REFUELING INFORMATION REQUEST

1. Name of Facility:

Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 1

2. Scheduled date for next refueling shutdown:

September 8, 1995

3. Scheduled date for restart following current refueling: NA
4. Will refueling or resumption of operation thereafter require a technical specification change or other license amendment?

NO

5. Scheduled date(s) for submitting proposed licensing action and suporting information:

NA 6.

Important licensing considerations associated with refueling, e.g. new or different fuel design or supplier, unreviewed design or performance analysis methods, significant changes in fuel design, new operating procedures:

a) GPUN will continue to improve the review process by submittal of Technical Specification Change Requests (TSCR) concerning the reload-related areas of fuel assembly reconstitution and removal of cycle-dependent core limits to the Core Operating Limits Report (COLR).

1)

TSCR 234 was suhaitted in November 1993 consistent with GL 88-16 and the BAW-10179P " Safety Criteria and Methodology for Acceptable Cycle Reload Analyses" Safety Evaluation (March 16, 1993) for the removal of cycle-specific protective and maximum allowable setpoint limits for axial power imbalance and other applicable cycle-dependent limits.

b) TMI will use the new Mark B10 fuel assembly in the Cycle 11 reload batch which is an upgraded design of the Mark B9 assembly used in Cycle 10.

The Mark B9 provides a leaf-type cruciform assembly holddown spring to replace the previous coil spring designs that has experienced random failures during operation and requires visual inspection each outage.

The Mark B10 design meets all current BWFC fuel design criteria and is in use at other R&W 177 FA plants.

7.

The number of fuel assemblies (a) in the core, and (b) in the spent fuel storage pool:

(a) 177 (b) 601 8.

The present licensed spent fuel pool storage capacity and the size of any increase in licensed storage capacity that has been requested or is planned,

)

in number of fuel assemblies:

The present licensed capacity is 1990.

Phase 1 of the reracking project to increase spent fuel pool storage capacity permits storage of 1342 assemblies.

Upon completion of Phase II of the reracking project, the full licensed capacity will be attained.

6

~

9. The projected date of the last refueling that can be discharged to the spent fuel pool assuming the present licensed capacity:

Completion of Phase I of the reracking project permits full core off-load (177 fuel assemblies) through the end of Cycle 14 and on completion of the rerack project full core off-load is assured through the end of the current operating license and beyond.
