UNITS I AND 2 AND NORTH ANNA UNITS ] AN~DA1.0 IntroductionBy letter dated April 9, 1984. the NRC approved an~ increase in the batchaverage burnup restriction from 37,000 to 45,000 MWO/MTU (megawatt days permetric ton of uranium) for both the Surry and North Anna Power Stations,Subsequently, by letter dated November 25, 1992. the Virginia Electric andPower Company (the licensee) requested relaxation of the batch average burnuprestriction of 45,000 MWD/NTU, as presently Foecified in NRC letter datedApril 9, 1984, for both the Surry and North facilities, and proposedinstead to Itmlt the burnup to limits consistent with the NRC Safetyevaluation report (SER) on a Westinghouse topical ri~ort WCAP-10125, entitled"Extended Burnup Evaluation of Westinghouse Fuel." which was transmitted tothe Westinghouse Electric Corporation by NRC letter dated October 11, 1985.The staff concludes that it is acceptable to raise the limit to 50,000HUD/MTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of any fuel .rodis no greater than 60 IWD/MTU pursuant to the limits specified in the R~tgii (53 FR 6040).2.0 Ly ua~t~onThe WCAP-10125 report described .tthe models and methodology used in the safetyanalys~is of Westinghouse fuel at extended burnup and discusses theexperimental data used to support those models. As stated in the above-citedNRC letter dated October 11, 1985, we found the topical report to beacceptable for referencing in license applications to the extent specified andunder the limitations delineated in the topical report and the associated NRCSER. The staff review of the topical report found that:I. WCAP-10125 not only discussed models, methodology and data, but alsoapplied these models to show that existing "limits continue to be met overa burnup range exceeding that requested by the licensee.2. The models used have been previously reviewed and approved by the NRCwithout explicit burnup limits. The analysis simply applied these.unchanged models over a burnup range not previously considered, but didnot address radiological aspects, which are discussed below.3. Westinghouse examined the application of the existing methodology atextended burnup and identifiled no burnup-dependent phenomena which wouldinvalidate the analyses pierformed.1 931;214PDR ADOCI P PIVMI 11111i1!Illi liil11111111t1111111I IItllii(Il11119312170201 I-2-4. Results of Westinghouse extended burnup Lead Assembly programs at anumber rof Westinghouse plants (including Surry and North Anna) supportthe Westinghouse conclusion (excluding radiological aspects discussedbelow).The $icensee has reviewed the Westinghouse report (gCAP-liOZS) and hasdetermiuned that the results are applicable.The NRC staff performed an independent analys~is of the radrl',oglcalconsequences of extended fuel burnup and concluded that, while there would be.an increased thyroid dose resulting fromthe fuel..handling accident, thecalculated Increase was nct significant. The increased thyroid dose meets theacceptance 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 theNRC SRE, NUREG/CR-5O0g, entitled "Assessment of the Use rt Extended BurnupFuel in Light Water Power Reactors," was published In Febrary 1988 todocument a study conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory for the NRC. Thisreport concluded that there are no significant adverse environmental effects*associated with increases in the burnup level to a maximum rod .average burnupor 60,000 MWD/NTU.3.0 Environmental ConsidertitonsThe staff prepared and published an environmental assessment and findi'~q of nosignificant impact from the use of extended burnup fuel in connercial lightwater reactors in the 'fgdra!1 Reaister (53 FR 6040), whlt¢' concluded thatthere are no significant. adverse radiological or non-radiological impactsassociated with the use of extended burnup fuel and that tts use will notsignificantly affect the quality-of the human environment. Therefore.to 1CFR_ 51_31, theComei_.Ssion has determi!ned that an environmentalimpact statement need not be prepared for this action.4.0 ConiclustonWe have concluded that Increasing of the batch average burnup restriction to50,000 NWDtMTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of anyfuel rod is no greater than 60 MVO1I/NTU for the Surry and North Annafacilities, is acceptable. lnplicit in this evaluation is that the 'fuelmanagement scheme will continue to provide the limiting location of fuelduring subsequent cycles of operation..r.'Inclpal Contributor: B.

UNITS I AND 2 AND NORTH ANNA UNITS ] AN~DA1.0 IntroductionBy letter dated April 9, 1984. the NRC approved an~ increase in the batchaverage burnup restriction from 37,000 to 45,000 MWO/MTU (megawatt days permetric ton of uranium) for both the Surry and North Anna Power Stations,Subsequently, by letter dated November 25, 1992. the Virginia Electric andPower Company (the licensee) requested relaxation of the batch average burnuprestriction of 45,000 MWD/NTU, as presently Foecified in NRC letter datedApril 9, 1984, for both the Surry and North facilities, and proposedinstead to Itmlt the burnup to limits consistent with the NRC Safetyevaluation report (SER) on a Westinghouse topical ri~ort WCAP-10125, entitled"Extended Burnup Evaluation of Westinghouse Fuel." which was transmitted tothe Westinghouse Electric Corporation by NRC letter dated October 11, 1985.The staff concludes that it is acceptable to raise the limit to 50,000HUD/MTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of any fuel .rodis no greater than 60 IWD/MTU pursuant to the limits specified in the R~tgii (53 FR 6040).2.0 Ly ua~t~onThe WCAP-10125 report described .tthe models and methodology used in the safetyanalys~is of Westinghouse fuel at extended burnup and discusses theexperimental data used to support those models. As stated in the above-citedNRC letter dated October 11, 1985, we found the topical report to beacceptable for referencing in license applications to the extent specified andunder the limitations delineated in the topical report and the associated NRCSER. The staff review of the topical report found that:I. WCAP-10125 not only discussed models, methodology and data, but alsoapplied these models to show that existing "limits continue to be met overa burnup range exceeding that requested by the licensee.2. The models used have been previously reviewed and approved by the NRCwithout explicit burnup limits. The analysis simply applied these.unchanged models over a burnup range not previously considered, but didnot address radiological aspects, which are discussed below.3. Westinghouse examined the application of the existing methodology atextended burnup and identifiled no burnup-dependent phenomena which wouldinvalidate the analyses pierformed.1 931;214PDR ADOCI P PIVMI 11111i1!Illi liil11111111t1111111I IItllii(Il11119312170201 I-2-4. Results of Westinghouse extended burnup Lead Assembly programs at anumber rof Westinghouse plants (including Surry and North Anna) supportthe Westinghouse conclusion (excluding radiological aspects discussedbelow).The $icensee has reviewed the Westinghouse report (gCAP-liOZS) and hasdetermiuned that the results are applicable.The NRC staff performed an independent analys~is of the radrl',oglcalconsequences of extended fuel burnup and concluded that, while there would be.an increased thyroid dose resulting fromthe fuel..handling accident, thecalculated Increase was nct significant. The increased thyroid dose meets theacceptance 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 theNRC SRE, NUREG/CR-5O0g, entitled "Assessment of the Use rt Extended BurnupFuel in Light Water Power Reactors," was published In Febrary 1988 todocument a study conducted by Pacific Northwest Laboratory for the NRC. Thisreport concluded that there are no significant adverse environmental effects*associated with increases in the burnup level to a maximum rod .average burnupor 60,000 MWD/NTU.3.0 Environmental ConsidertitonsThe staff prepared and published an environmental assessment and findi'~q of nosignificant impact from the use of extended burnup fuel in connercial lightwater reactors in the 'fgdra!1 Reaister (53 FR 6040), whlt¢' concluded thatthere are no significant. adverse radiological or non-radiological impactsassociated with the use of extended burnup fuel and that tts use will notsignificantly affect the quality-of the human environment. Therefore.to 1CFR_ 51_31, theComei_.Ssion has determi!ned that an environmentalimpact statement need not be prepared for this action.4.0 ConiclustonWe have concluded that Increasing of the batch average burnup restriction to50,000 NWDtMTU, or above, as long as the maximum rod average burnup of anyfuel rod is no greater than 60 MVO1I/NTU for the Surry and North Annafacilities, is acceptable. lnplicit in this evaluation is that the 'fuelmanagement scheme will continue to provide the limiting location of fuelduring subsequent cycles of operation..r.'Inclpal Contributor: B.
