Dear Mr. Denton:

SUBJECT:

Grand Gulf Nuclear Station Unit 1 Docket No. 50-416 License No. NPF-29 File: 0260/0840/L-860.0 High Density Spent Fuel Racks-Correction to Table 1 of AECM-85/0252 AECM-85/0297 By letter dated August 15, 1985 (AECM-85/0252), Mississippi Power & Light provided a final response to the NRC Structural Engineering Branch's question regarding the dynamic analysis of the high density spent fuel racks proposed for installation at Grand Gulf Unit 1. The purpose of this letter is to correct an inadvertent error in the August 15, 1985 submittal.

The correction is made in the attached response and is indicated by an asterisk in column 3 of Table 1. This information was discussed with the Grand Gulf NRC Project Manager during a recent teleconference. If you have any additional questions, please contact this office.

Yours truly, L. F. Dale Director MLC/JCC:bms Attachment cc: Mr. J. B. Richard (w/a)

.A. -SPENT FUEL RACK SEISMIC ANALYSIS

[A.1 QUESTION With. respect to the numerical solution of the dynamic analysis, please provide the following:.

a. Proof of satisfactory convergence and stability of the numerical solution of the equations.

b.- The integration time step used, and its relationship to that integration time step forming the boundary of stable solutions.

A.1 ANSWER The integration time step used in all dynayic analyses in

. Grand Gulf Unit 1 fuel pools was 0.2 x 10 seconds. Table 1 shows the convergence study performed on G-rack (11 x 11 module).

-It is found that ge converged result is in reasonable accord with the 0.2 x 10 second solution.
