REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1. 2. AND 3 LICENSE RENEWAL APPLICATION, EXHIBIT A OLRP-1001 Section No.
5.7.2 Spent Fuel Rack Boraflex 5.7.2-1 For license renewal, Duke has indicated that the Boraflex Monitoring Program will continue for the period of extended operation. In response to NRC Generic Letter 96-04 on Boraflex degradation, and in Section 5.7.2 of the license renewal application, Duke indicated that the Oconee spent fuel storage racks are to be reanalyzed taking reduced or no credit for Boraflex. Since future Boraflex verification activities at Oconee will depend upon the extent to which Boraflex is relied upon in this reanalysis, describe the methodology for performing this reanalysis, the acceptance criteria to be applied, the schedule for the reanalysis, and discuss specific actions to be taken if the reanalysis shows that credit must be taken for Boraflex.
