PNPS CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT RTYPE: G4.02 i

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report provides the cycle-specific limits for operation of the Pilgrim Nuclear l

Power Station (PNPS) during Cycle 12. In this report, Cycle 12 will frequently be referred to as the present cycle.

Although this report is not part of the PNPS Technical Specifications, the Technical Specifications refer to this report for the' applicable values of the following fuel-related parameters:

Reference Tgghnical Specificati.pn APRM Flux Scram Trip Setting (Run Mode)

Table 3.1.1 APRM Rod Block Trip Setting (Run Mode)

Table 3.2.C-2

[

Rod Block Monitor Trip Setting Table 3.2.C-2 Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate 3.11. A Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR) 3.11.B Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) 3.ll.C Power / Flow Relationship 3.11.D Reactor Vessei Core Design 4.2 i

If any of the core operating limits in this report are exceeded, actions will be taken as defined in the referenced Technical Specification.

The core operating limits in this report have been established for the present cycle using the NRC-approved methodology provided in the documents listed both in Section 5.0, References, and in Technical Specification 5.6.5. These limits are established such that the applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met.

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION PNPS CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT RTYPE: G4.02 3.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS 3.1 Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR)

Reference Tesimical Specification: 3. I I. A During power operation, APLHGR for each fuel type as a function of axial location and average planar exposure shall not exceed the applicable limiting value. The applicable limiting value for each fuel type is the smaller of the flow-and power-dependent APLHGR limits, MAPLHGRr and MAPLHGR,. The flow-dependent APLHGR limit, MAPLHGRr, is l

the product of the MAPLHGR flow factor, MAPFACr, shown in Figure 3.1-6 and the MAPLHGR for rated power and flow conditions. The power-dependent APLHGR limit, MAPLHGRe, is the product of the MAPLHGR power factor, MAPFACe, shown in Figure 3.1-7 and the MAPLHGR for rated power and flow conditions. The MAPLHGR for rated power and flow conditions for each fuel type as a function of axial location and average planar exposure are based on the approved methodology referenced in Section 5.0 and programmed in the plant process computer. The MAPLHGR for rated power and flow conditions for the limiting lattice in each fuel type (excluding natural uranium) are presented in Figures 3.1-1 through 3.1-5.

The core loading pattern for each type of fuel in the reactor vessel is shown for the present cycle in Figure 4.0-1.

I 3.2 Linear Heat Generation Raye (LHGR)

Reference Technical Snecification: 3.11.B During reactor power operation, the LHGR of any rod in any fuel assembly at any axial location shall not exceed the limits presented in Table 3.2-1.

Reference Technical Specification: 3.11.C During power operation, the MCPR shall be greater than or equal to the operating limit MCPR. The operating limit MCPR is the greater of the flow-and power-dependent MCPR operating limits, MCPRr and MCPRp.

The flow-dependent MCPR operating limit,' MCPRr, is provided in Figure 3.3-1. For core thermal powers less than or equal to Payp,,,, the power-dependent MCPR operating limit, MCPRe, is provided in Figure 3.3-2.

Above Peyp,,,, MCPRp is the product of the rated power and flow MCPR operating limit presented in Table 3.3-1, and the Kp factor presented in Figure 3.3-2. Figure 3.3-2 also specifies the maximum value for Payp,,,.

The reed power and flow MCPR operating limits presented in Tables 3.3-1 and 3.3-2 are functions of T for the indicated MOC and EOC cycle exposures.

The value ofI in Table 3.3-1 shall be equal to 1.0, unless it is calculated from the results of the surveillance testing of Technical Specification 4.3.C, as follows:
