SUBJECT:
MINUTES OF CRGR MEETING NUMBER 293 I
l The Committee to Review Generic Requirements (CRGR) met on Tuesday, October 8, 1996, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
A list of attendees is provided in.
The following items were discussed at the meeting:
1.
G. Holahan (NRR) presented for CRGR review and endorsement staff's j
evaluation and acceptance of the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) i methodology for crediting the soluble boron in Westinghouse-designed i
spent fuel pools (WCAP-14416-P, " Westinghouse Spent Fuel Rack Criticality Analysis Methodology," June 1995. The staff's rationale for accepting the WOG methodology was that a significant margin would be available, and thus, the probability of an inadvertent criticality in the spent fuel pool would not be increased to an appreciable extent.
The Committee remarked on the staff's evaluation and rationale, and on j.
ensuing acceptance of the WOG methodology. The Committee recommended very specific changes to be made to the text of the Safety Evaluation Report (SER). The staff agreed to these changes. Additionally, the Committee noted that in addition to these changes in text of the SER, they would also need to be incorporated by WOG in the subject' Topical Report (WCAP-14416-P). The staff agreed to work this out with WOG.
i Subsequently, WOG accepted these modifications and comitted to submit a revised Topical Report incorporating the CRGR recomendations delineated in the staff's SER. Attachment 2 contains details concerning this topic.
2.
CRGR was also briefed by the staff of Division of Reactor Program Management, NRR, on staff's plans for implementation of the revised accident source term at operating power plants. An option paper is 4
planned to be sent to the Comission. for consideration. No decisions or formal recommendation were made by CRGR; however, the Comittee
. expressed an interest in being involved in review of the foundation.
