REPORT ON YA"KEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY
Dear Dr. Seaborg:
At its forty-ninth reeting on September 5 and 6,1963, the Advisory Committe on Reactor Safeguards considered Amendment F' 45 in which Yankee Atomic Electric Corgany requests an increase in maximum power level of Core III from the present limit of 540 to 600 F9(t) with the main coolant average temperature increased from 514 to 527'F.
The Committee had the benefit of referenced documents and discussion with representatives of Yankee Atomic Electric Corpany, Westinghouse Electric Corporation, and the AEC Regulatory Staff.
Review of the design of the turbine and secondary plant, recalculation of the DN3 ratios for 600 hk(t), and re-analysis of all ;ccidents which could be affected by the proposed power increase were reported.
Frequent mearurement of flux distribution to be made during Core III life when DNF, ratios are expected to be smallest, limitation of exit temperature of ine hottest channel, and installation of some new centrol rods with 1 c fnium absorber sections are proposed.
The Committee believes that the p:opesed operation does not present an undue hazard to the health and safety of the public.
Dr. T, J. Thompson did not participate in the review of this project.
Sincerely yours,
