5.3 REACTOR CORE j

FUEL ASSEMBLIES 5.3.1 The reactor shall contain 193 fuel assemblies.

Each assembly shall consist of a matrix of zircaloy clad fuel rods with an initial composition of natural or slightly enriched uranium dioxide as fuel material.

Limited R172 l

substitutions of zirconium alloy or stainless steel filler rods for fuel rods,

'in accordance with NRC-approved applications of fuel rod configurations, may be used.

Fuel assemblies shall be limited to those fuel designs that have been analyzed with applicable NRC staff-approved codes and methods, and shown by L

tests or analyses to comply with all fuel safety design bases. A limited number of lead test assemblies that have not completed representative testing may be placed in nonlimiting core regions.

CONTROL R00 ASSEMBLIES 5.3.2 The reactor core shall contain 53 full length and no part length i

control rod assemblies.

The full length control rod assemblies shall contain I

i a nominal 142 inches of absorber material.

The nominal values of absorber material shall be 80 percpnt silver,15 percent indium and 5 percent cadmium.

All control rods shall be clad with stainless steel tubing.
