Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 Core Operating Limits Report 3.0 MAPLHGR Limits 3.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.1 3 .2 Description The limiting MAPLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fuel type as a function of average planar exposure is given in Table 3-1. For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-2. The power and flow dependent multipliers for MAPLHGR have been removed and replaced with LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F); therefore, MAPFAC{P) and MAPFAC(F) are equal to 1.0 for all power and flow conditions (Reference 2). | |||
ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers, which allow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR thermal limit. The flow dependent adjustment MCPR(F) is sufficiently generic to apply to all fuel types and operating domains.

In addition, there are ten sets of power dependent MCPR multipliers (Kp) for use with BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS, PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition is included in the BASE MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) limits and Kp multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOS limits and multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operating conditions. | TABLE3-1 MAPLHGR versus Average Planar Exposure-All Fuel Types (Reference 2) | ||

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 I Core Operating Limits Report 5.0 LHGR Limits 5.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.4 5.2 Description The LHGR limit is the product of the exposure dependent LHGR limit (from Table 5-1 for U0 2 fuel rods and Table 5-2 for Gadolinia fuel rods) and the minimum of: the power dependent LHGR Factor, LHGRFAC(P), and the flow dependent LHGR Factor, LHGRFAC(F). For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 5-3 and applied in Table 5-5. No further Single Loop Operating multipliers need to be applied to the values in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. | |||
ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit multipliers, which allow for a more reliable administration of the LHGR thermal limits. There are two sets of flow dependent LHGR multipliers for dual-loop and single-loop operation. In addition, there are ten sets of power dependent LHGR multipliers for use with the BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS and PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition is included in the BASE LHGRF AC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOS multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires core thermal power< 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. The ARTS LHGR multipliers are shown in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. Linear interpolation should be used for points not listed in Reference 7. | |||
Thermal limit monitoring must be performed with the more limiting LHGR limit resulting from the power and flow biased calculation. The LHGRFAC(P) curves are independent ofrecirculation pump trip operability. | |||

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 Core Operating Limits Report 3.0 MAPLHGR Limits 3.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.1 3 .2 Description The limiting MAPLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fuel type as a function of average planar exposure is given in Table 3-1. For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-2. The power and flow dependent multipliers for MAPLHGR have been removed and replaced with LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F); therefore, MAPFAC{P) and MAPFAC(F) are equal to 1.0 for all power and flow conditions (Reference 2).
LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) are addressed in Section 5.0.

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 I Core Operating Limits Report 4.0 MCPR Limits 4.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.3 4.2 Description Table 4-1 is derived from Reference 2 and is valid for all fuel types and all operating domains. Table 4-1 includes treatment of these MCPR limits for all conditions listed in Section 9.0, Modes of Operation.
ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers, which allow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR thermal limit. The flow dependent adjustment MCPR(F) is sufficiently generic to apply to all fuel types and operating domains. The power dependent adjustment MCPR(P) is independent of recirculation pump trip operability. MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) are independent of Scram Time Option. In addition, there are ten sets of power dependent MCPR multipliers (Kp) for use with BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS, PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition is included in the BASE MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) limits and Kp multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOS limits and multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires core thermal power < 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) adjustments are provided in Tables 4-2 and 4-3. 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.

When Tau does not equal 0 or I, determine OLMCPR via linear interpolation. For PROOS+TBSOOS and PROOS+RPTOOS, only Option B is allowed.
2 Value is adjusted to obtain an OPRM amplitude setpoint of 1.12.
3 For single-loop operation, the MCPR operating limit is 0.03 greater than the analyzed two loop value.
However, a minimum value of 1.58 is required to obtain an OLMCPR limit set by the Single Loop Operation Recirculation Pump Seizure Event.

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 I Core Operating Limits Report 5.0 LHGR Limits 5.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.4 5.2 Description The LHGR limit is the product of the exposure dependent LHGR limit (from Table 5-1 for U0 2 fuel rods and Table 5-2 for Gadolinia fuel rods) and the minimum of: the power dependent LHGR Factor, LHGRFAC(P), and the flow dependent LHGR Factor, LHGRFAC(F). For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 5-3 and applied in Table 5-5. No further Single Loop Operating multipliers need to be applied to the values in Tables 5-4 and 5-5.
ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit multipliers, which allow for a more reliable administration of the LHGR thermal limits. There are two sets of flow dependent LHGR multipliers for dual-loop and single-loop operation. In addition, there are ten sets of power dependent LHGR multipliers for use with the BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS and PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition is included in the BASE LHGRF AC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOS multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires core thermal power< 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. The ARTS LHGR multipliers are shown in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. Linear interpolation should be used for points not listed in Reference 7.
Thermal limit monitoring must be performed with the more limiting LHGR limit resulting from the power and flow biased calculation. The LHGRFAC(P) curves are independent ofrecirculation pump trip operability.
