1.0 INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this report is to provide the Core Operating Limits for Hope Creek Generation Station Unit 1 Cycle 13/ Reload 12 operation. In addition, this report will provide information on Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) setpoint, single recirculation loop operation, average scram speed and determination of the Core Maximum Fraction of Limiting Power Density. Finally, this report also provides a reference to the most recent revision of the implemented approved methodology. The limits presented here correspond to the core thermal limits for Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR), Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR), MCPR Flow Adjustment Factor (Kf) and Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR).

These operating limit values have been determined using NRC approved methods contained in GESTAR-II [1], NEDE-2401 1-P-A (Revision 14) and are established such that all applicable fuel thermal-mechanical, core thermal-hydraulic, ECCS, and nuclear limits such as shutdown margin, and transient and accident analysis limits are met.

Hope Creek Technical Specifications Section 3.2 references this report as the source for certain LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION. These are included in Section 2 of this document. Hope Creek Technical Specification 6.9.1.9 also requires that this report, including any mid cycle revisions, shall be provided, upon issuance, to the NRC.

This document is specific to Hope Creek Generating Station Unit I Cycle 13 / Reload 12 and shall not be applicable to any other core or cycle design. The thermal limits contained in this report are applicable whether the Crossflowlm correction factor is applied or not applied.

This report is applicable for Cycle 13 operation from the date of issuance through the end of effective full power capability or a cycle exposure of 11938 MJPld~1MYU (10830 Mkld/STU),

whichever occurs first [2]. End of effective full power capability is reached when 100%

rated power can no longer be maintained by increasing core flow (up to 105% of rated core flow), at rated feedwater temperatures, in the all-rods-out configuration.

NFS-0243 Revision 0 2.2 MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION The MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO (MCPR) shall be equal to or greater than the MCPR limit as computed from the following steps:

1. Determine T as defined in Appendix A.
2. Linearly interpolate a MCPR value as a function of t from the MCPR value at C=

0 and the MCPR value at T = 1 as specified in Table 2.2-1 and Table 2.2-2. The obtained value shall be checked with the value as shown in Figures 2.2-1 to 2.2-4.

3. When in single loop operation, add 0.02 to the MCPR value obtained from Step 2.
4. For core flow correction, first obtain Kf value by linearly interpolating from Table 2.2-3 and check the result with the curve shown in Figure 2.2-5. Multiply the MCPR value obtained from Step 2 (or Step 3 as required) by the Kf value.

Note that the MCPR limit is a function of core average scram speed ('[), cycle exposure, EOC-RPT operability, reactor coolant recirculation loop operation condition and main turbine bypass operability.

EOC-RPT system operability is defined by Hope Creek Technical Specification 3.3.4.2.

Reactor coolant recirculation loop operation condition is defined by Hope Creek Technical Specification 3.4.1.1.

Main Turbine Bypass operability is defined by Hope Creek Technical Specification 3.7.7.
