Dear Mr. Saverot:
SUBJECT:
Docket 71-9297, Amendment Application - Certificate of Compliance No.
USA/9297/AF-96 for Model No. TRAVELLER An application was submitted to supplement the Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
No.USA/9297/AF-96 for the package Model No. TRAVELLER as our reference LCPT-10-33 dated November 19, 2010. The NRC has reviewed the application and provided requests for additional information (RAI) on January, 25, 2011. The applicant agreed to provide responses to RAI by March 15, 2011. Review of the responses and issue of a revised CoC may take an additional 30 to 60 days.
The applicant had requested a revision to the CoC shown by underlined text as follows:
5.(b)(1)(i) Fuel Assembly -Parameters for 16x16 Fuel Assemblies, Fuel Assembly Type ATOM Change Nominal Guide Tube Wall Thickness from 0.057 cm (0.023 in) to 0.070 cm (0.028 in)
Change Nominal Guide Tube Outer Diameter from 1.354 cm (0.533 in) to 1.380 cm (0.543 in)
Change Nominal Pellet Diameter from 0.914 cm (0.360 in) to 0.911 cm (0.359 in)
As there are no RAI for the requested change to condition 5.(b)(1)(i), the applicant requests that the NRC issue a letter approving use of the current CoC for transport of 16X16 ATOM fuel with deviations from design dimensions as noted in the subject application. This interim approval should be effective March 1, 2011 through May 31, 2011, to permit scheduled shipments of 16X16 ATOM fuel assemblies from Vasteras, Sweden, for delivery to nuclear power plants in Germany pending revision of the CoC.
Sincerely,
- Electronically approved Peter J. Vescovi WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY, LLC Nuclear Fuel Supply Chain Management 5801 Bluff Road Columbia, SC 29209, USA
