Dear Mr. Tucker:
SUBJECT:
RELOAD DESIGN METHODOLOGY II REPORT Re:
Oconee Nuclear Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 By letter dated April 3, 1985 you requested review of the Technical Report DPC-NE-1002, "Oconee Nuclear Station Reload Design Methodology II."
We have reviewed the updated Oconee reload design methodology and the additional information submitted on June 12, 1985. The revised methodology is based on the CASMO computer code (instead of the EPRI-CELL/Color Set PDQ) but it is intended an an alternative rather than a replacement for the original methodology as described in NFS-1001A. Also, this report incorporates the analysis for minor changes in the fuel design, fuel mechanical performance and thermal-hydraulic design which resulted from the introduction of a new fuel assembly, the Mark B5-Z. The CASMO reload design methodology has been previously approved by us for the MCGuire and Catawba plants. The first use of this methodology will be for the Oconee Unit 1 Cycle 10 reload projected for February-March 1986.
We found the revised methodology to be an acceptable means for the calculation of the Oconee Station licensing submittals. The results of our review are contained in the enclosed Safety Evaluation.
Sincerely, John F. Stolz, Chief Operating Reactors Branch #4 Division of Licensing
