RE UEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING RE VEST FOR A LICENSE AMENDMENT RELATED TO A PROPOSED SPENT FUEL STORAGE POOL MODIFICATION R.
E.
GINNA NUCLEAR POWER PLANT As a result of recent information, the NRC staff have found that the use of remote tools and spalling during spent fuel pool modifications may be an ALARA consideration during spent fuel modifications.
Therefore, we request the following information in order for us to complete the review.
1.
Discuss the remote tools which would be used during dry and wet operation during the spent fuel modification.
2.
NRC experiences have shown that when the storage racks are
- added, the radioactivity concentrations in the spent fuel pool may be expected to increase due to crud deposits spalling from spent fuel assemblies which are shuffled.
This crud (spalling) has a loose fluffy layer that falls off the fuel assemblies to the floor of the fuel pools and canals.
This additional crud material has caused the activity of Mn-54 and Co-60 to exceed the values in the TS for spent fuel pool activities.
Provide a
detailed explanation of the ALARA considerations that will be used to combat spalling dur,ing spent fuel rerack.
