5.5 METEOROLOGICAL TOWER LOCATION 5.5.1 The meteorological tower shall be located as shown on Figure 5.1-1.

5.6 FUEL STORAGE CRITICALITY 5.6.1 The new and spent fuel storage racks are designed and shall be maintained with:

a.

Ak equivalent to less than or equal to 0.95 when flooded with unb8f$ted water, which includes a conservative allowance for uncertainties as described in Section 9.1.2.3.1 of the FSAR, and -

b.

A nominal 21-inch center-to-center distance between fuel assemblies placed in the new fuel storage vault racks, and c.

E,EFUELING GPERATIONS 3/4.9.12 FUEL STORAGE - SPENT FUEL STORAGE' POOL LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.9.12 Fuel.is to be stored in the spent fuel storage pool with:

g, a.

Storage in Region 2 restricted to the following:

j 1)

Fuel which has been qualified in accordance with Figure 3.9-2 or unqualified fuel stored in a checkerboard configuration.

In the event checkerboard storage is used, one row between normal storage locations and checkerboard storage locations will be vacant; and 2)

Irradiated fuel which has decayed at least 16 days; and b.

The boron concentration in the spent fuel pool maintained at greater than or equal to 2000 ppm.

APPLICABILITY:

During storage of fuel in the spent fuel pool.

ACTION:

Suspend all actions involving the movement of fuel in the spent a.

fuel pool if it is determined a fuel assembly has been placed in the incorrect Region until such time as.the correct storage location is de'termined.

Move the assembly to its correct location before -

resumption of any other fuel movement.

b.

Suspend all actions involving the movement of fuel in the spent fuel pool if it is determined the pool boron concentration is less than 2000 ppm, until such time as the boron concentration is increased to 2000 ppm or greater.

The provisions of Specifications 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 are not applicable.

c.

SURVEILLANCE REOUIREMENTS 4.9.12a.

Verify all fuel assemblies to be placed in Region 2 of the spent fuel pool are within the enrichment and burnup limits of Figure 3.9-2 I

by checking the assemblies' design and burnup documentation.

b.

Verify at least once per 31 days that the spent fuel pool boron concentration is greater than 2000 ppm.
