Limitation/Condition 6 (R-factor)
The plant specific R-factor calculation at a bundle level was performed consistent with lattice axial void conditions expected for the hot channel operating state applicable to this cycle of operation. For Hope Creek Cycle 17 at the EPU licensed power level, a 60% void profile was used for the calculation of bundle R-factors.

Limitations/Conditions 10 and 11 (Thermal/Mechanical Overpower)
As required by Limitation 10 the plant limiting Thermal and Mechanical Overpower results are provided in Table G-1. The results are summarized as a percent margin to both of these limits.Table G-1 Margin to Thermal Overpower and Mechanical Overpower Limits Criteria GE14C Thermal Overpower Margin 39%Mechanical Overpower Margin 39%These results have been confirmed to meet the required 10% margin to the design limits for all fuel types as can be observed.Limitation/Condition 17 (Steady State 5 Percent Bypass Voiding)The bypass voiding condition was evaluated for the licensed core loading and confirmed that the bypass void fraction remained below 5 percent at all LPRM levels when operating at steady-state conditions within the licensed upper boundary.
As required by Limitation 10 the plant limiting Thermal and Mechanical Overpower results are provided in Table G-1. The results are summarized as a percent margin to both of these limits.
For a power/flow condition that conservatively bounded the licensed power/flow upper boundary, the bypass void fraction at the D level LPRM location was calculated to be 0.0%.Page 94 Hope Creek R1o~lnad 1 tq 0000-0105-6621-SRLR Reviqinn 0 Reload 16 Appendix H Reduced Feedwater Temperature BSP Regions The endpoints of the BSP regions for Reduced Feedwater Temperature operation are defined in Tables H-1 and H-2.

The proposed BSP region is conservative and bounds the calculated BSP region end points.To support the initial introduction of GE141 Isotope Test Assemblies (ITAs), this appendix provides the calculated BSP region end points and decay ratios. These calculated power/flow points and decay ratios represent typical calculations for Hope Creek.

These GE14I bundles, also referred to as GE14I Isotope Test Assemblies (ITAs), were designed for mechanical, nuclear and thermal-hydraulic compatibility with the GE14C fuel designs. The subject core was designed such that the ITAs would be placed in non-limiting locations with respect to thermal limit margins and shutdown margins. The analysis results reported in this report are applicable to GE14I unless otherwise specified.
The bypass voiding condition was evaluated for the licensed core loading and confirmed that the bypass void fraction remained below 5 percent at all LPRM levels when operating at steady-state conditions within the licensed upper boundary. For a power/flow condition that conservatively bounded the licensed power/flow upper boundary, the bypass void fraction at the D level LPRM location was calculated to be 0.0%.
Section 11 of this report presents the GE14C cycle-dependent MCPR limits; an adder of 0.07 should be applied to these results for the GE141 ITAs.References for Appendix J J-1.

The proposed BSP region is conservative and bounds the calculated BSP region end points.
To support the initial introduction of GE141 Isotope Test Assemblies (ITAs), this appendix provides the calculated BSP region end points and decay ratios. These calculated power/flow points and decay ratios represent typical calculations for Hope Creek. The plant- and cycle-specific calculations provide reasonable assurance that the thermal hydraulic stability as prescribed by Option III with respect to the size of the BSP regions is maintained with ITAs in the Hope Creek core.

7 For SLO, the MCPR operating limit is 0.02 greater than the two loop value.

8 The safety limit values presented include a 0.02 adder in accordance with' extended operating domain licensing commitments.

9 The OLMCPR values presented in the Limiting Pressurization Events summary table have been adjusted to include a 0.01 adder in accordance with extended operating domain licensing commitments. OLMCPR values presented in the detailed Pressurization Event tables do NOT include this adjustment.

10The cycle-independent OLMCPR for the recirculation pump seizure event for GE14C is 1.48 based on the cycle-specific SLO SLMCPR. When adjusted for the off-rated power/flow conditions of SLO, this limit corresponds to a rated OLMCPR of 1.29. This limit does not require an adjustment for the SLO SLMCPR.

14. Control Rod Drop Analysis Results Banked Position Withdrawal Sequence is utilized at Hope Creek Generating Station Unit 1; therefore, the control rod drop accident analysis is not required. NRC approval is documented in NEDE-2401 1-P-A-US.
15. Stability Analysis Results 15.1 Stability Option III Solution Hope Creek has implemented BWROG Long Term Stability Solution Option III using the Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) as described in Reference 1 in Section 15.4. The plant specific Hot Channel Oscillation Magnitude (HCOM) (Reference 2 in Section 15.4) and other cycle specific stability parameters are used in the Cycle 17 Option III stability evaluation. Backup Stability Protection (BSP) regions are used by the plant in the event that the Option III OPRM system is declared inoperable.

The following Option III OPRM stability setpoint determination described in Section 15.2 and the implementation of the associated BSP Regions described in Section 15.3 provide the stability licensing bases for Hope Creek Cycle 17.

15.2 Detect and Suppress Evaluation A reload Option III evaluation has been performed in accordance with the licensing methodology described in Reference 3 in Section 15.4. The stability based OLMCPR is determined for two conditions as a function of OPRM amplitude setpoint. The two conditions evaluated are: (1) a postulated oscillation at 45% rated core flow quasi steady-state operation (SS), and (2) a postulated oscillation following a two recirculation pump trip (2PT) from the limiting rated power operation state point.

The OPRM-setpoint-dependent OLMCPR(SS) and OLMCPR(2PT) values are calculated for Cycle 17 in accordance with the BWROG regional mode DIVOM guidelines described in Reference 4 in Section 15.4. The Cycle 17 Option III evaluation provides adequate protection against violation of the SLMCPR for the two postulated reactor instability events as long as the plant OLMCPR is equal to or greater than OLMCPR(SS) and OLMCPR(2PT) for the selected OPRM setpoint in Table 15-2.

The relationship between the OPRM Successive Confirmation Count Setpoint and the OPRM Amplitude Setpoint is provided in Reference 3 in Section 15.4 and Table 15-1. For intermediate OPRM Amplitude Setpoints, the corresponding OPRM Successive Confirmation Count Setpoints have been obtained by using linear interpolation.

The OPRM setpoints for TLO are conservative relative to SLO and are, therefore, bounding.

The endpoints of the regions are defined in Table 15-3. The region boundaries, shown in Figure 52, are defined using the Generic Shape Function (GSF). See Reference 5 in Section 15.4.

14 The OLMCPR values presented in the OPRM Setpoint Versus OLMCPR table have been adjusted to include a 0.01 adder in accordance with extended operating domain licensing commitments in Reference 6 (in Section 15.4) to prevent a setpoint credit as described by MFN08-693.

These limits are designed such that reactor operation within these limits provides assurance that the fuel will not exceed any thermal-mechanical design or licensing limits during all modes of operation. The fuel thermal-mechanical limits are met for the current cycle.

The use of this code is consistent with the approved methodology. The transient plots, neutron flux and heat flux values normally reported in Section 9 are not an output of the BWR Simulator Code; therefore, those items are not included in this document. The OLMCPR result is shown in Section 11.

In addition, the Inadvertent HPCI start-up event was determined to be non-limiting.

The power dependent limits provided in Reference D-1 have been validated for this cycle. Above Pbypass (24% rated power),

the power dependent limits consist of Kp and LHGRFACp multipliers. The Kp and LHGRFACp multipliers are applied as follows:

Operating Limit MCPRp = Kp

  • Operating Limit MCPR(100%P)

LHGRp = LHGRFACp

  • LHGRstd Analyses performed in support of Reference D-1 confirmed that the Kp and LHGRFACp multipliers bound the range between Pbypass and the PLU enabling power level. No thermal limits are requiredfor below Pbypass.

Hope Creek 0000-0105-6621-SRLR Reload 16 Revision 0 Appendix F Feedwater Temperature and Operating Dome Pressure Range The reload transient analyses provided in this report are performed using a FFWTR/FWHOOS of 102 0F/60 0 F. FFWTR/FWHOOS of 102 0F/60'F is not currently licensed for Hope Creek Generating, Station and shall not be implemented until licensed. The reload transient, analyses do, not by themselves, allow plant operation with FFWTR/FWHOOS of 102°F/60 0F.

The reload transient analyses performed with a FFWTR/FWHOOS of 102 0F/60*F bound normal operational variation in feedwater heating capacity such that the feedwater temperature is at least 409°F at 100% rated power.

Normal operational variation in dome pressure (defined as +/-10 psi) is acceptable as this variation has a negligible effect on the OLMCPR.

Several of these conditions request that additional, application-specific information: be provided. The information provided below responds to these requests for the identified items.

Limitation/Condition 6 (R-factor)

The plant specific R-factor calculation at a bundle level was performed consistent with lattice axial void conditions expected for the hot channel operating state applicable to this cycle of operation. For Hope Creek Cycle 17 at the EPU licensed power level, a 60% void profile was used for the calculation of bundle R-factors.

Limitations/Conditions 10 and 11 (Thermal/Mechanical Overpower)

As required by Limitation 10 the plant limiting Thermal and Mechanical Overpower results are provided in Table G-1. The results are summarized as a percent margin to both of these limits.

Table G-1 Margin to Thermal Overpower and Mechanical Overpower Limits Criteria GE14C Thermal Overpower Margin 39%

Mechanical Overpower Margin 39%

These results have been confirmed to meet the required 10% margin to the design limits for all fuel types as can be observed.

Limitation/Condition 17 (Steady State 5 Percent Bypass Voiding)

The bypass voiding condition was evaluated for the licensed core loading and confirmed that the bypass void fraction remained below 5 percent at all LPRM levels when operating at steady-state conditions within the licensed upper boundary. For a power/flow condition that conservatively bounded the licensed power/flow upper boundary, the bypass void fraction at the D level LPRM location was calculated to be 0.0%.

Hope Creek 0000-0105-6621 -SRLR Reload 16 Revision 0 Appendix I Calculated BSP Region End Points The BSP region end points reported in Section 15 represent the proposed BSP region. The proposed BSP region is conservative and bounds the calculated BSP region end points.

To support the initial introduction of GE141 Isotope Test Assemblies (ITAs), this appendix provides the calculated BSP region end points and decay ratios. These calculated power/flow points and decay ratios represent typical calculations for Hope Creek. The plant- and cycle-specific calculations provide reasonable assurance that the thermal hydraulic stability as prescribed by Option III with respect to the size of the BSP regions is maintained with ITAs in the Hope Creek core.

These GE14I bundles, also referred to as GE14I Isotope Test Assemblies (ITAs), were designed for mechanical, nuclear and thermal-hydraulic compatibility with the GE14C fuel designs. The subject core was designed such that the ITAs would be placed in non-limiting locations with respect to thermal limit margins and shutdown margins. The analysis results reported in this report are applicable to GE14I unless otherwise specified. Section 11 of this report presents the GE14C cycle-dependent MCPR limits; an adder of 0.07 should be applied to these results for the GE141 ITAs.
