Subsection 6.1.2 - Levels of Storage Maine Yankee takes exception to two specific requirements associated with fuel storage (classified level A).
Alternative Maine Yankee shall meet the requirements of level A storage for new fuel with the exception of special air filtering; and termperature and humidity controls.
Justification The existing storage conditions at Maine Yankee plants are consistent w ah the protection provided to the fuel while in storage at the manufacturer (vendor) and/or while in transit to the plant site and are judged to provide adequate protection to the fuel assemoly structure which is of highly corrosion resistant materials. We believe that the above listed requirements are intended for application at the manufacturing facility (vendor) where the uranium pellets may be exposed to the atmosphere ana not in its fully encapsulated, and therefore, fully protected form in a completed fuel assembly.
