-SUPPLEMENTARY SECOND ROUND QUESTION FROM REACTOR PHYSICS SECTION - MIDLAND

232.5-The information presented in Revision-14'to the FSAR is

' insufficient to pennit a review of the criticality of the proposed high density fuel storage system. The following information will be required in order to complete the review:

l.

A description of the racks including, in particular, those features affecting their reactivity.

2.

A description of..the assumptions made in the analysis, including those regarding the reactivity of the fuel-to be stored, credit taken for absorbers in the fuel and racks, temperature of water in the pool, and f

placement of assemblies in racks.

3:

A description of'the analytical models used, including the results of code verifications and calcula',ional 4

l biases and uncertainties.

4.

A discussion of the effect on the reactivity of uncertain-ties in material properties and geometry of the racks and. fuel placement in the racks.

5.

A discussion of the effect of abnormal fuel distributions on the reactivity of the racks - for example a dropped assembly lying across the racks, an assembly lowered into a -non-designed location (if-possible), and other abnonnal configurations.

6. 1The results of the criticality analysis should be pre-sented for the nominal rack design and fuel placement, the various calculational and mechanical uncertainties should be given along with the total-uncertainty.
