PWR FUEL ASSEMBLY CHARACTERISTICS Notes:
: 1. All dimensions are design nominal values. Maximum and minimum dimensions are specified to bound variations in design nominal values among fuel assemblies within a given array/class.
: 2. Deleted.
: 3. Design initial uranium weight is the nominal uranium weight specified for each assembly by the fuel manufacturer or reactor user. For each PWR fuel assembly, the total uranium weight limit specified in this table may be increased up to 2.0 percent for comparison with users fuel records.
: 4. Each guide tube replaces four fuel rods.
: 5. Soluble boron concentration per LCO 3.3.1.
: 6. This fuel assembly array/class includes only the Indian Point Unit 1 fuel assembly.
This fuel assembly has two pitches in different sectors of the assembly. These pitches are 0.441 inches and 0.453 inches.
: 7. For those MPCs loaded with both INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES and DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES or FUEL DEBRIS, the maximum initial enrichment of the INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES, DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES and FUEL DEBRIS is 4.0 wt.% 235U.
: 8. Annular fuel pellets are allowed in the top and bottom 12" of the active fuel length.
: 9. This fuel assembly array/class can only be loaded in MPC-32.
: 10. One Instrument Tube and eight Guide Bars (Solid ZR).
: 11. Any number of fuel rods in an assembly can be replaced by irradiated or unirradiated Steel or Zirconia rods. If the rods are irradiated, the site specific dose and dose rate analyses performed under 10 CFR 72.212 should include considerations for the presence of such rods.

Approved Contents 2.0 2.4.3      Burnup Limits as a Function of Cooling Time for ZR-Clad Fuel The maximum allowable fuel assembly average burnup varies with the following parameters:
Minimum fuel assembly cooling time Maximum fuel assembly decay heat Minimum fuel assembly average enrichment The maximum allowable ZR-clad fuel assembly average burnup for a given MINIMUM ENRICHMENT is calculated as described below for minimum cooling times between 2 and 40 years using the maximum permissible decay heat determined in Section 2.4.1 or 2.4.2. Different fuel assembly average burnup limits may be calculated for different minimum enrichments (by individual fuel assembly) for use in choosing the fuel assemblies to be loaded into a given MPC.
2.4.3.1  Choose a fuel assembly minimum enrichment, E235.
2.4.3.2  Calculate the maximum allowable fuel assembly average burnup for a minimum cooling time between 2 and 40 years using the equation below.
Bu = (A x q) + (B x q2) + (C x q3) + [D x (E235)2] + (E x q x E235) + (F x q2 x E235) + G Where:
Bu = Maximum allowable average burnup per fuel assembly (MWD/MTU) q=    Maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location determined in Section 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 (kW)
E235 =Minimum fuel assembly average enrichment (wt. % 235U)
(e.g., for 4.05 wt.%, use 4.05)
A through G = Coefficients from Tables 2.4-3 and 2.4-4 for the applicable fuel assembly array/class and minimum cooling time 2.4.3.3  Calculated burnup limits shall be rounded down to the nearest integer.
2.4.3.4  Calculated burnup limits greater than 68,200 MWD/MTU for PWR fuel and 65,000 MWD/MTU for BWR must be reduced to be equal to these values.
2.4.3.5  Linear interpolation of calculated burnups between cooling times for a given fuel assembly maximum decay heat and minimum enrichment is permitted. For example, the allowable burnup for a cooling time of 4.5 years may be interpolated between those burnups calculated for 4 year and 5 years.

The weld is designed as a full penetration weld that receives VT and RT or UT, as well as final surface PT examinations.
Because the MPC shell design thickness is considerably larger than the minimum thickness required by the Code, a reinforcing fillet weld that would intrude into the MPC cavity space is not included. Not including this fillet weld provides for a higher quality radiographic examination of the full penetration weld.
From the standpoint of stress analysis, the fillet weld serves to reduce the local bending stress (secondary stress) produced by the gross structural discontinuity defined by the flat plate/shell junction. In the MPC design, the shell and baseplate thicknesses are well beyond that required to meet their respective membrane stress intensity limits.

Bolted joints that are subject to shear loads in accident conditions are qualified by appropriate stress analysis. Larger bolt-to-hole clearances help ensure more efficient operations in making these bolted connections, thereby minimizing time spent by operations personnel in a radiation area. Additionally, larger bolt-to-hole clearances allow interchangeability of the lids from one particular fabricated cask to another.

Design Features 3.0 DESIGN FEATURES (continued) 3.6    Forced Helium Dehydration System 3.6.1    System Description Use of a forced helium dehydration (FHD) system, (a closed-loop system) is an alternative to vacuum drying the MPC for moderate burnup fuel (
45,000 MWD/MTU) with lower MPC heat load and for drying MPCs containing one or more high burnup fuel assemblies or higher MPC heat loads as indicated in Appendix A Table 3-1. The FHD system shall be designed for normal operation (i.e., excluding startup and shutdown ramps) in accordance with the criteria in Section 3.6.2.
3.6.2    Design Criteria 3.6.2.1 The temperature of the helium gas in the MPC shall be at least 15oF higher than the saturation temperature at coincident pressure.
3.6.2.2 The pressure in the MPC cavity space shall be  60.3 psig (75 psia) during drying. Backfill pressures shall be as described in Appendix A.
3.6.2.3 The hourly recirculation rate of helium shall be  10 times the nominal helium mass backfilled into the MPC for fuel storage operations.
3.6.2.4 The partial pressure of the water vapor in the MPC cavity will not exceed 3 torr. The limit is met if the gas temperature at the demoisturizer outlet is verified by measurement to remain  21oF for a period of 30 minutes or if the dew point of the gas exiting the MPC is verified by measurement to remain  22.9oF for  30 minutes.
3.6.2.5 The condensing module shall be designed to de-vaporize the recirculating helium gas to a dew point  120oF.
3.6.2.6 The demoisturizing module shall be configured to be introduced into its helium conditioning function after the condensing module has been operated for the required length of time to assure that the bulk moisture vaporization in the MPC (defined as Phase 1 in FSAR Appendix 2.B) has been completed.
3.6.2.7 The helium circulator shall be sized to effect the minimum flow rate of circulation required by these design criteria.
3.6.2.8 The pre-heater module shall be engineered to ensure that the temperature of the helium gas in the MPC meets these design criteria.

Design Features 3.0 DESIGN FEATURES (continued) 3.6    Forced Helium Dehydration System (continued) 3.6.3    Fuel Cladding Temperature A steady-state thermal analysis of the MPC under the forced helium flow scenario shall be performed using the methodology described in HI-STORM 100 FSAR Section 4.4, with due recognition of the forced convection process during FHD system operation. This analysis shall demonstrate that the peak temperature of the fuel cladding, under the most adverse condition of FHD system operation, is below the peak cladding temperature limit for normal conditions of storage for the applicable fuel type (PWR or BWR) and cooling time at the start of dry storage.
3.6.4    Pressure Monitoring During FHD Malfunction During an FHD malfunction event, described in HI-STORM 100 FSAR Chapter 11 as a loss of helium circulation, the system pressure must be monitored to ensure that the conditions listed therein are met.

Design Features 3.0 DESIGN FEATURES (continued) 3.7    Supplemental Cooling System 3.7.1    System Description A supplemental cooling system (SCS) is an external system for cooling the MPC inside the HI-TRAC transfer cask during on-site transport. The SCS is required for transport of high burnup fuel under certain heat load conditions defined in Table 3-3. The SCS shall be designed for normal operation (i.e., excluding startup and shutdown ramps) in accordance with the criteria in Section 3.7.2.
3.7.2 Design Criteria 3.7.2.1 Not Used.
3.7.2.2 If water is used as the coolant, the system shall be sized to limit the coolant temperature to below 180&#xba;F under steady-state conditions for the design basis heat load at an ambient air temperature of 110&#xba;F. Any electric motors shall have a backup power supply for uninterrupted operation.
3.7.2.3 The system shall utilize a contamination-free fluid medium in contact with the external surfaces of the MPC and inside surfaces of the HI -TRAC transfer cask to minimize corrosion.
3.7.2.4 All passive components such as tubular heat exchangers, manually operated valves and fittings shall be designed to applicable standards (TEMA, ANSI).
3.7.2.5 The heat dissipation capacity of the SCS shall be equal to or greater than the minimum necessary to ensure that the peak cladding temperature is below 400&#xba;C (752&#xba;F). All heat transfer surfaces in heat exchangers shall be assumed to be fouled to the maximum limits specified in a widely used heat exchange equipment standard such as the Standards of Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association.
3.7.2.6 The coolant utilized to extract heat from the MPC shall be high purity water or air. Antifreeze may be used to prevent water from freezing if warranted by operating conditions. (continued)

Design Features 3.0 DESIGN FEATURES (continued) 3.8    Combustible Gas Monitoring During MPC Lid Welding and Cutting During MPC lid-to-shell welding and cutting operations, combustible gas monitoring of the space under the MPC lid is required, to ensure that there is no combustible mixture present.
3.9    Environmental Temperature Requirements TRANSPORT OPERATIONS operations involving the HI-TRAC transfer cask can be carried out if the reference ambient temperature (three day average around the cask) is above  0&deg;F and below the Threshold Temperature of 110 deg. F ambient temperature, applicable during HI-TRAC transfer operations inside the 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52 structural boundary and 90 deg. F outside of it. The determination of the Threshold Temperature compliance shall be made based on the best available thermal data for the site.
If the reference ambient temperature exceeds the corresponding Threshold Temperature then a site specific analysis shall be performed using the actual heat load and reference ambient temperature equal to the three day average to ensure that the steady state peak fuel cladding temperature will remain below the 400&deg;C limit. If the peak fuel cladding temperature exceeds 400&deg;C limit then the operation of a Supplemental Cooling System (SCS) in accordance with LCO 3.1.4 is mandatory.
SCS operation is mandatory if site data is not available or if a user elects to deploy Supplemental Cooling in lieu of site ambient temperature evaluation.
