Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels Non-Proprietary Information Submitted in P3C17 Core Operating Limits Report Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 COLR PEACH BOTTOM 3 Rev. 3 Page 5 of 22 2.0 General Information This report provides the following cycle-specific parameter limits for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 Cycle 17 (Reload 16):

  • Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR)
  • Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR)
  • ARTS MCPR thermal limit adjustments and multipliers
  • Single Loop Operation (SLO) MCPR adjustment
  • Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)
  • Single Loop Operation (SLO) LHGR multipliers
  • Rod Block Monitor (RBM) Analytical Limits, Allowable Values and MCPR Limits
  • Dual Loop Stability Protection - Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) Trip Setpoints
  • Single Loop Stability Protection - Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) Trip Setpoints
  • Asymmetric Feedwater Temperature Operation (AFTO) thermal limit penalties These values have been determined using NRC-approved methodology and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met.

This report provides cycle-specific Operating Limit MCPR, LHGR, MAPLHGR thermal limits, and related information for the following conditions:

  • All points in the operating region of the power/flow map including Maximum Extended Load Line Limit (MELLL) down to 82.9% of rated core flow during full power (3514 MWt) operation
  • Increased Core Flow (ICF), up to 110% of rated core flow
  • End-of-Cycle Power Coastdown to a minimum power level of 40%
  • Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) between End-of-Rated (EOR) and End-of-Cycle (EOC) to 900 F temperature reduction maintaining < 100% load line
  • Asymmetric Feedwater Temperature Operation (AFTO)

ARTS provides for power-and flow-dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers that allow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR and LHGR thermal limits. The OLMCPR for each fuel type is determined by the cycle-specific reload analyses in Reference (2). Rated LHGR values are obtained from the bundle-specific thermal-mechanical analysis. Supporting documentation for the ARTS-based limits is provided in References (2, 8, 9, 11, 18 and 20). The Allowable Values, documented in Reference (8), for feedwater temperature as a function of thermal power for both FWHOOS and FFWTR are specified in the appropriate Peach Bottom procedures.

Also note that the following description of MAPLHGR, LHGR and MCPR limits pertain to NON - AFTO conditions. A separate description of AFTO limits and their associated ARTS tables are located in Section 10.

Preparation of this report was performed in accordance with Exelon Nuclear procedures. This report is submitted in accordance with Technical Specification 5.6.5 of Reference (1) and contains all thermal limit parameters related to the implementation of the ARTS Improvement Program and Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Analyses (ARTS/MELLLA) for Peach Bottom Unit 3 Cycle 17.

The MAPLHGR limits comprise a given fuel type as a function of average planar exposure. The MAPLHGR tables are used when hand calculations are required. All MAPLHGR values for each fuel type as a function of axial location and average planar exposure shall be less than or equal to the applicable MAPLHGR limits for the respective fuel and lattice types. These MAPLHGR limits are specified in References (2 and 24) and the process computer databank. The SLO MAPLHGR multiplier is applied as shown in Table 3-3 per Reference 2. This value is based on the limiting GEl4 product line. The impact of AFTO on MAPLHGR is addressed in Section 10.

The Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR) for GNF2 is provided in Table 4-2. These values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference (2). Control rod scram time verification is required as per Technical Specification 3.1.4, "Control Rod Scram Times". Tau, a measure of scram time performance to notch position 36 throughout the cycle, is determined based on the cumulative scram time test results. The calculation of Tau shall be performed in accordance with site procedures.

Linear interpolation shall be used to calculate the OLMCPR value if Tau is between 0.0 (Tau Option B) and 1.0 (Tau Option A).

Separate OLMCPR values are presented in Table 4-1 and Table 4-2 for the following domains:

"TBVs In-Service (seven or more in-service) and RPT In-Service, maximum FWTR of 90 'F

" TBVs Out-of-Service (three or more out-of-service) and RPT In-Service, maximum FWTR of 90 'F

" TBVs In-Service (seven or more in-service) and RPT Out-of-Service, maximum FWTR of 90 'F The ARTS-based power-dependent MCPR limits are provided in Table 4-3. Table 4-3 is valid for a maximum temperature reduction of 90 'F for FWTR operation. The flow-dependent MCPR limits are provided in Table 4-4. Table 4-4 is valid for all operating conditions with symmetric feedwater temperature operation. The impact of AFTO on MCPR is addressed in Section 10.

A total RPT response time of 0.175 seconds is assumed in the safety analysis for both trips and is defined as the time from the turbine valves (TCV or TSV) start to close until complete arc suppression of the EOC-RPT circuit breakers. Reference (10) provides the basis for the RPT response time.

Asymmetric feedwater heating (resulting from removing a heater string, or individual feedwater heaters, from operation) is the result of the specific configuration of the feedwater lines at Peach Bottom. A reduction in heating in either the 'A' or the 'C' heater strings will result in a temperature mismatch between the feedwater flows entering the opposite sides of the reactor vessel. Asymmetric feedwater temperature operation (AFTO) is defined as operation in a feedwater heater/string configuration that results in a specified threshold difference as described in Reference 14. This threshold is a function of power and flow. The curve of the threshold values is incorporated in the station procedures that govern AFTO.

LHGR LIMITS The ARTS-based LHGR power-dependent multipliers for AFTO operation are provided in Table 10-1. The flow-dependent multipliers for AFTO are provided in Tables 10-2 as a function of the number of recirculation loops in operation only. The power-and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers were obtained from References (2, 8, 9, 13, and 20) and were adjusted with a 7% penalty as per Reference (13). The SLO multiplier and the AFTO multiplier must be simultaneously applied.

(2) For single-loop operation, the MCPR operating limit is 0.02 greater than the two loop value except when the Two Loop Operation MCPR operating limit is less than 1.38 (consistent with Reference 15 and 2). The AFTO multiplier must be included in this limit and therefore 1.44 is used to maintain compliance with the limit.

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels Non-Proprietary Information Submitted in P3C17 Core Operating Limits Report Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 COLR PEACH BOTTOM 3 Rev. 3 Page 20 of 22 MAPLHGR LIMITS A 7% penalty is applied to all MAPLHGR limits for all conditions under asymmetric feedwater temperature operation (AFTO) as per Reference (13). For single-loop operation, the AFTO multiplier is also applied to the MAPLHGR limits. The SLO multiplier in Table 3-3 and the AFTO multiplier in Table 10-7 must be simultaneously applied. Therefore, the SLO MAPLHGR multiplier is clamped at the value shown in Table 10-8 to ensure peak clad temperatures are maintained within the limits of the cycle-specific LOCA analysis for single recirculation loop and asymmetric feedwater temperature operation.
