ADVIS0EY COMKFITEE ON REACTOR SAFEUARDS UNITEJ STATES ATOMIC ENEMY CO!O!ISSION WASHINGTON 25, D. C.

October 21, 1958 lir. Harold L. Price, Director Division of Licensing and Regulation U. S. Atomic Energy Commission Washington 25, D. C.

Subject:

YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY

Dear Mr. Price:

The Committee finds that there are some matters relating to the Yankee reactor on which it should have more inforr.ation before it can give its final opinion on the overall safety of this reactor. These are:

p

1) The means that will be used to estinto the distribution of neutron flux and hee.t flux in the reactor so that the margin of ope.r-atien below burnout conditions can be de-termined.

I

2) The results of experients on the exte:Lt of precipitation of solids fron water contcining the encunts of boric acid ur.d lithium hydroxide expected in the operatin6 reactor under the E

conditions of temperature, pressure e.nd r?di-ation intensity which will be experierced iri the reactor.

3) The principles and procedures to be used in operating this reactor.

Would you please arrange to have this infor;.ation developed for us?

Sincerely yours,

/s/

C. Rogers M:Cullough
