SUBJECT:
SUMMARY
OF MEETING HELD ON JUNE 9,1998, TO DISCUSS SPENT FUEL HEATUP ANALYSIS PERFORMED BY MAINE YANKEE ATOMIC POWER STATION On June 9,1998, the NRC staff met at Rockville, Maryland, with staff of Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company (MYAPC or the licensee) and its contractor, Scientech, Inc., to discuss the spent fuel heatup analysis that MYAPC performed in support of exemption requests that it has submitted related to emergency preparedness and financial protection.
A list of attendees is included as Enclosure 1.
MYAPC provided certifications of permanent cessation of operation and permanent removal of fuel from the reactor vessel on August 7,1997. On November 6,1997, MYAPC submitted an exemption request to discontinue certain aspects of offsite emergency preparedness to reflect the permanently defueled status of the plant. On January 20, 1998, MYAPC submitted exemption requests from certain insurance coverage and financial protection requirement limits related to onsite and offsite liability coverage due to the reduced potential risk that the shutdown plant presents to public health and safety. An analysis by Brookhaven National Laboratory indicated that a potential hazard, a zircaloy cladding failure due to spent fuel heatup in the event of a loss of spent fuel pool water, could occur for some time after a reactor nas been shut down. MYAPC performed a spent fuel decay heat analysis to demonstrate to the NRC staff that the Maine Yankee spent fuel had cooled sufficiently that in the event of a complete loss of spent fuel pool water, the fuel temperature would not exceed 565"C, the temperature below which fuel cladding integrity is rnaintained, in its presentation, the licensee stated that its purpose was to discuss the basis and results of the MYAPC heatup analysis and to demonstrate that the Maine Yankee fuel is no longer capable of sustaining an uncontrolled heatup resulting in fuel clad damage and offsite release. The licensee provided an overview of the Maine Yankee spent fuel and a comparison to the generic PWR analysis, and a description of the development of the MYAPC analysis.
A representative from Scientech then presented a detailed discussion of the MYAPC analysis. Although the meeting was open to public observation, this portion of the meeting .
wes closed.to the public due to the proprietary material that Scientech presented. The t handout used by MYAPC during the non-proprietary portion of the meeting is included as 0[y
