. Note that Single Loop Operation is not permitted in the EFW region.
This report includes the Best-estimate Enhanced Option Ill (BEO-11I) long term stability solution, which is required to operate in the Extended Flow Window (EFW) (aka, MELLLA+) region of the Power-flow map.
This report includes using S-RELAP5 Reference [1], XCOBRA Reference [2], RODEX4 Reference [3] and CASMO-4/MICROBURN-B2 Reference [4] as described in the Framatome THERMEX methodology report Reference [2] and neutronics methodology report Reference [5].

3.0 Rod Block Monitor Operability Requirements The Rod Withdrawal Error (RWE) analysis Reference [6] validated that the following MCPR values provide the required margin for full withdrawal of any control rod during Monticello Cycle 32:
Note that the RBM is not credited below 30% power as identified below in Section 4.0.
For Power~ 30% and < 90%: MCPR ~ 2.17 (for TLO)
For Power~ 30% and< 90%: MCPR ~ 2.19 (for SLO)
For Power~ 90%: MCPR ~ 1.60 (for TLO)
When the core power is greater than or equal to 30% and less than 90% of rated in two-loop operation and the MCPR is less than 2.17, then a limiting control rod pattern exists and the Rod Block Monitor is required to be operable.
When the core power is greater than or equal to 30% and less than 90% of rated in single loop operation and the MCPR is less than 2.19, then a limiting control rod pattern exists and the Rod Block Monitor is required to be operable.
When the core power is greater than or equal to 90% and the MCPR is less than 1.60, then a limiting control rod pattern exists and the Rod Block Monitor is required to be operable.

5.0 Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR)
The cycle specific MCPR limits protect the MCPR95'1o195% limit of 1.05 which is a generic value based on the ATRIUM 10XM/ATRIUM 11 fuel type and the ACE MCPR correlations.
The cycle specific MCPR limits presented in Figures 3-5, and Figures 7-9 are based on TLO and SLO MCPR99.9% values of 1.09 and 1.11 which meets the requirement in Technical Specification.
2.1.1.3 5.1 Tech. Spec. Scram Speed (TSSS)
The Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR) for TSSS does not account for scram speeds that are faster than those required by Technical Specifications.
5.1.1 TSSS OLMCPR for Two Recirculation Loop Operation The TSSS OLMCPR shall be determined for two recirculation loop operation (TLO) as follows, where core thermal power is denoted by (P):
For 25% s; (P) s; 100%:
- 1. The TSSS OLMCPR is the greater of {MCPR(P) from Figure 3} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 5}
Reference:
Technical Specification Section 3.2.2.
The OLMCPR for NSS does take into account the measured scram speeds that are faster than the Technical Specification requirements, thus reducing the potential consequences of a limiting transient.
5.2.1 NSS OLMCPR for Two Recirculation Loop Operation The NSS OLMCPR shall be determined for two recirculation loop operation as follows:
For 25% s; (P) s; 100%:
Reference:
Technical Specification Section 3.2.2.
5.3 Technical Specification Scram Time Dependence Technical Specification 3.1.4 and Table 3.1.4-1 provide the scram insertion time versus position requirements for continued operations. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements SR 3.1.4.1 - SR 3.1 .4.4 provide the surveillance requirements for the CRDs. Data from testing of the CRDs, or from an unplanned scram, is summarized in Surveillance Test 0081.
Using this cycle specific information, values of 't'P ave can be calculated in accordance with the equation below for each notch position (P = 46, 36, 26, and 06).
The Equation (1) used to calculate the average of the current scram times for the cycle is:

i=l T ave- (1)
N where:
'T pi = the scram time to notch position P for control rod i from its most recent surveillance test; N= The number of operable control rods not declared slow (N :::_ 121).
P= The notch position (P = 46, 36, 26, and 06)

The average scram time for notch position (P), 'tP ave is tested against the Nominal Scram Speed for that notch position (NSSP) using the following equation:
p p T ave< NSS (2) where:
NSSP is the Nominal Scram Speed for the specified CRD Notch Position (P) from Table 1 NSS Scram Insertion Time to CRD Notch Position Table 1 NSS Scram Insertion Time to CRD Notch Position Notch Position (P) NSSP (sec) 46 0.304 36 0.820 26 1.355 06 2.477 If the average scram time satisfies the Equation 2 criteria for each notch position, continued plant operation under the NSS operating limit minimum critical power ratio (OLMCPR) for pressurization events is permitted. If the average scram time fails the Equation 2 criteria for any notch position, the TSSS OLMCPR must be used for pressurization events.
No interpolation between NSS and TSSS operating limits is allowed.
5.4 Pressure Regulator Out of Service (PROOS) Operation This section provides power dependent MCPR limits when a backup pressure regulator is not operational (also called PROOS).
A Pressure Regulator Failure Down-Scale (PRFDS) event without backup pressure regulator was evaluated for Monticello (Reference [61). This event resulted in a more restrictive Power Dependent MCPR limit than required for normal reduced power operation with both pressure NAD-MN-053, Monticello Cycle 32 COLR, Revision 0 Page 8 of 26
regulators operational. The off-rated power dependent limits have been generated for Cycle 32 (Reference [6]). Figure 7 provides the required more restrictive power dependent MCPR limits.
The Pressure Regulator Out of Service limits are applicable for Cycle 32 (Reference [6]).
Figure 7 shows the more restrictive limits determined in Reference [6] for PROOS operation.
Figure 7 should only be used for operation without a backup pressure regulator. Figure 7 is valid for both TSSS and NSS OLMCPR limits.
An interim MFLCPR Limit is provided in Figure 8. This limit should only be used if the Gardel thermal limit input has not been modified as described in Section 5.4.1 to account for pressure regulator out of service operation. That is, only Figure 7 or Figure 8 should be used to provide the appropriate PROOS limit. These figures should not be utilized in combination.
5.4.1 OLMCPR for Two Recirculation Loop Operation, WITHOUT A BACKUP PRESSURE REGULATOR The PROOS TSSS OLMCPR and NSS OLMCPR shall be determined for two recirculation loop operation as follows:
For 25%:;;; (P):;;; 100%:
- 1. the OLMCPR is the greater of {MCPR(P) from Figure 7} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 5}
5.5 OLMCPR for Single Recirculation Loop Operation For single recirculation loop operation, there are not separate TSSS, NSS and PROOS OLMCPRs. The OLMCPR is bounded in all three conditions by the same limit. It shall be determined as follows:
- 1. the OLMCPR is the greater of {MCPR(P) from Figure 9} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 5}

Technical Specification Section 3.2.2.
6.0 Power-Flow Map The Power-Flow Operating Map based on analysis to support Cycle 32 is shown in Figure 6. The Power-Flow Operating Map is consistent with a rated power of 2004 MWt as described in Reference [8]. The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) lines are described in Section 9.0 of this report.
Region I in Figure 6 is the Scram Region and Region II is the Controlled Entry Region. These two regions are applicable when the OPRM Upscale Trip is INOPERABLE NAD-MN-053, Monticello Cycle 32 COLR, Revision 0 Page 9 of 26

8.0 Fuel Rod Heat Generation Rate 8.1 Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR) as a Function of Exposure The MAPLHGR limits in Table 2 and Table 3 are conservative values bounding all fuel lattice types in a given fuel bundle design and are intended only for use to determine bounding thermal limits as described below to establish MAPLHGR limits for Technical Specification 3.2.1. No channel bow effects are included in the bounding MAPLHGR values in these tables as there are no reused channels.
MAPLHGR limits for the ATRIUM 10XM fuel and ATRIUM 11 fuel are determined based on the approved methodology referenced in Monticello Technical Specification 5.6.3.b and are loaded into the process computer for use in core monitoring calculations.
To determine bounding MAPLHGR limits:
8.1.1 Single and Two-Recirculation Loop Operation (MAPLHGR)
At rated core thermal power and core flow conditions, the MAPLHGR value for each fuel bundle design as a function of average planar exposure shall not exceed the bounding limits provided in Table 2 through Table 3.
The MAPLHGR limit for single (SLO) and two recirculation loop (TLO) operation are determined as follows:
- 1. For ATRIUM 10XM:
- 2. For ATRIUM 11:
Straight line interpolation between nearest data points is permitted only within each individual Table from Table 2 through Table 3 8.2 Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)
For ATRIUM 10XM fuel, the LHGR limits provided in Table 4 are applicable to all ATRIUM 10XM fuel in Cycle 32. The LHGR limits are provided as a function of fuel rod peak pellet exposure.
The LHGR limits are fuel rod nodal limits and are to be applied at every node of the fuel rod including the natural uranium lattices. There are no separate single loop operation specific multipliers applicable to LHGR, as such TLO and SLO limits are the same.
For ATRIUM 11 fuel, the LHGR limits provided in Table 5 are applicable to all ATRIUM 11 fuel in Cycle 32. The LHGR limits are provided as a function of fuel rod peak pellet exposure. The LHGR limits are fuel rod nodal limits and are to be applied at every node of the fuel rod including the natural uranium lattices. There are no separate single loop operation specific multipliers applicable to LHGR, as such TLO and SLO limits are the same.
The individual LHGR limits for the uranium dioxide and gadolinia fuel rods in each fuel bundle type used in Cycle 32, as a function of axial location and pellet exposure are determined based NAD-MN-053, Monticello Cycle 32 COLR, Revision 0 Page 11 of 26
on the approved methodology referenced in Monticello Technical Specification 5.6.3.b and are loaded into the process computer for use in core monitoring calculations.
The LHGR limits are presented in this report for use to determine bounding thermal limits to demonstrate compliance with Technical Specification 3.2.3.
To determine bounding LHGR limits:
8.2.1 Single and Two-Recirculation Loop Operation (LHGR)
At rated core thermal power and core flow conditions, the LHGR limit for each fuel bundle design as a function of peak pellet exposure and fuel pin type shall not exceed the bounding limits provided in Table 4 and Table 5.
LHGR limits are adjusted for off-rated core thermal power and core flow conditions as follows:
- 1. For ATRIUM 10XM calculate the minimum of:
- a. LHGR(P) = LHGRFAC(P)
- LHGR limit from Table 4 where LHGRFAC(P) comes from Figure 1.
- b. LHGR(F) = LHGRFAC(F)
- LHGR limit from Table 4 where LHGRFAC(F) comes from Figure 2.
- 2. For ATRIUM 11 calculate the minimum of:
- a. LHGR(P) = LHGRFAC(P)
- LHGR limit from Table 5 where LHGRFAC(P) comes from Figure 1.
- b. LHGR(F) = LHGRFAC(F)
- LHGR limit from Table 5 where LHGRFAC(F) comes from Figure 2.
8.3 Pressure Regulator Out of Service (PROOS) Operation The Pressure Regulator Failure Down-Scale (PRFDS) event without backup pressure regulator was evaluated for Monticello in Reference [6]. The results show for both ATRIUM 10XM and ATRIUM 11 the MAPLHGR limits are unchanged from Section 8.1, and the LHGR limits are unchanged from Section 8.2.
The MCPR limits for the PROOS event are discussed in Section 5.4.

9.0 Core Stability Requirements 9.1 Stability Best-estimate BE0-111 Solution Monticello has implemented the Framatome Best-estimate Enhanced Option Ill (BEO-11I) Long Term Stability solution using the Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) as described in Reference [9]. Exposure points are analyzed to provide margin to MCPR and Independent Channel Oscillation at a 95/95 confidence level. The Cycle 32 Best-estimate Enhanced Option Ill (BEO-11I) Stability Evaluation is documented in Reference [6]. A Backup Stability Protection (BSP) evaluation is also documented in Reference [6].
Reference:
Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 9.2 Best-estimate Enhanced Option Ill OPRM Setpoints A reload Best-estimate Enhanced Option Ill evaluation has been performed in accordance with the licensing methodology described in Reference [9].
The OPRM setpoints for Two Loop Operation (TLO) are conservative relative to Single Loop Operation (SLO) and are, therefore, bounding. The OPRM Period Based Detection Algorithm (PBDA) instrumentation setpoints for use in Technical Specification LCO 3.3.1.1 Table 3.3.1.1-1 Function 2f shall not exceed the following:
Table 6 L"1cense d OPRM A mp,rt ud e S e:pom t . t Confirmation Count OPRM Amplitude Setpoint Setpoint 20 1.24
Reference:
Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 9.3 Backup Stability Protection Regions The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) regions are shown in Figure 6. The BSP regions are an integral part of the Tech Spec-required alternative method to detect and suppress thermal hydraulic instability oscillations in that they identify areas of the power/flow map where there is an increased probability that the reactor core could experience a thermal hydraulic instability.
Regions are identified that are either excluded from planned entry and continued operation (Scram Region), or where planned entry is not permitted unless specific operating restrictions are met and specific actions are required to be taken to immediately leave the region following inadvertent or forced entry (Controlled Entry Region). The boundaries of these regions are established on a cycle-specific basis based upon core decay ratio calculations (Reference [6])
performed using NRG-approved methodology The BSP regions are only applicable when the Upscale Trip function of the OPRM is inoperable.
However, immediate action is required to leave Region I even if the OPRMs are operable. The BSP region boundaries were calculated for Monticello Cycle 32 for nominal feedwater temperature conditions. The endpoints of the regions are defined in Table 7. The region boundaries shown in Figure 6 are defined using the Generic Shape Function (GSF), which is described in Reference [9].

Reference:
Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 9.4 Actions For Entry Into Scram Region If the Upscale Trip function of the OPRM is inoperable, initiate immediate manual scram upon determination that Region I has been entered. If entry is unavoidable, early scram initiation is appropriate.
9.5 Actions For Entry Into Controlled Entry Region If the Upscale Trip function of the OPRM is inoperable, and entry into Region II is inadvertent or forced, immediate exit from region is required. The region can be exited by control rod insertion or core flow increase. Increasing the core flow by restarting an idle recirculation pump is not an acceptable method of exiting the region.
Deliberate entry into the Controlled Entry Region requires compliance with at least one of the stability controls outlined below:
- 1. Maintain core average boiling boundary (BB) :::. 4.0 feet.
- 2. Maintain core decay ratio (DR) < 0.6 as calculated by an on-line stability monitor.
- 3. Continuous dedicated monitoring of real time control room neutron monitoring instrumentation with manual scram required upon indication of a reactor instability induced power oscillation.
Caution is required whenever operating near the Controlled Entry Region boundary (i.e.,
within approximately 10% of core power or core flow), and it is recommended that the amount of time spent operating near this region be minimized.
Reference:
Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 10.0 Turbine Bypass System Response Time The TURBINE BYPASS SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME shall be that time interval from when the main turbine trip solenoid is activated until 80% of the turbine bypass capacity is established.
The TURBINE BYPASS SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME shall be:;;; 1.1 seconds.
