Reference:

Sections 3.2.1 and 3.4.1.

3.2

Description:

Table 3-1 is used to determine the maximum average planar linear heat generation rate (MAPLHGR) limit for each fuel type. Limits listed in Table 3-1 are for dual reactor recirculation loop operation (DLO).

For single reactor recirculation loop operation (SLO), the MAPLHGR limits given in Table 3-1 must be multiplied by a SLO MAPLHGR multiplier provided in Table 3-2. The SLO MAPLHGR multiplier for all fuel is 0.76 (Reference 3).

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels DOC ID: COLR Clinton I Rev. 4 CLIC13 Core Operating Limits Report Non-Proprietary Information Submitted in Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 4.0 MCPR Limits 4.1 Technical Specification

Reference:

Sections 3.2.2 and 3.4.1 4.2

Description:

The various MCPR limits are described below.

4.2.1 Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR) is determined from either section 4.2.1.1 or 4.2.1.2, whichever is greater atany given power and flow condition.

4.2.1.1 Power-Dependent MCPR For operation less than or equal to 33.3% core thermal power, the MCPR(P) as a function of core thermal power is shown in Table 4-2. For operation at greater than 33.3% core thermal power, the OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power is determined by multiplying the applicable rated condition OLMCPR limit shown in Table 4-1 by the applicable MCPR multiplier K(P) given in Table 4-2.

4.2.1.2 Flow-Dependent MCPR Tables 4-3 and 4-4 give the MCPR(F) as a function of flow based on the applicable plant condition. The limits for dual loop operation are listed in Table 4-3. The limits for single loop operation are listed in Table 4-4. The MCPR(F) determined from these tables is the flow dependent OLMCPR.

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

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels DOC ID: COLR Clinton I Rev. 4 CLLC13 Core Operating Limits Report Non-Proprietary Information Submitted in Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 4.2.3 Option A and Option B Option A and Option B refer to use of scram speeds for establishing MCPR operating limits.

Option A scram speed is the BWR/6 Technical Specification scram speed. The Technical Specification scram speeds must be met to utilize the Option A MCPR limits.

Reload analyses performed by GNF for Cycle 13 Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20%

core average insertion time of 0.516 seconds (Reference 12).

To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed, the cycle average scram insertion time for 20% insertion must satisfy equation 2 in Reference 5 Section 4. If the cycle average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, the appropriate MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits as specified by equation 4 in Reference 5 Section 4.

4.2.4 Recirculation Flow Control Valve Settings Cycle 13 was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 109%; therefore the recirculation flow control valve must be set to maintain core flow less than 109%

(92.105 Mlb/hr) for all runout events (Reference 11).

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels DOC ID: COLR Clinton 1 Rev. 4 CLLC13 Core Operating Limits Report Non-Proprietary Information Submitted in Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 5.0 Linear Heat Generation Rate Limits 5.1 Technical Specification

Reference:

Section 3.2.3 and 3.4.1.

5.2

Description:

The linear heat generation rate (LHGR) limit is the product of the exposure dependent LHGR limit (from Table 5-1 for U02 fuel rods and Table 5-2 for Gadolinia fuel rods) and the minimum of: the power dependent LHGR Factor, LHGRFAC(P), the flow dependent LHGR Factor, LHGRFAC(F), or the single loop operation (SLO) multiplication factor ifapplicable. The LHGRFAC(P) is determined from Table 5-3. The LHGRFAC(F) is determined from Table 5-4.

The SLO multiplication factor can be found in Table 5-5. Tables 5-1 and 5-2 are the LHGR limit as a function of peak pellet exposure.

The Gadolinia fuel rod limits referenced in Table 5-2 are the most limiting Gadolinia fuel rods.

The most limiting values are provided here as a convenience and do not imply that all the Gadolinia fuel rods must satisfy the listed values.

For Loss of 'FULL' Feedwater Heating (+/-10 *F of design NORMAL temperature), LHGRFAC(P) is determined from Table 5-6 and LHGRFAC(F) is determined from Table 5-7. Concurrent operation with SLO and reduced feedwater heating has not been evaluated and thus is not a valid operating mode. (References 3, 7, 8, 9 and 10)

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels CL1C13 Core Operating Limits Report Non-Proprietary Information submitted in DOC ID: COLR Clinton 1 Rev. 4 Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 Appendix A Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas AFFIDAVIT I, Anthony P. Reese, state as follows:

(1) I am Manager, Reload Design & Analysis, Global Nuclear Fuel-Americas, LLC ("GNF-A"), and have been delegated the function of reviewing the information described in paragraph (2) which is sought to be withheld, and have been authorized to apply for its withholding.

(2) The information sought to be withheld is contained in the GNF proprietary report, 0000-0099-4244-FBIR-P, Fuel Bundle Information Report for Clinton Power Station Unit 1 Reload 12 Cycle 13, Class III, (GNF-A Proprietary Information), Revision 0, dated December 2009. The GNF proprietary information in 0000-0099-4244-FBIR-P is identified by a dotted underline inside double square brackets. ((This sentence is an exampjl;e ...!!)) A

"((" marking at the beginning of a table, figure, or paragraph closed with a "))" marking at the end of the table, figure or paragraph is used to indicate that the entire content between the double brackets is proprietary. In each case, the superscript notation J31 refers to Paragraph (3) of this affidavit, which provides the basis for the proprietary determination.

(3) In making this application for withholding of proprietary information of which it is the owner or licensee, GNF-A relies upon the exemption from disclosure set forth in the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), 5 USC Sec. 552(b)(4), and the Trade Secrets Act, 18 USC Sec. 1905, and NRC regulations 10 CFR 9.17(a)(4), and 2.390(a)(4) for "trade secrets" (Exemption 4). The material for which exemption from disclosure is here sought also qualify under the narrower definition of "trade secret", within the meanings assigned to those terms for purposes of FOIA Exemption 4 in, respectively, Critical Mass Energy Project v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, 975F2d871 (DC Cir. 1992), and Public Citizen Health Research Group v. FDA, 704F2dl280 (DC Cir. 1983).

(4) Some examples of categories of information which fit into the definition of proprietary information are:

a. Information that discloses a process, method, or apparatus, including supporting data and analyses, where prevention of its use by GNF-A's competitors without license from GNF-A constitutes a competitive economic advantage over other companies;
b. Information which, if used by a competitor, would reduce his expenditure of resources or improve his competitive position in the design, manufacture, shipment, installation, assurance of quality, or licensing of a similar product;
c. Information which reveals aspects of past, present, or future GNF-A customer-funded development plans and programs, resulting in potential products to GNF-A;
d. Information which discloses patentable subject matter for which it may be desirable to obtain patent protection.

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels CL1C13 Core Operating Limits Report Non-Proprietary Information submitted in DOC ID: COLR Clinton 1 Rev. 4 Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 Appendix A The information sought to be withheld is considered to be proprietary for the reasons set forth in paragraphs (4)a. and (4)b. above.

(5) To address 10 CFR 2.390 (b) (4), the information sought to be withheld is being submitted to NRC in confidence. The information is of a sort customarily held in confidence by GNF-A, and is in fact so held. The information sought to be withheld has, to the best of my knowledge and belief, consistently been held in confidence by GNF-A, no public disclosure has been made, and it is not available in public sources. All disclosures to third parties including any required transmittals to NRC, have been made, or must be made, pursuant to regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements which provide for maintenance of the information in confidence. Its initial designation as proprietary information, and the subsequent steps taken to prevent its unauthorized disclosure, are as set forth in paragraphs (6) and (7) following.

(6) Initial approval of proprietary treatment of a document is made by the manager of the originating component, the person most likely to be acquainted with the value and sensitivity of the information in relation to industry knowledge, or subject to the terms under which it was licensed to GNF-A. Access to such documents within GNF-A is limited on a "need to know" basis.

(7) The procedure for approval of external release of such a document typically requires review by the staff manager, project manager, principal scientist or other equivalent authority, by the manager of the cognizant marketing function (or his delegate), and by the Legal Operation, for technical content, competitive effect, and determination of the accuracy of the proprietary designation. Disclosures outside GNF-A are limited to regulatory bodies, customers, and potential customers, and their agents, suppliers, and licensees, and others with a legitimate need for the information, and then only in accordance with appropriate regulatory provisions or proprietary agreements.

(8) The information identified in paragraph (2) is classified as proprietary because it contains details of GNF-A's fuel design and licensing methodology.

The development of the methods used in these analyses, along with the testing, development and approval of the supporting methodology was achieved at a significant cost to GNF-A or its licensor.

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels CL1C13 Core Operating Limits Report Non-Proprietary Information submitted in DOC ID: COLR Clinton 1 Rev. 4 Accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 Appendix A (9) Public disclosure of the information sought to be withheld is likely to cause substantial harm to GNF-A's competitive position and foreclose or reduce the availability of profit-making opportunities. The information is part of GNF-A's comprehensive BWR safety and technology base, and its commercial value extends beyond the original development cost.

The value of the technology base goes beyond the extensive physical database and analytical methodology and includes development of the expertise to determine and apply the appropriate evaluation process. In addition, the technology base includes the value derived from providing analyses done with NRC-approved methods.

The research, development, engineering, analytical, and NRC review costs comprise a substantial investment of time and money by GNF-A.

The precise value of the expertise to devise an evaluation process and apply the correct analytical methodology is difficult to quantify, but it clearly is substantial.

GNF-A's competitive advantage will be lost if its competitors are able to use the results of the GNF-A experience to normalize or verify their own process or if they are able to claim an equivalent understanding by demonstrating that they can arrive at the same or similar conclusions.

The value of this information to GNF-A would be lost if the information were disclosed to the public. Making such information available to competitors without their having been required to undertake a similar expenditure of resources would unfairly provide competitors with a windfall, and deprive GNF-A of the opportunity to exercise its competitive advantage to seek an adequate return on its large investment in developing and obtaining these very valuable analytical tools.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing affidavit and the matters stated therein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief.

Executed on this 7 th day of December 2009.

1. Introduction and Summary This report, which supplements the Supplemental Reload Licensing Report, contains thermal-mechanical linear heat generation rate (LHGR) limits for the GNF-A fuel designs to be loaded into Clinton Power Station Unit 1 for Cycle 13. These LHGR limits are obtained from thermal-mechanical considerations.

only. Approved GNF-A calculation models documented in Reference 1 were used in performing this analysis.

LHGR limits as a function of exposure for each bundle of the core design are given in Appendix A. The LHGR values provided in Appendix A provide upper and lower exposure dependent LHGR boundaries which envelope the actual gadolinia dependent LHGR limits. The LHGRs reported have been rounded to two places past the decimal.

Appendix B contains a description of the fuel bundles. Table B-1 contains a summary of bundle-specific information, and the figures provide the enrichment distribution and gadolinium distribution for the fuel bundles included in this appendix. These bundles have been approved for use under the fuel licensing acceptance criteria of Reference 1.
