Dear Hr. Standerfer:
Subject:
Use of Debris Canisters
Reference:
(a) Letter 4410-86-L-001, F. Standerfer to W. Travers, Use of Debris Canisters, dated January 17, 1986 Reference (a) forwarded, for NRC staff concurrence, GPU Nuclear's proposal to use modified fuel canisters as temporary containers for removal of fuel assembly upper end fittings, control component spiders, or other structural ciaterial from the THI-2 reactor vessel. The containers will be assembled on site using spare or rejected components from canister vendors and will be designed so that they are easily differentiated frcm the fuel canisters.
Reference (a) discussed the safety issues relating to criticality, combustible gas generation, container pressurization, lifting and handling, fuel pool contamination, and prevention of inadvertent shipment of debris containers.
The staff concurs with your assessment that the safety consequences of the proposed activity are bounded by the previously approved Defueling Canister Technical Evaluation Report and Early Defueling Safety Evaluation Report.
However, we will require that procedures implemented for the use of the debris containers include as restrictions, the efforts to limit the amount of fuel entering the containers as discussed 1 i reference (a)..
We have determined that use of the proposed debris containers does not pose a risk to the health and safety of the public or occupational work force nor does it exceed the scope of activities and the associated environmental impacts considered in the staff's Programatic Environmental Impact Statenent.
It does not present the possibility of any accident not previously analyzed nor does it change the consequences of, or likelihood of any previously analyzed accident. Margins of safety are not reduced and the proposed activity requires no changes to the plant Technical Specifications. The activity does not constitute an unreviewed safety question.

!!r. F. R. Standerfer January 21, 1985 We therefore approve the use of the propcsed debris containers contingent upon the subnittal of the related procedures suoject to our approval per Technical Specification 6.8.2.
