Ms. E. G. Adensam, Chief Licensing Branch No. 4 Re: McGuire Nuclear Station Docket Nos. 50-369 Unit 1/ Cycle 2 0FA Core Design
Dear Mr. Denton:
The following description of the McGuire Nuclear Station Unit 1/ Cycle 2 reload core is provided for your scheduling and planning purposes. This reload batch will utilize Westinghouse's optimized fuel assemblies (OFA).
The reload region (Region 4) for Cycle 2 of the W. B. McGuire Unit i reactor will consist of sixty (60) fuel assemblies. All fuel assemblies of Region 4 will be 17 x 17 Optimized Fuel Assemblies enriched to 3.2 weight-percent 235 U WCAP-9500, " Reference Core Report 17 x 17 Optimized Fuel Assembly," July 1979, describes the mechanical, thermal-hydraulic, and nuclear physics characteristics of the Optimized Fuel Assembly.
Comparisons are also made in this report between the Region 4 assemblies and those comprising Regions 1, 2, and 3.
To Duke Power Company's knowledge, the McGuire 1 Cycle 2 core will be the first core with an entire reload consisting of 0FA's.
Very truly yours, g
