With the exceptionof limitedtime periodsfor maintenanceor non' refuelingoperations,administrativecontrolsmaintaingates in the open positionbetweenthe followingpools: fuel storage& preparationpool, fuel transferpool,spent fuel storagepool, and cask pit. Thus,these pools are normallyinter-connectedand at the samewater levelwhen the water level in the spent fuel pool is greaterthan 3.5 feet abovethe top of stored fuel seated in the storage racks.
Level I - Leveladequateto support operationof the normal fuel pool cooling system Indicatedlevelon eitherthe primaryor backupinstrumentchannelof greaterthan elevation619'4" plus the accuracyof the SFPlevel instrumentchannel,which is to be determined.The highestpointon the spent fuel pool racks is at elevation591'4".

Pleaseprovidethe following:
a) For Level1, specify how the identifiedlocationrepresentsthe higherof the two points describedin the NEI [NuclearEnergyInstitute]12-02guidancefor this level.

a) No othermeansof removing waterfromthe SFPexistabovethe skimmers.
Therefore, the identifiedlocationis the highestpointof the two optionsdescribedin the NEI 12-02guidancefor Level1 and is the levelthat is adequateto support operation of the normalfuelpoolcoolingsystem.

NEI 12-02,Section2.3.2statesthat"Level2 represents the range of waterlevelwhereany necessary operationsin the vicinityof the spentfuelpool can be completed withoutsignificantdoseconsequences fromdirectgamma radiationfromthe storedspentfuel." Level2 is associated withdoseratesfromthe fuel;therefore,it is notadjustedbasedon varieddoseratesfromotheritemsin the pool.

INSTRUMENTATION DESIGNFEATURES Arranqement The OIPstates,in part,that:
The planneddesignof this systemwill consist of two measurement channels,one primaryand one backup. Eachchannelwill consistof a levelsensornoh electronicsunit and an indicator.The primaryand backupinstrumentchannelsensorswill be protectedagainstmissiles that may resultfrom damageto the structureover the SFP. The sensors will be mountedat the western end of the fuel pool (the fuel preparation and storagepool),but as close to the adjacentcornersas possibleto minimizethe possibilityof a singleeventor missiledamagingboth channels. The sensor arrangementhas been proposedin a manner limitingany interferencewith existingequipmentin or aroundthe SFP.
This planneddesign is conservativeand is in compliancewith Order EA-12-051 however,it does representa minor deviationfrom the NEI Guidance.The NEIGuidancerecommendspuftinginstrumentation in opposite(diagonal)ends of the spentfuel pool. Due to the limited availablelocations(causedby interference)for installation,the instrurnentationcannot be installedon opposite(diagonal)ends of the pool. This planneddesignwill also not pose any potentialhazardto
