- PRO /ISIONAL OPERATING LICE 2EE NO. DPR-16 (DO3Er NO. 50-219)

Applicant herebf requests the Comnission to change Provisional Operating License No. DPR-16 and Appendix A, .the Technical Specifications, of this License as follows:

1. Sections to be m arged

~

Paragraph 2.B.(2) of the License. Section 5.3 of the Technical ~

Specifications.

2. Extent of' Omnges To modify the previsions for receipt, possession and use of special nuclear material as reactor fuel, and to specify the appropriate storage requirements of reactor fuel.

~

~ 3. Charges ReqJested Replace paragraph 2.B(2) of the current Provisional Operating License DPR-16 with the attached paragraph 2.B(2) . Change Appendix A of the License,,as indicated in the attached Schnical Specification pages 5.3-1 and 5.3-2.

4. Discussion ne Oyster Creek spent fuel pool is currently licensed for the storage

.of 1800 spent fuel assenblies. In order to meet storage needs beyond 1985, it is our intent to increase the licensed storage capacity of the spent fuel pool to 2600 assenblies. W e increased capacity would meet anticipated storage requirements through 1992.

he current storage capacity of the spent fuel pool is based on Amendment No. 78 of the Facility Description and Safety' Analysis

- Report . (PDSAR) . Our review of Amendment No. 78 indicates that the proposed in:rease in storage capacity will impact pool reactivity considerations, pool structural adequacy and the heat load in the

., of the FDSAR describes pool. Amendment No. 79, dated the proposed spent fuel pool modifications and represents the safety evaluation to stpport the modifications. Technical Specification ~

&ange Request No.111 ensures that spent fuel is stored in conformance with Amendment No. 79 of the FDSAR.

-Se proposed modification to paragraph 2.B(2) of the current Provisional Operating License changes the PDSAR reference to Amendment No. 79 of the PDSAR, thereby allowing the storage of 2600 fuel assemblies in the spent fuel pool. .

/ , .

We have determined that the proposed modification to the spent fuel pool storage racks is acceptable because (1) the structural design is adequate, (2) the new storage racks will preclude criticality for the currently approved oyster Creek fuel assemblies, (3) the spent fuel

- pool can be adequately cooled, (4), the modification will be completed without damage to stored fuel assemblies sufficient to cause

- ~ criticality and (5) the quality of the human environment will not be significantly affected. We have, therefore, determined that (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the propose manner and (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Comaission's.

regulations and the issuance of this amendment will not be inimical to the cannon defense and security or to the health and safety of the public._ ,
