The 21 x 38 inch c/c array is the more reactive. Since it has been assumed infinite in the x-y plane, its calculated k-effective is higher than that of the combination of the two arrays. The separa-tion between the two arrays is greater than 38 inches so that no third type of array is created.

Therefore, values obtained for the infinite 38 x 21 inch c/c array may be conservatively used for the actual combination. For the maximum credible degree of interspersed moderation, k-effective is

  • 1ess than 0.4.

Similarly, all other arrays not isolated from the assembly storage array are also free draining and cannot accumulate low density moderator. Since they are also low enriched uranium

(_<,4 weight %) the same principle applies--the actual combination of arrays is less reactive than the infinite array of 38 x 21 inch c/c assemblies.

7.10.2 Sectica III, Part 7.10.1 discusses the nuclear safety of an infinite array of parallel ' fuel assemblies stored in 21 inch by 38 inch or 36 inch center-to-center spacing in a vertical con-I figuration.

Part 7.9 validates the nuclear safety of fuel as-sembly processing.

Huclear interaction between fuel assembly processing and assembly storage is limited to less than the in-teraction within the storage array alone due to geometric relation-ship. Nuclear interaction between assembly storage and assembly shipping container loading is limited to the interaction associ-ated with an array of damaged loaded shipping containers as described on Pages 196-200 of Section III of this part..Since a planar array of assemblies on 21 inch centers is subcritical for credible interspersed moderation conditions (Part 7.10.1)

(Part 7.10.1), the planar array in the assembly I94 MTE 5-06-80 REVISIM NO.

shown to be suberitical in combination when center-to-center distance is not less than 38 inches, and with major faces opposed, the situation resulting from consideration of an infinite storage array.

j Rotation of one planar array 90 degrees from the vertical to present its edge to the face of the opposing array, while main-taining the specified separative distances', significantly reduces interaction probabilities by presenting less " effective" surface area for interaction thus,.in effect, extending the effectiva separation distance. This demonstration accurately reflects conditions at the junction of the fuel assembly pro-cessing and storage area, and also at the junction of the assom-bly storage and shipping container loading area.

Under nonnal operating conditions the activities will be con-ducted in the absence of any significant moderation; under such conditions, fuel of 4 wt.% enrichment and less cannot be made critical.
