Dear Hr. Conway:
June 14, 1993
SUBJECT:
APPROVAL OF RELOAD ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY REPORT PALO VERDE NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION (TAC NOS.
- H85153, H85154, AND M85155) 4 We have completed our review of the Arizona Public Service Company (APS) submittal of April 6, 1993, which transmitted the Palo Verde Reload Methodology Report.
This report describes the program undertaken by APS to develop the capability to perform reactor core reload analyses.
Our review consisted of an initial round of questions and an audit which was conducted in your offices from Hay 10 through May 12, 1993.
Based on this review and the fact that APS has successfully participated in the CE Reload Technology Transfer
- Program, including independent reload core design and verification calculations, we conclude that the APS staff has the capability to use the CE codes as discussed in the report for reload analyses of CE-fueled Palo Verde cores.
The topical report "Reload Analysis Methodology for the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station," Revision 00-P, describes the reload design process and the scope of the analyses which may be performed by
- APS, and is acceptable for referencing in Palo Verde license applications.
Our Safety Evaluation is enclosed for your information.
Sincerely, Original signed by Charles H. Trammell, Sr. Project Manager Project Directorate V
