The required core operating limits and setpoints listed in TS 5.6.5.a are presented in the COLR, have been determined using NRC approved methodologies (COLR References 1 through 21) in accordance with TS 5.6.5.b, have considered all fuel types utilized in B1C22, and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met in accordance with TS 5.6.5.c.
In addition to the TS required core operating limits and setpoints, this COLR also includes maps showing the allowable power/flow operating range including the DSS-CD stability ranges.
The generation of this COLR is documented in Reference 30 and is based on analysis results documented in References 23, 27-29.

Duke Energy, Nuclear Fuels Engineering, Nuclear Fuel Design                   Design Calc. No. 1B21-2050 Rev. 1 B1C22 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0017 Rev. 1                                                Page 9 APLHGR Limits Steady-state MAPLHGRSS limits are provided for Framatome Fuel (Table 18). These steady-state MAPLHGRSS limits must be modified as follows:
* Framatome Fuel MAPLHGR limits do not have a power, flow, or EOOS dependency.
* The applied MAPLHGR limit is dependent on the number of recirculation loops in operation. The steady-state MAPLHGR limit must be modified by a MAPFACSLO multiplier when in SLO.
MAPFACSLO has a fuel design dependency as shown below.
The applied TLO and SLO MAPLHGR limits are determined as follows:
MAPLHGR LimitTLO = MAPLHGRSS MAPLHGR LimitSLO = MAPLHGRSS x MAPFACSLO where MAPFACSLO = 0.80 for ATRIUM 10XM Linear interpolation should be used to determine intermediate values between the values listed in the table.
MCPR Limits The MCPR limits presented in Tables 5 through 11 are based on the TLO and SLO SLMCPRs listed in Technical Specification 2.1.1.2 of 1.07 and 1.09, respectively.
* MCPR limits have a core power and core flow dependency. Power-dependent MCPRp limits are presented in Tables 5 through 10 while flow-dependent MCPRf limits are presented in Table 11.
* Power-dependent MCPRP limits are dependent on CAVEX, SCRAM insertion speed, EOOS, fuel design, number of operating recirculation loops (i.e., TLO or SLO), core flow and core thermal power. Values for the CAVEX breakpoints are provided in Table 4. See COLR section titled Equipment Out-of-Service for a list of analyzed EOOS conditions. Care should be used when selecting the appropriate limits set.
* The MCPR limits are established such that they bound all pressurization and non-pressurization events.
* The power-dependent MCPRp limits (Tables 5-10) must be adjusted by an adder of +0.02 when in SLO.
The applied TLO and SLO MCPR limits are determined as follows:
MCPR LimitTLO = (MCPRp, MCPRf)max MCPR LimitSLO = (MCPRp + 0.02, MCPRf)max Linear interpolation should be used to determine intermediate values between the values listed in the tables. Some of the limits tables show step changes at 26.0%P and 50.0%P. IF performing a hand calculation of a limit AND the power is exactly on the breakpoint (i.e. 26.0 or 50.0), THEN select the most restrictive limit associated with the breakpoint.

No. 1B21-2050 Rev. 1 B1C22 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0017 Rev. 1                                              Page 10 LHGR Limits Steady-state LHGRSS limits are provided for Framatome Fuel (Table 12). These steady-state LHGRSS limits must be modified as follows:
* Framatome Fuel LHGR limits have a core power and core flow dependency. Framatome Fuel power-dependent LHGRFACp multipliers (Tables 13-16) and flow-dependent LHGRFACf multipliers (Table 17) must be used to modify the steady-state LHGRSS limits (Table 12) for off-rated conditions.
* Framatome Fuel power-dependent LHGRFACp multipliers are dependent on CAVEX, SCRAM insertion speed, EOOS, fuel design, core flow and core thermal power. Values for the CAVEX breakpoints are provided in Table 4. See COLR section titled Equipment Out-of-Service for a list of analyzed EOOS conditions. Care should be used when selecting the appropriate multiplier set.
* The applied LHGR limit is not dependent on the number of operating recirculation loops. No adjustment to the LHGR limit is necessary for SLO.
The applied LHGR limit is determined as follows:
LHGR Limit = LHGRSS x (LHGRFACp, LHGRFACf)min Linear interpolation should be used to determine intermediate values between the values listed in the tables. Some of the limits tables show step changes at 26.0%P and 50.0%P. IF performing a hand calculation of a limit AND the power is exactly on the breakpoint (i.e. 26.0 or 50.0), THEN select the most restrictive limit associated with the breakpoint.
The cycle-specific off-rated flow dependent LHGR set-down bounds those assumed in the MELLLA+
plant-specific ECCS-LOCA analyses.
CDA Setpoints Brunswick Unit 1 has implemented the stability Detect and Suppress Solution - Confirmation Density (DSS-CD) solution using the Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) as described in Reference 19.
Plant-specific analyses for the DSS-CD Solution are provided in Reference 23. The Detect and Suppress function of the DSS-CD solution based on the OPRM system relies on the Confirmation Density Algorithm (CDA), which constitutes the licensing basis. The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) solution may be used by the plant in the event the OPRM Upscale function is declared inoperable.
The CDA enabled through the OPRM system and the BSP solution described in Reference 23 provide the stability licensing bases for B1C22. The safety evaluation report for Reference 19 concluded that the DSS-CD solution is acceptable subject to certain cycle-specific limitations and conditions. These cycle-specific limitations and conditions are met for B1C22.
A reload DSS-CD evaluation has been performed in accordance with the licensing methodology described in Reference 19 to confirm the Amplitude Discriminator Setpoint (SAD) of the CDA established in Reference 23. The Cycle 22 DSS-CD evaluation demonstrates that: 1) the DSS-CD Solution is applicable to B1C22; and, 2) the SAD value of 1.10 established in Reference 23 is confirmed for operation of B1C22.
The SAD setpoint value of 1.10 is applicable to TLO and to SLO.
Reference 19 describes two BSP options that are based on selected elements from three distinct constituents: BSP Manual Regions, BSP Boundary, and Automated BSP (ABSP) setpoints.
The Manual BSP region boundaries and the BSP Boundary were calculated for Brunswick Unit 1 Cycle 22 for nominal feedwater temperature operation and reduced feedwater temperature. The endpoints of the regions are defined in Table 3.1 and Table 3.2. The Manual BSP region boundary endpoints are calculated with the Reference 18 methodology and connected using the Generic Shape Function (GSF),
which is described in Reference 19.

No. 1B21-2050 Rev. 1 B1C22 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0017 Rev. 1                                            Page 11 The ABSP Average Power Range Monitor (APRM) Simulated Thermal Power (STP) setpoints associated with the ABSP Scram Region are determined for Cycle 22 and are defined in Table 3.3. These ABSP setpoints are applicable to both TLO and SLO as well as nominal and reduced feedwater temperature operation.
The Manual Backup Stability Protection (BSP) Regions I and II are documented on the Power/Flow maps as is the modified APRM Simulated Thermal Power (STP) high SCRAM setpoints and the BSP Boundary.
The power/flow maps (Figures 1-6) were validated for B1C22 based on Reference 29 using the Reference 19 methodology to facilitate operation under DSS-CD as implemented by Function 2.f of Table 3.3.1.1-1 and LCO Conditions I and J of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1. The generation of these maps is documented in Reference 28. All maps illustrate the region of the power/flow map above 23% RTP and below 75% drive flow (correlated to core flow) where the OPRM system is required to be enabled. Figures 1-6 were included in the COLR as an operator aid and not a licensing requirement. Figures 5 and 6 are the power/flow maps for use in FWTR.
The maps supporting an operable OPRM (Figures 1, 3 and 5) show a Scram Avoidance Region, which is not a licensing requirement but is an operator aid to illustrate where there is increased probability the OPRM system may generate a scram to avoid an instability event. Figures 2, 4, and 6 support an inoperable OPRM and highlight the Manual Backup Stability Regions I and II, the modified APRM STP high SCRAM setpoints, and the BSP Boundary. Note that the STP scram and rod block limits are defined in Technical Specifications, the Technical Requirements Manual, and/or Plant procedures, and are included in the COLR as an operator aid rather than a licensing requirement.
Figures 3 and 4 implement the corrective action for AR-217345 which restricts reactor power to no more than 50% RTP when in SLO with OPRM operable or inoperable. This operator aid is intended to mitigate a spurious OPRM trip signal which could result from APRM noise while operating at high power levels.
RBM Setpoints The nominal trip setpoints and allowable values of the control rod withdrawal block instrumentation are presented in Table 1 and were determined to be consistent with the bases of the ARTS program (Reference 22). These setpoints will ensure the power-dependent MCPR limits will provide adequate protection against violation of the SLMCPR during a postulated CRWE event. Reference 27 revised these setpoints to reflect changes associated with the installation of the NUMAC PRNM system. RBM operability requirements, consistent with Notes (a) through (e) of Technical Specification Table 3.3.2.1-1, are provided in Table 2.
Equipment Out-of-Service
* Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 22 is analyzed for the following operating conditions with applicable MCPR, APLHGR and LHGR limits.
* Base Case Operation
* SLO
* TBVOOS
* FHOOS
* Combined TBVOOS and FHOOS Base Case Operation as well as the above-listed EOOS conditions assume all the items OOS below.
These conditions are general analysis assumptions used to ensure conservative analysis results and were not meant to define specific EOOS conditions beyond those already defined in Technical Specifications.
* Any 1 inoperable SRV
* 1 inoperable TBV (Note that for TBVOOS, TBVOOS/FHOOS, all 4 TBVs are assumed inoperable)
* Up to 40% of the TIP channels OOS
* Up to 50% of the LPRMs OOS

No. 1B21-2050 Rev. 1 B1C22 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0017 Rev. 1                                            Page 12 Please note that during FFTR/Coastdown, FHOOS is included in Base Case Operation and TBVOOS.
Single Loop Operation Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 22 may operate in SLO up to a maximum core flow of 45 Mlbm/hr which corresponds to a maximum power level of 71.1% RTP with applicable MCPR, APLHGR and LHGR limits.
These power and flow limitations also apply when operating with jet pump loop flow mismatch conditions (LCO 3.4.1). The following must be considered when operating in SLO:
* SLO is not permitted with RFWT (FHOOS/FFTR).
* SLO is not permitted with TBVOOS.
* SLO is not permitted with MSIVOOS.
* SLO is not permitted within the MELLLA+ operating domain.
Various indicators on the Power/Flow Maps are provided not as operating limits but rather as a convenience for the operators. The purposes for some of these indicators are as follows:
* The SLO Entry Rod Line is shown on the TLO maps to avoid regions of instability in the event of a pump trip.
* A maximum core flow line is shown on the SLO maps to avoid vibration problems.
* APRM STP Scram and Rod Block nominal trip setpoint limits are shown at the estimated core flow corresponding to the actual drive flow-based setpoints to indicate where the Operator may encounter these setpoints (See LCO 3.3.1.1, Reactor Protection System Instrumentation Function 2.b: Average Power Range Monitors Simulated Thermal Power - High Allowable Value).
* When in SLO, Figures 3 and 4 implement the corrective action for AR-217345 which restricts reactor power to no more than 50% RTP with OPRM operable or inoperable. This operator aid is intended to mitigate a spurious OPRM trip signal which could result from APRM noise while operating at high power levels.
* If OPRMs are inoperable in SLO, the expansion of the ABSP region results in power being restricted to 39% RTP as shown in Figure 4.
Inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 22 may operate with an inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System over the entire MEOD range and cycle and in the MELLLA+ domain after achieving 4.75 GWd/MTU cycle exposure with applicable APLHGR, MCPR and LHGR limits as specified in the COLR. An operable Main Turbine Bypass System with only one inoperable bypass valve was assumed in the development of the Base Case Operation limits. Base Case Operation is synonymous with TBVINS. The following must be considered when operating with TBVOOS:
* Two or more inoperable bypass valves renders the entire Main Turbine Bypass System inoperable requiring the use of TBVOOS limits. The TBVOOS analysis supports operation with all bypass valves inoperable.
* Prior to reaching the EOCLB exposure breakpoint, operation with FWTR >10F and reactor power 23% RTP requires use of the combined TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* TBVOOS operation coincident with FHOOS is supported using the combined TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* SLO is not permitted with TBVOOS.

No. 1B21-2050 Rev. 1 B1C22 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0017 Rev. 1                                          Page 13 Feedwater Temperature Reduction Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 22 may operate with RFWT over the entire MEOD range and cycle with applicable APLHGR, MCPR and LHGR limits as specified in the COLR. NFWT is defined as the range of feedwater temperatures from NFWT to NFWT - 10F. NFWT and its allowable variation were assumed in the development of the Base Case Operation limits. The FHOOS limits and FFTR/Coastdown limits were developed for a maximum feedwater temperature reduction of 110.3F. The following must be considered when operating with RFWT:
* Although the acronyms FWTR, FHOOS, RFWT and FFTR all involve reduced feedwater temperature, the use of FFTR is reserved for cycle energy extension using reduced feedwater temperature at and beyond a core average exposure of EOCLB using FFTR/Coastdown limits.
* Prior to reaching the EOCLB exposure breakpoint, operation with FWTR >10F and reactor power 23% RTP requires use of the FHOOS limits.
* Until a core average exposure of EOCLB is reached, implementation of the FFTR/Coastdown limits is not required even if coastdown begins early.
* When operating with RFWT, the appropriate DSS-CD Power/Flow Maps (Figures 5 and 6) must be used.
* FHOOS operation coincident with TBVOOS is supported using the combined TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* SLO is not permitted with RFWT.
* FWTR operation within the MELLLA+ operating domain is not allowed.
* NFWT limits have not been conservatively adjusted to eliminate the need to use RFWT limits below 50% RTP.
MELLLA+ Implementation Revision 1 of this COLR is being issued to support implementation of B1C22 operation in the MELLLA+
domain. Only MELLLA domain operation is allowed prior to a cycle exposure of 4.75 GWd/MTU. Either MELLLA or MELLLA+ domain operation is allowed after 4.75 GWd/MTU cycle exposure. This restriction is administratively controlled.

The required core operating limits and setpoints listed in TS 5.6.5.a are presented in the COLR, have been determined using NRC approved methodologies (COLR References 1 through 21) in accordance with TS 5.6.5.b, have considered all fuel types utilized in B2C23, and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met in accordance with TS 5.6.5.c.
In addition to the TS required core operating limits and setpoints, this COLR also includes maps showing the allowable power/flow operating range including the DSS-CD stability ranges.
The generation of this COLR is documented in Reference 30 and is based on analysis results documented in References 23, 27-29.

Duke Energy, Nuclear Fuels Engineering, Nuclear Fuel Design                       Design Calc. No. 2B21-1325 B2C23 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0005-001                            Page 9, Revision 1 APLHGR Limits Steady-state MAPLHGRSS limits are provided for Framatome Fuel (Table 16). These steady-state MAPLHGRSS limits must be modified as follows:
* Framatome Fuel MAPLHGR limits do not have a power, flow, or EOOS dependency.
* The applied MAPLHGR limit is dependent on the number of recirculation loops in operation. The steady-state MAPLHGR limit must be modified by a MAPFACSLO multiplier when in SLO.
MAPFACSLO has a fuel design dependency as shown below.
The applied TLO and SLO MAPLHGR limits are determined as follows:
MAPLHGR LimitTLO = MAPLHGRSS MAPLHGR LimitSLO = MAPLHGRSS x MAPFACSLO where MAPFACSLO = 0.80 for ATRIUM 10XM and ATRIUM 11 fuel Linear interpolation should be used to determine intermediate values between the values listed in the table.
MCPR Limits The MCPR limits presented in Tables 5 through 9 are based on the TLO and SLO SLMCPRs listed in Technical Specification 2.1.1.2 of 1.07 and 1.09, respectively.
* MCPR limits have a core power and core flow dependency. Power-dependent MCPRp limits are presented in Tables 5 through 8 while flow-dependent MCPRf limits are presented in Table 9.
* Power-dependent MCPRP limits are dependent on CAVEX, SCRAM insertion speed, EOOS, fuel design, number of operating recirculation loops (i.e., TLO or SLO), core flow and core thermal power. Values for the CAVEX breakpoints are provided in Table 4. See COLR section titled Equipment Out-of-Service for a list of analyzed EOOS conditions. Care should be used when selecting the appropriate limits set.
* The MCPR limits are established such that they bound all pressurization and non-pressurization events.
* The power-dependent MCPRp limits (Tables 5-8) must be adjusted by an adder of +0.02 when in SLO.
The applied TLO and SLO MCPR limits are determined as follows:
MCPR LimitTLO = (MCPRp, MCPRf)max MCPR LimitSLO = (MCPRp + 0.02, MCPRf)max Linear interpolation should be used to determine intermediate values between the values listed in the tables. Some of the limits tables show step changes at 26.0%P and 50.0%P. A subset of EOOS limits show an additional step change at 80%P. IF performing a hand calculation of a limit AND the power is exactly on the breakpoint (i.e. 26.0, 50.0 or 80.0), THEN select the most restrictive limit associated with the breakpoint.

No. 2B21-1325 B2C23 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0005-001                             Page 10, Revision 1 LHGR Limits Steady-state LHGRSS limits are provided for Framatome Fuel (Table 10). These steady-state LHGRSS limits must be modified as follows:
* Framatome Fuel LHGR limits have a core power and core flow dependency. Framatome Fuel power-dependent LHGRFACp multipliers (Tables 11-14) and flow-dependent LHGRFACf multipliers (Table 15) must be used to modify the steady-state LHGRSS limits (Table 10) for off-rated conditions.
* Framatome Fuel power-dependent LHGRFACp multipliers are dependent on CAVEX, SCRAM insertion speed, EOOS, fuel design, core flow and core thermal power. Values for the CAVEX breakpoints are provided in Table 4. See COLR section titled Equipment Out-of-Service for a list of analyzed EOOS conditions. Care should be used when selecting the appropriate multiplier set.
* The applied LHGR limit is not dependent on the number of operating recirculation loops. No adjustment to the LHGR limit is necessary for SLO.
The applied LHGR limit is determined as follows:
LHGR Limit = LHGRSS x (LHGRFACp, LHGRFACf)min Linear interpolation should be used to determine intermediate values between the values listed in the tables. Some of the limits tables show step changes at 26.0%P and 50.0%P. IF performing a hand calculation of a limit AND the power is exactly on the breakpoint (i.e. 26.0 or 50.0), THEN select the most restrictive limit associated with the breakpoint.
The cycle-specific off-rated flow dependent LHGR set down bounds those assumed in the MELLLA+
plant-specific ECCS-LOCA analyses.
CDA Setpoints Brunswick Unit 2 has implemented the stability Detect and Suppress Solution - Confirmation Density (DSS-CD) solution using the Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) as described in Reference 19.
Plant-specific analyses for the DSS-CD Solution are provided in Reference 23. The Detect and Suppress function of the DSS-CD solution based on the OPRM system relies on the Confirmation Density Algorithm (CDA), which constitutes the licensing basis. The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) solution may be used by the plant in the event the OPRM Upscale function is declared inoperable.
The CDA enabled through the OPRM system and the BSP solution described in Reference 23 provide the stability licensing bases for B2C23. The safety evaluation report for Reference 19 concluded that the DSS-CD solution is acceptable subject to certain cycle-specific limitations and conditions. These cycle-specific limitations and conditions are met for B2C23.
A reload DSS-CD evaluation has been performed in accordance with the licensing methodology described in Reference 19 to confirm the Amplitude Discriminator Setpoint (SAD) of the CDA established in Reference 23. The Cycle 23 DSS-CD evaluation demonstrates that: 1) the DSS-CD Solution is applicable to B2C23; and, 2) the SAD value of 1.10 established in Reference 23 is confirmed for operation of B2C23.
The SAD setpoint value of 1.10 is applicable to TLO and to SLO.
Reference 19 describes two BSP options that are based on selected elements from three distinct constituents: BSP Manual Regions, BSP Boundary, and Automated BSP (ABSP) setpoints.
The Manual BSP region boundaries and the BSP Boundary were calculated for Brunswick Unit 2 Cycle 23 for nominal feedwater temperature operation and reduced feedwater temperature. The endpoints of the regions are defined in Table 3.1 and Table 3.2. The Manual BSP region boundary endpoints are

Duke Energy, Nuclear Fuels Engineering, Nuclear Fuel Design                         Design Calc. No. 2B21-1325 B2C23 Core Operating Limits Report, BNEI-0400-0005-001                              Page 11, Revision 1 calculated with the Reference 18 methodology and connected using the Generic Shape Function (GSF),
which is described in Reference 19.
The ABSP Average Power Range Monitor (APRM) Simulated Thermal Power (STP) setpoints associated with the ABSP Scram Region are determined for Cycle 23 and are defined in Table 3.3. These ABSP setpoints are applicable to both TLO and SLO as well as nominal and reduced feedwater temperature operation.
The Manual Backup Stability Protection (BSP) Regions I and II are documented on the Power/Flow maps as is the modified APRM Simulated Thermal Power (STP) high SCRAM setpoints and the BSP Boundary.
The power/flow maps (Figures 1-6) were validated for B2C23 based on Reference 29 using the Reference 19 methodology to facilitate operation under DSS-CD as implemented by Function 2.f of Table 3.3.1.1-1 and LCO Conditions I and J of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1. The generation of these maps is documented in Reference 28. All maps illustrate the region of the power/flow map above 23% RTP and below 75% drive flow (correlated to core flow) where the OPRM system is required to be enabled. Figures 1-6 were included in the COLR as an operator aid and not a licensing requirement. Figures 5 and 6 are the power/flow maps for use in FWTR.
The maps supporting an operable OPRM (Figures 1, 3 and 5) show a Scram Avoidance Region, which is not a licensing requirement but is an operator aid to illustrate where there is increased probability the OPRM system may generate a scram to avoid an instability event. Figures 2, 4, and 6 support an inoperable OPRM and highlight the Manual Backup Stability Regions I and II, the modified APRM STP high SCRAM setpoints, and the BSP Boundary. Note that the STP scram and rod block limits are defined in Technical Specifications, the Technical Requirements Manual, and/or Plant procedures, and are included in the COLR as an operator aid rather than a licensing requirement.
Figures 3 and 4 implement the corrective action for AR-217345 which restricts reactor power to no more than 50% RTP when in SLO with OPRM operable or inoperable. This operator aid is intended to mitigate a spurious OPRM trip signal which could result from APRM noise while operating at high power levels.
RBM Setpoints The nominal trip setpoints and allowable values of the control rod withdrawal block instrumentation are presented in Table 1 and were determined to be consistent with the bases of the ARTS program (Reference 22). These setpoints will ensure the power-dependent MCPR limits will provide adequate protection against violation of the SLMCPR during a postulated CRWE event. Reference 27 revised these setpoints to reflect changes associated with the installation of the NUMAC PRNM system. RBM operability requirements, consistent with Notes (a) through (e) of Technical Specification Table 3.3.2.1-1, are provided in Table 2.
Equipment Out-of-Service Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 23 is analyzed for the following operating conditions with applicable MCPR, APLHGR and LHGR limits.
* Base Case Operation
* PROOS
* SLO
* Combined PROOS and TBVOOS
* TBVOOS
* Combined PROOS and FHOOS
* FHOOS
* Combined PROOS, TBVOOS and FHOOS
* Combined TBVOOS and FHOOS Base Case Operation as well as the above-listed EOOS conditions assume all the items OOS below.
These conditions are general analysis assumptions used to ensure conservative analysis results and were not meant to define specific EOOS conditions beyond those already defined in Technical Specifications.

* Any 1 inoperable SRV
* 2 inoperable TBV (Note that for TBVOOS, TBVOOS/FHOOS, PROOS/TBVOOS and PROOS/TBVOOS/FHOOS all 10 TBVs are assumed inoperable)
* Up to 40% of the TIP channels OOS
* Up to 50% of the LPRMs OOS Please note that during FFTR/Coastdown, FHOOS is included in Base Case Operation, TBVOOS, PROOS and PROOS/TBVOOS.
Single Loop Operation Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 23 may operate in SLO up to a maximum core flow of 45 Mlbm/hr which corresponds to a maximum power level of 71.1% RTP with applicable MCPR, APLHGR and LHGR limits.
These power and flow limitations also apply when operating with jet pump loop flow mismatch conditions (LCO 3.4.1). The following must be considered when operating in SLO:
* SLO is not permitted with RFWT (FHOOS).
* SLO is not permitted with TBVOOS.
* SLO is not permitted with MSIVOOS.
* SLO is not permitted within the MELLLA+ operating domain.
Various indicators on the Power/Flow Maps are provided not as operating limits but rather as a convenience for the operators. The purposes for some of these indicators are as follows:
* The SLO Entry Rod Line is shown on the TLO maps to avoid regions of instability in the event of a pump trip.
* A maximum core flow line is shown on the SLO maps to avoid vibration problems.
* APRM STP Scram and Rod Block nominal trip setpoint limits are shown at the estimated core flow corresponding to the actual drive flow-based setpoints to indicate where the Operator may encounter these setpoints (See LCO 3.3.1.1, Reactor Protection System Instrumentation Function 2.b: Average Power Range Monitors Simulated Thermal Power - High Allowable Value).
* When in SLO, Figures 3 and 4 implement the corrective action for AR-217345 which restricts reactor power to no more than 50% RTP with OPRM operable or inoperable. This operator aid is intended to mitigate a spurious OPRM trip signal which could result from APRM noise while operating at high power levels.
* If OPRMs are inoperable in SLO, the expansion of the ABSP region results in power being restricted to 39% RTP as shown in Figure 4.
Inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 23 may operate with an inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System over the entire MEOD range and cycle and in the MELLLA+ domain after achieving 13 GWd/MTU cycle exposure with applicable APLHGR, MCPR and LHGR limits as specified in the COLR. An operable Main Turbine Bypass System with only two inoperable bypass valves was assumed in the development of the Base Case Operation limits. Base Case Operation is synonymous with TBVINS. The following must be considered when operating with TBVOOS:
* Three or more inoperable bypass valves renders the entire Main Turbine Bypass System inoperable requiring the use of TBVOOS limits. The TBVOOS analysis supports operation with all bypass valves inoperable.
* Prior to reaching the EOCLB exposure breakpoint, operation with FWTR >10F and reactor power 23% RTP requires use of the TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* TBVOOS operation coincident with FHOOS is supported using the combined TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* TBVOOS operation coincident with PROOS is supported using the combined PROOS/TBVOOS limits.
* TBVOOS operation coincident with FHOOS and PROOS is supported using the combined

* SLO is not permitted with TBVOOS.
Feedwater Temperature Reduction Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 23 may operate with RFWT over the entire MEOD range and cycle with applicable APLHGR, MCPR and LHGR limits as specified in the COLR. NFWT is defined as the range of feedwater temperatures from NFWT to NFWT - 10F. NFWT and its allowable variation were assumed in the development of the Base Case Operation limits. The FHOOS limits and FFTR/Coastdown limits were developed for a maximum feedwater temperature reduction of 110.3F. The following must be considered when operating with RFWT:
* Although the acronyms FWTR, FHOOS, RFWT and FFTR all involve reduced feedwater temperature, the use of FFTR is reserved for cycle energy extension using reduced feedwater temperature at and beyond a core average exposure of EOCLB using FFTR/Coastdown limits.
* Prior to reaching the EOCLB exposure breakpoint, operation with FWTR >10F and reactor power 23% RTP requires use of the FHOOS limits.
* Until a core average exposure of EOCLB is reached, implementation of the FFTR/Coastdown limits is not required even if coastdown begins early.
* When operating with RFWT, the appropriate Stability DSS-CD Power/Flow Maps (Figures 5 and 6) must be used.
* FHOOS operation coincident with TBVOOS is supported using the combined TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* FHOOS operation coincident with PROOS is supported using the combined PROOS/FHOOS limits.
* FHOOS operation coincident with TBVOOS and PROOS is supported using the combined PROOS/TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* SLO is not permitted with RFWT.
* FWTR operation within the MELLLA+ operating domain is not allowed.
* NFWT limits have not been conservatively adjusted to eliminate the need to use RFWT limits below 50% RTP.
Pressure Regulator Out-of-Service Brunswick Unit 2, Cycle 23 may operate with one main turbine pressure regulator not available over the entire MEOD range and cycle and in the MELLLA+ domain after achieving 13 GWd/MTU cycle exposure with applicable APLHGR, MCPR and LHGR limits as specified in the COLR. The following must be considered when operating with PROOS:
* Operation with the backup electro-hydraulic control main turbine pressure regulator not available requires the use of PROOS limits. The PROOS analysis supports operation with one pressure regulator not available.
* With TBVINS, prior to reaching the EOCLB exposure breakpoint, operation with FWTR >10F and reactor power  23% RTP requires use of the PROOS/FHOOS limits.
* With TBVOOS, prior to reaching the EOCLB exposure breakpoint, operation with FWTR >10F and reactor power  23% RTP requires use of the PROOS/TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
* PROOS operation coincident with TBVOOS is supported using the combined PROOS/TBVOOS limits.
* PROOS operation coincident with FHOOS is supported using the combined PROOS/FHOOS limits.
* PROOS operation coincident with TBVOOS and FHOOS is supported using the combined PROOS/TBVOOS/FHOOS limits.
MELLLA+ Implementation Revision 1 of this COLR is being issued to support implementation of B2C23 operation in the MELLLA+
domain.
