Dear Mr. Stewart:
December 14~993
SUBJECT:
SURRY, UNITS I AND 2, AND NORTH ANNA, UNITS I AND 2 - REMOVAL OF 45,000 MWD/MTU BATCH AVERAGE BURNUP RESTRICTION (TAC NOS. M87767, M87768, M87812, AND M87813)
By letter dated November 25, 1992, you requested relaxation the batch average burnup restriction of 45,000 MWD/MTU (megawatt days per metric ton of uranium), as presently specified in NRC letter dated April 9, 1984, for the Surry and North Anna Power Stations, and proposed, instead, that the fuel burnups at both stations be limited to levels consistent with the NRC Safety Evaluation Report on the Westinghouse Electric Corporation's Topical Report WCAP-10125, entitled "Extended Burnup Evaluation of Westinghouse Fuel."
We have reviewed your request and have concluded that it is appropriate to increase the batch average burnup restriction to 50,000 MWD/MTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of any fuel rod is no greater than 60 MWD/MTU pursuant to the limits specified in the Federal Register (53 FR 6040) dated February 29,* 1988.
Our safety evaluation is enclosed.
Implicit in our evaluation is that the fuel management scheme will continue to provide the limiting location of the fuel during subsequent cycles of operation.
