MCEI-0400-47 Page 2 of 29 Revision 21 McGuire 2 Cycle 15 Core Operating Limits Report IMPLEMENTATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR REVISION 21 Revision 21 of the McGuire Unit 2 COLR contains limits specific to the McGuire 2 Cycle 15 core and may become effective any time during the no-mode between Cycles 14 and 15.

This revision must become effective prior to entering Mode 6 that starts Cycle 15.

This COLR revision also incorporates a list of reports describing the analytical methods used in determining core operating limits. This addition is based upon a pending Technical Specification Amendment that requires the COLR to contain a complete list of the Technical Specification 5.6.5 reference topical reports used for parameters contained in the COLR. Inclusion of the reference list alleviates the need to revise the COLR following NRC approval of the Technical Specification amendment.
