UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION 0
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 Mr. Michael S. Tuckman Executive Vice President Duke Energy Corporation 526 South Church St Charlotte, NC 28201 -1006
SUBJECT:
CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 RE: MIXED OXIDE LEAD FUEL ASSEMBLIES (TAC NOS. MB7863, AND MB7864)
Dear Mr. Tuckman:
By letter dated February 27, 2003, you submitted applications for amendment to the operating licenses for Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2. The proposed amendments would revise the Technical Specifications to allow the use of four mixed oxide fuel assemblies at the Catawba station. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff has reviewed the information provided and has determined that additional information is required as identified in the Enclosure.
We discussed these questions with your staff on October, 2003. Your staff indicated that a response to these issues could be provided by
, 2003. Please contact me at (301) 415-1493, if you have any other questions on these issues.
Sincerely, Robert E. Martin, Senior Project Manager, Section 1 Project Directorate II Division of Licensing Project Management Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Docket Nos. 50-413, and 50-414
Enclosure:
Request for Additional Information cc w/encl: See next page
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON APPLICATION FOR MOX LEAD TEST ASSEMBLIES DUKE POWER COMPANY CATAWBA NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-413 AND 50-414 Materials Engineerina Section 3.6.1 of Attachment 3 to the licensee's letter dated February 27, 2003, indicates that the fast flux impacting the reactor vessel will be virtually identical to that for a reactor core consisting entirely of low enriched uranium (LEU) fuel. The licensee states that the Reactor Vessel Integrity Program will manage the reduction in fracture toughness of the reactor vessel beltline region so that the function of the vessel is maintained. The licensee states that the existing pressure-temperature curves in the Catawba Technical Specifications will remain valid with the use of four MOX lead test assemblies.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff requests that the licensee identify the capsules, dosimetry and projected neutron fluence for the capsules that will withdrawn during the period of time that the MOX fuel will be utilized in order that the NRC staff may evaluate whether the Reactor Vessel Integrity Program will adequately manage reduction in fracture toughness,. The test results from the reactor vessel material samples should be compared to the results predicted using Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.99, Revision 2, "Radiation Embrittlement of Reactor Vessel Materials," and dosimetry should be evaluated in accordance with RG 1.190, "Calculational and Dosimetry Methods for Determining Pressure Vessel Neutron Fluence."
