REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MILLSTONE UNIT 2 SPENT FUEL CONSOLIDATION

1. Proposed TS 3.9.19 would require that candidate fuel assemblies (for consolidation) must have decayed for at least 5 years. Please provide a justification for the proposed decay time in terms of the consolidation process. In this regard, you should provide a complete description of the consolidation process and an associated safety analysis.

5

2. Technical Specification 5.6.3 provides for a total of 1346 storage locations in the spent fuel pool. The practical limit for fuel storage is 1277 locations due to the need to allow 5 years for decay time of fuel assemblies prior to consolidation. The remaining 69 locations would contain cell blocking devices, fou should propose a revised TS 5.6.3, limiting storage to 1277 locations, or justify the need for 1346 locations.
