Fuactional or Program Areas Inspected 1.

Spent Fuel Pool Modification a.

A transmittal letter was sent to Mr. Victor Stello, Director, Washington D.C.,

requesting to modify the spent fuel storage facilities.

The letter stated that a modification is neces-sary to continue operations beyond mid-1980 due to the limited space remaining within the existing spent fuel storage rack, the absence of available storage at remote existing locations at a reasonable cost, and the refueling schedule for 1978 and 1979. The title of the submi;tal letter was, " Spent Fuel Pool Modification, Description aid S-#aty Analysis, Environmental Impact Evaluation," dated ?.ove.er 14, 1977.

On March 6, 1979, A. Schewencer, Chief Operating Reactors Branch No. 1, Division of Operating Reactors, authorized an increase in the storage capacity of the spent fuel pools.

b.

Leckenby Company, Seattle, Washington, fabricated three high density spent fuel racks for the North Pool and four for the South Pool, all in accordance with ASME Section IX, 1977 Edition with Summer 1977 Addenda.

.

-2-286 005

.

.

Three of the racks are installed in the North Pool and the other four will be onsite and ready for installation approxi-mately August, 1979.

In approximately 1985, there will be a bid go out for the fabtication of four more spent fuel racks for the South Pool.

c.
