1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Core Operating Limits Report (COLR) describes the cycle-specific parameter limits for operation of St. Lucie Unit 2. It contains the limits for the following as provided in Section 2.Moderator Temperature Coefficient CEA Position -Misalignment

> 15 Inches Regulating CEA Insertion Limits Linear Heat Rate TOTAL INTEGRATED RADIAL PEAKING FACTOR -FrT DNB Parameter Refueling Operations

-Boron Concentration SHUTDOWN MARGIN -T,, Greater Than 200 OF SHUTDOWN MARGIN -Tavg Less Than or Equal To 200 OF This report also contains the necessary figures which give the limits for the above listed parameters.

Terms appearing In capitalized type are DEFINED TERMS as defined In Section 1.0 of the Technical Specifications.

This report is prepared In accordance with the requirements of Technical Specification 6.9.1.11.St. Lucle Unit 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 Page 3 of 18 f St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 L-2006-128 Attachment 2.0 CORE OPERATING UMITS 2.1 Moderator Temperature Coefficient (TS 3.1.1.4)The moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) shall be less negative than -32 pcnm/F at RATED THERMAL POWER.2.2 CEA Position -Misalignment

> 15 Inches (TS 3.1.3.1)The time constraints for full power operation with one full-length CEA misaligned from any other CEA in Its group by more than 15 Inches are shown In Figure 3.1-1a.2.3 Reaulatina CEA Insertion Limits (TS 3.1.3.6)The regulating CEA groups shall be limited to the withdrawal sequence and to the insertion limits shown on Figure 3.1-2, with CEA Insertion between the Long Term Steady State Insertion Umits and the Power Dependent Insertion Umits restricted to: a. Less than or equal to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> per 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> interval, b. Less than or equal to 5 Effective Full Power Days per 30 Effective Full Power Days, and c. Less than or equal to 14 Effective Full Power Days per calendar year.2.4 Linear Heat Rate (TS 3.2.1)The linear heat rate shall not exceed the limits shown on Figure 3.2-1.The AXIAL SHAPE INDEX power dependent control limits are shown on Figure 3.2-2.Excore Detector Monitoring System During operation, with the linear heat rate (LHR) being monitored by the Excore Detector Monitoring System, the AXIAL SHAPE INDEX shall be maintained within the limits of Figure 3.2-2.Cycle specific W(z) curves to be used In the linear heat rate verification, to account for power distribution transients, are shown in Table 32-3 as function of core height for various cycle bumups. For other cycle bumups, W(z) values may be Interpolated or extrapolated as needed.If the margin to the linear heat rate has decreased as determined from the last two flux maps, then the linear heat rate must be increased by an appropriate penalty. A value of 2% Is chosen as the standard penalty. Unear heat rate margin decreases St. Lucle Unft 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 Page 4 of 18 St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 L-2006-128 Attachment that are predicted to be greater than 2% per 31 Effective Full Power Days require that penalty factors of greater than 2% be used to increase the measured linear heat rate LHRm(z). The Incremental penalty factors (in excess of 2% margin decrease) are included In the W(z) function of Table 3.2-3.Incore Detector Monitoring System During operation, with the linear heat rate being monitored by the Incore Detector Monitoring System, the Local Power Density alarm setpoints shall be adjusted to less than or equal to the limits shown on Figure 3.2-1.2.5 TOTAL INTEGRATED RADIAL PEAKING FACTOR -F.1 (TS 3.2.3)The calculated value of FT shall be limited to < 1.70.The power dependent FT limits are shown on Figure 3.2-3.2.6 DNB Parameters (TS 3.2.6)The following DNB-related parameters shall be maintained within the limits shown on Table 3.2-2: a. Cold Leg Temperature

b. Pressurizer Pressure c. Reactor Coolant System Flow rate d. AXIAL SHAPE INDEX 2.7 Refueling Operations

-Boron Concentration (TS 3.9.1)With the reactor vessel head closure bolts less than fully tensioned or with the head removed, the boron concentration of all filled portions of the Reactor Coolant System and the refueling canal shall be maintained uniform and sufficient to ensure that the more restrictive of the following reactivity conditions Is met: a. Either a K 0 f of 0.95 or less, or b. A boron concentration of greater than or equal to 1720 ppm.2.8 SHUTDOWN MARGIN Greater Than 200 OF (TS 3.1.1.1)The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to 3600 pcm.2.9 SHUTDOWN MARGIN -T, Less Than or Eaual To 200 OF (TS 3.1.1.2)The SHUTDOWN MARGIN shall be greater than or equal to 3000 pcm.St. Lucie UnIt 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 PageSof 18 St. Lucie Unit 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 Page 5 of 18 St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 L-2006-128 Attachment Table 3.2-2 DNB MARGIN LIMITS PARAMETER Cold Leg Temperature (narrow Range)Pressurizer Pressure*Reactor Coolant Flow Rate AXIAL SHAPE INDEX FOUR REACTOR COOLANT pUMPS OPERATING 535OF** _< T < 549 0 F 2225 psia < Ppn < 2350 psia**>:335,000 gpm Within the limits specified in Figure 3.2-4 Limit not applicable during either a THERMAL POWER ramp increase in excess of 5% of RATED THERMAL POWER or aTHERMAL POWER step increase of greater than 10% of RATED THERMAL POWER.** Applicable only if power level > 70% of RATED THERMAL POWER.St. Lucle UnIt 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 Page6oIl8 SL Lucie Unit 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 Page 6 of 18 St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 L-2006-128 Attachment COLR Table 3.2-3 W(z) Factors as a Function of Core Height for St Lucle Unit 2 Cycle 16 w(-)Core Height 100 EFPH 2000 EFPH 5000 EFPH 8000 EFPH 10000 EFPH (ft) (130 MWD/MTU) (2598 MWMT (6494 MWDIrrU) (10391 MWDJMTU) ,(12988 MWD/MTU)1I.59 *1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000 1.75 1.293 1.272 1.270 1.301 1.357 1.91 1.282 1.262 1.260 1.290 1.328 2.07 1270 1251 1.249 1.279 1.306 2.23 1.259 1.240 1.238 1.267 1.285 2.89 1.247 1.231 1.227 1.255 1.262 2.55 1.235 1.222 1.214 1.241 1.244 2.70 1.226 1.214 1.201 1.228 1.232 2.8 1.219 1.208 1.189 1.214 1.223 8.02 1.212 1.204 1.179 1.206 1.217 3.18 1.205 1.199 1.173 1.20M 1.212 8.34 1.199 1.193 1.171 1.200 1.206 3.50 1.192 1.188 1.170 1.197 1.201 3.66 1.185 1.183 1.168 1.193 1.194 8.82 1.180 1.178 1.185 1.189 1.186 3.98 1.175 1.174 1.162 1.184 1.180 4.14 1.170 1.168 1.158 1.178 1.178 4.30 1.164 1.162 1 1.154 1.172 1.174 4.45 1.158 1.155 1.149 1.165 1.169 4.61 1.151 1.148 1.143 1.157 1.164 4.77 1.144 1.140 1.187 1.149 1.168 4". 1.137 1.132 1.131 1.141 1.182 5.09 1,129 1.124 1.125 1.132 1.144 5.25 1.120 1.115 1.117 1.122 1.138 5.41 1.112 1.109 1.111 1.116 1.137 5.57 1.107 1.107 1.112 1.116 1.141 5.73 1.108 1.109 1.113 1.124 1.151 5.89 1.114 1.114 1.121 1.136 1.165 6.05 1.119 1.120 1.137 1.147 1.179 6.20 1.123 1.128 1.152 1.158 1.192 6.88 1.131 1.138 .1.166 1.168 1.204 6.52 1.144 1.148 1.180 1.178 1.215 6.63 1.158 1.159 1.194 1.183 1.226 6.84 1.172 1.170 1.208 1.199 1.236 7.00 1.185 1.182 1 .223 1 0 1.245 7.16 1.198 1.194 1.352 1.219 1.295 7.02 1.210 1.2D4 1.251 1.228 1.310 7.48 I "1 1214 1-254 1.20 1282 ...7.64 1.230 1,223 1.275 1.243 1.264 7.30 1.870 1.231 1.284 1.848 1.85 7.95 1.247 i.29 1252 1.2)" MI51 1.252 1.244 1.392 1.254 1,263 9.27 1.257 1249 1.308 1.256 139 L.43 1.2B4 1.257 1.314 1.265 1.264 8.5O 1.270 1.2"M 1.M2 1.2 1269 8.51.2"78 1,287 1.835 1I.29 1.280 8.91 1293 1.310 1 .=5 1.319 1.295 9.07 1.316 1.871 1.M3 1-310 9.23 1.344 1.353 1.390 1.356 1,327 s.8 1.87 I=7 1.414 1 ,1.84 1.348 9.65 1M35 1.391 1.A39 1.413 1.370 9.70 1 A19 1.408 1.462 1.436 1.389 ,-9..86. 1.000 1.00 1.000 1.000 1.000* Top and Bottom 15% are exluded.St. Lucle Unit 2 Cycle 16 COLR Rev 0 Page 7 of 18 St. Lucie Unit 2 Docket No. 50-389 L-2006-128 Attachment 1.72 1.70 1.68-u_ 1.66--o'I.1.62-.1.60.t 1.58-1.56-1.54-1 A9-ii r i r iiTrpifTrk1rii-Iirr1r r ITr IT r:.i T r irr, irn Trin rrn rlr, OIL W df. -iJIILII q 70)1 L:IJAISJLLI+/-L JLIILJILLLDLL " LL ILL ILL' .AI S L .70)-'-1 I i1 --II4I9 -- *I I "I I9 IJ Pl" I IP.I--I- I -. .-- e 'IS--P 511 ee .l l l l III S till II II DIPI~I Il DIPl-- II Sl-- l ,.LJJA. -J A J, .J4-, 1 1-.I IJ 1 LLI.J.L LJJ.L L1SU-1.i-
