RTYPE: G4.02 3.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS 3.1 Averane Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) ,

Reference Technical Soccification: 3.11.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 i smaller of the flow- and power-dependent APLHOR limits, MAPLHGRf I and MAPLHORp The flow-dependent APLHGR limit, MAPLHGRf,is l the product of the MAPLHOR flow factor, MAPFACf, shown in Figure 3.1-6 and the MAPLHGR for rated power and flow conditions. The power-dependent APLHGR limit, MAPLHGRp is the product of the MAPLHGR power factor, MAPFACp, hown in Figure 3.1-7 and the MAPLHGR for rated power and flow conditions. The MAPLHOR for rated power and flow conditions for each fuel type as a function of axial -

' lo' cation a' nd average planar exposure are bassd on the 'a aproved' methodology referenced in Section 5.0 and programmec m 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. l The core loading pattern for each type of fuel in the reactor vessel is shown for the present cycle in Figure 4.0-1.

3.2 Linear Heat Generation Race (LHGR) 4 Reference Technical Specification: 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.

PILGRIM NUCLEAR POWER STATION PNPS CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT RTYPE: G4.02 3.3 Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) l Reference Technical Soecification: 3.11.C j 1

During power o wration, the MCPR shall be greater than or equal to the operating limit MCPR. Tie operating limit MCPR is the greater of the flow- and power-dependent MCPR operating limits, MCPRf and MCPRp. The flow-dependent MCPR operating limit, MCPRf, is provided in Figure 3.3-1. For core thennal powers less than or equal to Pbypass, the power-dependent MCPR operating limit,

-MCPRp, is provided in Figure 3.3-2. Above Pbypass, MCPR > is the product of the rated power and flow MCPR operating limit presented in "able 3.3-1, and the Kp factor presented in Figure 3.3-2. Figure 3.3-2 also specifies the maximum value for Pbypass. The rated power and flow MCPR operating limits presented in Tables 3.3-1 are functions of T .

. The value of x 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:

The Power / Flow Map, Figure 3.4-1 is applicable to operation with Normal fee.dwater heating.

Cycle 13 operations are not analyzed for reduced feedwater temperature.

Intentional operation within the Restricted Region is prohibited. The Restricted Region boundary as a function of aligned drive flow is as given in Figure 2.2 -1.

Note: The boundary of the Restricted Region is established by analysis in terms of thermal power and core flow as showu in Figure 3.4 - 1. The Restricted Region boundary is defined by the APRM Rod ' lock setpoints, which are a function of reactor recirculation flow as shown by Figure 2.2-1 4.0 REACTOR VESSEL CORE DESIGN Reference Technical Specification: 4.2 The reactor vessel core for the present cycle consists of 580 fuel assemblies of the types listed below. The core loading pattern for each type of fuel is shown for the present cycle in Figure 4.0-1.
