a. With the requirements of the above specification not satisfied, suspend all other fuel I movement within the spent fuel pool and move the non-complying fuel assemblies to allowable locations in the spent fuel pool in accordance with Figure 3.91.

b. The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable.  !

gl)RyglLLANCE F.POUIREMENTS 4.9.13.1 The burnup of each fuel assembly to be stored in the spent fuel pool shall be; '

determined from it's measured burnup history prior to storage in the spent fuel pool. A complete record of each assembly shall be maintained as long as that fuel assembly i is retained on site.  ;

i.

4.9.13.2 After fuel assembly (les) movement into or within the spent fuel pool, the

_ posii t on of the fuel assembly (les) that was (were) moved shall be checked andi independently verified to be in accordance with the criteria in Figure 3.91.  !

'- . j Add the Following Technical Sp4:lfication to Section 3/4.9 REFUELING OPERATIONS

• 3/4.9.14 NEW FUEL ASSEMBLY STORAGE LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.9.14 The new fuel storage vault may be maintained with a fullloading of 90 i assemblies with fuel enrichment up to 3.675 w/o "U. The loading must be reduced i to 81 assemblies for enrichments from 3.675 to 5.0 w/o '"U by limiting the fuel assembly placement in the central column of the New Fuel Storage Vault to every '

other location.

APPLICABILITY: Whenever fuel is in the New Fuel Storage Vault.

l ACTION: ,

a. With the requirements of the above specification not satisfied, suspend all other fuel movement _within the New Fuel Storage Vault and move the non complying fuel assemblies to allowable locations in the New Fuel Storage Vault in accordance with the requirements of the above Specification. .

b.'The provisions of Specification 3.0.3 are not applicable.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS-

. 4.9.14.11 After fuel assembly (les) movement into or within the New Fuel Storage Vault, the' position of the new fuel assembly (les) that was (were) _ moved shall be checked  ;

and independently verified to be In'accordance with the requirements of the above specification.

3/4.9.13 Soent Fuel Assembiv Storace i Restrictions on placement of fuel assembiles of certain enrichments within the l spent fuel poo1is dictated by Figure 3.91. These restrictions ensure that the k,, of <

the spent fuel pool will always remain less than 0.95 assuming the pool to be flooded #

with unborated water. The restrictions delineated in Figure 3.91 and the action statement are consistent with the critical!ty safety analysis performed for the spent fuel ,

pool as documented in the FSAR. '

3/4.9.14 New Fuel Assembly Storace  !

Restrictions on placement of fuel assemblies of certain enrichments within the ,

New Fuel Storage Area is dictated Specification 3/4.9.14. These restrictions ensure that the is, of the New Fuel Storage Area will always remain less than 0.95 assuming the area to be flooded with unborated water. In addition, these restrictions ensure that _'

the k,n of the New Fuel Storage Area will always remain less than 0.98 when aqueous foam moderation is assumed. The restrictions delineated in Specification 3/4.9.14 and the action statement are' consistent with the criticality safety analysis performed for the- ,

spent fuel pool as documented in the FSAR.
