Subject:
Unit 2 Cycle 15 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR)
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the Exelon Generation Company, LLC (EGC) review and approval of the LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 15 reload under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59, "Changes, tests and experiments," and to transmit Revision 1 of the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) for Cycle 15, consistent with Generic Letter 88-16, "Removal of Cycle-Specific Parameter Limits From Technical Specifications." This report is being submitted in accordance with LaSalle County Station Technical Specification (TS) 5.6.5, "Core Operating Limits (COLR)," item d.
The reload licensing analyses performed for Cycle 15 utilized NRC approved methodologies.
The Unit 2 Cycle 15 core, which consists of NRC approved fuel designs developed by AREVA NP Inc. and Global Nuclear Fuel - Americas, LLC (GNF7A) was designed to operate within approved fuel design criteria provided in the Technical Specifications and related TS Bases.
The core operating characteristics are bounded by the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) allowable limits.
Some of the information in the Unit 2 Cycle 15 COLR (Revision 1) is proprietary to GNF-A, and is supported by a signed affidavit from the owner of the information. The affidavit, which is provided within the applicable document, sets forth the basis on which the information may be withheld from public disclosure by the NRC, and addresses with specificity the considerations listed in paragraph (b)(4) of 10 CFR 2.390, "Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding."
Accordingly, it is respectfully requested that the information be withheld from public disclosure in accordance with 10 CFR 2.390. A non-proprietary version of the Unit 2 Cycle 15 COLR is provided.
EGC has performed a review of the relevant reload licensing documents, associated TS Bases, and references in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59. This review concluded that the reload does not require NRC review and approval.
