EDWIN I. HATCH NUCLEAR PLANT UNIT 2 FUEL CYCLE 13 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT I.0 INTRODUCTION The CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT (COLR) for Plant Hatch Unit 2 Cycle 13 is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.6.5. The core operating limits presented herein were developed using NRC-approved methods (References I and 2). Results from the fuel vendor's reload an alyses for the fuel in Unit 2 Cycle 13 are documented in References 3 and A The following cyclt-specific core operating limits are included in this report:

a. Control Rod Block Instrumentation - Technical Specification 3.3.2.1.
b. AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR HEAT GENERATION RATE (APLHGR) - Technical Specification 3.2.1.

i

c. Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) - Technical Specification 3.2.2. and 3.3.2.1.
d. APRM Flow Biased Simulated Thermal Power - High, time constant - Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirement I

3.3.1.1.14.

2.0 ROD BLOCK MONITOR (Technical Specification 3.3.2.1) l l

Both Rod Block Monitor (RBM) channels shall be OPERABLE as specified in l Technical Specification 3.3.2.1 and when: l

a. THERMAL POWER is 2 29% and < 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER, and the MCPR is < 1.70, or
b. THERMAL POWER is 2 90% of RATED THERMAL POWER, and the MCPR is < l.40.

3.0 APLHGR LIMIT (Technical Specification 3.2.1)

The APLHGR limit for each fuel type is given by the applicable rated-power, rated-flow APLHGR limit taken from Figures 3-3 through 3-8, multiplied by the smaller of either:

l

a. The flow dependent multiplier, MAPFACp from Figure 3-1, or
b. The power dependent multiplier, MAPFACp from Figure 3-2.

For the fuel types whose APLHGR limits are shown in Figures 3-3 through 3-8, the APLHGR limit shall be applied to each axial location in the fuel assembly.

As required by GESTAR (Reference 1), the hand-calculated APLHGR values for a multi-lattice (i.e., GE13-LUA or GE9B-P8DWB330-10GZ-80M-150-T) -

fuel must be less than or equal to the APLHGR limits shown in Figure 3-6 or (

Figure 3-7. When APLHGR values are determined by the process computer, the lattice-dependent APLHGR limits are used. Under these conditions, some axial locations may have APLHGR values exceeding the values shown in either Figure 3-6 or 3-7.

. Plant Hitch Unit 2 Fuel Cycle 13 Core Operating Limits Report 4.0 MCPR LIMIT (Technical Specification 3.2.2) .

I The MCPR operating limit (OLMCPR) is a function of core power, core flow, l average scram time, fuel type, number of operating recirculation loops,

- operability of end-of-cycle recirculation pump trip (EOC-RPT) system, and , l operability of turbine bypass valves. .

I With both recirculation pumps in operation (TLO), the OLMCPR for each fuel ,

type with various combinations of equipment operablity, scram times, core flow  ;

and core power is determined as follows: l For 25% 5; power < 30%, the OLMCPR is given in Figure 4-1.  ;

l For power 2 30%, the OLMCPR is the greater of either: ,

A) The flow-dependent MCPR limit determined from the applicable 1 maximum core flow limit line of Figure 4-2, I 1

l or l B) The product of the values from Figures 4-1 and the applicable Figure 4-3 throup 4-4 as determined by Table 4-1.

As stated in the note on Figures 4-3 through 4-4, with one recirculation pump operating (SLO), the calculated operating limit MCPR determined above is ,

increased by 0.01. l In Figures 4-3 through 4-4, Option A scram time MCPR limits correspond to i = 1.0, where T is determined from scram time measurements performed in accordance with Technical Specifications SR 3.1.4.1 ar i SR 3.1.4.2. Option B values correspond to T = 0.0. For scram times betwe' ' tion A and Option B, the MCPR limit for each fuel type corresponds to T. If .ias not been determined, Option A limits are to be used. Refer to Table 4-1 to determine the applicable set of fuel-type dependent curves.
