1 ENCLOSURE SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO POST-IRRADIATION FUEL SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM OF LIMERICK GENERATING STATION UNIT 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
By.latter dated September 12, 1986 (Ref. 1) from M. J. Cooney, Philadelphia Electric Company (PECo), to Robert Bernero, Director of Boiling Water Reactor Licensing, NRC, PEco informed NRC that routine visual inspection of representative (usually discharged) fuel will' be -
performed in connection with each refueling outage to comply with Section 4.2.4.3 of the NRC's Safety Evaluation Report (SER)' of the Limerick Unit 1 Station-by using the General Electric (GE) Post Irradiation Surveil-lance Program. The NRC staff has reviewed this letter to confirm that -
the licensee's proposal satisfies the Section 4.2.4.3 condition of approval.
2.0 EVALUATION
{
The General Electric (GE) Post Irradiation Surveillance Program has been f
previously reviewed by the staff and approved based on the use of design methodologies and testing procedures described in References 2, 4, 5,.
6, 7, 8 and 9 in accordance with the Post-Irradiation Surveillance, I

I Section II.D.3 of Standard Review Plan (SRP) 4.2 (Ref. 3). Therefore, we conclude that the Post-Irradiation Surveillance Program of the Spent Fuel Assembly of Limerick Generating Station Unit 1 is acceptable.
The licensee has proposed that the routine visual inspection of representative (usually discharged) fuel will be performed in conrection with each refueling outage by using the GE Post-Irradiation Surveillance Program. The staff finds that the licensee proposal is acceptable and appropriate.
3.0 CONCLUSION
S The staff has concluded, based on the considerations discussed above, that the Post-Irradia+. ion Fuel Surveillance has been correctly based on the results of the pre-approved staff analyses and the commitment made by PECo during the Limerick license review has been satisfied.
