General Information Power and flow dependent limits are listed for various power and flow levels. Linear interpolation is to be used to find intermediate values. Rated core flow is 108.5 Mlbm/hr. Operation up to 105% rated flow is licensed for this cycle. Licensed rated thermal power is 3546 MWth. For thermal limit monitoring above 100% rated power or 100% rated core flow, the 100% rated power and the 100% core flow values, respectively, can be used unless otherwise indicated in the applicable table. Table 3-1 defines the three exposure ranges used in the COLR. The end of rated (EOR) exposure is defined as the cycle exposure corresponding to all rods out, 100% power/100% flow, and normal feedwater temperature. The term (EOR -2615 MWd/ST) means the EOR exposure minus 2615 MWd/ST of exposure. The value of the EOR exposure is based on actual plant operation and is thus determined from projections to this condition made near, but before, the time when the EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST exposure will be reached. For cycle exposure dependent limits at the exact MOC exposure, the more limiting of the BOC to MOC and the MOC to EOC limits should be used. This can be achieved by applying the MOC to EOG limits to the MOC point as all cycle exposure dependent limits in the MOC to EOG limit sets are the same as, or more limiting than, those in the BOC to MOC limit sets. Nomenclature BOC to MOC MOC to EOC BOC to EOG Table 3-1 Cycle Exposure Range Definitions (Reference 7) Cycle Exposure Range BOC17 to (EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST) (EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST) to EOC17 BOC17 to EOC17 LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 7 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 4. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate Technical Specification Sections 3.2.1 and 3.4.1 MAPLHGR values as a function of average planar exposure are given in Table 4-1. During SLO, these limits are multiplied by the SLO multiplier listed in Table 4-2. The MAPLHGR values in Table 4-1 along with the MAPLHGR SLO multiplier in Table 4-2 provide coverage for all modes of operation. Table 4-1 MAPLHGR for GNF2 and GNF3 Fuel (Reference 7) Avg. Planar MAPLHGR Exposure (kW/FT) (GWd/ST) 0.00 13.78 17.15 13.78 60.78 6.87 63.50 5.50 Table 4-2 MAPLHGR SLO Multiplier for GNF2 and GNF3 Fuel, BOC to EOC (Reference 7) SLO Fuel Type MAPLHGR Multiplier GNF2 0.78 GNF3 0.78 LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 8 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 5. Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio Technical Specification Sections 3.2.2. 3.3.4.1. 3.4.1. and 3.7.7 5.1. Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The rated OLMCPRs given in Table 5-2 are the maximum values obtained from analysis of the pressurization events, non-pressurization events, and the Option Ill stability evaluation. MCPR values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference 7. Table 5-2 is used in conjunction with the ARTS-based power (Kp) and flow (MCPRF) dependencies presented in Tables 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 below. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow condition by evaluating the power and flow dependent MCPR values and selecting the greater of the two. 5.1.1. Power-Dependent MCPR The power-dependent MCPR multiplier, Kp, is determined from Table 5-3, and is dependent only on the power level and the Application Group (EOOS). The product of the rated OLMCPR and the proper Kp provides the power-dependent OLMCPR. 5.1.2. Flow-Dependent MCPR Tables 5-4 through 5-5 give the MCPRF limit as a function of the core flow, based on the applicable plant conditions. The MCPRF limit determined from these tables is the flow-dependent OLMCPR. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 9 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 5.2. Scram Time Option A and Option B MCPR analyses and results are dependent upon core average control rod blade scram speed insertion times. The Option A scram time is the Improved Technical Specification scram speed based insertion time. The core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to the Technical Specification scram speed insertion time to utilize the Option A MCPR limits. Reload analyses performed by GNF for Cycle 17 Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20% core average insertion time of 0.900 seconds (Reference 9). To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed insertion times, the core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to 0.694 seconds (Reference 9) (0.672 seconds at notch position 39, Reference 10). See Table 5-1 for a summary of scram time requirements related to the use of Option A and Option B MCPR limits. If the core average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, but is within the Option A criteria, the appropriate steady state MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits with standard mathematical rounding to two decimal places. When performing the linear interpolation to determine MCPR limits, ensure that the time used for Option A is 0.900 seconds (0.875 seconds to notch position 39, Reference 10). Table 5-1 Scram Times Required for Option A and Option B Application at Notch Position 39 (References 9 and 10) Notch Scram Time Required for Option A Scram Time Required for Option B Position* Application Application 39 s; 0.875 sec. s; 0.672 sec. *The insertion time to a notch position is conservatively calculated using the CRD reed switch drop-out time per Reference 10. 5.3. Recirculation Flow Control Valve Settings Cycle 17 was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 105%; therefore the recirculation pump flow control valves must be set to maintain core flow less than 105% (113.925 Mlbm/hr) for all runout events. 5.4. OLMCPR Requirements with Lost Jet Pump Plug Seals To account for the lost jet pump plug seals, an RCPR value was determined to generically apply to the applicable OLMCPR limits discussed in Section 5.1 (Reference 13). An additional 3% margin will ensure that the OLMCPR limits discussed in Section 5.1 are bounded with the lost jet pump plug seal RCPR value applied. Thus, the Reference 7 OLMCPR and MCPRF values have been divided by 0.97 and these values have been placed in Tables 5-2, 5-4, and 5-5 herein.

The LHGRFACp multiplier is determined from Table 6-2. The LHGRFACF multiplier is determined from Table 6-3 or Table 6-4. The SLO multipliers in Table 6-3 and Table 6-4 have been limited to a maximum value of 0.78, the SLO LHGR multiplier for both GNF2 and GNF3 fuel.

Rod Block Monitor Technical Specification Sections 3.3.2.1 and 3.4.1 The Rod Block Monitor Upscale Instrumentation Setpoints are determined from the relationships shown below (Reference 3): Table 7-1 Rod Block Monitor Setpoints Rod Block Monitor Upscale Trip Function Allowable Value Two Recirculation Loop o.66 wd + 54.0% Operation Single Recirculation Loop o.66 wd + 48.7% Operation Wd -percent of recirculation loop drive flow required to produce a rated core flow of 108.5 Mlbm/hr. The setpoint may be lower/higher and will still comply with the rod withdrawal error (RWE) analysis because RWE is analyzed unblocked (Reference 7). The allowable value is clamped with a maximum value not to exceed the allowable value for a recirculation loop drive flow (Wd) of 100%. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 17 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 8. Traversing In-Core Probe System (Reference 12) 8.1. Description When the traversing in-core probe (TIP) system (for the required measurement locations) is used for recalibration of the LPRM detectors and monitoring thermal limits, the TIP system shall be operable with the following: 1. movable detectors, drives and readout equipment to map the core in the required measurement locations, and 2. indexing equipment to allow all required detectors to be calibrated in a common location. The following applies for use with 3DM (Reference 4): The total number of failed and/or bypassed LPRMs does not exceed 25%. In addition, no more than 14 TIP channels can be OOS (failed or rejected). Otherwise, with the TIP system inoperable, suspend use of the system for the above applicable calibration functions. 8.2. Bases The operability of the TIP system with the above specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this equipment accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core. The normalization of the required detectors is performed internal to the core monitoring software system. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 18 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 9.

The one TCV and/or TSV OOS conditions require power level s 85% of rated. The one MSIVOOS condition is also supported as long as thermal power is maintained s 75% of the rated (Reference 7). The FWHOOS/FFWTR analyses cover a maximum reduction of 100&deg;F for the feedwater temperature. A nominal LPRM calibration interval of 2000 EFPH (2500 EFPH maximum) is supported for l2C17. (2) TBVOOS (all 5 valves) is the turbine bypass system out of service which means that 5 TBVs are not credited for fast opening and 3 TBVs are not credited to open in pressure control. For the 2 TBVOOS condition that is a part of the base case, the assumption is that both of the TBVs do not open on any signal and thus remain shut for the transients analyzed (i.e. 3 TBVs are credited to open in pressure control). The MCFL is currently set at 126.6 (Reference 9) and will only allow opening of TBV's #1, #2, #3, and #4 during a slow pressurization event. The MCFL does not use the TBV position feedback signal to know how many TBVs have opened or how far each has opened. The #5 TBV is not available based on the current MCFL setpoint and thus cannot be used as one of the credited valves to open in pressure control. (3) The+ sign that is used in the Equipment Out of Service Option I Application Group descriptions designates an "and/or". (4) All EOOS Options (Reference 7 Application Groups) are applicable to ELLLA, MELLLA, ICF and Coastdown realms of operation with the exception that SLO is not applicable to MELLLA or ICF. The MOC to EOC exposure range limit sets are generated by GNF to include application to coastdown operation (Methodology Reference 1 ).

General Information Power and flow dependent limits are listed for various power and flow levels. Linear interpolation is to be used to find intermediate values. Rated core flow is 108.5 Mlbm/hr. Operation up to 105% rated flow is licensed for this cycle. Licensed rated thermal power is 3546 MWth. For thermal limit monitoring above 100% rated power or 100% rated core flow, the 100% rated power and the 100% core flow values, respectively, can be used unless otherwise indicated in the applicable table. Table 3-1 defines the three exposure ranges used in the COLR. The end of rated (EOR) exposure is defined as the cycle exposure corresponding to all rods out, 100% power/100% flow, and normal feedwater temperature. The term (EOR -2615 MWd/ST) means the EOR exposure minus 2615 MWd/ST of exposure. The value of the EOR exposure is based on actual plant operation and is thus determined from projections to this condition made near, but before, the time when the EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST exposure will be reached. For cycle exposure dependent limits at the exact MOC exposure, the more limiting of the BOC to MOC and the MOC to EOC limits should be used. This can be achieved by applying the MOC to EOG limits to the MOC point as all cycle exposure dependent limits in the MOC to EOG limit sets are the same as, or more limiting than, those in the BOC to MOC limit sets. Nomenclature BOC to MOC MOC to EOC BOC to EOG Table 3-1 Cycle Exposure Range Definitions (Reference 7) Cycle Exposure Range BOC17 to (EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST) (EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST) to EOC17 BOC17 to EOC17 LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 7 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 4. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate Technical Specification Sections 3.2.1 and 3.4.1 MAPLHGR values as a function of average planar exposure are given in Table 4-1. During SLO, these limits are multiplied by the SLO multiplier listed in Table 4-2. The MAPLHGR values in Table 4-1 along with the MAPLHGR SLO multiplier in Table 4-2 provide coverage for all modes of operation. Table 4-1 MAPLHGR for GNF2 and GNF3 Fuel (Reference 7) Avg. Planar MAPLHGR Exposure (kW/FT) (GWd/ST) 0.00 13.78 17.15 13.78 60.78 6.87 63.50 5.50 Table 4-2 MAPLHGR SLO Multiplier for GNF2 and GNF3 Fuel, BOC to EOC (Reference 7) SLO Fuel Type MAPLHGR Multiplier GNF2 0.78 GNF3 0.78 LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 8 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 5. Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio Technical Specification Sections 3.2.2. 3.3.4.1. 3.4.1. and 3.7.7 5.1. Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The rated OLMCPRs given in Table 5-2 are the maximum values obtained from analysis of the pressurization events, non-pressurization events, and the Option Ill stability evaluation. MCPR values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference 7. Table 5-2 is used in conjunction with the ARTS-based power (Kp) and flow (MCPRF) dependencies presented in Tables 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 below. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow condition by evaluating the power and flow dependent MCPR values and selecting the greater of the two. 5.1.1. Power-Dependent MCPR The power-dependent MCPR multiplier, Kp, is determined from Table 5-3, and is dependent only on the power level and the Application Group (EOOS). The product of the rated OLMCPR and the proper Kp provides the power-dependent OLMCPR. 5.1.2. Flow-Dependent MCPR Tables 5-4 through 5-5 give the MCPRF limit as a function of the core flow, based on the applicable plant conditions. The MCPRF limit determined from these tables is the flow-dependent OLMCPR. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 9 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 5.2. Scram Time Option A and Option B MCPR analyses and results are dependent upon core average control rod blade scram speed insertion times. The Option A scram time is the Improved Technical Specification scram speed based insertion time. The core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to the Technical Specification scram speed insertion time to utilize the Option A MCPR limits. Reload analyses performed by GNF for Cycle 17 Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20% core average insertion time of 0.900 seconds (Reference 9). To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed insertion times, the core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to 0.694 seconds (Reference 9) (0.672 seconds at notch position 39, Reference 10). See Table 5-1 for a summary of scram time requirements related to the use of Option A and Option B MCPR limits. If the core average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, but is within the Option A criteria, the appropriate steady state MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits with standard mathematical rounding to two decimal places. When performing the linear interpolation to determine MCPR limits, ensure that the time used for Option A is 0.900 seconds (0.875 seconds to notch position 39, Reference 10). Table 5-1 Scram Times Required for Option A and Option B Application at Notch Position 39 (References 9 and 10) Notch Scram Time Required for Option A Scram Time Required for Option B Position* Application Application 39 s; 0.875 sec. s; 0.672 sec. *The insertion time to a notch position is conservatively calculated using the CRD reed switch drop-out time per Reference 10. 5.3. Recirculation Flow Control Valve Settings Cycle 17 was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 105%; therefore the recirculation pump flow control valves must be set to maintain core flow less than 105% (113.925 Mlbm/hr) for all runout events. 5.4. OLMCPR Requirements with Lost Jet Pump Plug Seals To account for the lost jet pump plug seals, an RCPR value was determined to generically apply to the applicable OLMCPR limits discussed in Section 5.1 (Reference 13). An additional 3% margin will ensure that the OLMCPR limits discussed in Section 5.1 are bounded with the lost jet pump plug seal RCPR value applied. Thus, the Reference 7 OLMCPR and MCPRF values have been divided by 0.97 and these values have been placed in Tables 5-2, 5-4, and 5-5 herein.

Rod Block Monitor Technical Specification Sections 3.3.2.1 and 3.4.1 The Rod Block Monitor Upscale Instrumentation Setpoints are determined from the relationships shown below (Reference 3): Table 7-1 Rod Block Monitor Setpoints Rod Block Monitor Upscale Trip Function Allowable Value Two Recirculation Loop o.66 wd + 54.0% Operation Single Recirculation Loop o.66 wd + 48.7% Operation Wd -percent of recirculation loop drive flow required to produce a rated core flow of 108.5 Mlbm/hr. The setpoint may be lower/higher and will still comply with the rod withdrawal error (RWE) analysis because RWE is analyzed unblocked (Reference 7). The allowable value is clamped with a maximum value not to exceed the allowable value for a recirculation loop drive flow (Wd) of 100%. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 17 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 8. Traversing In-Core Probe System (Reference 12) 8.1. Description When the traversing in-core probe (TIP) system (for the required measurement locations) is used for recalibration of the LPRM detectors and monitoring thermal limits, the TIP system shall be operable with the following: 1. movable detectors, drives and readout equipment to map the core in the required measurement locations, and 2. indexing equipment to allow all required detectors to be calibrated in a common location. The following applies for use with 3DM (Reference 4): The total number of failed and/or bypassed LPRMs does not exceed 25%. In addition, no more than 14 TIP channels can be OOS (failed or rejected). Otherwise, with the TIP system inoperable, suspend use of the system for the above applicable calibration functions. 8.2. Bases The operability of the TIP system with the above specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this equipment accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core. The normalization of the required detectors is performed internal to the core monitoring software system. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 18 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 9. Stability Protection Setpoints Technical Specification Section 3.3.1.3 Table 9-1 OPRM PBDA Trip Setpoints (Reference 7) PBDA Trip Amplitude Setpolnt (Sp) Corresponding Maximum Confirmation Count Setpoint (Np) 1.15 16 The PBDA is the only OPRM setting credited in the safety analysis as documented in the licensing basis for the OPRM system. The OPRM PBDA trip settings are applicable when the OPRM system is declared operable, and the associated Technical Specifications are implemented. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 19 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 10. Modes of Operation The allowed modes of operation with combinations of equipment out-of-service are as described below (Reference 7).

The one TCV and/or TSV OOS conditions require power level s 85% of rated. The one MSIVOOS condition is also supported as long as thermal power is maintained s 75% of the rated (Reference 7). The FWHOOS/FFWTR analyses cover a maximum reduction of 100&deg;F for the feedwater temperature. A nominal LPRM calibration interval of 2000 EFPH (2500 EFPH maximum) is supported for l2C17. (2) TBVOOS (all 5 valves) is the turbine bypass system out of service which means that 5 TBVs are not credited for fast opening and 3 TBVs are not credited to open in pressure control. For the 2 TBVOOS condition that is a part of the base case, the assumption is that both of the TBVs do not open on any signal and thus remain shut for the transients analyzed (i.e. 3 TBVs are credited to open in pressure control). The MCFL is currently set at 126.6 (Reference 9) and will only allow opening of TBV's #1, #2, #3, and #4 during a slow pressurization event. The MCFL does not use the TBV position feedback signal to know how many TBVs have opened or how far each has opened. The #5 TBV is not available based on the current MCFL setpoint and thus cannot be used as one of the credited valves to open in pressure control. (3) The+ sign that is used in the Equipment Out of Service Option I Application Group descriptions designates an "and/or". (4) All EOOS Options (Reference 7 Application Groups) are applicable to ELLLA, MELLLA, ICF and Coastdown realms of operation with the exception that SLO is not applicable to MELLLA or ICF. The MOC to EOC exposure range limit sets are generated by GNF to include application to coastdown operation (Methodology Reference 1 ). LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 20 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 11. Methodology The analytical methods used to determine the core operating limits shall be those previously reviewed and approved by the NRG, specifically those described in the following documents: 1. GNF Report NEDE-24011-P-A-22 (Revision 22), "General Electric Standard Application for Reactor Fuel," November 2015 and the U.S. Supplement NEDE-24011-P-A-22-US, November 2015.

General Information Power and flow dependent limits are listed for various power and flow levels. Linear interpolation is to be used to find intermediate values. Rated core flow is 108.5 Mlbm/hr. Operation up to 105% rated flow is licensed for this cycle. Licensed rated thermal power is 3546 MWth. For thermal limit monitoring above 100% rated power or 100% rated core flow, the 100% rated power and the 100% core flow values, respectively, can be used unless otherwise indicated in the applicable table. Table 3-1 defines the three exposure ranges used in the COLR. The end of rated (EOR) exposure is defined as the cycle exposure corresponding to all rods out, 100% power/100% flow, and normal feedwater temperature. The term (EOR -2615 MWd/ST) means the EOR exposure minus 2615 MWd/ST of exposure. The value of the EOR exposure is based on actual plant operation and is thus determined from projections to this condition made near, but before, the time when the EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST exposure will be reached. For cycle exposure dependent limits at the exact MOC exposure, the more limiting of the BOC to MOC and the MOC to EOC limits should be used. This can be achieved by applying the MOC to EOG limits to the MOC point as all cycle exposure dependent limits in the MOC to EOG limit sets are the same as, or more limiting than, those in the BOC to MOC limit sets. Nomenclature BOC to MOC MOC to EOC BOC to EOG Table 3-1 Cycle Exposure Range Definitions (Reference 7) Cycle Exposure Range BOC17 to (EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST) (EOR17 -2615 MWd/ST) to EOC17 BOC17 to EOC17 LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 7 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 4. Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate Technical Specification Sections 3.2.1 and 3.4.1 MAPLHGR values as a function of average planar exposure are given in Table 4-1. During SLO, these limits are multiplied by the SLO multiplier listed in Table 4-2. The MAPLHGR values in Table 4-1 along with the MAPLHGR SLO multiplier in Table 4-2 provide coverage for all modes of operation. Table 4-1 MAPLHGR for GNF2 and GNF3 Fuel (Reference 7) Avg. Planar MAPLHGR Exposure (kW/FT) (GWd/ST) 0.00 13.78 17.15 13.78 60.78 6.87 63.50 5.50 Table 4-2 MAPLHGR SLO Multiplier for GNF2 and GNF3 Fuel, BOC to EOC (Reference 7) SLO Fuel Type MAPLHGR Multiplier GNF2 0.78 GNF3 0.78 LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 8 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 5. Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio Technical Specification Sections 3.2.2. 3.3.4.1. 3.4.1. and 3.7.7 5.1. Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The rated OLMCPRs given in Table 5-2 are the maximum values obtained from analysis of the pressurization events, non-pressurization events, and the Option Ill stability evaluation. MCPR values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference 7. Table 5-2 is used in conjunction with the ARTS-based power (Kp) and flow (MCPRF) dependencies presented in Tables 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 below. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow condition by evaluating the power and flow dependent MCPR values and selecting the greater of the two. 5.1.1. Power-Dependent MCPR The power-dependent MCPR multiplier, Kp, is determined from Table 5-3, and is dependent only on the power level and the Application Group (EOOS). The product of the rated OLMCPR and the proper Kp provides the power-dependent OLMCPR. 5.1.2. Flow-Dependent MCPR Tables 5-4 through 5-5 give the MCPRF limit as a function of the core flow, based on the applicable plant conditions. The MCPRF limit determined from these tables is the flow-dependent OLMCPR. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 9 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 5.2. Scram Time Option A and Option B MCPR analyses and results are dependent upon core average control rod blade scram speed insertion times. The Option A scram time is the Improved Technical Specification scram speed based insertion time. The core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to the Technical Specification scram speed insertion time to utilize the Option A MCPR limits. Reload analyses performed by GNF for Cycle 17 Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20% core average insertion time of 0.900 seconds (Reference 9). To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed insertion times, the core average scram speed insertion time for 20% insertion must be less than or equal to 0.694 seconds (Reference 9) (0.672 seconds at notch position 39, Reference 10). See Table 5-1 for a summary of scram time requirements related to the use of Option A and Option B MCPR limits. If the core average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, but is within the Option A criteria, the appropriate steady state MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits with standard mathematical rounding to two decimal places. When performing the linear interpolation to determine MCPR limits, ensure that the time used for Option A is 0.900 seconds (0.875 seconds to notch position 39, Reference 10). Table 5-1 Scram Times Required for Option A and Option B Application at Notch Position 39 (References 9 and 10) Notch Scram Time Required for Option A Scram Time Required for Option B Position* Application Application 39 s; 0.875 sec. s; 0.672 sec. *The insertion time to a notch position is conservatively calculated using the CRD reed switch drop-out time per Reference 10. 5.3. Recirculation Flow Control Valve Settings Cycle 17 was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 105%; therefore the recirculation pump flow control valves must be set to maintain core flow less than 105% (113.925 Mlbm/hr) for all runout events. 5.4. OLMCPR Requirements with Lost Jet Pump Plug Seals To account for the lost jet pump plug seals, an RCPR value was determined to generically apply to the applicable OLMCPR limits discussed in Section 5.1 (Reference 13). An additional 3% margin will ensure that the OLMCPR limits discussed in Section 5.1 are bounded with the lost jet pump plug seal RCPR value applied. Thus, the Reference 7 OLMCPR and MCPRF values have been divided by 0.97 and these values have been placed in Tables 5-2, 5-4, and 5-5 herein.

The setpoint may be lower/higher and will still comply with the rod withdrawal error (RWE) analysis because RWE is analyzed unblocked (Reference 7). The allowable value is clamped with a maximum value not to exceed the allowable value for a recirculation loop drive flow (Wd) of 100%. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 17 of 21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 8. Traversing In-Core Probe System (Reference 12) 8.1. Description When the traversing in-core probe (TIP) system (for the required measurement locations) is used for recalibration of the LPRM detectors and monitoring thermal limits, the TIP system shall be operable with the following: 1. movable detectors, drives and readout equipment to map the core in the required measurement locations, and 2. indexing equipment to allow all required detectors to be calibrated in a common location. The following applies for use with 3DM (Reference 4): The total number of failed and/or bypassed LPRMs does not exceed 25%. In addition, no more than 14 TIP channels can be OOS (failed or rejected). Otherwise, with the TIP system inoperable, suspend use of the system for the above applicable calibration functions. 8.2. Bases The operability of the TIP system with the above specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this equipment accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core. The normalization of the required detectors is performed internal to the core monitoring software system. LaSalle Unit 2 Cycle 17 Page 18 of21 COLR LaSalle 2 Revision 15 9.

The one TCV and/or TSV OOS conditions require power level s 85% of rated. The one MSIVOOS condition is also supported as long as thermal power is maintained s 75% of the rated (Reference 7). The FWHOOS/FFWTR analyses cover a maximum reduction of 100°F for the feedwater temperature. A nominal LPRM calibration interval of 2000 EFPH (2500 EFPH maximum) is supported for l2C17. (2) TBVOOS (all 5 valves) is the turbine bypass system out of service which means that 5 TBVs are not credited for fast opening and 3 TBVs are not credited to open in pressure control. For the 2 TBVOOS condition that is a part of the base case, the assumption is that both of the TBVs do not open on any signal and thus remain shut for the transients analyzed (i.e. 3 TBVs are credited to open in pressure control). The MCFL is currently set at 126.6 (Reference 9) and will only allow opening of TBV's #1, #2, #3, and #4 during a slow pressurization event. The MCFL does not use the TBV position feedback signal to know how many TBVs have opened or how far each has opened. The #5 TBV is not available based on the current MCFL setpoint and thus cannot be used as one of the credited valves to open in pressure control. (3) The+ sign that is used in the Equipment Out of Service Option I Application Group descriptions designates an "and/or". (4) All EOOS Options (Reference 7 Application Groups) are applicable to ELLLA, MELLLA, ICF and Coastdown realms of operation with the exception that SLO is not applicable to MELLLA or ICF. The MOC to EOC exposure range limit sets are generated by GNF to include application to coastdown operation (Methodology Reference 1 ).
