e January 5, 1987 Docket No. 50-271 LICENSEES: Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corporation FACILITY: Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station

SUBJECT:

DECEMBER 23, 1986 MEETING WITH THE VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION (VYNPC)

RE: Spent Fuel Pool Expansion On December 23, 1986, a meeting was held at the NRC headquarters in Bethesda,-

Maryland to discuss the heavy loads considerations related to the fuel pool expansion proposed by VYNPC by letter dated April 23, 1986. Enclosure 1 is a list of individuals that attende.1 the meeting. Enclosure 2 is a figure presented by VYNPC to represent laydown areas and safe load paths.

Discussion of heavy loads proceeded on the basis of clarifying VYNPC responses to questions 28, 29, 30 and 31 in the VYNPC submittal dated November 24, 1986. i Based on the discussion VYNPC agreed to docket the following clarifications probably during early January 1987:

1. Provide a description of the rack lifting device, including dose estimates for use of device.

2. Describe load paths including procedural constraints such as minimum lifting height, avoidance of open hatches, expeditious routing, and contingent laydown areas.

3. Provide citations or references pertaining to previous licensing discussions supporting the approach to heavy load paths used at Vermont Yankee.

4. Describe how above paths will be marked ( 2 feet acceptable).

5. Determine consequence of any single failure with respect to tilt, rotation, or dropping, and state results of this determination.

6. State plans for rack procurement and use. (e.g. procure all racks from one vendor, bring on site initially, and install within 2-3 years) 8701060361 870105 PDR ADOCK 05000271 P PDR

Following the discussion of heavy load considerations VYNPC presented an overview of the thermal hydraulic analysis supporting the p:oposed fuel pool expansion. A meeting at Richland Washington to discuss the thermal hydraulic aspects of the design was tentatively set for 1:00 p.m. January 15, 1987 between the staff (at Richland for WPPS fire protection review at that time),

the NRC contractor (PNI), and Vermont Yankee analysts. The exact meeting place will be announced later.
