1.0 Core Operating Limits Report This Core Operating Limits Report for Cycle 24 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.6.5 and is applicable to operation for which rated thermal power is 1912 MWt. The core operating limits have been developed using NRC-approved methodology (Reference 1) and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met.

The Cycle 24 values for the core operating limits are provided in Section 3.0 of this report.

3.0 Core Operating Limits 1 Averagqe Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) - TS 3.2.1

a. The Maximum APLHGR (MAPLHGR) as a function of Planar Average Exposure (PAE) shall not exceed the limiting curves defined by Table la for GE14 fuel and Table lb for GNF2 fuel, multiplied by the smaller of the two MAPFAC/LHGRFAC factors determined from Figures 3a and 4 [also use Figures 3a and 4 for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS); Figures 3b and 4 for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS); Figures 3c and 4 for RPTOOS and TBVOOS].

Figure la plots the MAPLHGR curve corresponding to Table la (GEl4 specific). Figure lb plots the MAPLHGR curve corresponding to Table 1 b (GNF2 specific).

b. The Maximum Linear Heat Generation Rate (MLHGR) as a function of Peak Pellet Exposure (PPE) shall not exceed the curves defined by Table 2a for GEl4 fuel rods and Table 2b for GNF2 fuel rods, multiplied by the smaller of the two MAPFAC/LHGRFAC factors determined from Figures 3a and 4 [also use Figures 3a and 4 for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS); Figures 3b and 4 for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS); Figures 3c and 4 for RPTOOS and TBVOOS]. Figure 2a plots the MLHGR curve for GEl4 U0 2 fuel rods corresponding to Table 2a. Figure 2b plots the MLHGR curve for GNF2 U0 2 fuel rods corresponding to Table 2b.
c. During Single Loop Operation (SLO), the actual MAPLHGR as a function of planar average exposure shall not exceed the limiting curves defined by Table la for GEl4 fuel and Table lb for GNF2 fuel, multiplied by the smaller of the two MAPFAC/LHGRFAC factors determined from Figures 3a and 5 [also use Figures 3a and 5 for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS); Figures 3b and 5 for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS); Figures 3c and 5 for RPTOOS and TBVOOS].
d. During Single Loop Operation (SLO), the actual MLHGR as a function of peak pellet exposure shall not exceed the limiting curves defined by Table 2a for all GE14 fuel rods and Table 2b for all GNF2 fuel rods, multiplied by the smaller of the two MAPFAC/LHGRFAC factors determined from Figures 3a and 5 [also use Figures 3a and 5 for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS); Figures 3b and 5 for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS); Figures 3c and 5 for RPTOOS and TBVOOS].

The above MAPLHGR limits are from the Emergency Core Cooling requirements of the Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA) analyses. The above MLHGR limits are from the fuel thermal-mechanical performance limits. The individual MAPLHGR and MLHGR limits, as discussed in the BASES for TS 3.2.1, are modeled in the process computer. The above can be used to determine the TS MAPLHGR or MLHGR limits in the event the process computer is not available.

2. Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) - TS 3.2.2
a. The MCPR shall be equal to or greater than the Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR), which is a function of Core Thermal Power, Core Flow, and Scram Time (Tau). For Core Thermal Power greater than or equal to 21.7% of rated and less than 40% of rated (21.7% < P < 40%), the OLMCPR is given by Figure 6a [also use Figure 6a for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS); Figure 6b for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS); Figure 6c for RPTOOS and TBVOOS].

For Core Thermal Power greater than or equal to 40% of rated (P > 40%),

the OLMCPR is the greater of either:

i) The applicable flow-dependent OLMCPR determined from Figure 7, or ii) The appropriate Rated Power OLMCPR from Figure 8 or 9 [Figure 10 for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS); Figure 11 for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS); Figure 12 for RPTOOS and TBVOOS], multiplied by the applicable power-dependent OLMCPR multiplier determined from Figure 6a [also use Figure 6a for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS);

Figure 6b for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS);

Figure 6c for RPTOOS and TBVOOS].

b. During SLO with Core Thermal Power greater than or equal to 21.7% of rated, the SLO OLMCPR is the greater of either:

i) adding 0.02 to the OLMCPR determined above, or ii) a rated OLMCPR of 1.43, multiplied by the applicable power-dependent OLMCPR multiplier determined from Figure 6a [also use Figure 6a for Recirculation Pump Trip Out-of-Service (RPTOOS);

Figure 6b for Turbine Bypass Valves Out-of-Service (TBVOOS);

Figure 6c for RPTOOS and TBVOOS].

The above can be used to determine the TS OLMCPR limits in the event the process computer is not available.

Note that the bundle GE14-P1ODNAB438-12G6.0-10OT-150-T6-2541 loaded in Cycle 23 is identical to the assembly of the same name that was loaded in Cycle 22.

5.0 Thermal-Hydraulic Stability

a. Continued reactor operation within the "Exclusion Region" on the power/flow map, as defined on Figure 13, is not permitted. (Surveillance Requirement 3.4.1.2)
b. Continued reactor operation within the "Buffer Region" on the power/flow map, as defined in Figure 13, is not permitted when the thermal-hydraulic stability monitor (SOLOMON) is not operational.
