Attachment2 to L-2016-176 Page 3of10 REVISED TURKEY POINT UNIT 4 CYCLE 29 COLR 2.0 OPERATING LIMITS The cycle-specific parameter limits for the specifications listed in the Introduction are presented below and listed sequentially by Technical Specification (TS). These limits have been developed using the NRG-approved methodologies specified in TS 6.9.1.7.
2.1    Reactor Core Safety Limits - Three Loops in Operation (TS 2.1.1)
Figure A1(page14B-A7)            In Modes 1 and 2, the combination of Thermal Power, reactor coolant system highest loop average temperature and pressurizer pressure shall not exceed the limits in Figure A1.

For each percent that the magnitude of% - qb exceeds - 18%,
the~T Trip Setpoint shall be automatically reduced by 3.51 %
of its value at RATED THERMAL POWER; and For each percent that the magnitude of qt - qb exceeds + 7%,
the ~T Trip Setpoint shall be automatically reduced by 2.37%
of its value at RATED THERMAL POWER.
Where % and qb are percent RATED THERMAL POWER in the top and bottom halves of the core respectively, and q1 + qb is total THERMAL POWER in percent of RATED THERMAL POWER.

The Overtemperature LiT function Allowable Value shall not exceed the nominal trip setpoint by more than 0.5% LiT span for the LiT channel, 0.2% LiT span for the Pressurizer Pressure channel, and 0.4% LiT span for the f(Lil) channel. No separate Allowable Value is provided for T avg because this function is part of the LiT value.

Less negative than - 35.0 x 10-5 Lik/k/&deg;F (-35 pcm/&deg;F) Within 7 EFPD of reaching equilibrium boron concentration of 300 ppm.
The Revised Predicted near - EOL 300 ppm MTG shall be calculated using the algorithm contained in WCAP-137 49-P-A:
Revised Predicted MTG = Predicted MTG + AFD Correction - 3 pcm/&deg;F If the Revised Predicted MTG is less negative than the SR 4.1.1.3.b 300 ppm surveillance limit and all the benchmark criteria contained in the surveillance procedure are met, then an MTG measurement in accordance with SR 4.1.1.3.b is not required to be performed.
The neutronics methods used with WCAP-13749-P-A are those described in WCAP-11596-P-A, "Qualification of the Phoenix-PfANG Nuclear Design System for Pressurized Water Reactor Cores," June 1988.

3. USNRC letter, "Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Unit Nos. 3 and 4 - Issuance of Amendments Regarding Technical Specifications for Moderator Temperature Coefficient Measurements (CAC NOS. MF6783 and MF6784,." Dated June 20, 2016.

In accordance with Technical Specification 6.9.1.7, the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) for Turkey Point Unit 3 Cycle 28 was submitted by Reference 1. The COLR for Turkey Point Unit 4 Cycle 29 was submitted by Reference 2.

On June 20, 2016, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued Amendments 271 and 266 to Renewed Facility Operating Licenses (RFOLs) No. DPR-31 and DPR-41 for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4, respectively (Reference 3). License Amendments 271 and 266 revised Technical Specification (TS) 3/4.1, "Reactivity Control Systems, Moderator Temperature Coefficient," Surveillance Requirement 4.1.1.3.b to allow the near end-of-life Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) measurement requirement to not be performed by placing a set of conditions on reactor core operation. The amendments also revised TS 6.9.1. 7, "Core Operating Limits Report," to include the analytical methods used to support the suspension of the near end-of-life MTC. In addition, the amendments require that the physics codes used to support the suspension of the near end-of-life MTC be specified in the COLR for the current cycle.

L-2016-176 Page2 Amendments 271 and 266 have been implemented; therefore, in accordance with Technical Specification 6.9. 1. 7, this letter provides the updated COLRs for Turkey Point Units 3 and 4.

Attachment 1 provides the revised COLR for Turkey Point Unit 3. The COLR is applicable for Unit 3 Cycle 28. Attachment 2 provides the revised COLR for Turkey Point Unit 4. The COLR is applicable for Unit 4 Cycle 29. The attachments to this letter replace the COLRs submitted by References 1 and 2 in their entirety.
