5.2 REACTOR CORE 1 ~

The reactor core contains approximately 71 metric tons of uranium in the form slightly enriched uranium dioxide pellets.

The pellets are encapsulated in

'Zircaloy - 0 tubing to form fuel rods.

The reactor core is made up of 157 fuel assemblies.

Each fuel assembly contains 200 fuel rods.

2.

The average enrichment of the initial core is a nominal 2.50 weight percent of U-235.

Three fuel enrich'nents are used in the initial core.

The highest enrichment is a nominal 3.10 weight percent of U-235.

3.

Reload fuel willhe similar in design to the initial core.

5.

Burnable poisons are in the form of rod clusters which are located in vacant rod cluster control guide tubes, or integral to the fuel design and are used for reactivity and/or power distribution control.

There are 05 full-length RCC assemblies and 8 partial-length" RCC assemblies in the reactor core.

The full-length RC.

assemblies contain a 100 inch length of silver-indium-cadmium alloy clad with the stainless steel.

The partial-length>>

RCC assemblies contain a 36 inch length of silver-indium-cadmium alloy with the remainder of the stainless steel sheath filled with A1203.

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM 1.

The design of the Reactor Coolant System comolies with the code requirements.

2.

All piping, components and supporting structures of the Reactor Coolant System are designed to Class I requirements and have been designed to withstand:

a.

The design seismic ground acceleration, 0.05g acting in the horizontal and 0.033g acting in the vertical planes simultaneously, with stress maintained within code allowable working stresses.

b.

The maximum potential seismic ground acceleration, 0.15g, acting in the horizontal and 0.10g acting in the vertical directions simultaneously with no loss of function.

3.

The nominal liquid volume of the Reactor Coolant System, at rated operating conditions, is 9088 cubic feet.

>> Any r ference to oart-length rods no longer applies after the part-length rods are removed from the reactor.
