The APLHGR limit is determined by adjusting the rated power APLHGR limit for off-rated power, off-rated flow, and SLO conditions. The most limiting of these is then used as follows:

APLHGR limit = MIN ( APLHGRp , APLHGRF, APLHGRsLo )

where:

APLHGRp off-rated power APLHGR limit [APLHGRRATED

MAPFACp]

APLHGRF off-rated flow APLHGR limit [APLHGRRATED* MAPFACF]

APLHGRsLo SLO APLHGR limit [APLHGRRATED

SLO Multiplier]

2.1 Rated Power and Flow Limit: APLHGRRATED The rated conditions APLHGR, for all fuel types, is identified in Reference 1 and shown in Figure 2.1.

2.2 Off-Rated Power Dependent Limit: APLHGRp Reference 1, for ATRIUM-I10 fuel, does not specify a power dependent APLHGR. Therefore, MAPFACp is set to a value of 1.0.

2.2.1 Startup,without FeedwaterHeaters There is a range of operation during startup when the feedwater heaters are not placed into service until after the unit has reached a significant operating power level. No Additional power dependent limitation is required.

2.3 Off-Rated Flow Dependent Limit: APLHGRF Reference 1, for ATRIUM-i10 fuel, does not specify a flow dependent APLHGR. Therefore, MAPEACF is set to a value of 1.0.

2.4 Single Loop Operation Limit: APLHGRsLo The single loop operation multiplier for ATRIUM-i10 fuel is 0.85, per Reference 1.

The LHGR limit is determined by adjusting the rated power LHGR limit for off-rated power and off-rated flow conditions. The most limiting of these is then used as follows:

LHGR limit = MIN ( LHGRp, LHGRF) where:

LHGRp off-rated power LHGR limit [LHGRRATED

LHGRFACp]

LHGRF off-rated flow LHGR limit [LHGRRATED

LHGRFACF]

3.1 Rated Power and Flow Limit: LHGRPATED The rated conditions LHGR, for all fuel types, is identified in Reference 1 and shown in Figure 3.1. The LHGR limit is consistent with References 2, 3, and 4.

3.2 Off-Rated Power Dependent Limit: LHGRp The ATRIUM-i10 fuel, LHGR limits are adjusted for off-ratedl power conditions using the LHGRFACP multiplier provided in Reference 1. The multiplier is split into two sub cases:

turbine bypass valves in and out-of-service. The multipliers are shown in Figure 3.2.

3.2.1 Startup without FeedwaterHeaters There is a range of operation during startup when the feedwater heaters are not placed into service until after the unit has reached a significant operating power level. Additional limits are shown in Figure 3.4 and Figure 3.5, based on temperature conditions identified in Table 3.1.

The multiplier is shown in Figure 3.3.

3.4 Equipment Out-Of-Service Corrections The limit shown in Figure 3.1 is applicable for operation with all equipment In-Service as well as the following Equipment Out-Of-Service (EOOS) options; including combinations of the options.*

In-Service All equipment In-Service RPTOOS EOC-Recirculation Pump Trip Out-Of-Service TBVOOS Turbine Bypass Valve(s) Out-Of-Service PLUOOS Power Load Unbalance Out-Of-Service EHOOS (or FFWTR) Feedwater Heaters Out-Of-Service or Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction SLO Single Loop Operation, One Recirculation Pump Out--Of-Service Off-rated power corrections shown in Figure 3.2 are dependent on operation of the Turbine Bypass Valve system. For this reason, separate limits are to be applied for TBVIS or TBVOOS operation. The limits have no dependency on RPTOOS, PLUOOS, FHOOS/FFWTR, or SLO.

Off-rated power corrections shown in Figure 3.4 and Figure 3.5 are also dependent on operation of the Turbine Bypass Valve system. In this case, limits support FHOOS operation during startup. These limits have no dependency on RPTOOS, PLUOOS, orSLO.

"All equipment service conditions assume 1 SRVOOS.

OLMCPR is calculated to be the most limiting of the flow or power dependent values OLMCPR limit = MAX ( MCPRF, MCPRp )

where:

MCPRF core flow-dependent MCPR limit MCPRp power-dependent MCPR limit 4.1 Flow Dependent MCPR Limit: MCPRF MCPRF limits are dependernt upon core flow (%of Rated), and the max core flow limit, (Rated or Increased Core Flow, ICE). MCPRF limits are shown in Figure 4.1, per Reference 1. Limits are valid for all EOOS combinations. No adjustment is required for SLO conditions.

4.2 Power Dependent MCPR Limit: MCPRp MCPRp limits are dependent upon:

Core Power Level (%of Rated)

Technical Specification Scram Speed (TSSS), Nominal Scram Speed (NSS), or Optimum Scram Speed (OSS)

Cycle Operating Exposure (NEOC, EOC, and CD - as defined in this section)

Equipment Out-Of-Service Options

Two or Single recirculation Loop Operation (TLO vs. SLO)

The MCPRp limits are provided in the following tables, where each table contains the limits for all fuel types and EOOS options (for a specified scram speed and exposure range). The CMSS determines MCPRp limits, from these tables, based on linear interpolation between the specified powers.

4.2.1 Startup without FeedwaterHeaters There is a range of operation during startup when the feedwater heaters are not placed into service until after the unit has reached a significant operating power level. Additional power dependent limits are shown in Table 4.5 and Table 4.6, based on temperature conditions identified in Table 3.1.

BrowvnsFerryUnit 3Cycde16 Page 13 Core Operating Units Report, (105% OLTP) TVA-COLR-BF3C16, Revision 2 (FinaI)

EDMS: L32 130303 804 Nuclear Fuel Engineering - BWRFE ENPG 1101 Market Street, Chattanooga TN 37402 Date: March 1,2013 4.2.2 Scram Speed Dependent Limits (TSSS vs. NSS vs. OSS)

MCPRp limits are provided for three different sets of assumed scram speeds. The Technical Specification Scram Speed (TSSS) MCPRp limits are applicable at all times, as long as the scram time surveillance demonstrates the times in Technical Specification Table 3.1.4-1 are met. Both Nominal Scram Speeds (NSS) and/or Optimum Scram Speeds (OSS) may be used, as long as the scram time surveillance demonstrates Table 4.1 times are applicable.*t Table 4.1 Nominal Scram Time Basis Notch Nominal Optimum Position scram Timing Scram Timing (index) (seconds) (seconds) 46 0.420 0.380 36 0.980 0.875 26 1.600 1.465 6 2.900 2.900 In demonstrating compliance with the NSS and/or OSS scram time basis, surveillance requirements from Technical Specification 3.1.4 apply; accepting the definition of SLOW rods should conform to scram speeds shown in Table 4.1. If conformance is not demonstrated, TSSS based MCPRp limits are applied.

On initial cycle startup, TSSS limits are used until the successful completion of scram timing confirms NSS and/or OSS based limits are applicable.

4.2.3 Exposure Dependent Limits Exposures are tracked on a Core Average Exposure basis (CAVEX, not Cycle Exposure).

Higher exposure MCPRp limits are always more limiting and may be used for any Core Average Exposure up to the ending exposure. Per Reference 1, MCPRp limits are provided for the following exposure ranges:

BOC to NEOC NEOC corresponds to 28,822.0 MWd / MTU BOC to EOC EOC corresponds to 31,128.6 MWd / MTU BOC to End of Coast End of Coast 32,100.7 MWd / MTU NEOC refers to a Near EOC exposure point.

"Reference 1 analysis results are based on information identified in Reference 5.

t Assumption basis is consistent with method used to perform actual timing measurements (i.e., including pickup/dropout effects).

Browns Ferry Unit 3 Cycde 16 Page 14 CoeOperatng Umits Report, (105% OLTP) TVA-COLR-BF3C16, Revision 2 (Final)

EDMS: L32 130303 804 E!i .PG NuclearFuel Engineering - BWRFE 1101 Market Street, Chattanooga TN 37402 Date: March 1,2013 The EOC exposure point is not the true End-Of-Cycle exposure. Instead it corresponds to a licensing exposure window exceeding expected end-of-full-power-life.

The End of Coast exposure point represents a licensing exposure point exceeding the expected end-of-cycle exposure including cycle extension options.

4.2.4 Equipment Out-Of-Service (EQOOS) Options EOOS options* covered by MCPRp limits are given by the following:

In-Service Al! equipment In-Service RPTOOS EOC-Recirculation Pump Trip Out-Of-Service TBVOOS Turbine Bypass Valve(s) Out-Of-Service RPTOOS+TBVOOS Combined RPTOOS and TBVOOS PLUOOS Power Load Unbalance Out-Of-Service PLUOOS+RPTOOS Combined PLUOOS and RPTOOS PLUOOS+TBVOOS Combined PLUOOS and TBVOOS PLUOOS+TBVOOS+RPTOOS Combined PLUOOS, RPTOOS, and TBVOOS EHOOS (or FFWTR) Feedwater Heaters Out-Of-Service (or Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction)

For exposure ranges up to NEOC and EOC, additional combinations of MCPRp limits are also provided including FHOOS. The coast down exposure range assumes application of FFWTR.

FHOOS based MCPRp limits for the coast down exposure are redundant because the temperature setdown assumption is identical with FFWTR.

4.2.5 Singl~e-Loop-Operation (SLO) Limits MCPRp limits are increased by 0.02 to support SLO, per Reference 1.

4.2.6 Below Pbvp3ass Limits Below Pbypass (30% rated power), MCPRp limits depend upon core flow. One set of MCPRp limits applies for core flow above 50% of rated; a second set applies if the core flow is less than or equal to 50% rated.

All equipment service conditions assume 1 SRV00S.

"All limits, including "Base Case," support RPTOOS operation; operation is supported for any combination of 1 MSRVOOS, up to 2 TIPOOS (or the equivalent number of TIP channels), and up to 50% of the LPRMs out-of-service. For single-loop operation, MCPRP limits will be 0.02 higher.

FFWTR and FHOOS assume the same value of temperature'drop. Consequently, FHOOS limits are not provided for BOC to End of COAST due to redundancy. Thermal limits for the 'BOC to End of COAST" exposure applicability window are developed to conservatively bound FHOOS limits for earlier exposure applicability windows.

A 50% power step change for PLUOOS limits is not supported. When core power is

50%, the LRNB event is the same with, or without PLUOOS.

EDMS: L32 130303 804 EI.PG Nuclear Fuel Engineering - BWRFE 1101 Market Street, Chattanooga TN 37402 Date: March 1,2013 5 Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) Setpoint (Technical Specification 3.3.1.1)

Technical Specification Table 3.3.1.1-1, Function 2f, identifies the OPRM upscale function.

Instrument setpoints are~established, such that the reactor will be tripped before an oscillation can grow to the point where the SLMCPR is exceeded. An Option Ill stability analysis is performed for each reload core to determine allowable OLMCPR's as a function of OPRM setpoint. Analyses consider both steady state startup operation, and the case of a two recirculation pump trip from rated power.

The resulting stability based OLMCPR's are reported in Reference 1. The OPRM setpoint (sometimes referred to as the Amplitude Trip, sp) iS selected, such that required margin to the SLMCPR is provided without stability being a limiting event. Analyses are based on cycle specific DIVOM analyses performed per Reference 23. The calculated OLMCPR's are shown in Table 5.1. Review of results shown in COLR Table 4.2 indicates an OPRM setpoint of 1.14 may be used. The successive confirmation count (sometimes referred to as Np) is provided in Table 5.2, per Reference 28.

The APRM rod block trip setting is based upon References 24 & 25, and is defined by the following:

SRB < (0.66(W-AW) + 61%) Allowable Value SRB < (0.66(W-AW) + 59%) Nominal Trip Setpoint (NTSP) where:

SRB = Rod Block setting in percent of rated thermal power (3458 MWt)

W = Loop recirculation flow rate in percent of rated AW = Difference between two-loop and single-loop effective recirculation flow at the same core flow (AW=O.O for two-loop operation)

The APRM rod block trip setting is clamped at a maximum allowable value of 115%

(corresponding to a NTSP of 113%).

The RBM trip setpoints and applicable power ranges, based on References 24 & 25, are shown in Table 7.1. Setpoints are based on an HTSP, unfiltered analytical limit of 114%. Unfiltered setpoints are consistent with a nominal RBM filter setting of 0.0 seconds; filtered setpoints are consistent with a nominal RBM filter setting less than 0.5 seconds. Cycle specific CRWE analyses of OLMCPR are documented in Reference 1, superseding values reported in References 24, 25, and 27.
