Dear Mr. Peters:
By letter dated June 28, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21187A198), Framatome Inc. (Framatome) submitted to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), Topical Report (TR) ANP-10340P, Revision 0, Supplement 1, Revision 0, Incorporation of Chromia-Doped Fuel Properties in Framatome PWR [Pressurized Water Reactor] Methods, for review and approval. The TR is a supplement to the approved TR ANP-10340-PA, Revision 0, Incorporation of Chromia-Doped Fuel Properties in AREVA Approved Methods (ADAMS Package Accession No. ML18171A107), for the incorporation of chromia-doped fuel in Framatome approved methods, which dealt only with boiling water reactor (BWR) methodologies. This supplement documents the effects of the use of chromia-doped fuel and its implementation in Framatome PWR methodologies.
On November 15 through December 31, 2021, the NRC staff conducted a virtual regulatory audit to discuss supporting documentation and to ask questions about the review of TR ANP-10340P, Revision 0, Supplement 1, Revision 0, regarding the application of chromia-doped fuel. In addition, Microsoft Teams discussions were held on November 18 and December 7, 2021. The results of the audit provided additional information to support the NRC staff safety evaluation. The audit report is enclosed.
