Title:

Review of High Burnup Licensing Topical Reports 1i FIN Number: 82533 fj B&R Number: 20-19-10-12-3 i.

ji Project Manager: Michael Tokar (FTS 492-9478) 4 ..

j BACKGROUND 2: There has been a recent industry trend to operate reactor fuel to higher

) exposures than have been addressed in safety analyses. While preliminary i information indicated that extended-burnup operation was justifiable, ~

the NRC asked the U.S. fuel manufacturers to document information

~I leading to that conclusion and to provide that information to the NRC in ji report fom for review. These reports were received by NRC in 1982 and j' the review of these reports was begun in house. Some questions have

already been sent to the vendors and other questions are being prepared.

j_ The contractor must assume responsibility for 'these incomplete review

} actions and carry them to completion.

[,' OBJECTIVE 1

4 t The objective of this program is to provide for the balance of the l1 review and the preparation of the TER for each of the five vendor i

topical reports on extended-burnup effects. The reviews are to be conducted with full awareness of Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and Chapter 15 of the Standard Review Plan to ensure that the effects of high-burnup operation are accomodated for all of the regulatory requirements

} addressed by these parts of the SRP.

WORK REQUIREMENTS All reviews are to proceed concurreatly to the extent practical to q ensure uniformity of the technical evaluations.

Task 1: Review ENC Report, XN-NF-82-06. ,

Estimated Level of Effort: 0.3 PSY

[ Projected Completion Date: June 30, 1984

. Review background documents, preliminary questions, and notes provided i by NRC. Complete a technical review of the subject report to determine adequacy of the vendor's design and safety analysis to meet regulatory

l requirements at high fuel exposures. Determine the exposure (burnup) beyond which operation has not been justified.

Connon costs are for those costs incurred for effort such'as l preparatory or start-up efforts to interpret and reach agreement i on methodology, approach, acceptance criteria, regulatory position, l or TER format; efforts associated with the " lead plant" concept that i might be involved during the first one or two plant reviews as

/

ij estimated by the contractor; neetings/ discuss, ions involving the a,bove efforts to provide orientatieri, background knowledge, or guidance at

• the beginning or during performance of work; and any technical effort 1

applied to a category of fa.cilities, e.g., reactor analyses on all BWR facilities. Irt the case of the latter example, these costs should j} be prorated equally to only those facilities to which the effort' k applies. . . -

'j Development of methodologies, criteria, or technical positions are L

not fee-recoverable and, therefore, should not be categorized as .

coanon costs. Management and related support costs chargeable directly to the effort are not to be reported as coranon costs and should, therefore, be charged in proportion to the other direct costs associated with those facilities during the reporting period.

NOTE: Comon costs are to be accrued on a monthly basis and prorated j equally among the facilities identified under the effort at the end of each fiscal year or at the completion of the effort.
