PGN Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. & Safety Analysis Design Calc. No. 1B21-0625 B1C15 Core Operating Limits Report Page 5, Revision 0 Introduction and Summary This COLR revision was performed to support Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 15 operation at up to 2923 MWt. The main changes are those associated with the thermal limits and Power-Flow maps.

This report provides the values of the power distribution limits and control rod withdrawal block instrumentation setpoints for Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 15 as required by TS 5.6.5.

,OPERATIN LI.i 478of s-5 s >.--ir- ,; -X+i1 m Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) limits TS 5.6.5.a. I (with associated core flow and core power adjustment factors)

Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) limits TS 5.6.5.a.2 (with associated core flow and core power adjustment factors)

Period Based Detection Algorithm (PBDA) Setpoint for Function 2.f of TS 3.3.1. 1, TS 5.6.5.a.3 Oscillation Power Range Monitor (OPRM) _

Allowable Values and power range setpoints for Rod Block Monitor Upscale TS 5.6.5.a.4 Functions of TS 3.3.2.1 Per TS 5.6.5.b and 5.6.5.c, these values have been determined using NRC approved methodology and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met. The limits specified in this report support single loop operation (SLO) as required by TS LCO 3.4.1 and inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System as required by TS 3.7.6.

In order to support the Stability Option HI with an inoperable OPRM scram function, the following is also included in this report:

GLDW BWROG Interim Corrective Action Stability Regions I TS 3.3.1.1 LCO Condition I I This report conforms to Quality Assurance requirements as specified in Reference 1.

PGN Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. &Safety Analysis Design Calc. No. 1B21-0625 B1 C15 Core Operating Limits Report Page 6, Revision 0 Single Loop Operation Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 15 may operate over the entire MEOD range with Single Recirculation Loop Operation (SLO) as permitted by TS 3.4.1 with applicable limits specified in the COLR for TS LCO's 3.2.1, and 3.2.2. The applicable limits are:

LCO 3.2.1, Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) Limits: per Reference 1, the Figures 9 andlo described in the APLHGR Limits section below include a SLO limitation of 0.8 on the MAPLHGR(F) and MAPLHGR(P) multipliers.

LCO 3.2.2, Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) Limits: per Reference 1, Table I and Figures 11 and 12, the MCPR limits presented apply to SLO without modification.

Various indicators on the Power/Flow maps are provided not as operating limits but rather as a convenience for the operators: a single loop operation (SLO) Entry Rod Line is shown on the two loop operation maps to avoid regions of instability in the event of a pump trip; a maximum core flow line is shown on the single loop operation maps to avoid vibration problems; and APRM STP Scram and Rod Block nominal trip setpoint limits are shown at the estimated core flow corresponding to the actual drive flow-based setpoints to indicate where the operator may encounter these setpoints (LCO 3.3.1.1, Reactor Protection System Instrumentation Function 2.b (Average Power Range Monitors Simulated Thermal Power - High Allowable Value).

Inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System Brunswick Unit 1, Cycle 15 may operate with an inoperable Main Turbine Bypass System in accordance with TS 3.7.6 with applicable limits specified in the COLR for TS LCO 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.

Two or more bypass valves inoperable renders the System inoperable, although the Turbine Bypass Out-of-Service (TBPOOS) analysis supports operation with all bypass valves inoperable for the entire MEOD range and up to 110 0F rated equivalent feedwater temperature reduction. The system response time assumed by the safety analyses from event initiation to start of bypass valve opening is 0.10 seconds, with 80% of the bypass flow capacity achieved in 0.30 seconds. The applicable limits are as follows:

LCO 3.2.1, Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR) Limits: in accordance with Reference 1 as shown in Figure 10, TBPOOS does not require an additional reduction in the MAPLGHR(P) limits, as the Turbine Bypass Operable and Inoperable limits are identical.

LCO 3.2.2, Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR) Limits: in accordance with Reference 1, TBPOOS does not require an additional increase in the MCPR(P) multiplier as shown in Figure 12, as the Turbine Bypass Operable and Inoperable limits are identical. TBPOOS requires increased MCPR limits, included in Table 1.

PGN Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. &Safety Analysis Design Calc. No. 11B21-0625 B1C15 Core Operating Limits Report Page 7, Revision 0 Feedwater Temperature Reduction A variation within l1F of nominal feedwater temperature has been evaluated as in compliance with normal operating limits. A feedwater temperature reduction of > 10F requires the use of FWTR MCPR limits (Table 1) and Stability Option m limits (Figures 17 and 18).

APLHGR Limits The limiting APLHGR value for the most limiting lattice (excluding natural uranium) of each fuel type as a function of planar average exposure is given in Figures 1 through 8. These values were determined with the SAFER/GESTR LOCA methodology described in GESTAR-II (Reference 2).

Figures 1 through 8 are to be used only when hand calculations are required as specified in the bases for TS 3.2.1. Hand calculated results may not match a POWERPLEX calculation since normal monitoring of the APLHGR limits with POWERPLEX uses the complete set of lattices for each fuel type provided in Reference 3.

The core flow and core power adjustment factors for use in TS 3.2.1 are presented in Figures 9 and

10. For any given flow/power state, the minimum of MAPLHGR(F) determined from Figure 9 and MAPLHGR(P) determined from Figure 10 is used to determine the governing limit.

MCPR Limits The Scram Speed MCPR OPTION A, OPTION B, and non-pressurization transient MCPR limits for use in TS 3.2.2 for each fuel type as a function of cycle average exposure are given in Table 1.

These values were determined with the GEMINI (TRACG) methodology and GEXL-PLUS critical power correlation described in GESTAR-il (Reference 2), and are consistent with a Safety Limit MCPR of 1.11 specified by TS 2.1.1.2.

The core flow and core power adjustment factors for use in TS 3.2.2 are presented in Figures 11 and

12. For any given power/flow state, the maximum of MCPR(F) determined from Figure 11 and MCPR(P) determined from Figure 12 is used to determine the governing limit.

All MCPR limits presented in Table 1, Figure 11 and Figure 12 apply to two recirculation pump operation and SLO without modification.

RBM Rod Block Instrumentation Setpoints The nominal trip setpoints and allowable values of the control rod withdrawal block instrumentation for use in TS 3.3.2.1 (Table 3.3.2.1-1) are presented in Table 2. These values were determined to be consistent with the bases of the ARTS program and the determination of MCPR limits with the GEMINI(TRACG) methodology and the GEXL-PLUS critical power correlation described in GESTAR-II (Reference 2). Reference 8 revised certain of these setpoints to reflect changes

PGN Nuclear Fuels Mgmt. & Safety Analysis Design Calc. No. 11821-0625 B1C1 5 Core Operating Limits Report Page 8, Revision 0 associated with the installation of the NUMAC PRNM system. The table also includes information regarding required operability of the RBM, consistent with Technical Specification Table 3.3.2.1-1.

Stability Option III Brunswick Unit 1 has implemented BWROG Long Term Stability Solution Option III (Oscillation Power Range Monitor-OPRM) with the methodology described in Reference 4. Plant specific analysis incorporating the Option III hardware is described in Reference 5. Reload validation has been performed in accordance with Reference 6. The resulting stability based MCPR Operating Limit is provided for two conditions as a function of OPRM amplitude setpoint in Table 3. If desirable, Table 3 would support higher stability limits for various MCPR operating limits greater than the least limiting Table 1 AOO OLMCPR values, but the suggested stability setpoints are bounded by Table 1.Table 3 shows that OLMCPR(SS) is never as limiting as Figure 11 for any listed OPRM setpoint (Amplitude Setpoint Sp). Table 3 also shows that OLMCPR(2PT) is never as limiting as Table 1 for an OPRM setpoint of 1.13. Therefore the OPRM PBDA setpoint limit referenced by function 2.f of Table 3.3.1.1-1 of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1 is 1.13 for Cycle 15.

Per Table 3-2 of Reference 6, an Sp value of 1.13 supports selection of a Confirmation Count Setpoint Np of 15 or less.

Six Power/Flow maps for use at up to 2923 MWt (Figures 13-18) were developed based on References 1 and 7 to facilitate operation under Stability Option III as implemented by function 2.f of Table 3.3.1.1-1 and LCO Condition I of Technical Specification 3.3.1.1. All six maps illustrate the region of the power/flow map above 25% power and below 60% flow where the system is required to be enabled.

The maps supporting an operable OPRM function 2.f (Figures 13, 15 and 17) show a Scram Avoidance Region, which is not a licensing requirement but is an operator aid to illustrate where the OPRM system may generate a scram to avoid an instability event. Figures 13 and 15 differ only in that the Figure 15 that supports SLO, indicates the maximum allowable core flow at 45 Mlbs/hr, and has the Simulated Thermal Power (STP) scram and rod block limits appropriately reduced for SLO.

Note that the STP scram and rod block limits are defined in Technical Specifications, the Technical Requirements Manual, and Plant procedures, and are included in the COLR as an operator aid rather than a licensing requirement. Figure 17 differs from Figure 13 by extending the existing regions to provide additional stability protection during FWTR. Intentional operation with SLO and FWTR is prohibited.

The maps (Figures 14 and 16) supporting an inoperable OPRM function 2.f show the BWROG-94078 Interim Corrective Actions stability regions required to support LCO Condition I.

Both figures also include a 5% Buffer Region around the Immediate Exit Region as an operator aid.

Figures 14 and 16 differ only in that the Figure 16 that supports SLO, indicates the maximum allowable core flow at 45 Mlbs/hr, and has the STP scram and rod block limits appropriately reduced for SLO. Figure 18 differs from Figure 14 by extending the existing regions to provide additional stability protection during FWTR. Intentional operation with SLO and EWTR is prohibited.
