j 52 BWR assemblies, was at the AGNS-Barnwell site for examination and After minor modifications at the fabrication site handling checks.
in Ohio, further cold testing will be conducted at Morris followed by
. incremental loading of the cask with spent fuel to check thensal and shielding characteristics and to benchmark heat transfer codes for The latter tests are dependent calculation of fuel clad temperatures.
upon the receipt of spent fuel at GE-Morris from Cooper Nuclear Power Station. Present indications am that the cask fuel loading tests will occur next supuner. FC staff are presently reviewing a topical report on the REA cask as well as a report on a companion cask design' for pWR fuel.
West Valley FC staff members met with DDE. contractor and New York ERDA personnel l
at the West Valley. site on December 20 to review available information on the recent detection of contaminated solvent in a monitoring well ^
near the facility disposal area. A representative of the New York DOE has detected contamination in Health Department also was present.
