REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3/4.9.12 FUEL POOL VENTILATION SYSTEM-FUEL STORAGE The limitations on the fuel handling building ventilation system ensures that all radioactive material released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge to the atmosphere.

The OPERABILITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assump-tions of the accident analyses.

3/4.9.13 SPENT FUEL CASK CRANE The maximum load which may be handled by the spent fuel cask crane is limited to a loaded single element cask which is equivalent to approxi-mately 25 tons.

This restriction is provided to ensure the structural integrity of the spent fuel pool in the event of a dropped cask accident.

Structural damage caused by dropping a load in exceed of a loaded single element cask could cause leakage from the spent fuel pool in excess.of the maximum makeup capability.

3/4.9.14 DECAY TIME -

STORAGE POOL The minimum requirements for decay of the irradiated fuel assemblies in the entire spent fuel storage pool prior to movement of the spent fuel cask into the fuel cask compartment insure that sufficient time has elapsed to allow radioactive decay of the fission products.

The decay time of 1180 hours0.0137 days <br />0.328 hours <br />0.00195 weeks <br />4.4899e-4 months <br /> is based upon one-third of a core placed in the spent fuel pool each year during refueling until the pool is filled.

The decay time of 1490 hours0.0172 days <br />0.414 hours <br />0.00246 weeks <br />5.66945e-4 months <br /> is based upon one-third of a core being placed in the spent fuel pool each year during refueling following which an entire core is placed in the pool to fill it.

The cask drop analysis assumes that all of the irradiated fuel in the filled pool (7 2/3 cores) is ruptured and follows Regulatory Guide 1.25 methodology, except that a Radial Peaking Factor of 1.0 is applied to all irradiated assemblies.

DESIGN FEATURES CONTROL ELEMENT ASS EMBLI ES 5.3.2 The reactor core shall contain 73 full length and no part length control element assemblies.

The control element assemblies shall be designed and maintained in accordance with the original design provisions contained in Section

4. 2.3.2 of the FSAR with allowance for normal degradation pursuant to the applicable Surveillance Requirements.
5. 4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM DESIGN PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE 5.4.1 The reactor coolant system is designed and shall be maintained:

In accordance with the code requirements specified in Section 5.2 of the FSAR with allowance for normal degradation pursuant to the applicable Surveillance Requirements, b.

C.

For a pressure of 2485 psig, and For a temperature of 650'F, except for the pressurizer which is 700'F.

VOLUME 5.4.2 The total water and steam volume of the reactor coolant system is 11,100

+ 180 cubic feet at a nominal T

of 567'F.

5.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS 5.5.1 The emergency core cooling systems are designed and shall be main-tained in accordance with the original design provisions contained in Section 6.3 of the FSAR with allowance for normal degradation pursuant to the applicable Surveillance Requirements.

5. 6 FUEL STORAGE CRITICALITY 5.6.l.a The spent fuel storage racks are designed and shall be maintained with:

l.

A k ff equivalent to less than or equal to 0.95 when flooded witk unborated water, which includes a conservative allowance of 0.0065 ak for uncertainties.

DESIGN FEATURES CRITICALITY (Conti nued 2.

A nominal 10.12 inches center to center distance between fuel assemblies in Region 1 of the storage racks and a nominal 8.86 inches center to center distance between fuel assemblies in Region 2 of the storage racks.

3.

A boron concentration greater than or equal to 1720 ppm.

4.

Neutron absorber (boraflex) installed between spent fuel assemblies in the storage racks in Region 1 and Region 2.

b.

Region 1 of the spent fuel storage racks can be used to store fuel which has a 'U-235 enrichment less than or equal to 4.5 weight per cent.

Region 2

can be used to store fuel which has achieved sufficient burnup such that storage in Region 1 is not required.

The initial enrichment vs.

burnup requirements of Figure 5.6-1 shall be met prior to storage of fuel assemblies in Region 2.

Freshly discharged fuel assemblies may be moved temporarily into Region 2 for purposes of fuel assembly inspection and/or repair, provided that the configuration, is maintained in a checkerboard pattern (i.e., fuel assemblies and empty locations aligned diagonally).

Following such inspection/repair activities, all such fuel assemblies shall be removed from Region 2 and the requirements of Figure 5.6-1 shall be met for fuel storage.

c.

The new fuel storage racks are designed for dry storage of unirradiated fuel assemblies having a U-235 enrichment less than or equal, to 4.0 weight percent, while maintaining a

k ff of less than or equal to 0.98 under the most reactive condition.

DRAINAGE 5.6.2 The fuel pool is designed and shall be maintained to prevent inadvertent draining of the pool below elevation 56 feet.

CAPACITY 5.6.3 The spent fuel pool is designed and shall be maintained with a storage capacity limited to no more than 1706 fuel assemblies.

5. 7 SE ISHI C CLASSIFICATION 5.7.1 Those structures, systems and components identified as seismic Class I

in Section 3.2.1 of the FSAR shall be designed and maintained to the original design provisions contained in Section 3.7 of the FSAR with allowance for normal degradation pursuant to the applicable Surveillance Requirement.
