Dear Sir:

TROJAN NUCLEAR PLANT IAEA Safeguards Program Attached is a revision to the Trojan Design Information Questionnaires (DIQ) regarding the fuel pin exchange process conducted at Trojan. This revision was previously discussed with your staff and is submitted to you in accordance with 10 CFR 75.6 and 75.11.

PGE's letter of March 10, 1982 to the NRC provided an advance notification of a possible onsite fuel pin exchange operation and application of stain-less steel rods. This advance notification for the installation change was provided in accordance with 10 CFR 75.11. col.

The attached revision officially documents the changes in the DIQ resulting from the fuel pin exchange. This completes necessary actions by the licensee for the installation change as required in 10 CFR 75.

Sincerely, l

Attachment c:

The reactor contains a total of 193 fuel assemblies, 53 full-length control rods, and 8 part-length control rods. There are by design, a total of 50,952 fuel rods in the reactor.

Note 1.

Eight part-length control rods are scheduled to be removed in 1982, which will leave only 53 full-length control rods.

Note 2.

Three fuel rods in two fuel assemblies were replaced with dummy stainless steel rods in 1981 due to baffle jetting problems in the reactor core. Due to continuous baffle jetting problems, a various number of fuel assemblies in the peripheral region of the core will have fuel pins replaced with solid stainless steel rods.

NOTE: Due to baffle jetting problem, fuel pin exchange tools were obtained from Westinghouse for a temporary use during the 1982 refueling outage.

- Fuel rod exchange is not routine.

- One assembly has been built so that 88 fuel rods may be removed for examina-tion.
