INTRODUCTION This report provides the cycle-specific core operating limits for operation of Calvert Cliffs Unit 1, Cycle 15. It contains the limits for:

Shutdown Margin (SDM)

Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)

Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits Linear Heat Rate (LHR)

Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor (F yT)

Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (FT)

Axial Shape Index (ASI)

Reactor Protective System (RPS) Instrumentation - Operating Boron Concentration In addition, this report contains a number of figures which provides limits on the parameters listed above. If any of the limits contained in this report are exceeded, corrective action will be taken as defined in the Technical Specifications.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Specifications. The cycle specific limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies given in the "List of Approved Methodologies" section of this report and the Technical Specifications.

COLR Revision 0 COLR Revision 0 was issued to support the Unit 1 Cycle 15 core onload and operation of Unit 1 Cycle 15 in Modes 5 and 6. Safety Evaluation SE00424 Rev. 0000 provided justification for this revision.

COLR Revision 1 COLR Revision 1 was issued to incorporate those limits required for operation of Unit 1 Cycle 15 in Modes 1 through 4. No revision bars are included due to the significant number of changes required to incorporate the Modes I through 4 COLR limits. Safety Evaluation SE00407 Rev. 0000 provided justification for this revision.

COLR Revision 2 3.9.1 Boron Concentration was revised to include a Mode 6 temperature restriction of 140 'F. Safety Evaluation SE0043 1 Rev. 0000 provided justification for this revision.

COLR Revision 3 COLR Figures 3.2.1-2 & 3.2.5 are revised to reflect a 20% LCO monitoring floor for LHR and DNB ASI limits (SE00433, Rev. 0000).

Figures 3.2.1-2, 3.2.1-3, & 3.2.5 are revised to provide clarification in reference to NEOP-13. Section 3.2.1 &

Figure 3.2.1-3 were also revised to provide clarity. Finally, Figures 3.2.2 & 3.2.3 were revised to correct an inaccuracy in the peaking factor Tech Specs (SE0045 1, Rev. 0000).

COLR Revision 4 Figures 3.2.1-1 and 3.2.1-3 are revised to lower the allowable PLHR from 14.3 kw/ft to 13.9 kw/ft. Figures 3.2.1 3, 3.2.2, & 3.2.3 are revised to expand the tradeoff curves below 80% power. Finally, Figure 3.2.5 and the list of references are revised to implement the ABB-NV setpoints. (SE0045 1, Rev. 0000).

COLR Revision 5 Figure 3.2.3 is revised to implement a more restrictive Fr' due to ROPM issues discovered mid-cycle (SE00472, Rev. 0).

DEFINITIONS Axial Shape Index (ASI)

ASI shall be the power generated in the lower half of the core less the power generated in the upper half of the core, divided by the sum of the power generated in the lower and upper halves of the core.

ASI = lower -upper

= YE lower + upper The Axial Shape Index (Y,) used for the trip and pretrip signals in the Reactor Protection System (RPS) is the above value (YE) modified by an appropriate multiplier (A) and a constant (B) to determine the true core axial power distribution for that channel.

YI=AYE + B Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor - Fr T The Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor is the ratio of the peak pin power to the average pin power in an unrodded core.

Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor - FxyT The Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor is the maximum ratio of the peak to average power density of the individual fuel rods in any of the unrodded horizontal planes.

Rev. 4 Calvert Cliffs 1, Cycle 15 COLR Page 5 of 24

CYCLE SPECIFIC LIMITS FOR UNIT 1, CYCLE 15 3.1.1 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (SR 3.1.1.1)

Tavg > 200 OF - Modes 3 and 4:

The shutdown margin shall be equal to or greater than the limit line of COLR Figure 3.1.1.

Tavg *200 OF - Mode 5:

The shutdown margin shall be > 3.0% Ap.

3.1.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) (SR 3.1.3.2)

The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) shall be less negative than -3.0 x 10-4 Ap/°F at rated thermal power.

3.1.4 Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment (Action 3.1.4.B.1)

The allowable time to realign a CEA may be provided by the full core power distribution monitoring system (Better Axial Shape Selection System - BASSS) or COLR Figure 3.1.4, "Allowable Time to Realign CEA Versus Initial Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (FrT)." If COLR Figure 3.1.4 is used, the pre-misaligned FrT value used to determine the allowable time to realign the CEA shall be the latest measurement taken within 5 days prior to the CEA misalignment. If no measurements have been taken within 5 days prior to the misalignment and the full core power distribution monitoring system is unavailable then the time to realign is zero (0) minutes.

3.1.6 Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits (SR 3.1.6.1 and SR 3.1.6.2)

The regulating CEA groups insertion limits are shown on COLR Figure 3.1.6.

3.2.1 Linear Heat Rate (LHR) (SR 3.2.1.2 and SR 3.2.1.4)

The linear heat rate shall not exceed the limits shown on COLR Figure 3.2.1-1.

The axial shape index power dependent control limits are given in COLR Figure 3.2.1-2.

When using the excore detector monitoring system (SR 3.2.1.2):

The alarm setpoints are equal to the ASI limits, therefore when the alarms are adjusted, they provide indication to the operator when ASI is not within the limits.

The axial shape index alarm setpoints are shown as a function of fraction of thermal power on COLR Figure 3.2.1-2. A scaling factor (N-Factor) vs. FxyT is shown in COLR Figure 3.2.1-3. The fraction of thermal power shown in COLR Figure 3.2.1-2 must be scaled by the N-Factor to determine the axial shape index alarm setpoints as a function of fraction of rated thermal power.

INTRODUCTION This report provides the cycle-specific limits for operation of Calvert Cliffs Unit 2, Cycle 14. It contains the limits for:

- Shutdown Margin (SDM)

Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC)

Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits Linear Heat Rate (LHR)

Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor (Fxy)

Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (FrT)

Axial Shape Index (ASI)

Reactor Protective System (RPS) Instrumentation - Operating Boron Concentration In addition, this report contains a number of figures which give limits on the parameters listed above. If any of the limits contained in this report are exceeded, corrective action will be taken as defined in the Technical Specifications.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Technical Specifications.

The cycle specific limits have been developed using the NRC-approved methodologies given in the "List of Approved Methodologies" section of this report and in the Technical Specifications.

COLR Revision 0 Initial Release of Unit 2 Cycle 14 COLR (Safety Evaluations SE00451 and SE00452).

COLR Revision 1 3.9.1 Boron Concentration was revised to include a Refueling Boron Concentration Limit crediting no CEAs for a Post-Refueling Upper Guide Structure (UGS) lift or Reactor Vessel Head Lift. Safety Evaluation SE00452 provided justification for this revision.

COLR Revision 2 Figure 3.2.3 is revised to implement a more restrictive FrT due to ROPM issues discovered mid-cycle (SE00472, Rev. 0).

Calvert Cliffs 2, Cycle 14 COLR Page 4 of 24 Rev. 2 Page 4 of 24 Rev. 2 Calvert Cliffs 2, Cycle 14 COLR

DEFINITIONS Axial Shape Index (ASI)

ASI shall be the power generated in the lower half of the core less the power generated in the upper half of the core, divided by the sum of the power generated in the lower and upper halves of the core.

ASI = lower - upper = YE lower + upper The Axial Shape Index (Y1) used for the trip and pretrip signals in the Reactor Protection System (RPS) is the above value (YE) modified by an appropriate multiplier (A) and a constant (B) to determine the true core axial power distribution for that channel.

Y, = AYE + B Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor - FrT The Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor is the ratio of the peak pin power to the average pin power in an unrodded core.

Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor - FXYT The Total Planar Radial Peaking Factor is the maximum ratio of the peak to average power density of the individual fuel rods in any of the unrodded horizontal planes.

CYCLE SPECIFIC LIMITS FOR UNIT 2, CYCLE 14 3.1.1 Shutdown Margin (SDM) (SR 3.1.1.1)

Tavg > 200 OF - Modes 3 and 4:

The shutdown margin shall be equal to or greater than the limit line of COLR Figure 3.1.1.

Tavg _<200 OF - Mode 5:

The shutdown margin shall be > 3.0% Ap.

3.1.3 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) (SR 3.1.3.2)

The Moderator Temperature Coefficient (MTC) shall be less negative than -3.0 x 10-4 Ap/OF at rated thermal power.

3.1.4 Control Element Assembly (CEA) Alignment (Action 3.1.4.B.1)

The allowable time to realign a CEA may be provided by the full core power distribution monitoring system (Better Axial Shape Selection System - BASSS) or COLR Figure 3.1.4, "Allowable Time to Realign CEA Versus Initial Total Integrated Radial Peaking Factor (FrT).y If COLR Figure 3.1.4 is used, the pre-misaligned FrT value used to determine the allowable time to realign the CEA shall be the latest measurement taken within 5 days prior to the CEA misalignment. If no measurements have been taken within 5 days prior to the misalignment and the full core power distribution monitoring system is unavailable then the time to realign is zero (0) minutes.

3.1.6 Regulating Control Element Assembly (CEA) Insertion Limits (SR 3.1.6.1 and SR 3.1.6.2)

The regulating CEA groups insertion limits are shown on COLR Figure 3.1.6.

3.2.1 Linear Heat Rate (LHR) (SR 3.2.1.2 and SR 3.2.1.4)

The linear heat rate shall not exceed the limits shown on COLR Figure 3.2.1-1.

The axial shape index power dependent control limits are given in COLR Figure 3.2.1-2.

When using the excore detector monitoring system (SR 3.2.1.2):

The alarm setpoints are equal to the ASI limits, therefore when the alarms are adjusted, they provide indication to the operator that ASI is not within the limits.

The axial shape index alarm setpoints are shown as a function of fraction of thermal power on COLR Figure 3.2.1-2. A scaling factor (N-Factor) vs. FxyT is shown in COLR Figure 3.2.1-3. The fraction of thermal power shown in COLR Figure 3.2.1-2 must be scaled by the N-Factor to determine the axial shape index alarm setpoints as a function of fraction of rated thermal power.
