l ENCLOSURE j

REQUEST F0f< ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CRYSTAL RIVER UNIT 3 CYCLE 7 RELOAD 1.

Justify that the increased bypas's flow of 8.8% used in the thermal-hydraulic design evaluation for a full Mark BZ core provides sufficient margin to offset the core penalty required for the Cycle 7 nixed core of Mark BZ and Mark B fuel assemblies.

2.

The licensee has proposed to eliminate any reference to the DNB correlation used or the limiting DNBR value in the Bases for Tech Spec 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.

Although the staff has previously accepted the removal of the ONBR limiting value, we require that the particular correlation (s) used for the most recent core continue to be referenced in the Bases.

3.

Provide details on the reevaluation of the boron dilution event indicating why a reevaluation was required and justifying that the resulting time available for the operator to take corrective action meets the requirements of SRP 15.4.6.

3.

The Cycle 7 control rods will differ from those used'in previous cycles.

Provide a reference where the use of this type of control rod has been previously approved by the NRC. Since no mention of these new rods is made in the Cycle 7 reload report, verify that the Cycle 7 values of rod worths, shutdown margin, etc., reflect the use of these new control rods?

5.

Provide references for the NRC's previous. acceptance of the revised power imbalance detector correlation to justify the reduction-from 3.5% to 2.5%.
