Docket Ho. 50-220 Niagara 1fohawk Poorer Corporation ATTN:
Hr. Gerald K. Rhode Vice President Engineering 300 Erie Boulevard Uest
- Syracuse, Hew York 13202 Gentlemen:
To respond to'n order from the Atomic Safety Licensing Appeal Board relating to the River Bend Station, Units 1 and 2 licensing proceeding, we must prepare testimony which requires certain information concerning fuel usage "in operating reactors.
Time is of great essence on this prospect; therefore, the Operating Reactor Pro)ect Hanager has contacted you by telephone regarding our requirements.
Supplying the information is entirely voluntary and is not required under the Commission's rules and regulations; however, your cooperation in supplying the information ~rill be greatly appreciated.
The information we'eceive fron you will be combined with similar data from other operating nuclear power plants to provide an overview of fuel utilization in operating reactors.
The specific information that we need for each reload since the reactor startup is:
1.
Day, month and year of reactor shutdogn and restart.
2.
The average Uranium-235 enrichment in the reload.
3 ~ If any fraction of the reload was previously exposed,- what fraction was exposed, and what was the exposure in negatratt days per metric tonne of uranium (lHlD/kEU) and the quantity of uranium in metric tonnes (HT).
4 ~
5 ~
The predicted average exposure in 1GlD/?iTU at the time the fuel was loaded.
The estdnated average exposure in 16lD/IKU of the discharged fuel.
If less than 907. of predicted, explain rrhy.
The average Uranium-235 enrichment when discharged.
7.
The average Plutonium-239 enrichment when discharged.

ptas the fuel clad in stainless steel or Zircaloy2 9.
Did the reactor have sufficient reactivity left to operato at ful1 power when it was shut down for reloading2 10.
Uas the reactor shut down for other than reactivity lMitations that were oxpected to exist prior to the next rofueling2 If yes, why2 (See Ho. 5) ll.
Has an incore power nonitoring program used to calculate the discharged exposure2 If not, how were the mposures ascertained2 12.
The total energy produced=- by the react'or (Nle-days) during=the tine interval between reloading.
To prepare testinony as soon as practical, the Pro)ect lfanager has requested an early verbal response.
klo would prefer that tho information you give us bo confirmed in lrriting. If the use of this infornaton for the intonded purpose is restricted in any way, pleaso indicate the degree of restriction.
Than1: you for your cooperation in this raatter.
