VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY NORTH ANNA INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL STORAGE INSTALLATION (ISFSI)
ASSOCIATED CHANGES TO THE NORTH ANNA UFSAR (TAC NO. L22113) i l
Virginia Electric and Power Company (Virginia Power) submitted an application for the review and approval of a site-specific license for an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at North Anna Power Station on May 9,1995 (Serial No.95-195).
Changes associated with ISFSI operation will be required to the North Anna Updated l
Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR). A summary of these changes is discussed in In addition, sections of the UFSAR that were reviewed for ISFSI i
applicability, but did not require any changes, are also identified in Attachment 1.
The changes identified in Attachment 1 have been approved by the North Anna Power Station Nuclear Safety and Operating Committee, do not constitute an unreviewed safety question, and will be incorporated into the UFSAR on a schedule in accordance l
with 10 CFR 50.71(e).
Please contact us if you have any questions or require additional information.
Very truly yours, James P. O'Hanlon Senior Vice President - Nuclear

ATTACHMENT 1 North Anna UFGAR Review The following sections of the UFSAR will be revised:
1.
Section 1.2.6 Fuel Handling System - This section will be revised to indicate that spent fuel may be placed in storage casks.
l 2.
Figure 1.2-1 Site Plan - This figure will be revised to include the ISFSI.
l i
l 3.
Figure 2.1-3 Site Boundary and Unrestricted Areas -This figure will be revised to l
include the ISFSI.
l 4.
Section 3.8.1.1.6 Decontamination Building (Partially Seismic Class I) - This l
section will be revised to include a description of the cask Helium and Vacuum Drying System and work platform.
5.
Section 9.1 Fuel Handling and Storage - This section will be revised to; 1) indicate that spent fuel may be placed in storage casks, 2) delete a section discussing l
lifting of casks that have been prepared for shipping, and 3) add a section j
discussing cask handling equipment and the loading and unloading of casks.

i 7.
Appendix 9B Fuel Pool Separating Wall Design - This section will be revised to; 1) l add a paragraph indicating that a safety evaluation for loading and unloading of l
the TN-32 storage bask concludes that the existing analyses are bounding for the TN-32 cask, 2) delete the statement that a technical specification will govern orientation of the crane hook during cask handling, and 3) require this orientation in cask loading and unloading procedures.
8.
Appendix 15A Spent-Fuel Shipping-Cask Drop Analysis - This section will be revised to; 1) add a paragraph indicating that a safety evaluation for loading and unloading of the TN-32 storage cask concludes that the existing analyses in Appendix 15A are bounding for the TN-32 cask, 2) delete the statement that a technical specification will govern cask lift heights, 3) add the lift height restrictions for the TN-32 cask,4) require the use of the cask loading area gate in addition to the lift height restrictions,5) include placing restrictions in handling procedures,6) include dose estimates for the TN-32 cask, and 7) compare cask drop accident dose estimates with fuel handling accident dose estimates.
