INTRODUCTION This report provides the cycle-specific limits for operation of Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, Cycle 21. It contains the limits for:

Shutdown Margin (SDM)

Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)

Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits Linear Heat Rate (LHR)

Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (Fr-T)

Axial Shape Index (ASI)

Reactor Protective System (RPS) Instrumentation - Operating RCS Pressure, Temperature, and Flow Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB) Limits 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 21 (UIC21) COLR per Safety Evaluation SE00512 Revision 0. U I C21 may operate in all plant modes.

The departure from nuclear boiling (DNB) values were removed from the Technical Specifications section 3.4.1 and added to the COLR. This was approved by the NRC in a letter from Douglas V. Pickett (NRC) to George H. Gellrich (CE), entitled "Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, Unit Nos. I and 2 amendment, Re: Technical Specification Task Force Traveler 487-a, Revision 1, Relocate DNB parameters to the COLR (TAC Nos. ME7086 and ME7087)," dated January 11,2012.

COLR Revision 1 Revision I of the Unit I Cycle 21 (UIC21) COLR was issued per Safety Evaluation SE00512 Revision 1. SE00512 requires a minimum boron concentration of 1747 ppm for the U IC21 core offload, but includes a note specifying that it is acceptable for the COLR to conservatively list higher values. A value of 2548 ppm boron will be used since that is the minimum value required by SE00533 for the Unit 1 Cycle 22 core onload.

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.

Yj = 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.

LICENSING RESTRICTIONS

1) For the Asymmetric Steam Gencrator Transient analysis performed in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.8, the methodology shall be revised to capture the asymmetric core inlet temperature distribution and application of local peaking augmentation factors. T'he revised methodology shall be applied to Calvert Cliffs Unit I core reload desigmn starting with Cycle 21.
2) For the Seized Rotor Event analysis performed in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.A, the methodology shall be revised to capture the asymmetric core inlet flow distribution. The revised methodology shall be applied to Calvert Cliffs Unit I core reload designs starting with Cycle 21.
3) For the Control Element Assembly Ejection analysis performed in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b. 11, the cycle-specific hot zero power peak average radial fuel enthalpy is calculated based on a modified power dependent insertion limit with Control Eleiient Assembly Bank 3 assumed to be fully inserted (only in the analysis, not in actual plant operations). This revised methodology shall be applied to Calvert Cliffs Unit I core reload designs starting with Cycle 21.
4) The Small Break Loss of Coolant accident performed in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.9 shall be analyzed using a break spectrum with augmented detail related to break size. This revised methodology shall be applied to Calvert Cliffs Unit I core reload designs starting with Cycle 21.
5) Core Operating Limits Report Figures 3.1.6, 3.2.3, and 3.2.5 shall not be changed without prior NRC review and approval until an NRC-accepted generic, or Calvert Cliffs-specific, basis is develop.d for analyzing the Control Element Assembly Rod Bank Withdrawal Event, the Control Element Assembly Drop, and the Control Element Assembly Ejection (power level -sensitive transients) at full power conditions only.
6) Approval of the use of S-RELAP5 (Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.8) is restricted only to those safety analyses that confirm acceptable transient performance relative to the specified acceptable fuel design limits. Prior transient specific NRC approval is required to analyze transient performance relative to reactor coolant pressure boundary integrity until NRC-approval is obtained ibr a generic or Calvert Cliffs-specific basis for the use of the methodology in Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.8 to demonstrate reactor coolant pressure boundary integrity.

Calvert Cliffs 1, Cycle 21 COLR Page 6 of 21 Rev. 1

7) For the RODEX2-based fuel thermal-mechanical design analysis performed in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.3, Calvert Cliffs Unit I core reload designs (starting with Cycle 21) shall satisfy the following criteria:
a. Predicted rod internal pressure shall remain below the steady state system pressure.
b. The linear heat generation rate fuel centerline melting safety limit shall remain below 21.0 KW/ft.
8) For the Control Element Assembly Ejection analysis, Calvert Cliffs Unit I core reloads (starting with Cycle 21) shall satisfy the following criteria:
a. Predicted peak radial average fuel enthalpy when calculated in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b. I1 shall remain below 200 cal/g.
b. For the purpose of evaluating radiological consequences, should the S-RELAP5 hot spot model predict fuel temperature above incipient centerline melt conditions when calculated in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.8, a conservative radiological source term (in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.183, Revision 0) shall be applied to the portion of fuel beyond incipient melt conditions (and combined with existing gap source term), and cladding failure shall be presumed.
9) The approval of the emergency core cooling system evaluation performed in accordance with the methodology of Technical Specification 5.6.5.b.7 shall be valid only for Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, Cycle 21. To remove this condition, Calvert Cliffs shall obtain NRC approval of the analysis of once- and twice-burned fuel for core designs following Unit I Cycle 21.
