This license applies to the Duane Arnold Energy Center, a boiling water reactor and associated. equipment (the facility), owned by the licensees and _j operated by IEL&P. The facility is located on the licensees' site near Palo in Linn County, Iowa. This site consists of approximately 500 acres adjacent to the Cedar River and is described ~in the " Final Safety Analysis Report" as. supplemented and amended - 1 (Supplements 1 through 14) and the Environmental .l Report as supplemented and amended (Supplements 1 through 5).

-DAEC-1 5.5 SPENT AND NEW FUEL STORAGE ] 1. The new fuel storage facility shall_be such that the effective neutron multiplication factor (kgg) of the fuel, dry is'less than 0.90 and flooded is less than 0.95.~ These k values are satisfied if the gy maximum infinite lattice multiplication factor (k.) of the individual fuel bundles is s 1.31. 2. The k of the fuel in the spent fuel storage pool shall be less than gg or equal to 0.95. This k value is satisfied if the maximum, exposure-dependent k, of tbre individual fuel bundles is s 1.31'and the e initial uniform average enrichment is s 4.6 wtt U-235. 3. Spent fuel shall only be stored in the spent fuel pool in a vertical-orientation in approved storage racks. 2 Bases l The basis for the k, limit is described in Reference 1 for the GE-designed new fuel storage racks. Compliance with this specification is demonstrated by comparing the beginning-of-life, uncontrolled k. values for the fuel type of interest to the 1.31 limit. For GE-supplied fuel, k, values can be found in l Reference 2. The k, values found in Reference 2 represent the maximum, exposure-dependent lattice reactivity and can be conservatively applied to the new fuel limit. Calculations have been performed (Reference 3) to determine the bounding reactivity limits for bundles of GE-designed fuel, when-stored in the spent fuel storage racks ofnan approved design. These analyses were performed conservatively assuming uniform average initial enrichments in a parametric evaluation for fuel with enrichments up to 4.6 wt% U-235 initially. The bounding limit of an infinite multiplication factor of 1.31 for fuel of 4.6 wt% enrichment (or less) was evaluated at the maximum k, over burnup and includes a conservative allowance for possible differences between the rack design calculations and the fuel vendor calculations.- References 1) General Electric Standard Application for Reactor Fuel, NEDE-240ll-P-A.* 2) General Electric Fuel Bundle Designs, NEDE-31152-P.* ] 3) Licensing Report for Spent Fuel Storage Capacity Expansion, Duane Arnold-- Energy Center, Holtec Report HI-92BB9. i f
