MCEI-0400-280 Page 3 Revision 0 McGuire 1 Cycle 23 Core Operating Limits Report Implementation Instructions For Revision 0 Revision Description and PIP Tracking Revision 0 of the McGuire Unit 1 Cycle 23 COLR contains limits specific to the reload core.

The revision is applicable for Unit 1 operation with or without implementation of the measurement uncertainty recapture (MUR) power uprate.

There is no PIP associated with this revision.

Implementation Schedule The McGuire Unit I Cycle 23 COLR requires the reload 50.59 be approved prior to implementation and fuel loading.

Revision 0 may become effective any time during No MODE between cycles 22 and 23, but must become effective prior to entering MODE 6 which starts cycle 23. The McGuire Unit 1 Cycle 23 COLR will cease to be effective during No MODE between cycles 23 and 24.

Data files to be Implemented No data files are transmitted as part of this document.

MAH(X,Y) = The margin remaining in core location X,Y relative to the Operational DNB limits in the transient power distribution.

MAH(X,Y) is provided in Appendix Table A-3 for normal operation and in Appendix Table A-6 for power escalation testing during initial startup operation.

UMR = Uncertainty value for measured radial peaks (UMR = 1.0).

UMR is 1.0 since a factor of 1.04 is implicitly included in the variable MAH(X,Y).

TILT = Peaking penalty to account for allowable quadrant power tilt ratio of 1.02 (TILT = 1.035).

2.7.3 RRH = 3.34 where:

RRH =Thermal power reduction required to compensate for each 1% that the measured radial peak, F~m (X,Y) exceeds its limit. (0 < P < 1.0) 2.7.4 TRH = 0.04 where:

TRH = Reduction in the OTAT K1 setpoint required to compensate for each 1%

that the measured radial peak, FAH (X,Y) exceeds its limit.

• fl(AI) "negative" slope = N/A*

The fl(AI) negative breakpoints and slopes for OTAT are less restrictive than the OPAT f2 (AI) negative breakpoint and slope. Therefore, during a transient which challenges the negative imbalance limits, the OPAT f2 (AI) limits will result in a reactor trip before the OTAT fl(AI) limits are reached.

This makes implementation of the OTAT fl(AI) negative breakpoint and slope unnecessary.
