SUBJECT:

DPV CONCERNING CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES AT ZION l'

On August 10, I sent you a note concerning the subject DPV with an attached memorandum from Norm Lauben. Recently, revised, and higher linear heat generation rates were obtained from Zion for pins with burnups greater than 40,000 MWD /MTU. As a result of this new information, Nom Lauben has performed a revised analysis which is given in the attached memorandum.

My review of the new analysis shows that the conclusions given in the previous note remains valid. This is, rupture of high burnup fuel pins during the blowdown trar.sient is not credible for existing fuel designs.
