20555 Perry Nuclear Power Plant Docket No. 70-2968 Amendment Request for NRC Materials License No. SNM-1928
Dear Mr. Davis:
In accordance with 10CFR70.34, Amendment of Licenses, the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company acting on its own behalf and as agent for the Toledo Edison Company, Ohio Edison Company, Duquesne Light Company and Pennsylvania Power Company, requests that Materials License No. SNM-1928 dated March 7, 1985, be amended. We are requesting that our license be amended to cover two neutron detector storage casks instead of only one.
Enclosed are eight (8) copies of the necessary page changes to our license application dated August 30, 1982, and as further amended by our letters of September 30, 1982, May 27, 1983, May 30, 1984, November 15, 1984, January 7, 1985 and January 25, 1985.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Very truly yours, TC MCTED

u - PERRY NUCLEAR POWER PLANT UNIT 1 Application for License For Storage Only of Unitradiated Reactor Fuel and Associated Radioactive Material The Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company (CEI) for itself and on behalf of Duquesne Light Company, Ohio Edison Company, Pennsylvania Power Company, and the Toledo Edison Company, pursuant to Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations Parts 30, 40, 70, and 71, hereby applies for a license to permit the receipt, possession, inspection, and storage of special nuclear material in the form of unirradiated nuclear fuel bundles, for the packaging of such fuel for delivery to a carrier, and for the receipt, possession, inspection and use of in-core detectors, operational sources and irradiated neutron detector storage casks l as herein described for the Perry Nuclear Power Plant - Unit 1. The term of the license is requested to begin March 1,1985, for the in-core detectors, operational source, fuel bundles and the irradiated neutron detector storage casks. It is requested that the license remain in effect until such time as l it may be supplanted by an operating license. June 26, 1985
SNM Lic:nse P ge 32 not be possible under these accident conditions. The conse-quence of the accident would be limited to the minimal effect of possible rupture of fuel rods and subsequent release of unirradiated uranium dioxide fuel. Due to construction activities in other areas of the fuel handling building, the HEPA filters and charcoal bed in the exhaust filter will not be used. A roughing filter will be used which is capable of removing 85 to ) 90% of particles greater than 0.1 to 5 microns. 3.0 OTHER MATERIAL REQUIRING NRC LICENSE Authorization is requested to receive, *Dossess, inspect and use antimony - beryllium (SbBe) neutron sources, in-vessel neutron detectors containing U-235 enriched greater than 20% and two irradiated neutron detector storage casks containing depleted uranium. These are in addition to the fuel bundles p,reviously described in this application. 3.1 In-Vessel Neutron Detectors 3.1.1 Desc ription The neutron detectors consist of three types Source Range Monitors (SRM), Intermediate Range Monitors (IRM) and Local Power Range Monitors. All of these detectors are sealed sources. The Transvering In-Core Probes (TIP) are the gamma sensitive type and do not contain any special nuclear material. The quantities of U-235 are shown in the following table: Activity Qty. Description Crams U-235 (microcurics) (See Note Per Per Below) Detector Total Detector Total 8 SRM Detectors .00272 .02176 5.82 X 10~3 4.66 X 10-2 ~3 16 IRM Detectors .00075 .01200 1.60 X 10 2.56 X 10-2 196 LPRM Detectors .00022 .04312 4.71 X 10~4 9.23 X 10-2 The total quantity of U-235 enriched greater than 20% is 0.07688 grams. This quantity of enriched U-235 does not exceed the " Formula quantity" defined in 10CFR73.2 bb. Therefore, the physical protection requirements of 10CFR73 do not apply. 3.1.2 Storage and Ibndling Neutron detectors may be temporarily stored in a limited access area, adjacent to the fuel pools in the Fuel Handling Building. The neutron detectors will be installed in their normal use configuration in the reactor vessel when not stored in the Fuel Handling Building. Storage in this configuration will be in the detector dry tubes in the reactor vessel for the SRM, IRM and LPRM de tectors. The spare neutron detectors will be stored adjacent to the fuel pools in the Fuel Handling Building under the auspices of the Interim or Physical Security Plans. June 26, 1985
r o SNM Licens] P ge 36 o policy, a minimum of 5 feet of water will be main-tained above the sources when moving them to provide proper shielding. Also, a minimum of 5 feet of water shieldit.g will also be provided above the lead cask containing the sources upon removal of the cask lid. By familiarizing the personnel with ALARA concepts and by providing review of procedures, the operation will result in personnel doses which are as low as reasonably achievable. 3.2.2.4 Shipping Authorization In addition to storage, authorization is requested for provisions to cover return shipping containers to the supplier in case of damage to the sources or excessive decay of sources due to start-up delays. Appropriate procedures and precautions will be ut111:ed should this need arise. 3.3 Irradiated Neutron Detector Storage Canks 3.3.1 Deac ript ion Each cask is a lead shielded container clad with stainless steel. They contain an aluminum repository bucket into which the neutron detectors and segments of irradiated cable are deposited. This bucket is sealed in with a stainless steel plug which acts as the lid and is filled with depleted uranium (U-238). Each cask contains 91.36 kg of depleted uranium l (U-238) and an estimated radioactivity of 32.8896 met. The cask is shown in Figure 15. 3.3.2 Shippina Authorization In addition to storage, authorisation is requested for provisions to cover return of the storage casks to the supplier in case of damage to a cask. Appropriate procedures and precautions will be ut111:ed should this need arise. 452/F/38/ca Juno 26, 1985
