Dear Mr Dudley:

Re: S ent Fuel Pool Accidents I write to comment upon Enclosure ¹2 to your 17 June 1999 memorandum titled "Summary of Meeting with the Nuclear Energy Institute". Enclosure

¹2 was titled "Draft Technical Study of Spent Fuel Pool Accidents for Decommissioning Plants".

This Draft Technical Study is deficient in at least two respects. First, it does not address the implications of partial drainage of a spent fuel pool. Second, it does not address the potential for an exothermic reaction between steam and zirconium. Both deficiencies are significant, and must be corrected if this Study is to provide useful guidance for regulatory action.

Please find enclosed a report which provides information on the implications and significance of partial drainage and the steam-zirconium reaction in connection with spent fuel pool accidents (see especially Appendices C, D and E). This report addresses an operating nuclear power plant (the Harris plant),

but many of its findings are relevant to spent fuel pools at nuclear power plants which have been shut down.

If you and your colleagues wish to discuss the implications and significance of partial drainage and the steam-zirconium reaction, I would be pleased to do So.
