I' P.O. box 33180 CHARL FrTE, N.O. 28242 HALB. TUCKER renzsnosce VN2R PERetDENT (704 37HM1 Junel 19, 1989 U..S. Nuclear; Regulatory' Commission Washington,:D.C. 20555 Attention: Document Control Desk Subj ect: McGuire Nuclear Station Docket' Numbers 50-369 and -370 Use of Physical' Barrier's in Region 2 of The Spent Fuel Pools On June 15, 1989, a telephone conversation was held between the NRC Staff and Duke personnel to discuss our withdrawal of the subject commitment, as indicated
.by my February 3, 1989 letter. By letter of June 8, 1989 the Staff expressed
. concern and disagreement about our position.
As a result of the telecon, Duke has agreed to reinstate the commitment to-
. provide physical barriers in Region 2 when unqualified assemblies are stored in'a checkerboard configuration. Studies are being done to determine a suitable design.for these barriers. Until.a suitable design'is available for use, Duke has further committed to move'no fuel into or within a Region 2 rack (Unit 1 or Unit 2) which contains unqualified fuel. There are at present 31 unqualified assemblies checkerboarded in Region 2 of Unit 1, and 3 unqualified assemblies checkerboarded in Region 2 of Unit 2.
An analysis is underway which is intended to qualify these assemblies for unrestricted storage. After these assemblies are qualified by analysis, and/or any remaining unqualified assemblies in Region
- 2 of each unit are removed from Region 2-and placed in Reaion 1, we may resume placing qualified assemblies in Region 2.
'If we may be of further assistance in resolving this issue, please contact Scott Gewehr at (704) 373-7581.
Very truly yours, hl
