COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS ON TURKEY POINT ENRICHMENT INCREASE REQUEST CORE PERFORMANCE SRANCH 1.
Please indicate which organization performed the previously approved criticality calculations for the Turkey Point fuel storage racks and which is performing the current analysis.
If these two organizations are not the same, then we require that the organization performing the current analysis provide its own benchmarking resul ts against critical experiments.
2.
Although the criticality calculations for the unirradiated fuel in the new fuel storage racks correctly considered both low density and fully flooded (unborated) water conditions, the wording of proposed Technical Specification 5.4.2 is misleading.
The specification should clearly state that k ff must be less than or equal to 0.98 eff for optimum moderation (usually low density) conditions and less than or equal to 0;95 for fully flooded (unborafed) conditions.
