REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ISSUES RELATED TO SPENT FUEL POOL STORAGE CAPACITY COOPER NUCLEAR STATION DOCKET NO. 50-298

1. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff requests the licensee to provide the following information that is applicable for the Cooper Nuclear Station Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) expansion for the fuel assemblies expected to be discharged in the future:

a) The types of fuel assemblies to be stored.

b) Uniform average enrichment.

c) Discharge fuel burnup (MWD/KgU).

d) Wt.% of Gd2O3 (Gadolinia burnable poison) and the number of fuel rods that contain the Gadolinia.

e) The highest actual or calculated value for neutron multiplication factor (Keff) with the racks fully loaded with fuel of the highest anticipated reactivity and pool flooded with unborated water at a temperature corresponding to the highest reactivity.

f) The highest actual or calculated value for K-infinity.

2. Please confirm that each of the limiting criteria for acceptable storage, as listed in Table 4-3 of Enclosure 1 of the submittal, are satisfied in the SFP expansion. If any of the criteria are not satisfied, then identify it and provide justification for acceptability.
