(3) of and in the spent fuel sforage pool, due to the proposed co=paction and long-term storage of spent fuel .

now proposed for the Kevaunee plant.

C03TENTION 13.c.

1. Please delineate the metallurgical ccaposition of the pool liner, pipes, storage racks, and storage rack-bases.

2. If the metallurgical compositions of the items listed in 1. above differ, please submit an analysis of the galvanic corrosion effects of using dissimilar alloys for these components during the period of license due to the compaction ,

and increased cuantities of spent fuel as proposed by Applicant.

CONTENTI0H 13.f.

1. Please forward a documented copy of a study which quantifies the anticipated thickness of crud layers on spent fuel assemblies proposed to be more densely stored in increased quantities at Zewaunee.

2. Please provide an analysis of the tendency of crud to influence corrosion of spent fuel and cladding due to increased and more densely stored spent fuel at the Kewaunee plant.

GE'E?ll INTER?.0GATORIES

1. State whether or not you intend to present any witnesses in this proceeding. Provicde the nares, addresses, cc plete educational background and related professional experience.

2. Do Applicants have any plans to store these low level  :

radioactive wastes at the Kewaunee plant throughout the period of license?

~

3. Do Applicants have any contracts to remove these increased quantities of low level radioactive wastes from the Ke-waunee plant grounds?

CONTENTIONS 13.a., b., c., and f.

1. Please forward copies of any and all documented studies which verify that the spent fuel, cladding, and any and -

all components of and in the spent _ fuel storage pool will retain their integrity throughout the period of the license under conditions of the more dense and increased storage of spent fuel as proposed by Applicants at the Kewaunee Plant.

Contention 13.a.: .

1. Please provide a detailed analysis of the effects of borated water on more densely stored and increased quantities of Zewaunee spent fuel, cladding, support frames, storage racks, fuel basin liner, neutron absorber plantes, and all the other components of and in contact with storage pool boraged water for the duration of the period of license.

Please document this analysis.
