Purpose of Meeting I Desired Outcome eR
. This LAR is being submitted to request approval to operate eight (8) GAlA fuel assemblies in operating cycle 27 without restriction
. The fuel assembly design, methods, and details of this request are the same as what was described in Amerens previous submittal (ML22153A174)
The first LAR was withdrawn to remove proposed changes to the power distribution TSs for supporting a full transition to Framatome fuel The associated Framatome method for Power Distribution Control is also removed
. Additional details on the submittal, methods, and modifications to the methods are contained in ML21123A258, ML21279A286 and ML22047A094 from earlier pre-submittal meetings for the previous LAR.
Backrround
- Ameren Callaway MISSOURI Energy Center
. Caliaway LEA I VQP Program for Framatome Fuel Lead Fuel Assemblies (LFAs) 4 Fuel Assemblies 3 cycles (Cycles 25, 27, 28)
NonLirniting Operation (Cycle 25 only)
Vendor Qualification Program (VQP)
VQP Assemblies 4 Additional Fuel Assemblies 3 cycles (Cycles 27, 28, 29)
Fully Licensed Operation
. GAlA Fuel Design
. Based on Framatome methods as previously discussed
Technical Specification Change Implications athwv
. Cycle 26 started May 2022
No Framatome fuel in core
. Cycle 27 starts late October 2023 8 Framatome GAlA Assemblies (4 LFAs and 4 VQP)
Balance of core continues to be Westinghouse-supplied fuel assemblies Presence of Framatome fuel assemblies dictates changes to:
. TS ZI A Reactor Core Safety Limits
. TS 421
- Fuel Assemblies Westinghouse methods continue to govern COLR development
. Framatome evaluations ensure compliance with limits
. Cycles 28 and 29 Same practices would continue until GAlAAssemblies are discharged from the core
Discussion of Insufficiency Items (ML22199A177) iIir:efl Consistent with the NRC letter acknowledging the request to withdraw the first LAR, the following items will be addressed:
I What is the timeline for availability of the Ejected Rod Analysis Results?
Final documentation will be available by the time of this LAR submittal.
2.
In general, the limitations and conditions, established by the NRC staff, for each topical report
. are not dispositioned or addressed.
A cross-walk table correlating the discussion locations of the limitations and conditions for each referenced topical report will be added as stand-alone Appendix.
3 The basis for selecting the governing PDL TS LCO does not appear to be associated with the fuel that has the limiting margin. There is inadequate discussion regarding how one TS limit protects the other fuel.
This proposed LAR does not alter the TS 32 Power Distribution Limits TSs, Lefl, unique TS structure is not present in the proposed LAR (compared to the previous LAR).
4.
Operation with an improper fuel assembly loading event was not discussed in the LAR although referenced in the Attachment 12 Non-LOCA Summary Report.
FSAR I 5.4.7, Inadvertent Loading and Operation of a Fuel Assembly in Improper Position, will be evaluated in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 50.71(e).
