To add encapsulated and segmented PWR fuel rod segments within a new basket known as the Rods-In-Tubes Canister (RITC) basket The revised SAR includes structural, thermal, shielding, and criticality evaluations for the new payloads. All changes are marked with a revision bar in the right margin. There is one new SAR drawing, drawing 1910-01 SAR, which adds the RITC Basket and other necessary hardware components.
To assist in evaluating the revised SAR, a change summary list is included as. The BRR package complies with all applicable requirements of 10 CFR 71. The Orano FS quality assurance program, approved by the NRC satisfies the provisions of Part 71, Subpart H Quality Assurance [2].
