= 5.3 REACTOR S ecification J
e 5.3.1 Reactor Core 5.3.1.1 The reactor core contains approximately 93 metric tons of slightly enriched uranium dioxide pellets.
The pellets are encapsulated in Zircaloy-4 tubing to form fuel. rods. The reactor core is made up of 177 fuel assemblies.
Eu.h fuel assembly is fabricated with 208 fuel rods.
(1,2) Starting with Batch 11, a reconstitutable fuel assemb_1y design is implemented.
This design allows the replacement of up to 208 fuel rods in the assembly.
For Cycle 10 operation only,-fuel assembly NJ0539 will.contain one stainless steel filler rod in place of-one fuel rod. (Note 1) 5.3.1.2 The reactor core approximates a right circular cylinder with an equivalent diameter of 128.9 inches and an active height of 144 inches. LThefactive fuel length is approximately 142 inches.(2) 5.3.1.3 The average enrichment of the initial core is a nominal 2.62 weight percent of-235U _ Three fuel enrichments are used in the
-initial: core; The' highest. enrichment is less than 3.5 weight
_ percent 235U.
=5.3.1.4
.There-are 60 full. length control rod-assemblies-(CRA) and 8 axial. power shaping rod; assemblies (APSRA) distributed in the reactor core as1shown in FSAR Figure 3-60.
The full-length CRA contain'a 134-inch length of silver-indium-cadminum alloy clad-with stainless-steel.
Each'APSRA contains a 63-inch length of-Inconel-600 alloy.(3)
- 5.3.1.5 The initial. core has 68 burnable poison spider. assemblies with.
similar dimensions as the full-length control. r_ods.' LThe cladding is Zircaloy-4 filled with alumina-boron and placed-in the' core as' shown in FSAR Figure 3-2.
5.3.1.6 Reload fuel assemblies and rods chall conform.to-the des'ign and' evaluation described in FSAR and shall-not exceed an enrichment of 3.5 percent-of 235U.
