I 0 I This report provides the following cycle-specific parameter limits for Limerick Generating Station Unit 2 Cycle 14:

• Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR)

• Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR)

• Single Loop Operation (SLO) OLMCPR adjustment

• Off-rated OLMCPR adjustments (MCPR{P) or MCPR(F))

• Off-rated OLMCPR multipliers {Kp)

• Off-rated LHGR multipliers (LHGRF AC{P) or LHGRF AC(F))

• Rod Block Monitor (RBM) setpoints

• MAPLHGR single loop operation multiplier

• LHGR single loop operation multiplier

• Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)

• Turbine Bypass Valve parameters

• Reactor Coolant System Recirculation Flow Upscale Trips

• Oscillation Power Range Monitor Period Based Detection Algorithm (OPRM PBDA) Trip Setpoints This report is prepared in accordance with Technical Specification 6.9.1.9 of Reference I. Preparation of this report was performed in accordance with Exelon Nuclear, Nuclear Fuels T &RM NF-AB-120-3600. The data presented in this report is valid for all licensed operating domains on the operating map, including:

• Maximum Extended Load Line Limit down to 82.9% ofrated core flow during full power operation

• Increased Core Flow (ICF) up to 110% ofrated core flow

• Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) up to I 05°F during cycle extension operation

• Feedwater Heater Out of Service (FWHOOS) up to 60°F feedwater temperature reduction at any time during the cycle prior to cycle extension. Further information on the cycle specific analyses for Limerick 2 Cycle 14 and the associated operating domains discussed above is available in Reference 2. Page 7of19 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear Fuels Core Operating Limits Report 3.0 MAPLHGR Limits 3.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.1 3 .2 Description COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 The limiting MAPLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fuel type as a function of average planar exposure is given in Table 3-1. For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-2. The power and flow dependent multipliers for MAPLHGR have been removed and replaced with LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F); therefore, MAPFAC{P) and MAPFAC(F) are equal to 1.0 for all power and flow conditions (Reference 2). LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) are addressed in Section 5.0. TABLE3-1 MAPLHGR versus Average Planar Exposure-All Fuel Types (Reference 2) Average Planar Exposure MAPLHGR Limit (GWD/ST) (kW/ft) 0.0 13.78 17.52 13.78 60.78 7.50 63.50 6.69 TABLE3-2 MAPLHGR Single Loop Operation (SLO) Multiplier-All Fuel Types (Ref ere nee 2) SLO Multiplier 0.80 Page 8of19 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear Fuels Core Operating Limits Report 4.0 MCPR Limits 4.1 Technical Specification Section 3.2.3 4.2 Description COLR Limerick 2, Rev. 10 I Table 4-1 is derived from Reference 2 and is valid for all fuel types and all operating domains. Table 4-1 includes treatment of these MCPR limits for all conditions listed in Section 9.0, Modes of Operation. ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers, which allow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR thermal limit. The flow dependent adjustment MCPR(F) is sufficiently generic to apply to all fuel types and operating domains. The power dependent adjustment MCPR(P) is independent of recirculation pump trip operability. MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) are independent of Scram Time Option. In addition, there are ten sets of power dependent MCPR multipliers (Kp) for use with BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS, PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition is included in the BASE MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) limits and Kp multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOS limits and multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires core thermal power < 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) adjustments are provided in Tables 4-2 and 4-3. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow condition by evaluating the power dependent MCPR and the flow dependent MCPR and selecting the greater of the two.

However, a minimum value of 1.58 is required to obtain an OLMCPR limit set by the Single Loop Operation Recirculation Pump Seizure Event.

For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 5-3 and applied in Table 5-5. No further Single Loop Operating multipliers need to be applied to the values in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit multipliers, which allow for a more reliable administration of the LHGR thermal limits. There are two sets of flow dependent LHGR multipliers for dual-loop and single-loop operation. In addition, there are ten sets of power dependent LHGR multipliers for use with the BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS and PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition is included in the BASE LHGRF AC(P) and LHGRF AC(F) multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOS multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires core thermal power< 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. The ARTS LHGR multipliers are shown in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. Linear interpolation should be used for points not listed in Reference 7. Thermal limit monitoring must be performed with the more limiting LHGR limit resulting from the power and flow biased calculation. The LHGRF AC(P) curves are independent ofrecirculation pump trip operability.
