20555 Attn:
T.
E. Murley July 26, 1991
Dear Dr. Murley:
This letter and it's attachments constitute an application for amendment of the license conditions and technical specifications (T/Ss) for the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant Units 1
and 2.
Specifically, the changes proposed in this letter are intended to accomplish an expansion of the spent fuel pool storage capacity from 2050 assemblies to 3613 assemblies.
This willbe accomplished by replacing the existing racks with higher storage density racks, and by placing racks in areas of the pool where currently no racks exist.
With the present refueling outage
- schedule, we will lose storage space for a full core off-load (193 assemblies) in 1995.
This date could be as early as 1994 depending upon capacity factors achieved by the units'peration, and the necessity to store miscellaneous
- items, such as old thimble tubes, in storage cells in the spent fuel pool.
In order to allow continued operation of the units, we have determined that reracking the spent fuel pool is the best option available.
We currently plan to perform the reracking beginning in January 1993.
This falls prior to the Unit 2 and Unit 1 refueling outages currently scheduled for August 1993 and January
- 1994, respectively.
In order that this work can be properly planned and executed on a prudent
- schedule, we request your approval of these changes by January 31, 1992.
The changes 9i0805000'6 '9i0726: 7; PDR
=ADOCK 050003i5, P
Dr. T.
E. Murley AEP:NRC:1146 proposed in this letter,
- however, are such that implementation is not possible until the physical reracking occurs.
We, therefore, request that the proposed T/S changes become applicable upon initiation of the reracking of the spent fuel pool.
Attachment 1
provides a
detailed description of the proposed
- changes, the justification for the
- changes, and our proposed determination of no significant hazards consideration performed pursuant to 10 CFR 50.92.
Attachment 2 contains the existing T/S pages marked to reflect the proposed changes.
Attachment 3
contains the proposed T/S pages.
Attachment 4 contains a non-proprietary licensing report for the reracking project prepared by our contractor, Holtec International.
We believe
- that, the proposed changes will not result in a
significant change in the types of effluents or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite.
This is based on evaluations provided in the Holtec International (Holtec) report.
This conclusion is also supported by NUREG
- 0575, entitled "Final Generic Environmental Impact Statement on Handling and Storage of Spent Light Water Power Reactor Fuel."
In NUREG 0575 the NRC concluded that:
The storage of spent fuel in water pools is a well established technology, and under the static conditions of storage represents a low environmental impact and low potential risk to the health and safety of the public.
The Holtec report includes an estimate of the occupational exposure expected during the reracking.
This exposure is estimated to be in the range of 6 to 12 rem.
As discussed in the Holtec report, occupational exposure following the reracking is not expected to significantly increase.
The proposed changes have been reviewed by the Plant Nuclear Safety Review Committee and will be reviewed by the Nuclear Safety and Design Review Committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
In compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.91(b)(1),
copies of this letter and its attachments have been transmitted to Mr. J.
R. Padgett of the Michigan Public Service Commission and to the Michigan Department of Public Health.
