BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGUAllT1OI VIlRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER CO~4PANY SIJRRY. UNITS I AND 2 AND NORTH ANNA UNITS ] AN~DA 1.0 Introduction By letter dated April 9, 1984. the NRC approved an~ increase in the batch average burnup restriction from 37,000 to 45,000 MWO/MTU (megawatt days per metric ton of uranium) for both the Surry and North Anna Power Stations, Subsequently, by letter dated November 25, 1992. the Virginia Electric and Power Company (the licensee) requested relaxation of the batch average burnup restriction of 45,000 MWD/NTU, as presently Foecified in NRC letter dated April 9, 1984, for both the Surry and North facilities, and proposed instead to Itmlt the burnup to limits consistent with the NRC Safety evaluation report (SER) on a Westinghouse topical ri~ort WCAP-10125, entitled"Extended Burnup Evaluation of Westinghouse Fuel." which was transmitted to the Westinghouse Electric Corporation by NRC letter dated October 11, 1985.The staff concludes that it is acceptable to raise the limit to 50,000 HUD/MTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of any fuel .rod is no greater than 60 IWD/MTU pursuant to the limits specified in the R~tgii (53 FR 6040).2.0 Ly ua~t~on The WCAP-10125 report described .tthe models and methodology used in the safety analys~is of Westinghouse fuel at extended burnup and discusses the experimental data used to support those models. As stated in the above-cited NRC letter dated October 11, 1985, we found the topical report to be acceptable for referencing in license applications to the extent specified and under the limitations delineated in the topical report and the associated NRC SER. The staff review of the topical report found that: I. WCAP-10125 not only discussed models, methodology and data, but also applied these models to show that existing "limits continue to be met over a burnup range exceeding that requested by the licensee.2. The models used have been previously reviewed and approved by the NRC without explicit burnup limits. The analysis simply applied these.unchanged models over a burnup range not previously considered, but did not address radiological aspects, which are discussed below.3. Westinghouse examined the application of the existing methodology at extended burnup and identifiled no burnup-dependent phenomena which would invalidate the analyses pierformed. 1 931;214 PDR ADOCI P PIVM I 11111i1!Illi liil11111111t1111111I IItllii(Il1111 9312170201 I-2-4. Results of Westinghouse extended burnup Lead Assembly programs at a number rof Westinghouse plants (including Surry and North Anna) support the Westinghouse conclusion (excluding radiological aspects discussed below).The $icensee has reviewed the Westinghouse report (gCAP-liOZS) and has determiuned that the results are applicable.

The NRC staff performed an independent analys~is of the radrl',oglcal consequences of extended fuel burnup and concluded that, while there would be.an increased thyroid dose resulting fromthe fuel..handling accident, the calculated Increase was nct significant.

The increased thyroid dose meets the acceptance criteria of the Standard Review. Plan Section 15.7.4 and the dose.guidelines set forth in 10 CFR Part 100. Subsequent to the issuance of the NRC SRE, NUREG/CR-5O0g, entitled "Assessment of the Use r t Extended Burnup Fuel in Light Water Power Reactors," was published In Febrary 1988 to document a study conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory for the NRC. This report concluded that there are no significant adverse environmental effects*associated with increases in the burnup level to a maximum rod .average burnup or 60,000 MWD/NTU.3.0 Environmental Considertitons The staff prepared and published an environmental assessment and findi'~q of no significant impact from the use of extended burnup fuel in connercial light water reactors in the 'fgdra!1 Reaister (53 FR 6040), whlt¢' concluded that there are no significant.

adverse radiological or non-radiological impacts associated with the use of extended burnup fuel and that tts use will not significantly affect the quality-of the human environment.

Therefore.

to 1CFR_ 51_31, theComei_.Ssion has determi!ned that an environmental impact statement need not be prepared for this action.4.0 Conicluston We have concluded that Increasing of the batch average burnup restriction to 50,000 NWDtMTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of any fuel rod is no greater than 60 MVO1I/NTU for the Surry and North Anna facilities, is acceptable.

lnplicit in this evaluation is that the 'fuel management scheme will continue to provide the limiting location of fuel during subsequent cycles of operation..r.'Inclpal Contributor:
