MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 3 CORE OPERATING LIMITS REPORT, CYCLE 15 In accordance with the Millstone Power Station Unit 3 (MPS3) Technical Specifications (TSs), Section 6.9.1.6.d, Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc., hereby submits, as Enclosure 1, the Cycle 15 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR).

The MPS3 COLR has been revised to incorporate the following:

• Editorial changes to increment the cycle number from 14 to 15.

• Revision of the MODE 5 (with RCS loops filled) shutdown margin requirements in Figure 4 to support Cycle 15 conditions.

• Cycle 15-specific changes to the W(Z) values in Tables 1 through 3.

• Revision of the burnup penalties for incore measurements in Table 4 to support Cycle 15 conditions.

• Editorial change to Reference 3.6 to correct a typographical error.

" Editorial change to the title name of Table 4 on Pages 8.1-3 and 8.1-24.

The COLR has been incorporated into the MPS3 Technical Requirements Manual.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact William D.

2 Section 2.14 was prepared by Dominion based on boron dilution analyses performed by Westinghouse.

3 This boron concentration bounds the condition of keff _<0.95 (all rods in less the most reactive two rods) and subcriticality (keff_1l.0 with all rods out).
