Gentlemen:
E 22:
On August 30, 1973, we met with your representative and Babcock & Wilcox staff nerbers to discuss your proposed special loading procedures for
~
those portions of your initial fuel load for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 which contain resintered pellets. At that meeting, we indicated the conceptual acceptability of your proposal but stated that we would need additional information to conclude our evaluation of this matter.
The additional information we require is listed in the enclosure to this
~
Ictter. In order to conclude our review in an orderly fashion with consideration of the schedules of our other work and your proposed fuel load schedule, we require your response to these requests by October 23, 1973.
Sincerely,
'l Original Si.cw! by

REQUEST FOR ADUITIONAL INFORMATION 1.
Describe the dimensional changes produced in the fuel pellets which were resintered including:
(a) Describe the sampling method, (b) describe the method of data reduction including statistical analysis techniques.
(c) provide the dimensional data for the resintered pellets.
2.
Provide the method and bases of your classification of pellets, rods and fuel assemblies with respect to limiting heat generation rate.-
Include consideration of fuel melting and LOCA limit at the minitmim.
3.
Provide the power distribution data illustrating the loadings which can accomodate lower rated fuel assemblies for three fuel cycles.
Discuss the effects of reduced burn-up on fuel assemblies which are successively loaded into lower flux regions of the core.
