ENCLOSURE RE VEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORhQTION KP-I SPENT FUEL STORAGE POOL I.

Provide an analysis of the accident which would occur if a new spent fuel'torage rack were dropped onto existing storage racks containing spent fuel bundles during the proposed installation of new fuel racks in the spent fuel storage pool.

Describe the precautions (procedural and/or mechanical) which would prevent the occurrence of such an accident.

2.

Provide a description of the seismic design and capability to withstand seismic events for the spent fuel pool cooling system and components.

Include the related systems which lead to the ultimate heat sink.

3.

Provide an analysis of the potential for a single failure to reduce or invalidate the effectiveness of the spent fuel cooling system.

Include related systems.

4.

Provide analyses which show that the total heat load of the spent fuel can be dissipated by the pool cooling system for (1) design conditions, and (2) loss of one cooling train.

Assume that all fuel storage spaces are occupied and show that a conservative assumption of fuel heat load is, used in the calculations.

S.

Provide an analysis of the loss of all normal spent fuel pool cooling with the pool fully loaded with spent fuel.

Sho>> that a conservative assumption of fuel heat load is used in the calculations.

List alternate means of cooling, state the times needed to activate the alternate cooling systems, describe their heat removal capability, and show that the alternate cooling systems would adequately cool the spent fuel.
