2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
This report provides the following cycle-specific parameter limits for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 3 Cycle 24 (Reload 23):
- Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR)
- Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR)
- Cycle specific SLMCPR ( MCPR99.9%)
- Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)
- Turbine Bypass Valve Parameters
- Stability Protection Setpoints
- Asymmetric Feedwater Temperature Operati on (AFTO) thermal limit penalties
- Power Level Restrictions
These values have been determined using NRC -approved methodology and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met. SLO, FWHOOS operation, and FFWTR operation are not permitted in the MELLLA+ Region as controlled by station procedures. For the MELLLA+ Region, a specific definition of FWHOOS is provided in Facility Operating License Section 2.C(16). Operation in the MELLLA+ Region with up to a 10°F reduction in feedwater temperature below the design feedwater temperature is permitted.
This report provides cycle-specific OLMCPR, LHGR, and MAPLHGR thermal limits and related information for the following conditions:
- All points in the operating region of the power/flow map including the MELLLA+ Region down to 85.2% of rated core flow during full power (4016 MWt) operation (Appendix A)
- Increased Core Flow, up to 110% of rated core flow
- End-of-Cycle Power Coastdown to a minimum power level of 40%
- Feedwater Heaters Out of Service (FWHOOS) up to 55° F temperature reduction
- Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) between End-of-Rated (EOR) and End -of-Cycle (EOC) up to 90° F temperature reduction (4th and 5th stage FWHOOS)
- Asymmetric Feedwater Temperature Operation
- Equipment Out of Service Conditions per Section 11
ARTS provides for power - and flow-dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers that allow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR and LHGR thermal limits. The OLMCPR is determined by the cycle-specific reload analyses in Reference 2. Rated LHGR values are obtained from the bundle-specific thermal-mechanical analysis documented in Reference s 13 and 15. Supporting documentation for the ARTS-based limits is provided in Reference 2. The off-rated limits assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses bound the cycle-specific limits calculated for MELLLA+ operation. The Allowable Values documented in Reference 5 for feedwater temperature as a function of thermal power for both FWHOOS and FFWTR are specified in the appropriate Peach Bottom procedures. The Peach Bottom Unit 3 Cycle 24 core is comprised of GNF2 and GNF3 fuel.

3.0 MAPLHGR LIMITS
3.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.1, 3.3.4.2, 3.4.1 and 3.7.6
3.2 Description
The limiting MAPLHGR value for the most limiting lattice as a function of average planar exposure is given in Table 3-1 for GNF2 fuel and in Table 3-2 for GNF3 fuel. For SLO, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-3 for both GNF2 and GNF3 fuel. The impact of AFTO on MAPLHGR is addressed in Section 10.0. The power and flow dependent LHGR multipliers are sufficient to provide adequate protection for the off-rated conditions from an ECCS-LOCA analysis perspective. The MAPLHGR multipliers can either be set to unity or set equal to the LHGR multipliers, which remain compliant with the basis of the ECCS-LOCA analysis with no loss of ECCS-LOCA margin.

4.0 MCPR LIMITS
4.1 Technical Specification Section 2.1.1.2, 3.2.2, 3.3.4.2, 3.4.1 and 3.7.6
4.2 Description
The OLMCPR is provided in Table 4 -1 for all fuel types. These values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference 2. Control rod scram time verification is required as per Technical Specification 3.1.4, "Control Rod Scram Times". Tau (), a measure of scram time performance to notch position 36 throughout the cycle, is determined based on the cumulative scram time test results. The calculation of Tau shall be performed in accordance with site procedures. Linear interpolation shall be used to calculate the OLMCPR value if Tau is between 0.0 (Tau Option B) and 1.0 (Tau Option A). Table 4-1 is valid for a maximum Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) of 90oF (Reference 2).
The ARTS-based power-dependent MCPR limits (MCPR(P)) and multipliers (K p) are provided in Table 4-2 for all fuel types. Table 4-2 is valid for a maximum temperature reduction of 90F for FFWTR operation (bounding for FWHOOS operation) (Reference 2). The flow-dependent MCPR limits (MCPR(F)) are provided in Tabl es 4-3 through 4-6. Table 4-3 for GNF2 fuel and Table 4 -4 for GNF3 fuel are valid for DLO conditions with SFTO, and Table 4 -5 for GNF2 fuel and Table 4-6 for GNF3 fuel are valid for SLO conditions with SFTO.
The impact of AFTO on MCPR is address ed in Section 10. PR/PLUOOS + TBSOOS values were obtained by taking the most limiting values of the two EOOS conditions (Reference 11). For PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS condition, the limits are listed in Section 10; these values are bounding for non-AFTO conditions.
The cycle-specific exposure-dependent SLMCPRs, known as MCPR 99.9%, can be found in Table 4-7 for dual loop and single loop operating conditions for all fuel types. The values in Table 4-7 or more conservative values were used to calculate the MCPR limits and off-rated limits in this section and Section 10.

(1) When Tau does not equal 0 or 1, use linear interpolation.
(2) For single-loop operation, the MCPR operation limit is 0.03 greater than the analyzed two loop value. However, a minimum value of 1.42 for GNF2 fuel and a minimum value of 1.41 for GNF3 fuel is required to obtain an OLMCPR limit set by the Single Loop Operation Recirculation Pump Seizure Event.

5.0 LHGR LIMITS
5.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.3, 3.3.4.2, 3.4.1 and 3.7.6
5.2 Description
The LHGR values for the GNF2 and GNF3 fuel types are provided in Tables 5-1 and 5-2. The ARTS-based LHGR power-dependent multipliers (LHGRFAC(P)) are provided in Table 5-3 for GNF2 fuel and Table 5-4 for GNF3 fuel. Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 are valid for a maximum temperature reduction of 90o F for FFWTR operation (bounding for FWHOOS operation)
(Reference 2). In certain configurations when the unit is operating with two FW pumps and two FW heater strings in service, there is the potential that there could be an asymmetric loss of feedwater heating (ALOFH) event of more than 100°F. Per Reference 8, operation in that configuration requires LHGRFAC(P) restriction provided in Table 5 -5 for operation at or below 60% of rated. The penalty provided in Table 5-5 is GNF3 specific per Reference 8. Reference 8 also identifies a penalty for GNF2, however the LHGRFAC(P) limits for GNF2 in Table 5-3 are bounding of the required GNF2 penalty identified in Reference 8. The LHGR flow-dependent multipliers (LHGRFAC(F)) are provided in Table 5-6 for GNF2 and Table 5-7 for GNF3 fuel as a function of the number of recirculation loops in operation. The SLO LHGR multiplier is provided and accounted for in Table 5-6 for GNF2 fuel and Table 5-7 for GNF3 fuel. The power-and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers were obtained from Reference 2. The impact of AFTO on LHGR is addressed in Section 10.0. PR/PLUOOS + TBSOOS values were obtained by taking the most limiting values of the two EOOS conditions (Reference 11). For PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS condition, the limits are listed in Section 10; these values are bounding for non-AFTO conditions. The power and flow dependent LHGR multipliers are sufficient to provide adequate protection for the off-rated conditions from an ECCS-LOCA analysis perspective.

10.0 ASYMMETRIC FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE OPERATION (AFTO)
AFTO is the result of the specific configuration of the feedwater lines at Peach Bottom. A reduction in heating in either the A or the C heater strings will result in a temperature mismatch between the feedwater flows entering the opposite sides of the reactor vessel. This temperature mismatch may result in errors in the thermal limit values calculated by the core monitoring system. Thermal limit values for all conditions and events are impacted by these errors excluding SLO conditions. AFTO is defined as operation in a feedwater heater/string configuration that results in a specified threshold difference as described in Reference 8 for GNF2 and GNF3 fuel. To simplify the implementation of the AFTO limits, only the maximum AFTO penalties for GNF2 and GNF3 fuel indicated in Reference 8 will be implemented when the threshold asymmetry temperature is exceeded; this will minimize the number of AFTO thermal limit tables in the COLR and thermal limit sets in the core monitoring system. There is no AFTO penalty for a FWT difference less than or equal to 20oF. For a difference between 20 and 55oF there is a 4% LHGR/MAPLHGR penalty and a 3% MCPR penalty for GNF2 fuel and a 4% LHGR penalty, a 3% MAPLHGR penalty and a 2%
MCPR penalty for GNF3 fuel. Thermal limits are unanalyzed for a difference above 55 oF. Since Cycle 24 GNF3 DLO OLMCPR values are applicable for all fuel types in the core, per Reference 8, the more limiting GNF2 penalties will continue to be used for AFTO OLMCPR in Table 10-2 and AFTO MCPR(P) in Table 10-3 until GNF2 fuel is no longer in the core or only loaded in non-limiting locations in the core. Penalties according to fuel type, per Reference 8, will be applied to AFTO MCPR(F) limits in Table 10-4 for GNF2 fuel and Table 10-5 for GNF3 fuel. The MCPR penalty for AFTO also applies to RBM Operability MCPR Limits, which are addressed in Section 6.0.
10.1 MAPLHGR LIMITS
An appropriate penalty must be applied to MAPLHGR limits under AFTO for varying temperature differentials as per Reference 8. The reduction factor listed in Table 10-1 is the maximum penalty for the full range of analyzed FWT mismatches, bounding all smaller temperature deltas for both GNF2 and GNF3 fuel types.

10.2 MCPR LIMITS
The OLMCPRs during AFTO with a FWT difference greater than 20F are provided in Table 10-2.
The ARTS-based MCPR (P) limits and multipliers (Kp) for use during AFTO conditions are provided in Table 10-3. The MCPR(F) limits for AFTO are provided in Table 10-4 for GNF2 fuel and Table 10-5 for GNF3 fuel. The power-and flow-dependent OLMCPR curves were obtained from Reference 2 and were adjusted with a penalty for feedwater temperature difference greater than 20F as per Reference 8. PR/PLUOOS + TBSOOS and PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS values were obtained by taking the most limiting values of the two EOOS conditions (Reference 11). No MCPR penalties are required for asymmetric temperature differentials less than or equal to 20 F.

10.3 LHGR LIMITS
The ARTS-based LHGRFAC(P) values for AFTO operation are provided in Table 10-6 for GNF2 fuel and Table 10-7 for GNF3 fuel. The LHGRFAC(F) values for AFTO in DLO are provided in Table 10-8 for GNF2 fuel and Table 10-9 for GNF3 fuel. The power-and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers were obtained from Reference 2 and were adjusted with the appropriate penalties as per Reference
- 8. PR/PLUOOS + TBSOOS and PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS values were obtained by taking the most limiting values of the two EOOS conditions (Reference 11). The maximum feedwater temperature difference allowed without a thermal limit penalty is 20F. Once the temperature difference exceeds 20F, the maximum penalties from Reference 8 are applied to the thermal limits. Additionally, no LHGR penalties are required for AFTO while in SLO as previously discussed.
