Design Features 4.0 4.0 DESIGN FEATURES 4.1 Site Location The Unit 1 Reactor Building is located on the site at Millstone Point in Waterford, Connecticut. The nearest site boundary on land is 2063 feet northeast of the reactor building (1627 feet northeast of I the elevated stack), which is the minimum distance to the boundary of the exclusion area as described in 10 CFR 100.3. No part of the I site that is closer to the reactor building than 2063 feet shall be sold or leased except to Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. or its corporate affiliates for use in conjunction with normal utility operations.
4.2 Fuel Storage 4.2.1 The new fuel storage facility shall be such that the Keff dry is less than 0.90 and flooded is less than 0.95.
4.2.2 The Keff of the spent fuel storage pool shall be less than or equal to 0.90. This Keff value is satisfied with fuel assemblies having a maximum k-infinity of 1.24 in the normal reactor configuration at cold conditions, and an average U-235 enrichment of 3.8 weight percent or less.
4.2.3 The number of fuel assemblies stored in the spent fuel storage pool shall not exceed 3229 bundles.
