For Your Review - Potential Issue - TS SFP Storage Importance: High
: Joe, The NRC staff found a potential issue with WBN Unit 1 during our review of the WBN Unit 2 proposed TS 4.3 Fuel Storage.
The proposed WBN Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1 d says Fuel assemblies with enrichments less than or equal to 3.80 weight percent U-235 are allowed unrestricted storage.
The proposed WBN Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1.e.2 says, New and spent fuel assemblies may be stored in a checkerboard arrangement of 2 new and 2 spent assemblies, provided that each spent fuel assembly has accumulated a minimum burnup in the acceptable domain identified in Figure 4.3-4. Figure 4.3-4 requires fuel assemblies with an enrichment of 3.80 weight percent U-235 to have a burnup of approximately 10.32 GWD/MTU before they are candidates for storage in that checkerboard. Figure 4.3-4 requires some amount of burnup down to an enrichment of 2.51 weight percent U-235.
Therefore, fuel assemblies with enrichments less than or equal to 3.80 weight percent U-235 are NOT allowed unrestricted storage in the WBN Unit 2 SFP and proposed WBN Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1 d must be removed from the TS. The wording in TS 4.3.1.1.e will also need to be revised.
As the WBN Unit 2 proposed TS are virtually identical to the WBN Unit 1 TS, this is a potential issue that currently exists in the WBN Unit 1 TS. Therefore, TVA must (1) correct the WBN Unit 1 TS, (2) identify whether or not WBN Unit 1 currently has any fuel stored in the New and spent fuel assemblies may be stored in a checkerboard arrangement of 2 new and 2 spent assemblies that does not meet Figure 4.3-4, and (3) if, so, move them immediately, and (4) determine whether WBN Unit 1 ever had any fuel stored in the New and spent fuel assemblies may be stored in a checkerboard arrangement of 2 new and 2 spent assemblies that does not meet Figure 4.3-4.

For Your Review - Potential Issue - TS SFP Storage Importance: High

Joe, The NRC staff found a potential issue with WBN Unit 1 during our review of the WBN Unit 2 proposed TS 4.3 Fuel Storage.

The proposed WBN Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1 d says Fuel assemblies with enrichments less than or equal to 3.80 weight percent U-235 are allowed unrestricted storage.

The proposed WBN Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1.e.2 says, New and spent fuel assemblies may be stored in a checkerboard arrangement of 2 new and 2 spent assemblies, provided that each spent fuel assembly has accumulated a minimum burnup in the acceptable domain identified in Figure 4.3-4. Figure 4.3-4 requires fuel assemblies with an enrichment of 3.80 weight percent U-235 to have a burnup of approximately 10.32 GWD/MTU before they are candidates for storage in that checkerboard. Figure 4.3-4 requires some amount of burnup down to an enrichment of 2.51 weight percent U-235.

Therefore, fuel assemblies with enrichments less than or equal to 3.80 weight percent U-235 are NOT allowed unrestricted storage in the WBN Unit 2 SFP and proposed WBN Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1 d must be removed from the TS. The wording in TS 4.3.1.1.e will also need to be revised.

As the WBN Unit 2 proposed TS are virtually identical to the WBN Unit 1 TS, this is a potential issue that currently exists in the WBN Unit 1 TS. Therefore, TVA must (1) correct the WBN Unit 1 TS, (2) identify whether or not WBN Unit 1 currently has any fuel stored in the New and spent fuel assemblies may be stored in a checkerboard arrangement of 2 new and 2 spent assemblies that does not meet Figure 4.3-4, and (3) if, so, move them immediately, and (4) determine whether WBN Unit 1 ever had any fuel stored in the New and spent fuel assemblies may be stored in a checkerboard arrangement of 2 new and 2 spent assemblies that does not meet Figure 4.3-4.

Thanks.
