1. INTRODUCTION This Core Operating Limits Report for Browns Ferry Unit 3, Cycle 8 is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Browns Ferry Technical Specification 6.9.1.7.

The core operating limits presented here were developed using NRC-approved methods (References 1 and 2). Results from the reload analyses for Browns Ferry Unit 3, Cycle 8 are documented in Reference 3 and 6.

The following core operating limits are included in this report:

a. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) Limit (Technical Specification 3.5.I)
b. Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR) Limit (Technical Specification 3.5.J)
c. Minimum Critical Power Ratio Operating Limit (OLMCPR)

(Technical Specification 3.5.K/4.5.K)

d. Average Power Range Monitor (APRM) Flow Biased Rod Block Trip Setting (Technical Specification 2.1.A.l.c, Table 3.2.C, and Specification 3.5.L)
e. Rod Block Monitor (RBM) Upscale (Flow Bias) Trip Setting and Clipped Value (Technical Specification Table 3.2.C)
2. APLHGR LIMIT(TECHNICALSPECIFICATION 3.5.I)

The APLHGR limit for each type of fuel as a function of exposure is shown in Tables 1-9. The APLHGR limits for the GE11 assemblies are for the most limiting lattice at each exposure point. The specific values for each lattice are given in References 4 and 5.

e' TVA Nuclear Fuel TVA-COLR-BF3CS Core Operating Limits Report Revision 2, Page 4

3. LHGR LIMIT(TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.5.J)

The LHGR limit for unit 3 cycle 8 is fuel type dependent, as shown below:

~Fuel T e LHGR Limit P8X8R/GE7B 13.4 kw/ft GE11 14.4 kw/ft

4. OLMCPR (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.5.K/4.5.K) a.

shown in Figure 3, where; Z = 0.0 Z~ = 0.90 sec or 2 =,

The OLMCPR is equal to the fuel type and exposure dependent MCPR limit at rated flow and rated power shown in Figures 1-2 multiplied by the Kf Save ZA ZB ZB whichever is greater.

(Specification 3.3.C. 1 scram time limit to 20%

insertion from fully withdrawn )

ZB = 0.694 + 1.65 (0.016) Reference 7 n

where; n = Number of surveillance rod tests performed to date in cycle (including BOC test).

Zi = Scram time to 20% insertion from fully withdrawn of the i th rod.

N = Total number of active rods measured in Specification 4.3.C. 1 at BOC.

b. For the performance of Surveillance Requirement 4.5.K.2.a (prior to initial scram time measurements for the cycle),

TVA Nuclear Fuel TVA-COLR-BF3CS Core Operating Limits Report Revision 2, Page 5

c. For the performance of Surveillance Requirement4.5.K.2.b, '6 shall be determined in accordance with 4.a above.
5. APRM FLOW BIASED ROD BLOCK TRIP SETTING (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 2.1.A.1.c, TABLE 3.2.C, AND SPECIFICATION 3.5.L)

The APRM Rod Block trip setting shall be:

SRB 5 (0.58W + 57%)

where:

SRB = Rod Block setting in percent of rated thermal power (3293 MWt)

W = Loop recirculation flow rate in percent of rated Note: Under certain conditions, the'APRM Rod Block setting must be adjusted by FRP/CMFLPD. See Technical Specification 3.5.L.

6. RBM UPSCALE (FLOW BIAS) TRIP SETTING AND CLIPPED VALUE (TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION TABLE 3.2.C)

The RBM Upscale trip setting shall be:

< (0.66W + 46%)

where:

Trip level setting is in percent of rated thermal power (3293 MWt)

W = Loop recirculation flow rate in percent of rated RBM upscale flow-biased setpoint clipped at 112 percent rated reactor power.
