DESIGN FFATURES 5.3 REACTOR CORE FUEL ASSEMBllES 5.3.1 The reactor core shall contain 193 fuel assemblies. Each fuel assembly shall consist of a matrix of zircaloy clad fuel rods with an initial composition of natural or slightly enriched uranium dioxide as fuel material.

Limited substitutions of zirconium alloy or stainless steel filler rods for fuel rods, in accordance with NRC-approved applications of fuel rod configurations, may be used. Fuel assemblies shall be limited to those fuel designs tha'. have been analyzed with applicable NRC staff-approved codes and methods, and shown by tests or analyses to comply with all fuel safety design bases. A limited number of lead test assemblies that have not completed representative testing may be placed in non-limiting core regions.

CONTROL R0D ASSEMBLIES 5.3.2 The core shall contain 57 full-length control rod assemblies. The full-length control rod assemblies shall contain a nominal 158.9 inches of absorber material.

The absorber material within each assembly shall be silver-indium-cadmium or hafnium.

Mixtures of hafnium and silver-indium-cadmium are not permitted within a bank. All control rods shall be clad with stainless steel tubing.

5.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYST1B

. DESIGN PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE 5.4.1 The Reactor Coolant system is designed and shall be maintained:

In accordance with the Code requirements specified in Section 5.2 of a.

the FSAR, with allowance for normal degradation pursuant to the applicable Surveillance Requirements, b.

For a pressure of 2485 psig, and For a temperature of 650*F, except for the pressurizer which is c.

680*F.

VOLUME 5.4.2 The total water and steam volume of the Reactor Coolant System is bs+ws=w 44 t14 i 100 cubic feet at a nominal T,y of 561'F.
