1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to provide the Core Operating Limits for the llope Creek Generating Station Unit 1 Cycle 7 / Reload 6 operation. The limits presented here correspond to the core thermal limits for Average Planar Linear lleat Generation Rate (APLilGR),
Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR), MCPR Flow Adjustment Factor (K,), and Linear ileat Generation Rate (LilGR).
These operating limit values have been determined using NRC approved methods contained in GESTAR II, NEDE-240ll P A, (latest approved version), and are established such that all applicable fuel thermal mechanical, core thermal hydraulic, ECCS, and nuclear limits such as shutdown margin, and transient and accident analysis limits are met. Methods for the cycle specific evaluation of the Safety Litch Minimum Critical Power Ratio (SLMCPR) have been submitted for NRC approval in GESTAR Il Arnendment 25, and in llope Creek License Change Request LCR 1197 05. This revision includes the effects of the l{ ope Creek Cycle 7 specific evaluation for SLMCPR, currently administratively controlled via PlRS item
- 960,116162 CRFA #2 arx! CROD #2.
Ilope Creek Technical Specifications section 3.2 references this report as the source for certain LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION. These are included in section 2 of this document, llope Creek Technical Specifications section 6.9.1.9 also requires that this report, including any mid cycle revisions, shall be provided, upon issuance, to the NRC.
This document is specific to llope Creek Unit 1 Cycle 7 / Reload 6 atx! shall not be applicable to any other core or cycle design. The current revision of this report covers the operation from the date of issuance to the end of cycle 7 exposure of 11,200 MWD /STU, including tlw power coastdown following end of effective full power capability. End of effective full power capability is reached when 100% rated power can no longer be maintained by increasing core flow (up to 105% of rated core flow), at rated feedwater temperatures, in the a'
- s out configuration.

- 8t'd June 20,1997 2.1 AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR llEAT GENERATION RATE LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION:
All AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR llEAT GENERATION RATES (APLilGRs) for each type of fuel as a function of AVERAGE PLANAR EXPOSURE shall not exceed the limits specified in Appendix A. Table A 1. Appendix B. Table B 1, and Appendix C. Table C 1.
The limits specified shall be reduced to a value of 0.86 times the two recirculation loop operation limit when in single recirculation loop operation.
NOTE The APL11GRs for the P8CWB (GE9B) fuel types are included in Appendix A, B and C to accommodate GE proprietary considerations. The Appendices will be identified to i
contain GE proprietnv data and handled accordingly by the NRC when they receive their copy of the COLR report.
The APLilGR LCOs contained in Appendix A, B and C shall have the same consideration and treatment by PSE&G personnel as if they were in the body of the COLR. In addition, note that the APLilGR LCOs in the appendices are established in the NSSS computer for thermal limits rionitoring via approved plant procedures.
When hand calculations are required, all AVERAGE PLANAR LINEAR llEAT GENERATION RATES (APLilGRs) for each type of fuel as a function of AVERAGE PLANAR EXPOSURE shall not exceed the limits specined in Figures 21 through 2 3. The limits specined shall be reduced to a value of 0.86 times the two recirculation loop operation limit when in single rectreulation loop operation.
The accompanying Ogures graphically present the
Limiting" column of Tables A 1, B 1 and C-1.

' O PSEG e, on June 20,1997 2,2 MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION The MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO (MCPR) shall be equal to or greater than the MCPR limit specified in Figure 2-4 times the Kr curve value specified in Figure 2-5.
The Kf curve requires an adjustment be made to the MCPR limit for bundle flows below 0.4 Mlb/ft -hr. This adjustment has been incorporated in Fig. 2-5.
2 The MCPR limit must be increased by 3% if the core inlet subcooling exceeds 70 BTU /lbm, The MCPR limit is a function core average scram speed, EOC-RPT operability, and Main Turbine Bypass operability.
Core average scram speed, t (Tau), is defined by llope Creek Technical Specification 3.2.3.
End-of-Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip system operability is defined per llope Creek Technical Specification 3.3.4.2, Main Turbine Bypass operability is defined per llope Creek Technical Specification 3.7.7.
NOTE l
I Methods for the cycle specific evaluation of the Safety Limit l
Minimum Critical Power Ratio (SLMCPR) have been submitted j
for NRC approval in GESTAR II Amendment '25, and in 11 ope l
Creek License Change Request LCR H97-05. Figure 2-4 in this l
revision includes the effects of the llope Creek Cycle 7 specific l
