Dear Sir:

The re-analysis of the most limiting LOCA break size identified in Reference (2) assuming T (560 F) for the coolant temperature in the upperheadhasbeencompIOked. The results of this re-analysis are thus being transmitted to you in accordance with the schedule put forth in Reference (3).

The peak clad temperature (PCT) for Exxon fuel at 10.15 kw/ft and 180 Effective-Full-Power-Days (EFFD) burnup was calculated to be 1987.5 F.

This number compares conservatively to the previmusly calculated PCT value of 2019. F for the Exxon fuel at this bt.rnup and 10.5 kw/ft.

In s:rmary, the above results confirm the earlier info _mation transmitted to you in Reference (4) and justifies the.85 kw/ft reduction in the limiting LHGR for Exxon fuel for Yankee Rowe Core XII.

Any further questions regarding this matter please contact our Mr. William J. Szymczak at our Engineering Office, 20 Turnpike Road, Westborough, Massachusetts, 01581, (617) 366-9011, Extension 2844.

Very truly yours, bb'dO YAIEEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY l
