1.0 INTRODUCTION

1 This report provides the cycle-specific limits for operation of the Cooper Nuclear Station through Cycle 18. It includes the limits for the Rod Block Monitor Upscale Set Point, Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (APLHGR), Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR) and Minimum Critical Power Ratio (MCPR). If any of these limits is exceeded, action will be taken as defined in the Technical Specifications.

These core operating limit values have been determined using the NRC-approved methodologies given in References 1 and 4 and are established such that all applicable plant safety analysis limits are met.

2.0 CORE OPERATING LIMITS Cooper Nuclear Station shall operate within the bounds of the below limits. The applicable .

Technical Specifications are referenced in each subsection. I 2.1 Rod Block Monitor Uoscale Set Point l Technical Specification Table 3.2.C states that the Rod Block Monitor (RBM) upscale ]

(power referenced) trip level setting is determined from the following: i i

Low Trip Intermediate Trip High Trip Lowest Rated Set Point Set Point Set Point MCPR Limit: (LTSP) (ITSP) (HTSP)

(LPSPsP51 PSP) (IPSPSPSHPSP) (HTSPSP) 1 1.20 s 117.0/125 5 111.2/125 5 107.4/125 1 1 1.25 s 120.0/125 5 115.2/125 1 110.2/125 t 1.30 s 123.0/125 5 118.0/125 5 113.2/125 LPSP, IPSP and HPSP are the Low Power Set Point, intermediate Power Set Point and High Power Set Point, respectively, as listed in Technical Specification Table 3.2.C.

The lowest rated MCPR limit to be used with this table for Cycle 18 is 11.20. The trip level settings associated with this MCPR limit have been generically calculated and verified to bound the Rod Withdrawal Error Analysis for Cycle 18 operation.

Technical Specifications

Reference:

3.2.C 2.2 Averaae Planar Linear Heat Generation Limits The most limiting lattice APLHGR value (excluding natural uranium) for each fuel bundle as a function of Planar Average Exposure, core power and core flowis calculated by multiplying the value from Figures 1,2,3 and 4 by the smaller of the MAPLHGR Flow Factor, MAPFAC, (Figure 5) or the Power-Dependent MAPLHGR Factor, MAPFACp, (Figure 6). APLHGR values determined with the SAFE /REFLOOD LOCA methodology are given in References 3 through 6 while MAPFAC, and MAPFAC, were determined in Reference 8.

The fuel bundles referred to in Figures 1,2,3 and 4 consist of multiple combinations of enriched uranium and gadolinia filled lattices each having its own calculated maximum APLHGR (MAPLHGR) value. Hence, these fuel bundles have multiple MAPLHGR limiting values at a given planar exposure. The MAPLHGR values for these lattices, along with the axial location of each lattice in the bundle, are considered proprietary Cycle 18 4/25/97

information by General Electric and are given in Reference 3 as a function of planar l average exposure.

i i The MAPLHGR limits referred to above are for two recirculation loop operations. For i single loop operation, the limiting APLHGR value is obtained per Reference 6, as explained in the note at the bottom of Figures 1 through 4.

i Technical Specification

Reference:

3.11.A l e  !

2.3 Linear Heat Generation Rate Limit J

The limiting power density and maximum allowable Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR) i referred to in Technical Specification Sections 1.0.A.4 and 3.11.B is the design LHGR; this

design LHGR value is given in Table 1.

2.4 Minimum Critical Power Ratio Limits

, The operating limit MCPR (OLMCPR) values are a function of core thermal power, core flow. fuel bundle, scram time (T) and fuel exposure. The scram time (T) is determined from i CNS Procedure 10.9, Control Rod Scram Time Evaluation; the OLMCPR values are as j follows:

4 4 2.4.1 For core thermal power 125 percent and < 30 percent of rated power, the OLMCPR is equal to the power dependent MCPR (MCPR,) from Figure 7.

I 2.4.2 For core thermal power 130 percent of rated power, the OLMCPR is the greater of either:

i l' 2.4.2.1 The applicable flow dependent MCPR (MCPR,) determined from Figure 8,or 2.4.2.2 The appropriate scram time (T) dependent MCPR at rated power from l Figures 9 and 10, multiplied by the applicable power dependent MCPR l multiplier (K,) from Figure 7.
