3. General Information Power and flow dependent limits are listed for various power and flow levels. Linear interpolation is to be used to find intermediate values.

Rated core flow is 108.5 Mlbm/hr. Operation up to 105% rated flow is licensed for this cycle. Licensed rated thermal power is 3546 MWth.

For thermal limit monitoring above 100% rated power or 100% rated core flow, the 100% rated power and the 100% core flow values, respectively, can be used unless otherwise indicated in the applicable table.

Table 3-1 defines the three exposure ranges used in the COLR. The end of rated (EOR) exposure is defined as the cycle exposure corresponding to all rods out, 100% power/100% flow, and normal feedwater temperature.

The term (EOR - 2288 MWd/ST) means the FOR exposure minus 2288 MWd/ST of exposure. The value of the FOR exposure is based on actual plant operation and is thus determined from projections to this condition made near, but before, the time when the EOR16 - 2288 MWd/ST exposure will be reached. For cycle exposure dependent limits at the exact MOC exposure, the more limiting of the BOC to MOC and the MOC to EOC limits should be used. This can be achieved by applying the MOC to EOC limits to the MOC point as all cycle exposure dependent limits in the MOC to EOC limit sets are the same as, or more limiting than, those in the BOC to MOC limit sets.

4. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate Technical Specification Sections 3.2.1 and 3.4.1 The MAPLHGR values for the most limiting lattice of each fuel type as a function of average planar exposure are given in Tables 4-1 and 4-2. During single loop operation, these limits are multiplied by the fuel-dependent SLO multiplier listed in Table 4-3. The MAPLHGR values in Tables 4-1 and 4-2 along with the MAPLHGR SLO multipliers in Table 4-3 provide coverage for all modes of operation.

M anual Flow Control M C PR Limits The steady-state OLMCPRs given in Table 5-2 are the maximum values obtained from analysis of the pressurization events, non-pressurization events, and the Option III stability evaluation. MCPR values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference 7. Table 5-2 is used in conjunction with the ARTS-based power (Kp) and flow (MCPRF) dependencies presented in Tables 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 below. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow condition by evaluating the power and flow dependent MCPR values and selecting the greater of the two.

5.1.1. Power-Dependent MCPR The power-dependent MCPR multiplier, Kp, is determined from Table 5-3, and is dependent only on the power level and the Application Group (EOOS). The product of the steady state OLMCPR and the proper Kp provides the power-dependent OLMCPR.

5.1.2. Flow- Dependent MCPR Tables 5-4 through 5-5 give the MCPRF limit as a function of the core flow, based on the applicable plant conditions. The MCPRF limit determined from these tables is the flow-dependent OLMCPR.

5.2. Scram Time Option A and Option B MCPR analyses and results are dependent upon core average control rod blade scram speed insertion times.

The Option A scram time is the Improved Technical Specification scram speed based insertion time. The core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to the Technical Specification scram speed insertion time to utilize the Option A MCPR limits. Reload analyses performed by GNF for Cycle 16 Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20% core average insertion time of 0.900 seconds (Reference 10).

To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed insertion times, the core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to 0.694 seconds (Reference 10) (0.672 seconds at notch position 39, Reference 11). See Table 5-1 for a summary of scram time requirements related to the use of Option A and Option B MCPR limits.

If the core average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, but is within the Option A criteria, the appropriate steady state MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits with standard mathematical rounding to two decimal places. When performing the linear interpolation to determine MCPR limits, ensure that the time used for Option A is 0.900 seconds (0.875 seconds to notch position 39, Reference 11). Note that making interpolations using the Table 5-2 data is conservative because the stability based OLMCPR sets the limit in many conditions. The Option A to Option B linear interpolation need not include the stability OLMCPR penalty on the endpoints when the calculation is made. However, the result of the linear interpolation is required to be 1.51 or greater for the steady state OLMCPR due to the OPRM PBDA setpoint (see Section 9 of the COLR and Reference 7).

5.3. Recirculation Flow Control Valve Settings Cycle 16 was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 105%; therefore the recirculation pump flow control valves must be set to maintain core flow less than 105% (113.925 Mlbm/hr) for all runout events.

8. Traversing In-Core Probe System 8.1. Description When the traversing in-core probe (TIP) system (for the required measurement locations) is used for recalibration of the LPRM detectors and monitoring thermal limits, the TIP system shall be operable with the following:

1. movable detectors, drives and readout equipment to map the core in the required measurement locations, and

2. indexing equipment to allow all required detectors to be calibrated in a common location.

The following applies for use with 3DM (Reference 4):

The total number of failed and/or bypassed LPRMs does not exceed 25%. In addition, no more than 14 TIP channels can be OOS (failed or rejected).

Otherwise, with the TIP system inoperable, suspend use of the system for the above applicable calibration functions.

8.2. Bases The operability of the TIP system with the above specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this equipment accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core. The normalization of the required detectors is performed internal to the core monitoring software system.

The OPRM PBDA trip settings are based, in part, on the cycle specific OLMCPR and the power and flow dependent MCPR limits. Any change to the OLMCPR values and/or the power and flow dependent MCPR limits 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.

Equipment Out of Service Options (1) (2) (4) (5) Short Name Base Case (Option A or B) (3) Base Base Case + SLO (Option A or B) Base SLO Base Case + TCVSC + RPTOOS + PROOS (Option A or B) Combined EOOS 1 Base Case + TCVSC + RPTOOS + PROOS + SLO (Option A or B) Combined EOOS 1 SLO Base Case + TCVSC + TBVOOS (all 5 valves) (Option A or B) Combined EOOS 2 Base Case + TCVSC + TBVOOS (all 5 valves) + SLO (Option A or B) Combined EOOS 2 SLO Base Case + TCVSC + TBVOOS (all 5 valves) + RPTOOS + PROOS (Option A or B) Combined EOOS 3 Base Case + TCVSC + TBVOOS (all 5 valves) + RPTOOS + PROOS + SLO (Option A or B) Combined EOOS 3 SLO (1) Base case includes 1 SRVOOS + 1 TCV/TSV OOS + FWHOOS/FFWTR + 1 MSIVOOS + 2 TBVOOS + PLUOOS (Reference 7). All Modes of Operation and EOOS Combinations allow 1 TIPOOS (up to 14 TIP channels not available) any time during the cycle, including BOC, and up to 25% of the LPRMs out-of -service (Reference 4). The FWHOOS/FFWTR analyses cover a maximum reduction of 100° F for the feedwater temperature. A nominal LPRM calibration interval of 2000 EFPH (2500 EFPH maximum) is supported for L2C16.

(2) TBVOOS (all 5 valves) is the turbine bypass system out of service which means that 5 TBVs are not credited for fast opening and 3 TBVs are not credited to open in pressure control. For the 2 TBVOOS condition that is a part of the base case, the assumption is that both of the TBVs do not open on any signal and thus remain shut for the transients analyzed (i.e. 3 TBVs are credited to open in pressure control) (Reference 10). The MCFL is currently set at 126.6 and will only allow opening of TBV's #1, #2, #3, and #4 during a slow pressurization event. The MCFL does not use the TBV position feedback signal to know how many TBVs have opened or how far each has opened. The #5 TBV is not available based on the current MCFL setpoint and thus cannot be used as one of the credited valves to open in pressure control.

(3) With all TCV/TSV In-Service, the Base Case should be used with the LHGRFACF values from Table 6-5 (Reference 7).

With 1 TCV/TSV OOS, the Base Case must be used with the LHGRFACF values from Table 6-4. The one Stuck Closed TCV and/or TSV EOOS conditions require power level 5 85% of rated. The one MSIVOOS condition is also supported as long as thermal power is maintained <_ 75% of the rated (Reference 7 Appendix D).

(4) The + sign that is used in the Equipment Out of Service Option / Application Group descriptions designates an "and/or".

(5) All EOOS Options (Reference 7 Application Groups) are applicable to ELLLA, MELLLA, ICF and Coastdown realms of operation with the exception that SLO is not applicable to MELLLA or ICF (References 5 and 6). The MOC to EOC exposure range limit sets are generated by GNF to include application to coastdown operation (Methodology Reference 5).
