1.0 Core Operating Limits Report (COLR)

This Core Operating Limits Report for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP)

Cycle 27 at the Extended Power Uprate (EPU) of 2004 MWt with Maximum Extended Load Line Limit Plus (MELLLA+) is prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 5.6.3. The core operating limits are developed using NRC approved methodology (References 1, 3, and 11 ), and are established such that all applicable thermal limits of the plant safety analysis are met.

The SLMCPR of 1.15 was used for two-loop operation for all fuel types in Cycle 27. The SLMCPR for single loop operation is 1.15. These values are consistent with the values specified in Reference 2.

This report includes the Detect and Suppress Solution -Confirmation Density (DSS-CD) stability solution, which is required to operate in the MELLLA+ region of the Power-flow map.

This report includes using TRACG04 for the transient analyses. The implementation of TRACG for transient analyses at MNGP is documented in Reference 6.

3.0 Rod Block Monitor Operability Requirements The ARTS Rod Withdrawal Error (RWE) analysis (Reference 2) validated that the following MCPR values provide the required margin for full withdrawal of any control rod during Monticello Cycle 27:

For Power< 90%: MCPR 2 1.70 For Power 2 90%: MCPR 2 1.40 When the core power is less than 90% of rated and the MCPR is less than 1.70, then a limiting control rod pattern exists and the Rod Block Monitor is required to be operable. If the core power is greater than or equal to 90% and the MCPR is less than 1.40, then a limiting control rod pattern exists and the Rod Block Monitor is required to be operable.

5.0 Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) 5.1 Option A The Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR) for Option A does not account for scram speeds that are faster than those required by Technical Specifications.

5.1.1 Option A OLMCPR for Two Recirculation Loop Operation The Option A OLMCPR shall be determined for two recirculation loop operation as follows:

If core thermal power (P) is 2 40% of rated core thermal power, then the Option A OLMCPR for all fuel types is the greater of {1.74

• K(P) from Figure 3} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 4}, where 1.74 is the Option A OLMCPR at rated (100%) core thermal power reported in Table 32.

i.e. if P 2 40% rated core thermal power, then Option A OLMCPR limit

=Maximum of 1.74 * {K(P) from Figure 3} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 4}.

NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLLA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 4 of 50

If core thermal power (P) is < 40% of rated core thermal power, the Option A OLMCPR for all fuel types is obtained from Figure 3.

Reference:

Technical Specification Section 3.2.2.

5.1.2 Option A OLMCPR for Single Recirculation Loop Operation The Option A OLMCPR as defined above for two recirculation loop operation in Section 5.1.1 is the same OLMCPR to be used for single recirculation loop operation.

Reference:

Technical Specification Section 3.2.2.

5.2 Option B Option B does take into account the measured scram speeds that are faster than the Technical Specification requirements, thus reducing the potential consequences of a limiting transient. Calculation of the Option B OLMCPR value as a function of measured scram speeds is described in Section 10.

5.2.1 Option B OLMCPR for Two Recirculation Loop Operation The Option B OLMCPR shall be determined for two recirculation loop operation as follows:

The rated (1 00%) core thermal power Option B OLMCPR ( OLMCPR~~~nB ) is 1.62, and is reported in Table 32. This OLMCPR~~~nB of 1.62 is modified as described in Section 10 to be a function of the measured scram speeds to yield OLMCPR~;t:nB.

Then, if core thermal power (P) is ~ 40% of rated core thermal power, the Option B OLMCPR for all fuel types is the greater of:

OLMCPR~t:nB * {K(P) from Figure 3} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 4},

i.e. if P ~ 40% rated core thermal power, then Option B OLMCPR limit

=Maximum of {OLMCPR~=~nB

• K(P} from Figure 3} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 4}.

If core thermal power (P) is < 40% of rated core thermal power, the Option B OLMCPR for all fuel types is obtained from Figure 3.

5.3 Pressure Regulator Out of Service (PROOS) Operation Reference 18 (GE SIL 614, Revision 1) describes the impact of operation without a backup pressure regulator (also called PROOS). This section provides power dependent MCPR limits when a backup pressure regulator is not operational.

A Pressure Regulator Fails Down-Scale (PRFDS) event without backup pressure regulator was evaluated for Monticello (Reference 19). This event resulted in a more restrictive Power Dependent MCPR limit than required for normal reduced power operation with both pressure regulators operational. The off-rated flow dependent limits provided in Reference 19 have been validated for Cycle 27 (Reference 2). Figure 8 provides the required more restrictive power dependent MCPR ARTS limits for powers less than or equal to 85% and greater than or equal to 40%. For powers greater than 85% or below 40%, the power dependent MCPR and K(P} ARTS limits provided in Figure 3 are still valid. The ARTS limits are described in Reference 17. The new Pressure Regulator Out of Service limits are applicable for Cycle 27 (Reference 2).

Figure 8 combines the unchanged limits from Figure 3 along with the more restrictive limits determined in Reference 2 for PROOS operation. Figure 8 should only be used for operation without a backup pressure regulator. Figure 8 is valid for both Option A and Option B OLMCPR limits.

An interim MFLCPR Limit is provided in Figure 9. This limit should only be used if the Garde! thermal limit input has not been modified as described in Sections 5.3.1 or 5.3.2 to account for pressure regulator out of service operation. I.e., only Figure 8 or Figure 9 should be used to provide the appropriate PROOS limit. These figures should not be utilized in combination.

5.3.1 OLMCPR for Two Recirculation Loop Operation, WITHOUT A BACKUP PRESSURE REGULATOR.

The Option A or B OLMCPR shall be determined for two recirculation loop operation as follows:

The Option A OLMCPR is calculated as shown below for the Option B example with the following exception:

New

• The OLMCPRoptionB is replaced with the Option A OLMCPR of 1.74.

The Option B OLMCPR is calculated as follows:

The rated (100%) core thermal power Option B OLMCPR (OLMCPR~:~~nB) is 1.62, and is reported in Table 32. This OLMCPR~:~~nB of 1.62 is modified as described in Section 10 to be a function of the measured scram speeds to yield OLMCPR~~nB .

Then, if core thermal power (P) is;::: 85% of rated core thermal power, the Option B OLMCPR for all fuel types is the greater of:

OLMCPR~=~nB * {K(P) from Figure 8} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 4},

i.e. if P;::: 85% rated core thermal power, then Option B OLMCPR limit

=Maximum of {OLMCPR~~nB

• K(P) from Figure 8} or {MCPR(F) from Figure 4}.

If core thermal power (P) is < 85% of rated core thermal power, the OLMCPR for all fuel types is obtained from Figure 8.

5.3.2 OLMCPR for Single Recirculation Loop Operation, WITHOUT A BACKUP PRESSURE REGULATOR The Option A orB OLMCPR as defined previously for two recirculation loop operation in Section 5.3.1 is the same OLMCPR to be used for single recirculation loop operation:

6.0 Power-Flow Map The Power-Flow Operating Map based on analysis to support Cycle 27 is shown in Figures 5 and 6. The Power-Flow Operating Map is consistent with a rated power of 2004 MWt as described in Reference 14. The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) lines are described in Section 9 of this report.

Region I in Figures 5 and 6 is the Scram Region and Region II is the Controlled Entry Region. These two regions are applicable when the OPRM Upscale Trip is INOPERABLE.

8.0 Fuel Rod Heat Generation Rate 8.1 Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR) as a Function of Exposure The MAPLHGR limits in Tables 1 through 14 are conservative values bounding all fuel lattice types (all natural uranium lattices are excluded) in a given fuel bundle design, and are intended only for use in hand calculations as described below to establish MAPLHGR limits for Technical Specification 3.2.1. No channel bow effects are included in the bounding MAPLHGR values in Tables 1 through 14 as there are no reused channels.

MAPLHGR limits for each individual fuel lattice for a given bundle design as a function of axial location and average planar exposure are determined based on the approved methodology referenced in Monticello Technical Specification 5.6.3.b and are loaded into the process computer for use in core monitoring calculations.

When and if hand calculations are required:

NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLLA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 7 of 50

8.1.1 Two-Recirculation loop Operation (MAPLHGR)

At rated core thermal power and core flow conditions, the MAPLHGR limit for each fuel bundle design as a function of average planar exposure shall not exceed the bounding limits provided in Tables 1 through 14.

The MAPLHGR limit is adjusted for off-rated core thermal power and core flow conditions by determining the following:

MAPLHGR(P) = MAPFAC(P)

• MAPLHGR limit from Tables 1 through 14.

MAPLHGR(F) = MAPFAC(F)

• MAPLHGR limit from Tables 1 through 14.

where MAPFAC(P) and MAPFAC(F) are determined from Figures 1 and 2, respectively, and where P is the core thermal power in percent of rated, and F is the core flow in percent of rated.

The Technical Specification (TS) MAPLHGR limit is determined as follows:

MAPLHGR (TS) Limit= Minimum{MAPLHGR(P), MAPLHGR(F)}

Note that all natural uranium lattices are excluded in Tables 1 through 14.

Straight line interpolation between nearest data points is permitted only within each individual Table of Tables 1 through 14.

8.1.2 Single Recirculation Loop Operation (MAPLHGR)

Note that Single Loop Operation is not permitted in the MELLLA+ region.

When in single recirculation loop operation, perform the following:

8.1.2.1 Perform the action specified in Section 8.1.1 above.

8.1.2.2 Separately, apply the single loop operation multiplier to the limiting values of MAPLHGR from Tables 1 through 14 as follows:

for GE14C: multiplier is 0.83.

8.1.2.3 Select the more limiting (i.e. smaller) value from Sections 8.1.2.1 or 8.1.2.2.

Reference:

Technical Specification 3.2.1.

8.2 Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)

The uranium dioxide (U0 2) and gadolinia LHGR limits as a function of fuel rod peak pellet exposure for each bundle type in Cycle 27 is provided in Tables 15 through 28. The gadolinia LHGR limits in Tables 15 through 28 are bounding gadolinia LHGR limits for all the gadolinia concentrations occurring in each of the bundle types used in Cycle 27. The LHGR limits are fuel rod nodal limits, and are to be applied at every node of the fuel rod including the natural uranium lattices.

The individual LHGR limits for the uranium dioxide and gadolinia fuel rods in each fuel bundle type used in Cycle 27, as a function of axial location and pellet exposure are determined based on the approved methodology referenced in Monticello Technical Specification 5.6.3.b and are loaded into the process computer for use in core monitoring calculations.

NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLLA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 8 of 50

The LHGR limits are presented in this report for use when and if hand calculations are performed to demonstrate compliance with Technical Specification 3.2.3.

When and if hand calculations are performed:

8.2.1 Two-Recirculation Loop Operation (LHGR)

At rated core thermal power and core flow conditions, the LHGR limit for each fuel bundle design as a function of peak pellet exposure and fuel pin type shall not exceed the bounding limits provided in Tables 15 through 28.

The LHGR limit is adjusted for off-rated core thermal power and core flow conditions by determining the following:

LHGR(P) = MAPFAC(P)

• LHGR limit from Tables 15 through 28.

LHGR(F) = MAPFAC(F)

• LHGR limit from Tables 15 through 28.

where the multipliers MAPFAC(P) and MAPFAC(F) are determined from Figures 1 and 2, respectively, and where P is the core thermal power in percent of rated, and F is the core flow in percent of rated.

The Technical Specification (TS) LHGR limit is determined as follows:

LHGR TS Limit= Minimum{LHGR(P), LHGR(F)}

Note that the LHGR limits are fuel rod nodal limits, and are to be applied at every node of the fuel rod, including the natural uranium lattices. Straight line interpolation between nearest data points is permitted only within each individual Tables 15 through 28.

8.2.2 Single Recirculation Loop Operation (LHGR)

Note that Single Loop Operation is not permitted in the MELLLA+ region.

When in single recirculation loop operation, perform the following:

8.2.2.1 Perform the same action specified in Section 8.2.1 above. There are no separate single loop operation specific multipliers applicable to LHGR, i.e. the multipliers from Section 8.2.1 also apply to single recirculation loop operation.

Reference:

Technical Specification Section 3.2.3.

8.3 Pressure Regulator Out of Service (PROOS) Operation Reference 18 (GE SIL 614, Revision 1) describes the impact of operation without a backup pressure regulator (also called PROOS). This section provides power dependent MAPLHGR and LHGR limits when a backup pressure regulator is not operational.

The Pressure Regulator Fails Down-Scale (PRFDS) event without backup pressure regulator evaluated for Monticello in Reference 19 resulted in more restrictive Power Dependent MAPLHGR and LHGR limits than required for normal reduced power operation with both pressure regulators operational. When this event was re-evaluated for Cycle 27 (Reference 2), the results confirmed the MAPLHGR and LHGR limits from Reference 19.

NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLLA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 9 of 50

The MAPLHGR and LHGR limits are adjusted for off-rated core thermal power and core flow conditions by determining the following:

MAPLHGR(P) = MAPFAC(P)

• MAPLHGR limit from Tables 1 through 14.

LHGR(P) = MAPFAC(P)

• LHGR limit from Tables 15 through 28.

where MAPFAC(P) is determined from Figure 1 and where P is the core thermal power in percent of rated.

The Technical Specification (TS) MAPLHGR and LHGR limits are determined as follows:

MAPLHGR (TS) Limit= Minimum{MAPLHGR(P), MAPLHGR(F)}

LHGR (TS) Limit= Minimum{LHGR(P), LHGR(F)}

Figure 10 combines the unchanged limits from Figure 1 along with the more restrictive limits determined in Reference 2 for PROOS operation. Figure 10 should only be used for operation without a backup pressure regulator.

Interim MAPRAT and MFLPD Limits are provided in Figures 11 and 12, respectively, to address the more restrictive MAPLHGR and LHGR Limits identified in the Reference 2 analysis. These limits should only be used if the Garde! thermal limit input has not been modified to account for pressure regulator out of service operation. I.e., only Figure 10 or Figure 11 should be used to provide the appropriate PROOS MAPLHGR limit; and only Figure 10 or Figure 12 should be used to provide the appropriate PROOS LHGR limit.

Figure 10 should not be utilized in combination with either Figure 11 or Figure 12.

9.0 Core Stability Requirements Stability DSS-CD Solution Monticello has implemented the DSS-CD Long Term Stability solution using the Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) as described in Reference 11. Plant-specific analyses for the DSS-CD solution are provided in Reference 12. The Detect and Suppress function of the DSS-CD solution based on the OPRM system relies on the Confirmation Density Algorithm (CDA), which constitutes the licensing basis. The Backup Stability Protection (BSP) solution should be used by the plant in the event that the OPRM system is declared inoperable.

The CDA enabled through the OPRM system and the BSP solution described in Reference 12 provide the stability licensing bases for Monticello Cycle 27. The safety evaluation report for Reference 11 concluded that the DSS-CD solution is acceptable subject to certain cycle-specific limitations and conditions. These cycle-specific limitations and conditions are met for Monticello Cycle 27.

Detect and Suppress Evaluation A reload DSS-CD evaluation has been performed in accordance with the licensing methodology described in Reference 11 to confirm the Amplitude Discriminator Setpoint (SAo) of the CDA established in Reference 12. The Cycle 27 DSS-CD evaluation and the results for the DSS-CD Reload Confirmation Applicability Checklist documented in Reference 2 demonstrate that: 1) the DSS-CD Solution is applicable to Monticello Cycle 27; and, 2) the SAo =1.1 0 established in Reference 12 is confirmed for operation of Monticello Cycle 27.

The SAo =1.1 0 setpoint is applicable to TLO and to SLO.

NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLlA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 32 of 50

Backup Stability Protection Reference 11 describes two BSP options that are based on selected elements from three distinct constituents: BSP Manual Regions, BSP Boundary, and Automated BSP (ABSP) setpoints. The BSP options are only applicable when the Upscale Trip function of the OPRM is INOPERABLE.

Upon declaring the Upscale Trip function of the OPRM INOPERABLE, the BSP Manual Regions are immediately implemented. Then, the ABSP scram is implemented as directed in TS LCO 3.3.1.1.1. If the ABSP scram is not implemented as directed in TS LCO 3.3.1.1.1, then the plant is maneuvered to operate below the BSP Boundary.

The Manual BSP region boundaries and the BSP Boundary were calculated for Monticello Cycle 27 for normal feedwater temperature operation. The endpoints of the regions are defined in Table 29. The Scram Region boundary, the Controlled Entry Region boundary, and the BSP Boundary are shown in Figure 5, and are given in greater detail in Figure 6. The region boundaries shown in Figures 5 and 6 are defined using the Generic Shape Function (GSF), which is described in Reference 11. The BSP Boundary shown in Figures 5 and 6 is a straight line through the endpoints defined in Table 29.

The ABSP APRM Simulated Thermal Power setpoints associated with the ABSP Scram Region from Reference 13 are confirmed for Cycle 27 and are defined in Table 30. These ABSP setpoints bound both TLO and SLO.

NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLLA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 34 of 50

Actions For Entry Into Controlled Entry Region If entry is inadvertent or forced, immediately exit from region is required. The region can be exited by control rod insertion or core flow increase. Increasing the core flow by restarting an idle recirculation pump is not an acceptable method of exiting the region.

Deliberate entry into the Controlled Entry Region requires compliance with at least one of the stability controls outlined below:

1. Maintain core average boiling boundary (BB) ~ 4.0 feet.

2. Maintain core decay ratio (DR) < 0.6 as calculated by an on-line stability monitor.

3. Determine appropriated limits for core DR (<0.60) as calculated by a core stability monitor or by pre-analysis of a reactor state trajectory through the Manual BSP Controlled Entry Region.

4. Continuous dedicated monitoring of real time control room neutron monitoring instrumentation with manual scram required upon indication of a reactor instability induced power oscillation.

Caution is required whenever operating near the Controlled Entry Region boundary, and it is recommended that the amount of time spent operating near this region be minimized.

Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 10.0 Scram Time Dependence The Technical Specification Option A (no scram times dependence) OLMCPR can be found in Section 5 of this report. If the Option B scram time dependence option is preferred, then the procedure listed in Section 10.1 may be used.

10.1 Technical Specification Scram Time Dependence Technical Specification 3.1.4 and Table 3.1.4-1 provide the scram insertion time versus position requirements for continued operations. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements SR 3.1.4.1 - SR 3.1.4.4 provide the surveillance requirements for the CRDs. Data from testing of the CRDs, or from an unplanned scram, is summarized in Surveillance Test 0081. Reference 8 describes the procedure below.

Using this cycle specific information, values of Tave can be calculated in accordance with the equation below for the notch 36 position.

The Equation (1) used to calculate the average of all the scram data generated to date in the cycle is:

n LNtri i=l Tave = n (1)

LNi i=l where: n = the number of surveillance tests performed to date in the cycle; NAD-MN-035, Monticello Cycle 27 EPU/MELLLA+ COLR, Revision 0 Page 35 of 50

/1 sum of the scram times to the 36th notch position of all active rods measured to date in the cycle to comply with the Technical Specification INiri= surveillance requirements SR 3.1.4.1, SR 3.1.4.2, SR 3.1.4.3, SR 3.1.4.4.

i=l The average scram time, Tave is tested against the analysis mean using the following equation:

T ave < TB (2) where:

(j (3)

The parameters 11 and a are the mean and standard deviation of the distribution of the average scram insertion time to notch 36 position in the ODYN Option 8 analysis (Table 31 ), and N1 = number of active control rods tested at SOC.

Table 31 GEMINI Methods, CRD Notch Position for 'ts Determination 0'

0.830 0.019 If the cycle average scram time satisfies the Equation 2 criteria, continued plant operation under the ODYN Option 8 operating limit minimum critical power ratio (OLMCPR) for pressurization events is permitted. If not, the OLMCPR for pressurization events must be re-established, based on linear interpolation between the Option 8 and Option A OLMCPRs.

Note that Option 8 has an OLMCPR applicable to two recirculation loop operation, and an OLMCPR applicable to single recirculation loop operation. The Option 8 OLMCPR value for single recirculation loop operation is the same as the Option 8 OLMCPR value for two recirculation loop operation.

The equation to establish the new operating limit for pressurization events is given below:

(Technical Specification Table 3.1.4-1 at notch position 36) tiOLMCPR = the difference between the Option A OLMCPR and the Option B OLMCPR reported in Table 32.

Table 32 Cycle OLMCPR Values Transient

1. The Turbine Trip with Bypass transient will be used as the Minimum OLMCPR transient for Option B Analysis.

2. All the OLMCPR values reported in Table 32 are for two recirculation loop operation.

3. For Options A and B, the OLMCPR value for single recirculation loop operation is equal to the OLMCPR value for two recirculation loop operation.

Sample Calculation:

Assume two recirculation loop operation.

If 'tave is 0.820 seconds (scram time test) and -c 8 (as calculated with equation 3) is 0.850 seconds then the criteria from Equation 2 is met and the Option B OLMCPR of 1.62 can be used.

If 'tave is 0.950 seconds and -c 8 is 0.850 seconds, then Equation 2 is not met and a new Option B OLMCPR must be calculated using Equation 4 above.

The example calculation is as follows:

OLMCPRNEw =

Note: If single recirculation loop operation Option B OLMCPR value is desired, the same value is used, i.e. 1.63.
