Dear Sir; I question the safety design o f the Brown's Ferry Nuclear P1, ant in the following arecs. Although I think some calculations about the drop-ping of a spent fuel bundle and breaka'ge of came were made, I an concerned
,
about the possibility of a plane crashing accidently or by terrorists, into the secondary containment with spent fuel outside the reactor. I think the dropped fuel accident assumes that the secondary contain=ent remains intact. What if the plane ca=c through the roof into the reactor core or into the spent fuel pool? I don't think the FSAR included this possibility or the possibility of a plane crash at the intake structure.
g Such a crash could possibly cut off all sources of cooling water with the
'
exception of the condensate storage tanks. Of course a fire in the intake tunnel or building ci;;ht possibly result in the dame cutoff. With all the redundancy and seperatione of systems, I still don't understand why all the intake water pu=p wiring for all 3 units was routed through the same cotson tunnel. I know that temporary wiring and pumps could i:e installed on such e an occasion. Nihat I do not know is whether the design pressure of the pri=ary containment is high enough to contain the pressure until such temporary =easures were effected. Do you.know?
.
Thank You,
.
