CS460.1 The model that was useo to calculate the source terms for normal operation assumes 1% failed fuel.

Please provide the basis for such a high percentage of failed fuel.

For light water reactors the staff assumes that the reactor coolant activity concentrations are roughly equivalent to a fciled fuel fraction of 0.12% for pur-poses of calculation of radiological effluent source terms.

CS460.2 Page 11.5-3 of the PSAR discusses the options available for pro-cessing, storing and disposing of metallic sodium and sodium bearing solids.

It states that a firm decision has not been made regarding method and assigned responsibility for ultimate disposal.

At the operating license (OL) stage, the applicant will be required to demonstrate that methods for processing, packaging, transporting and ultimate disposal of the waste have been developed that will satisfy the applicable criteria of 10 CFR Part 61,10 CFR Part 71, T

DOT, disposal site license conditions, Regulatory Guide 1.143 and Standard Review Plan Section 11.4.

The applicant should commit to developing waste processing, packaging, transportation and disposal methods in accordance with these applicable criteria.

CS460.3 Show that you will be in compliance with items II.F.1, Attachment 1, Noble Gas Effluent Monitor, II.F.2, Attachment 2, Sampling and Analysis of Plant Effluents, and III.D.1.1, Integrity of Systems Outside Containment Likely to Contain Radioactive Material (as appiicable to the CRBRP) of NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements".
