COLR for Watts Bar Unit 1, Cycle 5 1.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT This Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) for Watts Bar Unit 1 Cycle 5 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications 5.9.5.

The Technical Specifications affected by this report are listed below:

3.1.4 3.1.6 3.1.7 3.2.1 3.2.2 3.2.3 3.9.1 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MvfTC)

Shutdown Bank Insertion Limits Control Bank Insertion Limits Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor (FQ(Z))

Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor (FmN)

Axial Flux Difference (APD)

Boron Concentratioh 2.0 OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using the NRC approved methodologies specified in the Technical Specifications Section 5.9.5.

The following abbreviations are used in this section:

COLR for Watts Bar Unit 1, Cycle 5 2.1 MODERATOR TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT - MTC (LCO 8.1.4) 2.1.1 The MTC limits are:

The BOLIAROIHZP - MTC shall be less positive than or equal to 0 Ak/k/OF (upper limit). With the measured BOL/ARO/HZP - MTC more positive than

-0.50 x 10-5 Akk/k'F (as-measured MTC limit), establish control rod withdrawal limits to ensure the MTC remains less positive than or equal to 0 Ak/k/*F (upper limit) for all times in core life.

The EOUIARO/RTP - MTC shall be less negative than or equal to -4.5 x 10-4 Ak/k/OF (lower limit).

2.1.2 The 300 ppm surveillance limit is:

The measured 300 ppm /ARO/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or equal to -3.7.5 x 10-4 Ak/k/*F.

2.1.3 The 60 ppm surveillance limit is:

The measured 60 ppm /ARO/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or equal to -4.28 x 104 Ak/k/°F.

2.2 SHUTDOWN BANK INSERTION LIMITS (LCO 3.1.6) 2.2.1 The shutdown banks shall be withdrawn to a position greater than or equal to 225 steps withdrawn.

2.3 CONTROL BANK INSERTION LIMITS (LCO 3.1.7) 2.3.1 The control banks shall be limited in physical insertion as shown in Figure 1.

2.3.2 Table 1 shows the control rod overlap positions.

FQ(Z)* (CFQ / 0.5)

  • K(Z) for P> 0.5 for P5

  • 1.0815 where: FQM(Z) is the measured value of FQ(Z) obtained from incore flux map results and 1.0815 is a factor that accounts for fuel manufacturing tolerances and flux map measurement uncertainty.

2.4.4 FQw(Z) = FQc(Z)

  • W(Z) where:

W(Z) values are provided in Figures 4 through 7. The figures provide sufficient information to determine W(Z) versus core height for all cycle burnups.

2.4.5 FQu(Z)

Penalty Factor For all cycle burnups, FQw(Z) shall be increased by a factor of 1.02 for compliance with the 3.2.1.2.a Surveillance Requirement.
