1. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate 1.1 Technical Specification

Reference:

Sections 3.2.1 and 3.4.1.

1.2

Description:

Tables 1-1 and 1-2 are used to determine the maximum average planar linear heat generation rate (MAPLHGR) limit for each fuel type. Limits listed in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 are for Dual Reactor Recirculation Loop Operation.

For Single Reactor Recirculation Loop Operation (SLO), the MAPLHGR limits given in Tables 1-1 and 1-2 must be multiplied by a SLO MAPLHGR multiplier from Table 1-3.

Table 1-1 Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR) for All ATRIUM-9B Fuel ATRM9-P9DATB326-11 GZ-SPC80M-9W R-144-T6-2447 ATRM9-P9DATB326-1IGZ-SPC8OM-9WR-144-T6-2448 ATRM9-P9DATB339-6GZ-SPC80M-9WR-144-T6-2449 ATRM9-P9DATB362-12GZ-SPC100T-9WR-144-T6-2450 ATRM9-P9DATB360-12GZ-SPC100T-9WR-144-T6-2451 ATRM9-P9DATB378-13GZ-SPC100T-9WR-144-T6-2464 ATRM9-P9DATB378-11 GZ-SPCIOOT-gWR-144-T6-2465 (Reference 3 and 13)

2. Minimum Critical Power Ratio 2.1 Technical Specification

Reference:

Sections 3.2.2, 3.4.1 and 3.7.7.

2.2

Description:

The various MCPR limits are described below.

2.2.1 Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR) is determined from either section 2.2.1.1 or 2.2.1.2, whichever is greater at any given power and flow condition.

2.2.1.1 Power-Dependent MCPR For operation at less than 38.5% core thermal power, the OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power is shown in Table 2-3. For operation at greater than 38.5% core thermal power, the OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power is determined by multiplying the applicable EOOS condition limit shown in Table 2-1 or 2-2 by the applicable MCPR multiplier Kp given in Table 2-3. For operation at exactly 38.5% core thermal power, the OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power is the higher of either of the two aforementioned methods evaluated at exactly 38.5% core thermal power.

2.2.1.2 Flow-Dependent MCPR Tables 2-4 and 2-5 provide the MCPRF limit as a function of flow.

The MCPRF limit determined from these tables is the flow dependent OLMCPR.

2.2.2 Automatic Flow Control MCPR Limits Automatic Flow Control MCPR Limits are not provided.

(( GNF Proprietary Information enclosed by double brackets ))

2.2.3 Optiod A and Ontion B Option A and Option B refer to scram speeds.

Option A scram speed is the Improved Technical Specification scram speed. The core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to the Technical Specification Scram Speed to utilize Option A MCPR limits. Reload analyses performed by Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF) applicable for Cycle 18A Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20% core average insertion time of 0.900 seconds (Reference 7).

To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed, the core average scram insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to 0.694 seconds (Reference 7). If the core average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, but is within the Option A criteria, the appropriate MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits with standard mathematical rounding to two decimal places. When performing a linear interpolation to determine MCPR limits, ensure that the time used for Option A is 0.900 seconds, which is the 20% insertion time utilized by GNF in the reload analysis.

2.2.4 Recirculation Pump Motor Generator Settings Cycle 18A was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 110%;

therefore the Recirculation Pump Motor Generator scoop tube mechanical and electrical stops must be set to maintain core flow less than 110% (107.8 Mlb/hr) for all runout events (Reference 12 Section 15). This value is consistent with the analyses of Reference 5.

¶ Each OOS Option may be combined with up to 18 TIP channels OOS (provided the requirements for utilizing SUBTIP methodology are met) with all TIPS available at startup from a refuel outage, a 120OF reduction in feedwater temperature throughout the cycle (Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction was analyzed for the entire cycle which is subject to restrictions in Reference 21), and up to 50% of the LPRMs OOS with an LPRM calibration frequency of 2500 Effective Full Power Hours (EFPH) (2000 EFPH +25%).

2 Additionally, a single MSIV may be taken OOS (shut) under any and all OOS Options, so long as core thermal power is maintained S75% of 2957 MWt (Reference 11).

3All OOS Options support 1 Turbine Bypass Valve OOS, if the OPL-3 (Reference 7) assumed opening profile for the Turbine Bypass system is met. If the OPL-3 opening profile is not met, or if more than one Turbine Bypass Valve is OOS, utilize the TBPOOS condition.

4Coastdown operation is defined as any cycle exposure beyond the full power, all rods out condition with plant power slowly lowering to a lesser value while core flow is held constant (Reference 10 Section 4.3.1.2.8). Up to a 15% overpower is analyzed per Reference 5.

5 For operation with a pressure regulator out-of-service (PROOS), the TCV Slow Closure limits should be applied (Reference 18) and the operational notes from Reference 18 reviewed. PROOS and TCV Slow Closure is not an analyzed out-of-service combination.

6 Operation with one TSV OOS is allowed as evaluated in Reference 20. Combination of one TCV OOS and one TSV OOS is not allowed.
