2. General Information This report is prepared in accordance with Technical Specifi~t1on 5.6 5. The D3C47 rel~d is licensed by Framatome. *
  • Licensed rated thermal power is 2957 M\/Vth. Rated core flow is 98 Mlb/hr. Operation up to 108% rated core flow is licensed for .this cycle. For allowed operating regions, see applicable power/flow map.

The licensing analysis supports full power operation to EOC!-B (38,332 MWd/MTl! CAVEX). Note that this value includes *coastdowri, where full power qperation is not expected. The tra'nsient analysis limits* are . prov,1ded for operation up. to specific CAVEX exposures as defined in Section 4.3. Coastdown is defined as operation beyond EOFPL (37,536 MWd/MTU CAVEX) with the plant power*

  • gradually reducing as available core reactivity diminishes. The D3C27 reload analyses do not credit this red!,Jced power during coastdown and the EOCL,a limits remain valkt for operation 1,1p to rated power. The minimum allowed coastdown power l1;ivel is 40% rated-CTP per Reference 1.

Power and flow dependent limits are' listed for various power and flow levels. Unear interpolation on *power and flow (as applicable) is to be used to find intermediate values. Linear interpolation is also to be used for table* items intentionally left blank, as indicated by boxes which are grayed out. *

  • Only MCPRp varies with scram speed. All other thermal hmrts are analyzed to remain valid with NSS, ISS, andTSSS. . .

LHGRFACt.1s_1r1dependent of feedwatt;3r temperature and*EOOS conditions.- ... For thermal limit monitoring above 100% rated power or 108% rated core flow, the 100% rated power or . the 108% core flaw thermal limit values, r.espectjvely, shall be*used. Steady state operatton is not allowed in this region ..Limits are providecj for transient COl')dit1ons only.

3. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate Technical Specifications Sections 3.2.1 and 3 4.1 Table 3-1 provides the MAPLHGR SLO multiplier for ATRIUM 10XM.

For ATRIUM 10XM fuel, the MAPLHGR values applicable for all lattIces can be found m Table 3-2. During SLO, the limits in Table 3-2 are multiplied by the fuel-specific SLO multiplier listed in Table 3-1.

4. Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio Technical Specif1cat1on Sections 3 2 2, 3,4.1. and 3.7.7 The OLMCPRs for D3C27 were established so that less than 0.1 % of the fuel rods in the core are expected to experience boiling transition during an AOO initiated from rated or off-rated conditions and are based on the Technical Specifications SLMCPR values (Reference 6)

Tables 4-3 through 4-12 include MCPR limrts for various specified EOOS conditions. The EOOS conditions separated by *r in these tables represent single EOOS conditions and not any combination of conditions. Refer to Section 8 for a detailed explanation of allowable combined EOOS conditions 4.1. Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow condition by evaluating the power-dependent MCPR and the flow-dependent MCPR and selecting the greater of the two. 4.1.1. Power-Dependent MCPR The OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power (MCPRp) is shown in Tables 4-3 through 4-11. MCPRp limits are dependent on scram times as described in Section 4 2, exposure as described in Section 4.3, FWT, and whether the plant is in Tl.0 or SLO. TLO limits for ATRIUM 10XM fuel are given in Tables 4-3 through 4-8 and SLO limits for ATRIUM 10XM fuel are given in Tables 4-9 through 4-11. 4.1.2. Flow-Dependent MCPR Table 4-12 gives the OLMCPR limit as a function of the flow (MCPRt) based on the applicable plant condition. These values are applicable to ATRIUM 10XM. Page 8 of 31

COLR Dresden 3 Revision 17 4.2. Scram Time TSSS, ISS, and NSS refer to scram speeds The scram time values associated with these speeds are shown m Table 4-1. The TSSS scram times shown in Table 4-1 are the same as those specified in the Technical Specifications (Reference 2). To utilize the OLMCPR limits for NSS in Tables 4-3, 4-6, and 4-9 the average control rod insertion time at each control rod insertion fraction must be equal to or less than the NSS time shown in Table 4-1 below. To utilize the OLMCPR limits for ISS m Tables 4-4, 4-7, and 4-10, the average control rod insertion time at each control rod insertion fraction must be equal to or less than the ISS time shown 1n Table 4-1 below. The "Average Control Rod Insertion Time" Is defined as the sum of the control rod insertion times of all operable control rods divided by the number of operable control rods. Conservative adjustments to the NSS and ISS scram speeds were made to the analysis inputs to appropriately account for the effects of 1 stuck control rod and one additional control rod that is assumed to fail to scram (Reference 6). To utilize the OLMCPR limits for TSSS in Tables 4-5, 4-8, and 4-11, the control rod insertion time of each operable control rod at each control rod insertion fraction must be equal to or less than the TSSS time shown m Table 4-1 below. The Technical Spec1ficat1ons allow operation with up to 12 "slow' and 1 stuck control rod. One additional control rod is assumed to fail to scram for the system transient analyses performed to establish MCPRµ limits (Reference 6). Conservative adjustments to the TSSS scram speeds were made to the analysis inputs to appropriately account for the effects of the slow and stuck rods on scram reactivity (Reference 6). For cases below 38.5% power (Pt,ypaM), the results are relatively insensitive to scram speed, and only TSSS analyses were performed (Reference 6). Table 4-1: Scram Times (References 2 and 6) Control Rod Insertion NSS (seconds) 155 (seconds) TSSS (seconds) Fraction (%) 5 0 324 0 36 0.48 20 0 700 0.72 0.89 50 1.510 1.58 1.98 90 2.635 2.74 3.44 Page 9 of 31

COLR Dresden 3 Revision 17 4.3. Exposure Dependent MCPR Limits Exposure-dependent MCPRp limrts were established to support operation from BOC to EOFPLB (CAVEX of 37,536 MWd/MTU) and EOFPLB to EOCLB (CAVEX of 38,332 MWd/MTU) as defined by the CAVEX values listed in Table 4-2. The limits at a later exposure range can be used earlier in the cycle as they are the same or more conservative.

Recirculation Pump ASD Settings Technical Requirement Manual 2.1.a.1 Dresden 3 Cycle 27 was analyzed with a slow flow excursion event assuming a failure of the recirculation flow control system such that the core flow increases slowly to the maximum flow physically permitted by the equipment, assumed to be 112% of rated core flow (Reference 6), therefore, the recirculation pump ASD must be set to maintain core flow less than 112% (109. 76 Mlb/hr) for all runout events Page 10 of 31

5. Linear Heat Generation Rate Technical Specification Sections 3.2 3, 3.4.1, and 3.7.7 The TMOL at rated conditions for the ATRIUM 1OXM fuel is established in terms of the maximum LHGR as a function of peak pellet (rod nodal) exposure. The LHGR limits for ATRIUM 10XM fuel are presented in Table 5-1.

The power- and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers (LHGRFACp and LHGRFACt) are applied directly to the LHGR limits to protect against fuel melting and overstraining of the cladding during an AOO (Reference 6) In all conditions, the margin to the LHGR limits is determined by applying the lowest multiplier from the applicable LHGRFACp and LHGRFAC, multipliers for the power/flow statepoint of interest to the steady state LHGR limit (Reference 6). LHGRFACp and LHGRFACt multipliers were established to support base case and all EOOS conditions for all Cycle 27 exposures and scram speeds. The LHGRFACp multJpliers for ATRIUM 10XM are presented in Table 5-2. The LHGRFACt multipliers for ATRIUM 10XM are presented m Table 5-3.

The OPRM PBDA trip settings are based, in part, on the cycle specific OLMCPR and the power/flow dependent MCPR limits. Any change to the OLMCPR values and/or the power/flow dependent MCPR limrts should be evaluated for potential impact on the OPRM PBDA trip settings. The OPRM PBDA trip settings are applicable when the OPRM system is declared operable and the associated Technical Specifications are implemented. Page 25 of 31

COLR Dresden 3 Revision 17 Common Notes

1. Base case operation assumes:

a 1 TBV OOS (only 8 of the 9 bypass valves are available) per Reference 6.

b. Between 25% and 50% rated power, the PLU will not actuate per Reference 8.
c. The limrting relief, safety, or SRV is out-of-service per Reference 6.

d Both dome pressure and throttle pressure control are supported per Reference 6.

e. Operation wrth a feedwater temperature band of +10/-30°F relative to the nominal feedwater temperature presented in Reference 7, Item 2.4.2.
f. Operation for dome pressures between the minimum and maximum bands per Reference 7, Item 2.4.5.
2. All modes are allowed for operation at MELLLA, ICF (up to 108% rated core flow), and coastdown subject to the power restrictions in Table 8-2 (Reference 6). The licensing analysis supports full power operation to EOCLB (38,332 MWd/MTU CAVEX) Note that this value includes coastdown, where full power operation Is not expected The minimum allowed coastdown power level is 40% rated CTP per Reference 1. Each OOS Option may be combined with each of the following conditions (Reference 6):
a. Up to 40% of the TIP channels OOS or the equivalent number of TIP channels, using the guidance in Reference 4 for startup with TIP machines OOS
b. Up to 50% of the LPRMs OOS c An LPRM calibration frequency of up to 2500 EFPH
3. Nominal FWT results are valid for application within a +10°F/-30°F temperature band around the nominal FWT curve (Reference 6) For operation outside of nominal FWT, a FWT reduction of between 30°F and 120°F Is supported for all FHOOS conditions listed in Table 8-1 for cycle operation through EOCLB (Reference 6). At lower power levels, the feedwater temperature reduction is less (Reference 6) Per Reference 5, there is a restriction which requires that for a FWT reduction greater than 100°F, operation needs to be restricted to less than the 100% rod line. For a feedwater temperature reduction of between 3D°F and 120°F, the FHOOS limits should be applied.
4. The base case and EOOS limits and multipliers support operation with 8 of 9 turbine bypass valves operational (i.e., one bypass valve out of service) with the exception of the TBVOOS condition in which all bypass valves are inoperable (Reference 6). Use of the response curve in TRM Appendix H supports operation wrth any single TBV OOS. TRM Appendix H facilitates analysis with one valve OOS in that the capacity at 0.5 seconds from start of TSV closure Is equivalent to the total capacity with eight out of the nine valves in service (Reference 7). The analyses also support Turbine Bypass flow of 29.8% of vessel rated steam flow (Reference 7), equivalent to one TBV OOS (or partially closed TBVs equivalent to one closed TBV), if the assumed opening profile for the remaining TBVs is met. If the opening profile Is NOT met, or if the TBV system CANNOT pass an equivalent of 29.8% of vessel rated steam flow, utilize the TBVOOS condition.
5. TBVOOS assumes that ALL the TBVs do .!lQ! trip open on TCV fast closure or TSV closure and that ALL the TBVs are not capable of opening via the pressure control system (Reference 8). Steam relief capacity is defined in Reference 7.

6 Between 25% and 50% of rated thermal power, the PLUOOS/TCV Slow Closure thermal limit set ensures that the AOO acceptance criteria are met for a load reJection event if the 86 Device is OOS (Reference 6). Therefore, use the PLUOOS/TCV Slow Closure thermal limit set between 25% and 50% of rated thermal power if the 86 Device is OOS.

7. Operating restrictions apply when one Feedwater Regulating Valve is placed in manual mode, per Reference 6 Additional EOOS cond1t1ons that are supported with 1 FRV in Manual Mode consist of 40% of TIP channels OOS and 50% of the LPRMs out-of-service. Other conditions associated with base case conditions, such as the feedwater temperature band, the pressure band, single and three-element level control, dome and turbine pressure control, operation with 1 SRVOOS, and operation wrth 1 TBV OOS, are supported as discussed in Section 5.1 of Reference 6.
