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 to account for manufacturers tolerances.

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) 10.11. 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.
