It is our understanding trat the analysis presented in the FSAR ro ains valid for the Conanche Peak reactor, Please coraent.
232,11 The implication in the section (4,3.3.1) referred to in (R232,2) the response to question 232.2 is that the less negative Coppler coeffic'ent at end of life is due to the fact that the coefficient is defined in terms of an effective fuel temperature and that the temperature profile across the f7el rod changes sufficiently with burnup to cause this behavior, Please confirm and cresent a qualitative disc;ssion of the effect on the Coppler coefficient of plutonium buildup, fission product buildup, and other burnup dependent changes that a ffect the Doppler coefficient, a
