COLR for VEGP UNIT 1 CYCLE 9 1.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT This Core Operating t.imits Report (COLR) for VEGP UNIT 1 CYCLE 9 has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.6.5.

The Technical Requirement affected by this report is listed below:

13.1.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 1 and 2 The Technical Specifications affected by this report are listed belov."

3.1.1 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 3,4 and 5 3.1.3 Moderator Temperature Coetticient 3.1.5 Shutdown Bank insertion Lim;ts 3.1.6 Control Bank Insertion Limits 3.2.1 Heat Flux Hot Channel Factor - Fo(Z) 3 2.2 Nuclear Enthalpy Rise Hot Channel Factor - FL 3.2.3 Axial Flux Difference 3.9.1 Boron Concentration PAGE 1 of 14

e COLR for VEGP UNIT 1 CYCLE 9 2.0 OPERATING LIMITS tThe cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in section 1.0 are presented in the following subsections. These limits have been developed using NRC-approved methodologies,

' including those specified in Technical Specification 5.6.5.

2.1 SHUTDOM!N MARGIN - MODES 1 AND 2 (Technical Requirement 13.1.1) 2.1.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to 1.30 percent Ak/k.

2.2 SHUTDOWN MARGIN - MODES 3. 4 AND 5 (Specification 3.1.1) 2.2.1 The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to the limits shown in figures 1 and 2.

2.3 Moderator Temoerature Coefficient (Specification 3.1.3) 2.3.1 The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) limits are:

4 The BOUARO/HZP - MTC shall be less positive than +0.7 x 10 Ak/k/ F for power levels up to 70 percent RTP with a linear ramp to O Ak/k/ F at 100 percent RTP.

The EOUARO/RTP-MTC shall be less negative than 4

-5.50 x 10 Ak/k/ F.'

2.3.2 The MTC Surveillance limits are:

The 300 ppm /ARO/RTP-MTC should be less negative than or 4

equal to -4.75 x 10 Ak/k/ F.'

The 60 ppm /ARO/RTP-MTC should be less negative than 4

-5.35 x 10 Ak/k/'F.'

'1. The Penalty Factor, to be applied to Fo(Z) in accordance with SR 3.2.1.2, is the I

maximum factor by which Fo(Z) is expected to increase over a 39 EFPD interval (surveillance interval of 31 EFPD plus the maximum allowable 1xtension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval per SR 3.0.2) starting from the burnup at which the Fo(Z) was determined.
