Exelon Nuclear- Nuclear Fuels COLR PEACH BOTTOM 2 Rev. 13 P2C22 Core Operating Limits Report Page 6 of26 0 2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION This report provides the following cycle-specific parameter limits for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station Unit 2 CYCLE 22 (RELOAD 21):
- Maximum Average Planar Linear Heat Generation Rate (MAPLHGR)
- Operating Limit Minimum Critical Power Ratio (OLMCPR)
- Linear Heat Generation Rate (LHGR)
- Turbine Bypass Valve Parameters
- Stability Protection Setpoints
- Asymmetric Feedwater Temperature Operation (AFTO) thermal limit penalties These values have been determined using NRC-approved methodology and are established such that all applicable limits of the plant safety analysis are met. SLO, FWHOOS operation, and FFWTR operation are not permitted in the MELLLA+ Region as controlled by station procedures. For the MELLLA+ Region, a specific definition of FWHOOS is provided in Facility Operating License (FOL) Section 2.C(l6).
This report provides cycle-specific Operating Limit MCPR, LHGR, MAPLHGR thermal limits, and related information for the following conditions:
- All points in the operating region of the power/flow map including the MELLLA+ Region down to 85.2%
0 of rated core flow during full power (4016 MWt) operation (Appendix A)
- Increased Core Flow (ICF), up to 110% of rated core flow
- End-of-Cycle Power Coastdown to a minimum power level of 40%
- Final Feedwater Temperature Reduction (FFWTR) between End-of-Rated (EOR) and End-of-Cycle (EOC) up to 90° F temperature reduction (4th and 5th stage FWHOOS)
- Asymmetric Feedwater Temperature Operation ARTS provides for power- and flow-dependent thermal limit adjustments and multipliers that allow for a more reliable administration of the MCPR and LHGR thermal limits. The OLMCPR is determined by the cycle-specific reload analyses in Reference 2. Rated LHGR values are obtained from the bundle-specific thermal-mechanical analysis documented in Reference 13. Supporting documentation for the ARTS-based limits is provided in Reference 2. The off-rated limits assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses bound the cycle-specific limits calculated for MELLLA+
operation. The Allowable Values documented in Reference 5 for feedwater temperature as a function of thermal power for both FWHOOS and FFWTR are specified in the appropriate Peach Bottom procedures. The Peach Bottom Unit 2 Cycle 22 core is comprised entirely of GNF2 fuel.

For single loop operation, a multiplier is used, which is shown in Table 3-2. The impact of AFTO on MAPLHGR is addressed in Section l 0.0.

These values are determined by the cycle-specific fuel reload analyses in Reference 2. The values in Table 4-1 assume a 45 ms or greater delay between the time of the first TCV movement and the time of first TSV movement following a turbine trip, as analyzed in Appendix Hof Reference 2. Control rod scram time verification is required as per Technical Specification 3 .1.4, "Control Rod Scram Times". Tau ( t), a measure of scram time performance to notch position 36 throughout the cycle, is determined based on the cumulative scram time test results. The calculation of Tau shall be performed in accordance with site procedures. Linear interpolation shall be used to calculate the OLMCPR value if Tau is between 0.0 (Tau Option B) and 1.0 (Tau Option A). Table 4-1 is valid for a maximum FWT reduction of90°F (Reference 2).
Separate OLMCPR values are presented in Table 4-1 for the conditions listed in Section 11.0. The impact of AFTO on MCPR is addressed in Section 10.0. For PRIPLUOOS + TBSOOS and PR/PLUOOS +
RPTOOS conditions, the limits are listed in Section I 0.0; these values are bounding for non-AFTO conditions.
The ARTS-based power-dependent MCPR limits are provided in Table 4-2. Table 4-2 is valid for a maximum temperature reduction of90 °F for FFWTR operation (bounding for FWHOOS operation) 0 (Reference 2). The flow-dependent MCPR limits are provided in Tables 4-3 and 4-4. Table 4-3 is valid for dual loop operating conditions with symmetric feedwater temperature operation, and Table 4-4 is valid for single loop operating conditions with symmetric feedwater temperature operation.

The ARTS-based LHGR power-dependent multipliers are provided in Table 5-3. Table 5-3 is valid for a maximum temperature reduction of90° F for FFWTR operation (bounding for FWHOOS operation) (Reference 2). The flow-dependent multipliers are provided in Table 5-4 as a function of the number of recirculation loops in operation. The SLO LHGR multiplier is provided and accounted for in Table 5-4. The power- and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers were obtained from Reference 2. The impact of AFTO on LHGR is addressed in Section 10.0. For PRIPLUOOS + TBSOOS and PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS conditions, the limits are listed in Section 10.0; these values are bounding for non-AFTO conditions. The power and flow dependent LHGR multipliers are sufficient to provide adequate protection for the off-rated conditions from an ECCS-LOCA analysis perspective.

Exelon Nuclear - Nuclear Fuels COLR PEACH BOTTOM 2 Rev. 13 P2C22 Core Operating Limits Report Page 19 of26 0 10.0 ASYMMETRIC FEEDWATER TEMPERATURE OPERATION (AFTO)
Asymmetric feedwater heating is the result of the specific configuration of the feedwater lines at Peach Bottom. A reduction in heating in either the 'A' or the 'C' heater strings will result in a temperature mismatch between the feedwater flows entering the opposite sides of the reactor vessel. This temperature mismatch may result in errors in the thermal limit values calculated by the core monitoring system. Thermal limit values for all conditions and events are impacted by these errors excluding SLO conditions. The station no longer requires SLO AFTO penalties due to a 30 MONICORE upgrade. AFTO is defined as operation in a feedwater heater/string configuration that results in a specified threshold difference as described in Reference 9. To simplify the implementation of the AFTO limits, only the maximum AFTO penalties indicated in Table 13 of Reference 9 will be implemented when the threshold asymmetry temperature is exceeded; this will minimize the number of AFTO thermal limit tables in the COLR and core monitoring system. There is no AFTO penalty for a FWT difference below 20°F, for a difference between 20 and 55°F there is a 4% LHGRIMAPLHGR penalty and a 3% MCPR penalty, and thermal limits are unanalyzed for a difference above 55°F.
10.1 LHGR LIMITS The ARTS-based LHGR power-dependent multipliers for AFTO operation are provided in Table 10-1. The flow-dependent multipliers for AFTO in DLO are provided in Table 10-2. The power- and flow-dependent LHGR multipliers were obtained from Reference 2 and were adjusted with the appropriate penalties as per Reference 9. PR/PLUOOS + TBSOOS and PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS values were obtained by talcing the most limiting values of the two EOOS conditions (Reference 11). The maximum feedwater temperature difference allowed without a thermal limit penalty is 20°F. Once the temperature difference exceeds 20°F the maximum penalties from Reference 9 are applied to the thermal limits. Additionally, no LHGR penalties 0 are required for AFTO while in SLO as previously discussed.

The ARTS-based power-dependent MCPR limits for use during AFTO conditions are provided in Table 10-4. The flow-dependent MCPR limits for AFTO are provided in Table 10-5. The power- and flow-dependent OLMCPR curves were obtained from Reference 2 and were adjusted with a penalty for feedwater temperature difference greater than 20°F as per Reference 9. The values in Table 10-3 assume a 45 ms or greater delay between the time of the first TCV movement and the time of first TSV movement following a turbine trip. PR/PLUOOS + TBSOOS and PR/PLUOOS + RPTOOS values were obtained by taking the most limiting values of the two EOOS conditions (Reference 11). No MCPR penalties are required for asymmetric temperature differentials less than or equal to 20 °F.
