Page 1 of 11 Shearon Harris Unit 1 Cycle 6 Core Operating Limits Report - Rev. 2 1.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT This Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) for Shearon Harris Unit 1 Cycle 6 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 6.9.1.6.
The Technical Specifications affected by this report are listed below:
3/4.1.1.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient 3/4.1.3.5 Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit 3/4.1.3.6 Control Rod Insertion Limits 3/4.2.1 Axial Flux Difference 3/4.2.2 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - F<(Z) 3/4.2.3 Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor - F~z 3/4.9.1.a Boron Concentration During Refueling Operations
Page 2 of ll Shearon Harris Unit 1 Cycle 6 Core Operating Limits Report - Rev. 2 2.0 OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in Section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using NRC-approved methodologies specified in Technical Specification 6.9.1.6 and given in Section 3.0.
2.1 Moderator Tem erature Coefficient (Specification 3/4.1.1.3)
The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits are:
The Positive MTC Limit (ARO/HZP) shall be less positive than
+5.0 pcm/'F for power levels up to 70% RTP with a linear ramp to 0 pcm/'F at 100% RTP.
The Negative MTC Limit (ARO/RTP) shall be less negative than
-45 pcm/'F.
The MTC Surveillance limit is:
The 300 ppm/ARO/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or equal to
-37.4 pcm/'F.
where: ARO stands for All Rods Out HZP stands for Hot Zero THERMAL POWER RTP stands for RATED THERMAL POWER 2.2 Shutdown Rod Insertion Limit (Specification 3/4.1.3.5)
Fully withdrawn for all shutdown rods shall be 231 steps.
2.3 Control Rod Insertion Limit (Specification 3/4.1.3.6)
The control rod banks shall be limited in physical insertion as specified in Figure 1. Fully withdrawn for all control rods shall be 231 steps.
2.4 Axial Flux Difference (Specification 3/4.2.1)
The AXIAL FLUX DIFFERENCE (AFD) target band is specified in Figure 2.

FQ(Z) < Fg~~ >> K(Z)/P for P ) 0. 5 FQ(Z) < F
~ >> K(Z)/0.5 for P < 0.5 where: P - THERMAL POWER/RATED THERMAL POWER
- a. FQ 2.45 for LOPAR and VANTAGE 5 fuel
- b. F 2.52 for SPC fuel
- c. K(Z) is specified in Figure 3.
V(Z) Curve for PDC-3 Operation is specified in Figure 4. The V(z) curve is sufficient to determine the PDC-3 V(z) versus core height for Cycle 6 burnups through the end of full power reactivity plus a coastdown for a maximum cycle energy of 461 EFPDs.
2.6 Nuclear Enthal Rise Hot Channel Factor - F<~ (Specification 3/4.2.3)
Fgg < F/' (1 + PF$ g ~ (1 - P))
where: P THERMAL POWER/RATED THERMAL POWER
- a. Fz

1.62 for LOPAR fuel
- b. Fz> 1.65 for VANTAGE 5 fuel
- c. F~s - 1.73 for SPC fuel
- d. PF~z - 0.3 for LOPAR fuel
- e. PFz>< 0.35 for VANTAGE 5 and SPC fuel 2.7 Boron Concentration for Refuelin 0 erations (Specification 3/4.9.1.a)
Through the end of Cycle 6, the boron concentration required to maintain K,<< less than or equal to .95 is less restrictive than the 2000 ppm boron requirement. Boron concentration must be maintained greater than or equal to 2000 ppm during refueling operations.
