First Round Questions Enclosed are first round questions relcting to nuclear design of the Grcem cod Energy Center, Units 2 & 3.

Due to the extremely tight tita schedule (less than 3 ticeks bett/cen the crrival of Am:nd::nt 4 and thercqucstedcompletiondate),thereviewhasnotbeendoneingreat depth. There 1:111 be core questions as the review continues.

1.

Provide the burnable poison concentrations of the initial loading.

I g

2.

Provide details of t.he axial power distribution for a period of about one week with daily load swings of 100% to 50% and return i

to 100% power.

3.

The values given in Tables 4.3-3 and 4.3-4 for power peaks and i

Doppler coefficients are exactly the same values given for the l

15 x 15 core.

Here these values recalculated?

If so, how?

If j

r.at, why not?

i 4.

Since the other coefficients,particularly the moderator coefficient, did not change when the change from the 15 x 15 to the 17 x 17 design was made, explain why the uniform void coefficient (Table 4.3-8) changed so much (a factor of nearly 10 in one case), ',

5.

Table 4.3 the BOL boron levels given for 70*F K 99 all

=

CRA in and 70*F, Keff=.99onestuckCRAarenotco8Nstent.

Provide the correct values 6.

Table 4.3-12 lists the exact values of moderator coefficient as were given for the 15 x 15 design.

Nowever, the values given for the stability index are quite different.

Describe, in detail, the methods used to calculate the stability index.

I 7.

Figure 4.3 This figure is given in terms of percent of total Pu.

Explain what is meant by total Pu.

8.

Figure 4.3 The text gives a value of s;ff =.00691 at BOL.

If Figure 4.3-4 is to show 8 versus care burnup, it should show ff Seff as a function of bur 8up early in life.

9.

Figure 4.3 The value on this curve for 100% power does not agree with the value given in Table 4.3-5.

Explain the difference.

10.

Values in 4.3-27 do not agree with values given in Table 4.3-11.

Explain the difference.

11.

Does Figure 4.3-29 give rod worth versus rod index for Greenwood?

Why is there no difference between it ar.d corresponding curve for j

the 15 x 15 design which had a different rod bank. structure?
