Revision 1.

SER Date: October 1, 2002 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 NRC approved methodologies specified in Section 1.1.

2.1 Requirements for Operational Mode 6 The following condition is Tequired for operational mode 6.

2.1.1 The Reactivity Condition requirement for operational mode 6 is that kd must be less than, or equal to 0.95.

2.2 Shutdown Margin - SDM (TS 3.1.1, TS 3.1.4, TS 3.1.5, TS 3.1.6 and TS 3.1.8) 2.2.1 For TS 3.1.1, SDM shall be> 1.3% AK/K in mode 2 with k-eff< 1.0 and in modes 3 and 4.

2.2.2 For TS 3.1.1, SDM shall be > 1.0% AK/K in mode 5.

2.2.3 For TS 3.1.4, SDM shall be > 1.3% AK/K in modes 1 and 2.

2.2.4 For TS 3.1.5, SDM shall be > 1.3% AK/K in mode I and mode 2 with any control bank not fully inserted.

2.2.5 For TS 3.1.6, SDM shall be > 1.3% AK/K in mode 1 and mode 2 with K-eff> 1.0.

2.2.6 For TS 3.1.8, SDM shall be > 1.3% AK/K in mode 2 during physics testing.

MCEI-040046 Page 9 of 29 Revision 25 McGuire I Cycle 16 Core Operating Limits Report 2.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient - MTC (TS 3.1.3) 2.3.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) Limits are:

The MTC shall be less positive than the upper limits shown in Figure 1. The BOC, ARO, HZP MTC shall be less positive than 0.7E-04 AK/K/0 F.

The EOC, ARO, RTP MTC shall be less negative than the -4.3E-04 AK/K/ 0 F lower MTC limit.

2.3.2 The 300 PPM MTC Surveillance Limit is:

The measured 300 PPM ARO, equilibrium RTP MTC shall be less negative than or equal to -3.65E-04 AK/K/F.

2.3.3 The 60 PPM MTC Surveillance Limit is:

The 60 PPM ARO, equilibrium RTP MTC shall be less negative than or equal to

-4.125E-04 AK/K/ 0 F.

Where, BOC = Beginning of Cycle (Burnup corresponding to the most positive MTC.)

EOC = End of Cycle ARO = All Rods Out HZP = Hot Zero Power RTP = Rated Thermal Power PPM = Parts per million (Boron) 2.4 Shutdown Bank Insertion Limit (TS 3.1.5) 2.4.1 Each shutdown bank shall be withdrawn to at least 226 steps. Shutdown banks are withdrawn in sequence and with no overlap.

2.5 Control Bank Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.6) 2.5.1 Control banks shall be within the insertion, sequence, and overlap limits shown in Figure 2. Specific control bank withdrawal and overlap limits as a function of the fully withdrawn position are shown in Table 1.
