This COLR revision was performed to support Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 17 operation at up to 2923 MWt. The main changes are those associated with the thermal limits and Power-Flow maps.
This report provides the values of the power distribution limits and control rod withdrawal block instrumentation setpoints for Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 17 as required by TS 5.6.5.
OPERATING LIMIT                                                                         REQUIREMENT Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) limits                                TS 5.6.5.a. 1 (with associated core flow and core power adjustment factors)
Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) limits                                                TS 5.6.5.a.2 (with associated core flow and core power adjustment factors)
Period Based Detection Algorithm (PBDA) Setpoint for Function 2.f of TS 3.3.1. 1,         TS 5.6.5.a.3 Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM)
Allowable Values and power range setpoints for Rod Block Monitor Upscale                  TS 5.6.5.a.4 Functions of TS 3.3.2.1 Per TS 5.6.5.b and 5.6.5.c, these values have been determined using NRC approved methodology and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met. The limits specified in this report support single loop operation (SLO) as required by TS LCO 3.4.1 and inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System as required by TS 3.7.6.
In order to support the Stability Option III with an inoperable OPRM scram function, the following is also included in this report:
OPERATING LIMIT                                                                    REQUIREMENT BWROG Interim Corrective Action Stability Regions                             TS 3.3.1.1 LCO Condition I This report conforms to Quality Assurance requirements as specified in Reference 1.

NGG Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. & Safety Analysis                                   Design Calc. No. 2821-1064 B2C17 Core Operating Limits Report                                                   Page 6, Revision 0 Single Loop Operation Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 17 may operate over the entire MEOD range with Single Recirculation Loop Operation (SLO) as permitted by TS 3.4.1 with applicable limits specified in the COLR for TS LCO's 3.2.1, and 3.2.2. The applicable limits are:
LCO 3.2.1, Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) Limits: per Reference 1, the Figures 9 and 10 described in the APLHGR Limits section below include a SLO limitation of 0.8 on the MAPLHGR(F) and MAPLHGR(P) multipliers.
LCO 3.2.2, Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) Limits: per Reference 1, Table 1 and Figures 11 and 12, the MCPR limits presented apply to SLO without modification.
Various indicators on the Power/Flow maps are provided not as operating limits but rather as a convenience for the operators: a single loop operation (SLO) Entry Rod Line is shown on the two loop operation maps to avoid regions of instability in the event of a pump trip; a maximum core flow line is shown on the single loop operation maps to avoid vibration problems; and APRM STP Scram and Rod Block nominal trip setpoint limits are shown to illustrate where these setpoints occur. Note that the APRMSTP setpoints are only approximations,shown at the estimatedcoreflow correspondingto the actual driveflow-basedsetpoints. The approximationsserve to indicate where the operatormay encounter the APRMSTP setpoints (LCO 3.3.1.1, ReactorProtectionSystem InstnumentationFunction 2.b (Average Power Range Monitors Simulated Thermal Power - High Allowable Value)).
Inoperable Main Turbine Bypass Svstem Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 17 may operate with an inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System in accordance with TS 3.7.6 with applicable limits specified in the COLR for TS LCO 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.
Three or more bypass valves inoperable renders the System inoperable, although the Turbine Bypass Out-of-Service (TBPOOS) analysis supports operation with all bypass valves inoperable for the entire MEOD range and up to 110F rated equivalent feedwater temperature reduction. The system response time assumed by the safety analyses from event initiation to start of bypass valve opening is 0.10 seconds, with 80% of the bypass flow capacity achieved in 0.30 seconds. The applicable limits are as follows:
LCO 3.2.1, Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) Limits: in accordance with Reference 1 as shown in Figure 10, TBPOOS does not require an additional reduction in the MAPLGHR(P) limits, as the Turbine Bypass Operable and Inoperable limits are identical.
LCO 3.2.2, Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) Limits: in accordance with Reference 1, TBPOOS does not require an additional increase in the MCPR(P) multiplier as shown in Figure 12, as the Turbine Bypass Operable and Inoperable limits are identical. TBPOOS requires increased MCPR limits, included in Table 1.

NGG Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. & Safety Analysis                                    Design Calc. No. 2B21-1064 B2C17 Core Operating Limits Report                                                    Page 7, Revision 0 Feedwater Temperature Reduction A variation within 10F of nominal feedwater temperature or a power level less than 30% rated has been evaluated as in compliance with normal feedwater temperature operating limits. A feedwater temperature reduction of > 100 F together with reactor power of at least 30% rated requires the use of FWTR MCPR limits (Table 1) and Stability Option III limits (Figures 17 and 18).
APLHGR Limits The limiting APLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fuel type as a function of planar average exposure is given in Figures 1 through 7. These values were determined with the SAFER/GESTR LOCA methodology described in GESTAR-il (Reference 2).
Figures 1 through 7 are to be used only when hand calculations are required as specified in the bases for TS 3.2.1. Hand calculated results may not match a POWERPLEX calculation since normal monitoring of the APLHGR limits with POWERPLEX uses the complete set of lattices for each fuel type provided in Reference 3.
The core flow and core power adjustment factors for use in TS 3.2.1 are presented in Figures 9 and
: 10. For any given flow/power state, the minimum of MAPLHGR(F) determined from Figure 9 and MAPLHGR(P) determined from Figure 10 is used to determine the governing limit.
MCPR Limits The Scram Speed MCPR OPTION A, OPTION B, and non-pressurization transient MCPR limits for use in TS 3.2.2 for each fuel type as a function of cycle average exposure are given in Table 1.
These values were determined with the GEMINI(TRACG) methodology and GEXL-PLUS critical power correlation described in GESTAR-il (Reference 2) without assuming EOC-RPT, and are consistent with a Safety Limit MCPR of 1.11 specified by TS 2.1.1.2.
The core flow and core power adjustment factors for use in TS 3.2.2 are presented in Figures 11 and
: 12. For any given power/flow state, the maximum of MCPR(F) determined from Figure 11 and MCPR(P) determined from Figure 12 is used to determine the governing limit. Because of the unresolved SC04-15 Power-Load Unbalance issue, MCPR(p) limits assume at least 20.5% rated steam bypass capability, for powers below 40% rated at normal feedwater temperature. If less than 20.5% rated steam bypass were available, the below-Pbypass limits for 26% rated power should be applied at powers below which a PLU-initiated scram occurs (40% rated power at rated temperature).
All MCPR limits presented in Table 1 and Figure 11 and Figure 12 apply to two recirculation pump operation and SLO without modification.

NGG Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. & Safety Analysis                                    Design Calc. No. 2B21-1 064 B2C17 Core Operating Limits Report                                                    Page 8, Revision 0 RBM Rod Block Instrumentation Setpoints The nominal trip setpoints and allowable values of the control rod withdrawal block instrumentation for use in TS 3.3.2.1 (Table 3.3.2.1-1) are presented in Table 2. These values were determined to be consistent with the bases of the ARTS program, and the determination of MCPR limits with the GEMINI(TRACG) methodology and the GEXL-PLUS critical power correlation described in GESTAR-II (Reference 2). Reference 8 revised certain of these setpoints to reflect changes associated with the installation of the NUMAC PRNM system. The table also includes information regarding required operability of the RBM, consistent with Technical Specification Table 3.3.2.1-1.
Stabilitv Option III Brunswick Unit 2 has implemented BWROG Long Term Stability Solution Option m (Oscillation Power Range Monitor-OPRM) with the methodology described in Reference 4. Plant specific analysis incorporating the Option III hardware is described in Reference 5. Reload validation has been performed in accordance with Reference 6. The resulting stability based MCPR Operating Limit is provided for two conditions as a function of OPRM amplitude setpoint in Table 3. (If desirable, Table 3 would support higher stability limitsfor various MCPR operatinglimits greater than the least limitingA 00 OLMCPR values (from Table 1 orFigures 11 or 12), but the suggested stability setpoints ensure no OLMCPR restrictionsfrom Option III. Table 3 shows thatfor an OPRM setpoint (Amplitude Setpoint Sp) of 1.13, OLMCPR(SS) is less restrictive than Figure11 at 45%
maximum flow or Figure 12 at 60.6% maximum power. Table 3 also shows that OLMCPR(2PT) is less restrictive than any limiting Table I OLMCPRfor an OPRMsetpoint of 1.13) Therefore the OPRM PBDA setpoint limit referenced by function 2.f of Table 3.3.1.1-1 of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 is 1.13 for Cycle 17. Per Table 3-2 of Reference 6, an Sp value of 1.13 supports selection of a Confirmation Count Setpoint Np of 15 or less.
Stability Option   m also affects the power/Flow maps as described below.
Power/Flow Maps Six Power/Flow maps for use at up to 2923 MWt (Figures 13-18) were developed based on References 1 and 7 to facilitate operation under Stability Option m as implemented by function 2.f of Table 3.3.1.1-1 and LCO Condition I of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1. All six maps illustrate the region of the power/flow map above 25% power and below 60% drive flow (which is approximately 63-64% core flow) where the system is required to be enabled. Note that the power/flow nmaps can only approximate the licensed Enabled Region, because the maps display core flow, while the EnabledRegion is basedon drive flow.
The maps supporting an operable OPRM function 2.f (Figures 13, 15 and 17) show a Scram Avoidance Region, which is not a licensing requirement but is an operator aid to illustrate where the OPRM system may generate a scram to avoid an instability event. Figures 13 and 15 differ only in that the Figure 15 that supports SLO, indicates the maximum allowable core flow at 45 Mlbs/hr, and

NGG Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. & Safety Analysis                                   Design Calc. No. 2B21-1064 B2C17 Core Operating Limits Report                                                    Page 9, Revision 0 has the Simulated Thermal Power (STP) scram and rod block limits appropriately reduced for SLO.
Note that the STP scram and rod block limits are defined in Technical Specifications, the Technical Requirements Manual, and Plant procedures, and are included in the COLR as an operator aid rather than a licensing requirement. Figure 17 differs from Figure 13 by extending the existing regions to provide additional stability protection during FWTR. Intentional operation with SLO and FWTR is prohibited.
The maps (Figures 14 and 16) supporting an inoperable OPRM function 2.f show the BWROG-94078 Interim Corrective Actions stability regions required to support LCO Condition I.
Both figures also include a 5% Buffer Region around the Immediate Exit Region as an operator aid.
Figures 14 and 16 differ only in that the Figure 16 that supports SLO, indicates the maximum allowable core flow at 45 Mlbs/hr, and has the STP scram and rod block limits appropriately reduced for SLO. Figure 18 differs from Figure 14 by extending the existing regions to provide additional stability protection during FWTR. Intentional operation with SLO and FWTR is prohibited.
