Shutdown Margin (SDM)

Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)

Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits Linear Heat Rate (LHR) T Total Planar RadialPeaking Factor (FxyT) T Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (Fr)

Axial Shape Index (ASI)

Reactor Protective System (RPS) Instrumentation - Operating Boron Concentration In addition, this report contains a number of figures which give limits on the parameters listed above. If any of the limits contained in this report are exceeded, corrective action will be taken as defined in the Technical Specifications.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specifications.

The cycle specific limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies given in the "List of Approved Methodologies" section of this report and in the Technical Specifications.

COLR Revision 0 Initial release of the Unit 1 Cycle 19 (U1C19) COLR per Safety Evaluation SE00499 Revision 0. U1C19 is only allowed to operate in Modes 5, 6 or in a defueled condition.

Although U 1C 19 is only authorized to enter Modes 5, 6, and defueled conditions, limits presented within this COLR relate to some parameters only applicable to operation in higher plant modes.

COLR Revision 1 An alternate core loading pattern has been authorized for U IC 19 per SE00499 Revision 1.

U 1C 19 is only allowed to operate in Modes 6 or in a defueled condition. Although U 1C 19 is only authorized to enter Mode 6 and defueled conditions, limits presented within this COLR relate to some parameters only applicable to operation in higher plant modes.

COLR Revision 2 U1C 19 (with the alternate core loading pattern) is now authorized to operate in plant modes 4, 5, 6, and defueled conditions per SE00499 Revision 2. Although all plant modes are not authorized at this time, limits presented within this COLR relate to some parameters only applicable to operation in higher plant modes.

COLR Revision 3 U 1C 19 (with the alternate core loading pattern) is now authorized to operate in all plant modes per SE00499 Revision 3.

COLR Revision 4 The Refueling Boron Concentration (RBC) requirement was revised to support the end-of-cycle 2010 refueling outage. The minimum required RBC was taken from CA06902, approved under ES200500588-000, Revision 3.

DEFINITIONS Axial Shape Index (ASI)

ASI shall be the power generated in the lower half of the core less the power generated in the upper half of the core, divided by the sum of the power generated in the lower and upper halves of the core.

ASI - lower- upper = YE lower + upper The Axial Shape Index (YI) used for the trip and pretrip signals in the Reactor Protection System (RPS) is the above value (YE) modified by an appropriate multiplier (A) and a constant (B) to determine the true core axial power distribution for that channel.

YI=AYE + B Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor - FrT The Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor is the ratio of the peak pin power to the average pin power in an unrodded core.

T Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor - Fxy The Total Planar Radial PeakingFactor is the maximum ratio of the peak to average power density of the individual fuel rods in any of the unrodded horizontal planes.

CYCLE SPECIFIC LIMITS FOR UNIT 1, CYCLE 19 "3.1.1 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (SR 3.1.1.1)

Tavg > 200 OF - Modes 3 and 4:

The shutdown margin shall be equal to or greater than the limit line of COLR Figure 3.1.1.

Tavg *200 'F - Mode 5:

The shutdown margin shall be > 3.0% Ap.

3.1.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) (SR 3.1.3.2)

The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) shall be less negative than -3.0 x 104 Ap/°F at rated thermal power.

3.1.4 Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment (Action 3.1.4.B.1)

The allowable time to realign a CEA may be provided by the full core power distribution monitoring system (Better Axial Shape Selection System - BASSS) or COLR Figure 3.1.4, "Allowable Time to Realign CEA Versus Initial Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (FrT). If COLR Figure 3.1.4 is used, the pre-misaligned F, value used to determine the allowable time to realign the CEA shall be the latest measurement taken within 5 days prior to theCEA misalignment. If no measurements have been taken within 5 days prior to the misalignment and the full core power distribution monitoring system is unavailable then the time to realign is zero (0) minutes.

3.1.6 Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits (SR 3.1.6.1 and SR 3.1.6.2)

The regulating CEA groups insertion limits are shown on COLR Figure 3.1.6.

3.2.1 Linear Heat Rate (LHR) (SR 3.2.1.2 and SR 3.2.1.4)

The linear heat rate shall not exceed the limits shown on COLR Figure 3.2.1-1.

The axial shape index power dependent control limits are given in COLR Figure 3.2.1-2.

When usiny the excore detector monitoring system (SR 3.2.1.2):

The alarm setpoints are equal to the ASI limits; therefore when the alarms are adjusted, they provide indication to the operator that ASI is not within the limits.

The axial shape index alarm setpoints are shown as a function of fraction of thermal power on COLR Figure 3.2.1-2. A scaling factor (N-Factor) vs. F YT is shown in COLR Figure 3.2.1-3.

The fraction of thermal power shown in COLR Figure 3.2.1-2 must be scaled by the N-Factor to determine the axial shape index alarm setpoints as a function of fraction of rated thermal power.

0 Calvert Cliffs 1, Cycle 19 COLR Page 6 of 25 Rev. 3

CYCLE SPECIFIC LIMITS FOR UNIT 1, CYCLE 19 When using the incore detector monitoring system (SR 3.2.1.4):

The alarm setpoints are adjusted to protect the Linear Heat Rate limits shown on COLR Figure 3.2.1-1 and uncertainty factors are appropriately included in the setting of these alarms.

The uncertainty factors for the incore detector monitoring system are:

I. A measurement-calculational uncertainty factor of 1.062,

2. An engineering uncertainty factor of 1.03,

3. A linear heat rate uncertainty factor of 1.002 due to axial fuel densification and thermal expansion, and 4.a For measured thermal power less than or equal to 50 percent but greater than 20 percent of rated full core power a thermal power measurement uncertainty factor of 1.035.

4.b For measured thermal power greater than 50 percent of rated full core power a thermal power measurement uncertainty factor of 1.020.

The axial shape index and thermal power shall be maintained within the limits established by the Better Axial Shape Selection System (BASSS) for CEA insertions of the lead bank of

< 55% when BASSS is operable, or within the limits of COLR Figure 3.2.5 for CEA insertions specified by COLR Figure 3.1.6.

3.3.1 Reactor Protective System (RPS) Instrumentation - Operating (Reactor Trip Setpoints) (TS Table 3.3.1-1)

The Axial Power Distribution - High trip setpoint and allowable values are given in COLR Figure 3.3.1-1.

The Thermal Margin/Low Pressure (TMILP) trip setpoint is given in COLR Figures 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3. The allowable values are to be not less than the larger of (1) 1875 psia or (2) the value calculated from COLR Figures 3.3.1-2 and 3.3.1-3.

3.9.1 Boron Concentration (SR 3.9.1.1)

The refueling boron concentration will maintain the kff at 0.95 or less (including a 1%

Ak/k conservative allowance for uncertainties). The refueling boron concentration shall be maintained uniform. For Mode 6 operation the RCS temperature must be maintained < 140'F.

U1C19 Refueling Boron Concentration Limits O #reitedEs (

Post-Refueling UGS or RV Head Lift Height No Restriction Restrictions.

Minimum Required Refueling Boron Concentration:

This number includes:

• Chemistry Sampling Uncertainty

• Boron- 10 Depletion Allowance > 2300 ppm[1][2]

• Margin for dilution of refueling pool between low and high level alarms

• Unlimited number of temporary rotations of fuel assemblies

• Extra Conservatism for empty locations during refueling operations.

Notes: [1] The limit in the above table represents the minimum required refueling boron concentration. It is acceptable for NEOP-13 to conservatively specify higher values.

[2] The Ul Cl19 EOC minimum refueling boron concentration is documented in, and was approved as part of, ES200500588-000 Revision 3. This refueling boron concentration is 50 ppm higher than the forthcoming U1C20 BOC minimum refueling boron concentration that credits 72 CEAs.
