1 APR1 0 W6 FCUP:GHB 70-3040 Georgia Power Company ATTN: Mr. R. E. Conway Senior Vice President Post Office Box 4545 Atlanta, Georgia 30302 Gentlemen:

We have initiated our review of your application transmitted on March 7,1986, for the special nuclear material license for the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant-Unit 1 and find that supplemental infonnation is required for completion of the licensing process. The enclosure identifies the additional information needed for our review. This information should be provided within 30 days so we can meet your requested licensing date.

If you have any questions, please' call me at 301-427-4510.

Sincerely, Origin 11('.

We do not believe that sufficient experimental data is available for low-density hydrogeneous moderation, of low-enrichment uranium arrays to permit validation of k-effective calculations with a 0.98. limit.

It will be necessary to show that validated k-effective values do not exceed 0.95 for the storage arrays or extensive controls must be established to exclude the low-density moderator from the array:

2.

The storage cells' characteristics, e.g., materials-of construction, inside dimensions, and wall thickness, should be provided so that we can independently calculate the k-effective of the storage arrays for fresh and spent fuel racks. A cross-sectional view of the poisoned spent fuel cell showing dimensions and material locations would be very helpful.
