l M0flTHLY STATUS REPORT REFUELIflG If1FORMATI0fl REQUEST

1. flame of Facility: Crystal River Unit 3

2. Scheduled date of next refueling shutdown: Ap ril , 1979.

3. Scheduled date for restart following refueling: June, 1979.

4. Will refueling or resumption of operation thereafter' require a technical specification change or other license amendment? Yes.

In general, changes to the CR #3 technical specifications will include:

a. Moderator Temperature Coefficient (3.1.1.3)

b. Control Rod Insertion Limits (3.1.3.6)

c. Control Rod Group Assignments (3.1.3.7)

d. Axial Imbalance Limits (3.2.1)

e. Refueling Boron Concentration (3.9.1)

These specifications will be reviewed and changed as necessary based on the reactivity of the second cycle as compared to that of the first cycle.

5. Scheduled date(s) for submitting proposed licensing action and supporting information: February, 1979.

6. Important licensing considerations associated with refueling, e.g. ,

new or different fuel design or supplier, unreviewed design or perfor-mance analysis methods, significant changes in fuel design, or new opera-ting procedures.

Florida Power Corporation is presently discussing with the flRC staff our intent to request that the power level of CR #3 be raised from the present level of 2452 MW (t) to the ultimate core power level of 2544 MW (t) as described in the CR #3 FSAR. FPC submitted on February 28, 1979 our reload report justifying Cycle 2 operation of CR#3 at 2544 MW (t).

7. The number of fuel assemblies (a) in the core and (b) in the spent fuel storage pool.

a) 177 assemblies -

b) 4 assemblies

8. The present licensed spent fuel pool storage capacity and the size of any increase in licensed storage capacity that has been requested or is planned, ia number of fuel assemblies.

a. Present storage capacity - pool A - 120 plus 8 failed fuel assemblies Pool B - 120 plus 8 failed fuel assemblies

• n

8. (Continued)

b. Filed request on January 9, 1978 with NRC concerning expansion of Pool A from 120 to 544 assemblies plus 6 failed fuel assemblies and exoansion of Pool B from 120 to 609 assem-blies. Expansion of Pool A is to occur af ter the refuelino in April, 1979. The Pool B expansion will occur at a later refueling outage (approximately 1986).

Additional detailed design information co ..erning our fuel pool expansion was submitted to the Commission on March 3, March 22, 1978 and January 18, 1979.

9. The projected date of the last refueling that can be discharged to the spent fuel assuming the present licensed capacity. 1981-1982.
