l Insert 1 3/4.9.13 SPENT FUEL POOL MINIMUM BORON CONCENTRATION l The spent fuel racks have been analyzed in accordance with the methodology contained in l WCAP-14416-NP-A," Westinghouse Spent Fuel Rack Criticality Analysis Methodology", Revision 1, November,1996. This methodology ensures that the spent fuel rack multiplication factor, kerr is less than or equal to 0.95, as recommended by ANSI 57.2-1983 and the guidance contained in NRC Letter to All Power Reactor Licensees from B. K. Grimes,"OT Position for Review and Acceptance of Spent Fuel Storage and Handling Applications", April 14,1978. The codes, methods, and techniques contained in the methodology are used to satisfy this kerr criterion. The spent fuel storage racks are analyzed to allow storage of 17X17XL fuel assemblies with nominal enrichments up to 4.95 w/o U-235 utilizing credit for checkerboard configurations, burnup, Integral Fuel Burnable Absorbers, decay time, RCCAs, and soluble boron, to ensure that kerris maintained s 0.95, including uncertainties, tolerances, and accident conditions. In addition, the spent fuel pool kerr is maintained < l.0 including uncertainties and tolerances on a 95/95 basis , without soluble boron. The inadvertent withdrawal of an RCCA from a required location in a Region 2 checkerboard is bounded by the misloading of a 4.95 w/o fuel assembly in the same l checkerboard pattern at the location of the assembly with the inadvertently withdrawn RCCA. I The soluble boron concentration required to maintain kerr s 0.95 under normal conditions is 700 ppm.

                                                                                                                                          )

Specifications 5.6.1.3 and 5.6.1.4 ensure that fuel assemblies are stored in the spent fuel racks in accordance with the configurations assumed in the spent fuel rack criticality analysis. The most limiting accident with respect to the storage configurations assumed in the spent fuel  ; rack criticality analysis is the misplacement of a cominal 4.95 w/o U-235 fuel assembly into a storage cell location in the Region 2 RCCA checkerboard #2 storage arrangement. The amount of soluble boron required to maintain kerr less than or equal to 0.95 due to this fuel mistoad accident is 2200 ppm. The 2500 ppm limit specified in the LCO bounds the 2200 ppm required for a fuel misload accident. A spent fuel pool boron dilution analysis was performed to determine that sufficient time is available to detect and mitigate dilution of the spent fuel pool prior to exceeding the kerr design basis limit of 0.95. The spent fuel pool boron dilution analysis concluded that an inadvertent or unplanned event that would result in a dilution of the spent fuel pool boron concentration from 2500 ppm to 700 ppm is not a credible event. inn >pgs shpnt_rutdoc

DESIGN FFATURES 5.3 REACTOR CORE FUEL ASSEMBLIES 5.3.l The reactor core shall contain 193 fuel assemblies. Each fuel assembly shall consist of a matrix of zircaloy or ZIRLO clad fuel rods with an initial composition of natural or slightly enriched uranium dioxide as fuel material.
