PALISADES FUEL ANALYSIS lI A preliminary estimate has been obtained of the Palisades fuel assembly loads. These loads were obtained using plant specific Palisades fuel align-l ment plate, core support plate, aid core shroud motions obtained from the I

internals response analysis. These a tions vere employed with a standard CE 1h x 1h fuel assembly model. The results do not include the load reduction l

of about ten percent due to realistic treatment of the friction between the core barrel flange and reactor vessel support ledge.

l The preliminary results do not account for the differences between the CE 1h x 14 fuel assembly model and the Palisades fuel; which is supplied by Exxon. Most importantly:

l The Palisades fuel spacer grid stiffness is less than that of the CE I

~

1h x 14 fuel. It is expected that this difference vill decrease the magnitude of the spacer grid loads.

The spacing between Palisades fuel assemblies is greater than the spacing between fuel assemblies in the standard CE model. The effect of this difference has not yet been defined.

The crush properties of the Palisades fuel are different that those of the CE fuel.

It is expected that the allovable spacer grid load will be less than for CE fuel, i.e., about 2000 pounds for Palisades.

In addition, the reduced area properties of crushed Palisades grids have yet to be defined.

The specific steps which vill be taken to finalize results for Palisades fuel are as follows:

The standard CE lh x 1h fuel assembly model vill be revised to incorporate Palisades fuel assembly spacing. Spacer grid loads vill be obtained for

'this model, based on the Palisades fuel alignment plate, core plate and core shroud motions. The loads obtained from this analysis should be conservatively high, because they do not account for the reduced stiffness of the Palisades fuel.

Spacer grid impact tests vill be performed to determine the allovable grid impact loads. These tests vill also define the reduced area proper-ties of crushed grids, i.e., the overall grid reduction in area and the maximum localized reduction in area.

It is expected that these results vill demonstrate adequacy of the Palisades l

fuel spacer grids, i.e., show that:

PALISADES FUL'L ANALYSIS I

A preliminary estimate has been obtained of the tulisades fuel assembly loads. These loads were obtained using plant specific Palisades fuel align-l ment plate, core support plate, and core shroud motions obtained from the I

The preliminary results do not account for the differences between the CE lh x'lb fuel assembly model and the Palisades fuel; which is supplied by Exxon. Most importantly:
