DESIGN FEATURES CRITICALITY (Continued)

2. A nominal 10.12 inches center to center distance between fuel assemblies in Region 1 of the spent fuel pool storage racks, a nominal 10.30 inches center to center distance between fuel assemblies in the Region 1 cask pit storage rack, and a nominal 8.86 inches center to center distance between fuel assemblies in Region 2 of the spent fuel pool storage racks.

3. A boron concentration greater than or equal to 1720 ppm.

4. Neutron absorber (boraflex) installed between spent fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool storage racks in Region 1 and Region 2. Neutron absorber (boral) installed between spent fuel assemblies in the Region 1 cask pit storage rack.

b. Region 1 of the spent fuel storage racks can be used to store fuel which has a U-235 enrichment less than or equal to 4.5 weight percent. Region 2 can be used to store fuel which has achieved sufficient burnup such that storage in Region 1 is not required. The initial enrichment vs. burnup requirements of Figure 5.6-1 shall be met prior to storage of fuel assemblies in Region 2. Freshly discharged fuel assemblies may be moved temporarily into Region 2 for purposes of fuel assembly inspection and/or repair, provided that the configuration is maintained in a checkerboard pattern (i.e., fuel assemblies and empty locations aligned diagonally). Following such inspection/repair activities, all such fuel assemblies shall be removed from Region 2 and the requirements of Figure 5.6-1 shall be met for fuel storage.

c. The new fuel storage racks are designed for dry storage of unirradiated fuel assemblies having a U-235 enrichment less than or equal to 4.5 weight percent, while maintaining a keff of less than or equal to 0.98 under the most reactive condition.

DRAINAGE 5.6.2 The fuel pool is designed and shall be maintained to prevent inadvertent draining of the pool below elevation 56 feet.

CAPACITY 5.6.3 The spent fuel pool storage racks are designed and shall be maintained with a storage capacity limited to no more than 1706 fuel assemblies and the cask pit storage rack is designed and shall be maintained with a storage capacity limited to no more than 143 fuel assemblies. The total Unit 1 spent fuel pool and cask pit storage capacity is limited to no more than 1849 assemblies.

5.7 SEISMIC CLASSIFICATION 5.7.1 Those structures, systems and components identified as seismic Class I in Section 3.2.1 of the FSAR shall be designed and maintained to the original design provisions contained in Section 3.7 of the FSAR with allowance for normal degradation pursuant to the applicable Surveillance Requirement.
