Implementation Schedule The McGuire Unit 2 Cycle 25 COLR requires the reload 50.59 be approved prior to implementation and fuel loading. Revision 0 may become effective any time during No MODE between cycles 24 and 25, but must become effective prior to entering MODE 6 which starts cycle 25. The McGuire 2 Cycle 24 COLR will cease to be effective during No MODE between cycles 25 and 26. Data Files to be Implemented No data files are transmitted as part of this document.

where: FkH (X, Y) Leo is the steady-state, maximum allowed radial peak and includes allowances for calculation/measurement uncertainty.

MARP(X,Y)

= Cycle-specific operating limit Maximum Allowable Radial Peaks. MARP(X,Y) radial peaking limits are provided in Table 3. p Thermal Power Rated Thermal Power RRH = Thermal Power reduction required to compensate for each 1 % that the measured radial peak, Fki.i (X,Y), exceeds its limit. RRH also is used to scale the MARP limits as a function of power per the (X, Y)Lco equation. (RRH = 3.34 (0.0 < P ::::_ 1.0)) The following parameters are required for core monitoring per the surveillance requirements of Technical Specification 3.2.2. 2.7.2 (X,Y)SURV

= (X, Y) x MM (X, r") UMRxTILT where: SURV (X,Y) = Cycle dependent maximum allowable design peaking factor that ensures the F 1 rn(X,Y) limit will be preserved for operation within the LCO limits. FkH (X,Y)suRv includes allowances for calculation/measurement uncertainty.
