SS 396 DATE AND TIME:

JULY 17, 1987; 9:00 a.m.

LOCATION:

Livermore, California l

t ATTENDEES:

See Attendance List (Enclosure 1)

FUPPOSE:

To discuss submittal of a revised topic report (TR).

DISCUSSION-In order to facilitate the discussion of NRC staff comments on the initial TR submitted, TN proposed an agenda (see Enclosure 2). This was accepted. TN had not prepared a set of responses to staff comments. The discussions centered on understanding of the comments, and TN's development of responses to resolve them in a revised TR.

A major issue remained unresolved at the end of the meeting.

Criticality design for the fuel basket relies on insertion of a "moison spider assembly" of rods into a fuel assembly. It is questionable whetler this approach can satisfy design criteria of 10 CFP, Part 72 for at-reactor site storage, at least in the non-site-specific context of a topical report.
