5.3 REACTOR CORE APPLICABILITY Applies to the reactor core.

OBJECTIVE core To define those design features which are essential in providing for safe reactor operations.

SPECIFICATION

a. Fuel Assemblies of a The reactor shall contain 121 fuel assemblies. Each assembly shall consist or slightly matrix of zircaloy clad fuel rods with an initial composition of natural fuel material. Limited substitutions of zirconium enriched uranium dioxide (U02) as alloy or stainless steel filler rods for fuel rods, in accordance with NRC-approved shall be applications of fuel rod configurations, may be used. Fuel assemblies with applicable NRC staff limited to those fuel designs that have been analyzed to comply with all fuel approved codes and methods and shown by tests or analyses that have not safety design bases. A limited number of lead-test-assemblies regions. Lead completed representative testing may be placed in non-limiting core approved by the NRC for use in pressurized test-assemblies shall be of designs be the materials approved as part of water reactors and their clad materials shall those designs.

b. Control Rod Assemblies The reactor core shall contain 29 control rod assemblies. The control material shall be silver indium cadmium.

Amendment No. 162 TS 5.3-1

5.4 FUEL STORAGE APPLICABILITY Applies to the capacity and storage arrays of new and spent fuel.

OBJECTIVE of criticality in fuel storage To define those aspects of fuel storage relating to prevention areas.

SPECIFICATION

a. Criticality maintained with the following:

1. The spent fuel storage racks are designed and shall be grams Uranium-235

a. Fuel assemblies having a maximum enrichment of 56.067 per axial centimeter includes an allowance for

b. keff < 0.95 if fully flooded with unborated water, which uncertainties be maintained with:

2. The new fuel storage racks are designed and shall grams Uranium-235

a. Fuel assemblies having a maximum enrichment of 56.067 per axial centimeter includes an allowance for

b. keff < 0.95 if fully flooded with unborated water, which uncertainties an allowance for

c. keft < 0.98 if moderated by aqueous foam, which includes uncertainties to match that used

3. The spent fuel pool is filled with borated water at a concentration during REFUELING canal in the reactor REFUELING cavity and REFUELING OPERATIONS or whenever there is fuel in the pool.

b. Capacity of 1205 assemblies and The spent fuel storage pool is designed with a storage capacity shall be limited to no more than 1205 fuel assemblies.

c. Canal Rack Storage the minimum required fuel Fuel assemblies stored in the canal racks shall meet enrichment as shown in assembly burnup as a function of nominal initial discharged prior to or during Figure TS 5.4-1. These assemblies shall also have been the 1984 REFUELING outage.
