DESIGN FEATURES 5.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM 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 4.1.2 of the a.

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

b.

For a pressure of 2500 psig, and c.

For a temperature of 650*F, except for the pressurizer and pressurizer surge line, which is 670*F.

VOLUME 5.4.2 The total water and steam volume of the reactor coolant system is 12,180 1 200 cubic feet at a nominal Tavg of 525'F.

5.5 METEORLOGICAL TOWER LOCATION 5.5.1 The meteorological tower shall be located as shown on Figure 5.1-1.

5.6 FUEL STORAGE CRITICALITY 5.6.1 The dry storage racks and the spent fuel storage racks in pool *B" are designed and shall be maintained with a nominal 21-1/8 inch center-to-center distance between fuel assemblies placed in the storage racks.

The high density spent fuel storage racks in pool "A" are designed and shall be maintained with a nominal 10.5 inch center-to-center distance between fuel assemblies placed in the storage racks.
