Dear Mr. Parker:
We have reviewed your February 22, 1982, letter concerning the spent fuel consolidation demonstration program you plan to undertake at the Oconee Nuclear Station. From the information you provided in your letter, and the information presented in our staff's January 27, 1982 meeting, we perceive no special technical or safety concerns related to this demonstration pro gram. This evaluation is based on our understanding that factors such as criticality, heat generation, seismic, structural, radiological and handling accidents have been evaluated for four fuel assemblies which have been stored in the spent fuel pool for five years, and that the demonstration program is limited to four such assemblies. As stated in your letter, full scale consolidation would be much more involved and would require prior NRC approval.
In order for Duke Power Company to proceed with this demonstration program, it is necessary for you to comply with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 50.59 which allows the holder of a license to conduct a test or experiment with out prior NRC approval provided it does not involve an unreviewed safety question or a change in Technical Specifications. If you determine that an unreviewed safety question or a change to a Technical Specification is involved, it will be necessary for you to seek and to receive prior NRC approval before undertaking the program or portions thereof for which prior NRC approval is required.
If you have any questions on this subject, please contact your NRC Project Manager.
