Table 3-1 is used to determine the maximum average planar linear heat generation rate (MAPLHGR) limit for each fuel type. Limits listed in Table 3-1 are for dual reactor recirculation loop operation (DLO).For single reactor recirculation loop operation (SLO), the MAPLHGR limits given in Table 3-1 must be multiplied by a SLO MAPLHGR multiplier provided in Table 3-2. The SLO MAPLHGR multiplier for GE14 fuel is 0.76 (Reference 3).Table 3-1 MAPLHGR for all GE14C FuelI (Reference 3 and 13)Avg.

== Description:==
 
The various MCPR limits are described below.4.2.1 Manual Flow Control MCPR Limits The Operating Limit MCPR (OLMCPR) is determined from either section 4.2.1.1 or 4.2.1.2, whichever is greater at any given power and flow condition.
4.2.1.1 Power-Dependent MCPR For operation less than or equal to 33.3% core thermal power, the OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power is shown in Table 4-2. For operation at greater than 33.3% core thermal power, the OLMCPR as a function of core thermal power is determined by multiplying the applicable rated condition OLMCPR limit shown in Table 4-1 by the applicable MCPR multiplier K(P) given in Table 4-2.4.2.1.2 Flow-Dependent MCPR Tables 4-3 through 4-4 give the MCPR(F) as a function of flow based on the applicable plant condition.
The limits for dual loop operation are listed in Tables 4-3. The limits for single loop operation are listed in Tables 4-4. The MCPR(F) determined from these tables is the flow dependent OLMCPR.4.2.2 Automatic Flow Control MCPR Limits Automatic Flow Control MCPR Limits are not provided.Page 7 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear Fuels DOC ID: COLR Clinton 1 CL C1l1 Core Operating Limits Report Page 8 of 16 Rev. 2 4.2.3 Avon A and Option B Option A and Option B refer to use of scram speeds for establishing MCPR operating limits.Option A scram speed is the BWR/6 Technical Specification scram speed. The Technical Specification scram speeds must be met to utilize the Option A MCPR limits.Reload analyses performed by GNF for Cycle 11 Option A MCPR limits utilized a 20%core average insertion time of 0.516 seconds (Reference 15).To utilize the MCPR limits for the Option B scram speed, the cycle average scram insertion time for 20% insertion must satisfy equation 2 in Reference 5 Section 4. If the cycle average scram insertion time does not meet the Option B criteria, the appropriate MCPR value may be determined from a linear interpolation between the Option A and B limits as specified by equation 4 in Reference 5 Section 4.4.2.4 ftacirculation Flow Control V ilve Settings Cycle 11 was analyzed with a maximum core flow runout of 109%; therefore the recirculation flow control valve must be set to maintain core flow less than 109%(92.105 Mlb/hr) for all runout events (Reference 14).Page 8 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear Fuels CL1 C1I Core Operating Limits Report DOC ID: COLR Clinton 1 Page 9 of 16 Rev. 2 Table 4-1 Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (Reference 3)Option B Option A EOOS Combination All exposures All exposures Base Case 1.28 1.30 Base Case SLO 1.31 1.33 Table 4-2 Power Dependent MCPR Limit Adjustments and Multipliers MCPR(P)(Reference 7 and 11)EOO Core Flow ,l Core Thermal Power (%/6l Combination

The LHGRFAC(P) is determined from Table 5-3. The LHGRFAC(F) is determined from Table 5-4.The SLO multiplication factor can be found in Table 5-5. Tables 5-1 and 5-2 are the LHGR limit as a function of peak pellet exposure.The Gadolinia fuel rod limits in Tables 5-2 are the most limiting Gadolinia fuel rods. The most limiting values are provided here as a convenience and do not imply that all the Gadolinia fuel rods must satisfy the listed values.For Loss of 'FULL' Feedwater Heating (+/-10 OF of design NORMAL temperature), LHGRFAC(P) is determined from Table 5-6 and LHGRFAC(F) is determined from Table 5-7. Concurrent operation with SLO and reduced feedwater heating has not been evaluated and thus not a valid operating mode.
