==SUMMARY==
OF RESULTS / CONCLUSIONS The purpose of this analysis is to provide the safety limit minimum critical power ratio (SLMCPR) results for Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant (MNGP) in support of Cycle 30.
 
===1.1. METHODOLOGY===
The two-loop operation (TLO) and single-loop operation (SLO) SLMCPRs were determined using the methodology presented in Reference 1. The SLMCPR is defined as the minimum value of the critical power ratio which ensures at least 99.9% of the fuel rods in the core are expected to avoid boiling transition (BT) during normal operation or an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO). The SLMCPR is determined using a statistical analysis employing a Monte Carlo process that perturbs the input parameters used in the calculation of minimum critical power ratio (MCPR). The set of uncertainties used in the statistical analysis includes both fuel-related and plant-related uncertainties. The SLMCPR analysis is performed with a power distribution that conservatively represents expected reactor operating states that could both exist at the operating limit MCPR (OLMCPR) and produce a MCPR equal to the SLMCPR during an AOO.
[            ] In the Framatome methodology, the effects of channel bow on the critical power performance are accounted for in the SLMCPR analysis.

[  ] This adjustment is a plant specific extension of the Reference 1 approved methodology and is discussed in Reference 2 Section 2-25. [    ] During their review of the extended flow window (EFW) submittal, the NRC suggested a core power / core flow ratio of 42 MWt/Mlb/hr serve as the threshold above which a 0.03 penalty must be added to the SLMCPR otherwise supported by Framatome analysis methods. A 0.03 penalty has been applied when
 
the ratio of core power to core flow is  42 MWt / Mlbm/hr in the EFW region, refer to Figure 1. The 0.03 penalty is not applied when MNGP is operating in the Maximum Extended Load Line Limit (MELLLA) region or operating in the EFW region where the ratio of core power to core flow is < 42 MWt / Mlbm/hr.
Single-loop operation is not allowed in the EFW; therefore, the 0.03 penalty implemented when the ratio of core power to core flow is  42 MWt / Mlbm/hr in the EFW region is not applicable to the SLO SLMCPR. 1.2. ANALYSIS The core loading and cycle depletion from the Monticello Cycle 30 fuel cycle design was used as the basis for the SLMCPR analysis. The cycle is made up of GE14 and ATRIUM' 10XM* fuel. TLO analyses were performed

The application of the SPCB critical power correlation to GE14 fuel
] The uncertainties used in the SLMCPR analysis are presented in Table 1. Appropriate core monitoring uncertainties have been developed for GE14 and ATRIUM 10XM fuel use at Monticello. The radial and nodal power uncertainties used in the analysis include the combined effects of a 60 day TIP interval (48 days + 25% grace), one TIP machine out-of-service, and an LPRM calibration interval of
 
1000 MWd/ST. Based on the channel bow statistics provided in Table 1 of Reference 7, [      ] [        ] 1.3. RESULTS Analyses performed with the Cycle 30 core design support the following MCPR safety limits:
* Two-loop operation in the MELLLA region or when the ratio of core power to core flow is < 42 MWt
/ Mlbm/hr in the EFW: a MCPR safety limit of 1.08

* Two-loop operation when the ratio of core power to core flow is  42 MWt / Mlbm/hr in the EFW: a MCPR safety limit of 1.14
[  ] (this SLMCPR includes a 0.03 penalty to account for power distribution uncertainties beyond those inherent in the Framatome safety analysis methodology). Prior to the 0.03 penalty, the SLMCPR for  42 MWt / Mlbm/hr in the EFW is 0.03 higher than the SLMCPR for < 42 MWt / Mlbm/hr in the EFW.
* Single-loop operation: a MCPR safety limit of 1.12
[  ] and a MCPR safety limit of 1.13
[  ] Single-loop operation is not allowed within the EFW, therefore the 0.03 penalty does not apply.
