Atta chmen t to AEP: NRC: 0637H POST-IRRADIATION FUEL SURVEILLANCE PROG14Qf The first batch of 17 x 17 Exxon fuel being utilized in Unit f/2 of the D.
C.
Cook Nuclear Plant will be examined after its first cycle of operation.
The examination currently planned will utilize both binocular and a more detailed underwater television or periscope inspection.
The binocular inspection will be performed on'0% of the Exxon 17 x 17 fuel as that fuel is being transferred to the spent fuel pit.
Our experience using binoculars by individuals located on the o'perating deck has been good.
'Water clarity has been satisfactory and
- indeed, we did identify a tom grid strqp during an earlier refu'cling on Unit Pl using binoculars, An underwater television or periscope visual examination will be performed with either video recording and/or photography to document any unusual conditions.
This examination will be performed on each side of 4 Exxon 17 x 17 fuel assemblies from this first batch at the end of their first cycle of operation.
During subsequent refuelings we plan to visually inspect those fuel assemblies, from the first batch of Exxon 17 x 17 fue3, which are scheduled to be permanently discharged.
In our judgment, provided there are no indicat$ ons of fuel.
failure during operation, the above surveillance program is sufficient.
Should there be indications of fuel failure during operation or should the above surveillance program result in identifying any unusual finding, additional surveillance will be performed.
