SUMMARY
OF MEETING HELD ON FEBRUARY 24, 2004, TO DISCUSS INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANYS PLANS TO TRANSITION TO FRAMATOME ANP FUEL On February 24, 2004, representatives of Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M or the licensee) and Framatome ANP met with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff to present its planned transition to Framatome ANP designed fuel at the Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant.
I&M started the meeting with an introduction and a summary of a previous meeting on the same topic which was held in November 2003. (Meeting Summary ADAMS Accession No. ML0427305880). I&M then proceeded to discuss the scope of the submittal it intends to make for the fuel transition and the schedule for the submittal. The licensee indicated that the submittal will minimize technical specification (TS) changes, will not affect safety limits, and will be based on NRC-approved methods. The licensee also indicated that it will ensure that past experience is utilized in defining the scope of the submittal. The licensee planned to make the submittal in two amendment requests. The first amendment request was planned for March 2004 and the second was planned for June 2004. The first amendment request was to address the fuel assembly design TS to allow the use of M5 cladding, criticality analyses for spent fuel pool and new fuel vault, and the new fuel vault TS. The second amendment request was to address the allowable power level TS, the core operating limits report, realistic large break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) analyses, and representative non-LOCA transient analyses. The licensee continued by describing how it planned to disposition events to identify and address impacts of changes on safety-related analyses within the plants licensing bases.
The NRC staff discussed challenges it foresaw with the proposed schedule. Specifically, the NRC staff indicated that the submittal of analyses in June 2004, would present challenges in completing the reviews in time to support the licensees planned implementation following the March 2005 outage. The NRC staff indicated that while the schedule is not impossible, the licensee should have a contingency plan in case the NRC staff can not complete the review in time to support implementation following the March 2005 outage. The NRC staff also emphasized the importance of getting quality submittals from the license. The licensee indicated that it will provide quality submittals, simplify the submittal to the extent possible, and keep the number of changes to a minimum.
No regulatory commitments or decisions were made by the NRC staff or the licensee during the meeting.
An attendance list is provided in Enclosure 1. The licensees presentation slides used during the meeting are provided in Enclosure 2.
