Preparation of thisreport was performed in accordance with Exelon Nuclear, Nuclear Fuels T&RM NF-AB-120-3600.The data presented in this report is valid for all licensed operating domains on the operating map, including:" Maximum Extended Load Line Limit down to 82.9% of rated core flow during full power operation* Increased Core Flow (ICF) up to I 10% of rated core flow* Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) up to 105&deg;F during cycle extension operation" Feedwater Heater Out of Service (FWHOOS) up to 60*F feedwater temperature reduction at any timeduring the cycle prior to cycle extension.Further information on the cycle specific analyses for Limerick 2 Cycle 14 and the associated operatingdomains discussed above is available in Reference 2.Page 6 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 93.0 MAPLHGR Limits3.1 Technical SpecificationSection 3.2.13.2 DescriptionThe limiting MAPLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fueltype as a function of average planar exposure is given in Table 3-1. For single loop operation, amultiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-2. The power and flow dependent multipliers forMAPLHGR have been removed and replaced with LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F); therefore,MAPFAC(P) and MAPFAC(F) are equal to 1.0 for all power and flow conditions (Reference 2).LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) are addressed in Section 5.0.TABLE 3-1MAPLHGR versus Average Planar Exposure -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)Average Planar Exposure MAPLHGR Limit(GWDIST) (kW/ft)0.0 13.7817.52 13.7860.78 7.5063.50 6.69TABLE 3-2MAPLHGR Single Loop Operation (SLO) Multiplier -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)SLO Multiplier 0.80Page 7 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits Report COLR Limerick 2 Rev. 94.0 MCPR Limits4.1 Technical SpecificationSection 3.2.34.2 DescriptionTable 4-1 is derived from Reference 2 and is valid for all fuel types and all operating domains. Table4-1 includes treatment of these MCPR limits for all conditions listed in Section 9.0, Modes ofOperation.ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers, whichallow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR thermal limit. The flow dependent adjustmentMCPR(F) is sufficiently generic to apply to all fuel types and operating domains. The powerdependent adjustment MCPR(P) is independent of recirculation pump trip operability. MCPR(P)and MCPR(F) are independent of Scram Time Option. In addition, there are ten sets of powerdependent MCPR multipliers (Kp) for use with BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO andSLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS, PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS conditionis included in the BASE MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) limits and Kp multipliers and is bounded by theTBSOOS limits and multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS inthose operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with theRPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOScondition requires core thermal power < 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains theconditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) adjustments areprovided in Tables 4-2 and 4-3. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow conditionby evaluating the power dependent MCPR and the flow dependent MCPR and selecting the greaterof the two.Page 8 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9TABLE 4-1Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR) -All Fuel Types(References 2 and 8)SCRAM Cycle Ex posureTime < EOR -2542 _ EOR -2542EOOS Combination MWd/ST MWd/STB 1.36(2) 1.36A 1.41 1.44BASE SLO(3 B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.58B 1.37 1.39A 1.46 1.48TBSOOS SLO(3 B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.58B 1.37 1.39A 1.54 1.56RPTOOS SLO3) B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.59B 1.36,2) 1.36A 1.41 1.47PROOS SLO(3) B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.58PROOS+TBSOOS B 1.37 1.39PROOS+RPTOOS B 1.37 1.391 When Tau does not equal 0 or 1, determine OLMCPR via linear interpolation.

For single loop operation, amultiplier is used, which is shown in Table 5-3 and applied in Table 5-5. No further Single LoopOperating multipliers need to be applied to the values in Tables 5-4 and 5-5.ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit multipliers, which allow for a morereliable administration of the LHGR thermal limits. There are two sets of flow dependent LHGRmultipliers for dual-loop and single-loop operation. In addition, there are ten sets of powerdependent LHGR multipliers for use with the BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLOconditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS and PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition isincluded in the BASE LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOSmultipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operatingconditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operatingcondition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires corethermal power < 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine BypassValve Operability. The ARTS LHGR multipliers are shown in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. Linearinterpolation should be used for points not listed in Reference 7.Thermal limit monitoring must be performed with the more limiting LHGR limit resulting from thepower and flow biased calculation. The LHGRFAC(P) curves are independent of recirculation pumptrip operability.TABLE 5-1Linear Heat Generation Rate Limits -U02 Rods(References 5 and 7)I Fuel Type I LHGR IGNF2 See Table B-I of Reference 7TABLE 5-2Linear Heat Generation Rate Limits -Gad Rods(References 5 and 7)Fuel Type LHGRGNF2 See Table B-2 of Reference 7Page 11 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9TABLE 5-3LHGR Single Loop Operation (SLO) Multiplier -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)SLO Multiplier' 0.80TABLE 5-4Power Dependent LHGR Multiplier LHGRFAC(P) -All Fuel Types(References 2 and 8)Core Core Thermal Power (% of rated)Flow _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _EOOS Combination (%of 0 25 <130 1 301 65 85 100rated) LHGRFAC(P) Multiplier =BASE 60 0.485 0.485 0.490 .750 0.817 0.922 1.000_ _ _ _ > 60 0.434 0.434 0.473BASE SLO > 60 0.485 0.485 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473TBSOOS 60 043 043 .90.0750 0.817 0.922 i.000<5 6 0.463 0.463 0.490____________ > 60 0.352 0.352 0386 0.750_ 0.817_ 1 0.22 .00TBSOOS SLO 60 0.463 0.463 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.352 0.352 0.386 60 0.485 0.485 0.490RPTOOS 0.434 0.434 0.473 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000S 60 0.434 0.434 0.4973* 60 0.485 0.485 0.497RPTOOS SLO 60 0.45 0.45 0.40 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473PROOS :L 60 0.485 0.485 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473<s 60 0.485 0.485 0.490PROOS SLO r560.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473PROOS+TBSOOS < 60 0.463 0.463 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.352 0.352 0.386 0.750 0.817 0.2 _.0PROOS+RPTOOS s60 0.485 0.485 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000I O O > 60 0.434 0.434 0.473 = -1 Applied through Table 5-5Page 12 of 18 Exelon Nuclear- Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9TABLE 5-5Flow Dependent LHGR Multiplier LHGRFAC(F) -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)Core Flow (% of rated)EOOS Combination 0 30 44.1 70 80 110LHGRFAC(F) MultiplierDual Loop 0.506 0.706 0.973 1.000 1.000Single Loop 0.506 0.706 0.800 0.800S. ._ , .; ~ ,:.080Page 13 of 18 Exelon Nuclear- Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9.6.0 Control Rod Block Setpoints6.1 Technical SpecificationSections 3.1.4.3 and 3.3.66.2 DescriptionThe ARTS Rod Block Monitor provides for power-dependent RBM trips.

Preparation of thisreport was performed in accordance with Exelon Nuclear, Nuclear Fuels T&RM NF-AB-120-3600.The data presented in this report is valid for all licensed operating domains on the operating map, including:" Maximum Extended Load Line Limit down to 82.9% of rated core flow during full power operation* Increased Core Flow (ICF) up to I 10% of rated core flow* Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) up to 105°F during cycle extension operation" Feedwater Heater Out of Service (FWHOOS) up to 60*F feedwater temperature reduction at any timeduring the cycle prior to cycle extension.Further information on the cycle specific analyses for Limerick 2 Cycle 14 and the associated operatingdomains discussed above is available in Reference 2.Page 6 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 93.0 MAPLHGR Limits3.1 Technical SpecificationSection 3.2.13.2 DescriptionThe limiting MAPLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fueltype as a function of average planar exposure is given in Table 3-1. For single loop operation, amultiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-2. The power and flow dependent multipliers forMAPLHGR have been removed and replaced with LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F); therefore,MAPFAC(P) and MAPFAC(F) are equal to 1.0 for all power and flow conditions (Reference 2).LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) are addressed in Section 5.0.TABLE 3-1MAPLHGR versus Average Planar Exposure -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)Average Planar Exposure MAPLHGR Limit(GWDIST) (kW/ft)0.0 13.7817.52 13.7860.78 7.5063.50 6.69TABLE 3-2MAPLHGR Single Loop Operation (SLO) Multiplier -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)SLO Multiplier 0.80Page 7 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits Report COLR Limerick 2 Rev. 94.0 MCPR Limits4.1 Technical SpecificationSection 3.2.34.2 DescriptionTable 4-1 is derived from Reference 2 and is valid for all fuel types and all operating domains. Table4-1 includes treatment of these MCPR limits for all conditions listed in Section 9.0, Modes ofOperation.ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers, whichallow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR thermal limit. The flow dependent adjustmentMCPR(F) is sufficiently generic to apply to all fuel types and operating domains. The powerdependent adjustment MCPR(P) is independent of recirculation pump trip operability. MCPR(P)and MCPR(F) are independent of Scram Time Option. In addition, there are ten sets of powerdependent MCPR multipliers (Kp) for use with BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO andSLO conditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS, PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS conditionis included in the BASE MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) limits and Kp multipliers and is bounded by theTBSOOS limits and multipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS inthose operating conditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with theRPTOOS operating condition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOScondition requires core thermal power < 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains theconditions for Turbine Bypass Valve Operability. MCPR(P) and MCPR(F) adjustments areprovided in Tables 4-2 and 4-3. The OLMCPR is determined for a given power and flow conditionby evaluating the power dependent MCPR and the flow dependent MCPR and selecting the greaterof the two.Page 8 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9TABLE 4-1Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR) -All Fuel Types(References 2 and 8)SCRAM Cycle Ex posureTime < EOR -2542 _ EOR -2542EOOS Combination MWd/ST MWd/STB 1.36(2) 1.36A 1.41 1.44BASE SLO(3 B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.58B 1.37 1.39A 1.46 1.48TBSOOS SLO(3 B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.58B 1.37 1.39A 1.54 1.56RPTOOS SLO3) B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.59B 1.36,2) 1.36A 1.41 1.47PROOS SLO(3) B 1.58 1.58A 1.58 1.58PROOS+TBSOOS B 1.37 1.39PROOS+RPTOOS B 1.37 1.391 When Tau does not equal 0 or 1, determine OLMCPR via linear interpolation.

For single loop operation, amultiplier is used, which is shown in Table 5-3 and applied in Table 5-5. No further Single LoopOperating multipliers need to be applied to the values in Tables 5-4 and 5-5.ARTS provides for power and flow dependent thermal limit multipliers, which allow for a morereliable administration of the LHGR thermal limits. There are two sets of flow dependent LHGRmultipliers for dual-loop and single-loop operation. In addition, there are ten sets of powerdependent LHGR multipliers for use with the BASE, TBSOOS, RPTOOS, PROOS, DLO and SLOconditions, and PROOS+TBSOOS and PROOS+RPTOOS, DLO only. The PLUOOS condition isincluded in the BASE LHGRFAC(P) and LHGRFAC(F) multipliers and is bounded by the TBSOOSmultipliers; therefore, no additional adjustments are required for PLUOOS in those operatingconditions. The PLUOOS condition has not been analyzed concurrent with the RPTOOS operatingcondition. Operation in the PLUOOS condition concurrent with the RPTOOS condition requires corethermal power < 55% of rated (Reference 3). Section 7.0 contains the conditions for Turbine BypassValve Operability. The ARTS LHGR multipliers are shown in Tables 5-4 and 5-5. Linearinterpolation should be used for points not listed in Reference 7.Thermal limit monitoring must be performed with the more limiting LHGR limit resulting from thepower and flow biased calculation. The LHGRFAC(P) curves are independent of recirculation pumptrip operability.TABLE 5-1Linear Heat Generation Rate Limits -U02 Rods(References 5 and 7)I Fuel Type I LHGR IGNF2 See Table B-I of Reference 7TABLE 5-2Linear Heat Generation Rate Limits -Gad Rods(References 5 and 7)Fuel Type LHGRGNF2 See Table B-2 of Reference 7Page 11 of 18 Exelon Nuclear -Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9TABLE 5-3LHGR Single Loop Operation (SLO) Multiplier -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)SLO Multiplier' 0.80TABLE 5-4Power Dependent LHGR Multiplier LHGRFAC(P) -All Fuel Types(References 2 and 8)Core Core Thermal Power (% of rated)Flow _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _EOOS Combination (%of 0 25 <130 1 301 65 85 100rated) LHGRFAC(P) Multiplier =BASE 60 0.485 0.485 0.490 .750 0.817 0.922 1.000_ _ _ _ > 60 0.434 0.434 0.473BASE SLO > 60 0.485 0.485 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473TBSOOS 60 043 043 .90.0750 0.817 0.922 i.000<5 6 0.463 0.463 0.490____________ > 60 0.352 0.352 0386 0.750_ 0.817_ 1 0.22 .00TBSOOS SLO 60 0.463 0.463 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.352 0.352 0.386 60 0.485 0.485 0.490RPTOOS 0.434 0.434 0.473 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000S 60 0.434 0.434 0.4973* 60 0.485 0.485 0.497RPTOOS SLO 60 0.45 0.45 0.40 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473PROOS :L 60 0.485 0.485 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.434 0.434 0.473 60 0.434 0.434 0.473PROOS+TBSOOS < 60 0.463 0.463 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000> 60 0.352 0.352 0.386 0.750 0.817 0.2 _.0PROOS+RPTOOS s60 0.485 0.485 0.490 0.750 0.817 0.922 1.000I O O > 60 0.434 0.434 0.473 = -1 Applied through Table 5-5Page 12 of 18 Exelon Nuclear- Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9TABLE 5-5Flow Dependent LHGR Multiplier LHGRFAC(F) -All Fuel Types(Reference 2)Core Flow (% of rated)EOOS Combination 0 30 44.1 70 80 110LHGRFAC(F) MultiplierDual Loop 0.506 0.706 0.973 1.000 1.000Single Loop 0.506 0.706 0.800 0.800S. ._ , .; ~ ,:.080Page 13 of 18 Exelon Nuclear- Nuclear FuelsCore Operating Limits ReportCOLR Limerick 2 Rev. 9.6.0 Control Rod Block Setpoints6.1 Technical SpecificationSections 3.1.4.3 and 3.3.66.2 DescriptionThe ARTS Rod Block Monitor provides for power-dependent RBM trips.
