Dear Sirs:

Subject:

Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station (PVNGS) Units 1, 2, 3 Docket Nos. STN 50-528, 50-529 and 50-530 Unit 1 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Revision 23 Unit 2 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Revision 19 Unit 3 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Revision 22 Pursuant to PVNGS Technical Specifications, Section 5.6.5d, enclosed are the Units 1, 2 and 3 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR), Revisions 23, 19 and 22, respectively, which were made effective December 20, 2013. The following change was implemented in these COLR revisions:

Figure 3.1.5-1 revised to include an exemption to the immediate downpower requirement, allowed if certain prerequisites are met, for a single small CEA misalignment (greater than 6.6 inches but less than 9.9 inches) in the top 9.9 inches of the active fuel region.

No commitments are being made to the NRC by this letter. Should you need further information regarding this submittal, please contact Robert K. Roehler, Licensing Section Leader, at (623) 393-5241.

Sincerely, Thomas N. Weber Department Leader, Regulatory Affairs TNW/RKR/KAR/hsc

-0.28 < ASI < 0.17 for power >20% and < 50%

COLSS OUT OF SERVICE (CPC)

-0.10*< ASI

  • 0.10 for power >20%

3.3.12 - Boron Dilution Alarm System (BDAS)

With one or both start-up channel high neutron flux alarms inoperable, the RCS boron concentration shall be determined at the applicable monitoring frequency specified in Tables 3.3.12-1 through 3.3.12-5.

3.9.1 - Boron Concentration The boron concentration of all filled portions of the Reactor Coolant System and the refueling canal shall be maintained at a uniform concentration > 3000 ppm.

PVNGS UNIT 2 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT Revision 19 The cycle-specific operating limits for the specifications listed are presented below.

3. . I - Shutdown Margin (SDM) - Reactor Trip Breakers Open The Shutdown Margin shall be greater than or equal to that shown in Figure 3.1.1-1.

3.1.2 - Shutdown Margin (SDM) - Reactor Trip Breakers Closed The Shutdown Margin shall be greater than or equal to that shown in Figure 3.1.2-1.

3.1 .4 - Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)

The moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) shall be within the area of Acceptable Operation shown in Figure 3.1.4-1.

3.1.5 - Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment With one or more full-strength or part-strength CEAs misaligned from any other CEAs in its group by more than 6.6 inches, the minimum required MODES I and 2 core power reduction is specified in Figure 3.1.5-1. The required power reduction is based on the initial power before reducing power.

3.1.7 - Regulating CEA Insertion Limits With COLSS IN SERVICE, regulating CEA groups shall be limited to the withdrawal sequence and to the insertion limitsI shown in Figure 3.1.7-12; with COLSS OUT OF SERVICE, regulating CEA groups shall be limited to the withdrawal sequence and to the insertion limits1 shown in Figure 3.1.7-2.2 Regulating Groups 1 and 2 CEAs shall be maintained > fully withdrawn ' 3 while in Modes I and 2 (except while performing SR 3.1.5.3). When > 20% power 1

The AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT (Tq) shall be less than or equal to 10% with COLSS IN SERVICE when power is greater than 20% and less than or equal to 50%. Additionally, the AZIMUTHAL POWER TILT (Tq) shall be less than or equal to 5% with COLSS IN SERVICE when power is greater than 50%. See Figure 3.2.3-1.

3.2.4 - Departure From Nucleate Boiling Ratio (DNBR)

COLSS IN SERVICE and Both CEACs INOPERABLE in Any OPERABLE CPC Channel - Maintain COLSS calculated core power less than or equal to COLSS calculated core power operation limit based on DNBR decreased by the allowance shown in Figure 3.2.4-1.

COLSS OUT OF SERVICE and CEAC(s) OPERABLE - Operate within the region of acceptable operation of Figure 3.2.4-2 using any operable CPC channel.

COLSS OUT OF SERVICE and Both CEACs INOPERABLE in Any OPERABLE CPC Channel - Operate within the region of acceptable operation of Figure 3.2.4-3 using any operable CPC channel with both CEACs INOPERABLE.

3.3.12 - Boron Dilution Alarm System (BDAS)

With one or both start-up channel high neutron flux alarms inoperable, the RCS boron concentration shall be determined at the applicable monitoring frequency specified in Tables 3.3.12-1 through 3.3.12-5.
