Enclosure Questions Related to the Fort Calhoun Station, Unit No. 1 CEA Inspection Results 1.

Section 2.2 of the subject report has calculated an incremental strain for Cycle 10 that appears to be an estimated average incremental strain.

If so, what is the 95/95 upper confidence bound strain expected for the CEAs at the end of Cycle 10?

2.

Section 3.4 of the subject report has estimated the effects of reduced scram worth on Hot Zero Power and Hot Full Power Main Steam Line Break accidents.

Are these the bounding accident scenarios for evaluating control rod worth? Also, why is Cycle 10 considered to have a less severe cooldown curve than some previous cycles for this plant?

3.

Do the Combustion Engineering (C-E) evaluation models for B C swelling 4

and CEA cladding strain underpredict the strain data from Cycle 9 of Fort Calhoun Station Unit I? If so, what plans are to be implemented to eliminate further underpredictions of cladding strains for CEAs?
