TESTIMONY OF EDWARD LANTZ Q.
By whom are you employed?
A.
I am employed by the Division of Operating Reactors, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Q.
Would you describe your professional qualifications?
A.
My professional qualifications were briefly described at Tr. 4434-35. A more complete description of my professional qualifications is attached to this testimony.
Q.
What is the scope of your testimony in this proceeding?
A.
This testimony addresses questions (Tr. 4027; 4432-47) concerning whether fuel stored in t he McGuire Unit 1 spent fuel pool would remain subcritical if a 25-ton truck cask fell onto spent fuel stored in the McGuire Unit 1 pool while being transferred to the McGuire cask unloading pit.
Q.
What conclusions did you reach with respect to criticality assuming a cask drop accident?
A.
My attached analysis shows that the spent fuel in the McGuire spent fuel pool will remain subcritical for the postulated situation of a 25-ton spent fuel cask falling into the McGuire Unit I spent fuel pool containing Oconee spent fuel, McGuire spent fuel, and McGuire fresh fuel, if at least 2000 ppm of 8004160 1 2-7

' boron concentration is maintained in the spent fuel pool water during the spent fuel cask transfer operation. My analysis was based on an enrichment value of I
3.1 percent uranium - 235 by weight.
