The spent fuel racks have been analyzed in accordance with the mothodology contained in WCAP-14416-NP-A, Westinghouse Spent Fuel Rack Criticality Analysis 1 Hethodology", Revision 1, November, 1996. This methodology ensures that the spent q fuel rack multiplication factor, koff As less than 0.95, a= recommended by ANSI

$7.2-1983 and the guidance contained in NRC Letter to All Power Reactor Licensees from B. K. Grimes, *0T Position for Review and Acceptance of Spent Fuel Storage and Handling Applications", April 14, 1978. The codes, methods, and techniques

, contained in the methodology are t'ed to satisfy this kerg criterion. The spent 4

fuel storage racks are analysed to allow storage of all Westinghouse 17X17 fuel assemblies with nominal enrichments up to 5.0 w/o U-235 utilizing credit for checkerboard configurations, burnup, Integral Fuel Burnable Absorbers, and soluble boron, to ensure that k,ff is maintained 5 0.95, including uncertainties, tolerances, and accident conditions. In addition, the opent fuel pool keff is maintained < 1.0 incliding uncertainties and tolerances on a 95/95 basis without soluble boron. No credt.t is taken for the presence of Boraflex absorber in any of

, these analyses.

The soluble boren concentration required to maintain keff 5 0.95 under normal conditions is 400 ppn.

The following storage configurations and enrichment limits were evaluated in the spent fuel rack criticality analysis Westinghouse 17X17 fuel assemblies with nominal enrichments less than or equal 2.15 w/o U-235 can be stored in any Jell location as shown in Figure 5.6-2. Fuel assemblies with initial nominal enrichments greater than these limits must satisfy a minimum burnup requirement as s'vwn in Figure 3.7 1.

Westinghouse 17X17 fuel assemblies with nominal enrichments less than or equa) to 5.0 w/o U-235 can be stored in a 2 out of 4 checkerboard arrangement as shown in Figure 5.6-2. In the 2 out of 4 checkerboard storage arrangement, 2 fuel a9semblics can be stored corner adjacent with 2 empty storage cells.

Westinghouse 17X17 fuel assemblies can be stored in a burned / fresh checkerboard arrangement of a 2X2 matrix of storage cells as shown in Figure 5.6-2. In the burned / fresh 2X2 checkerboard arrangement, three of the fuel assemblies must ha've an initial nominal enrichment less than or equal to 1.6 w/o U-235, or satisfy a minimum burnup requirement for higher initial enrichments as shown in Figure 5.6-

1. The fourth fuel assembly must have an initial nominal enrichment less than or equal to 3.9 w/o U-235, or satisfy a minimum Integral Fuel Burnable Absorber requirement for higher initial enricpments to maintain the reference fuel assembly
k. less than or equal to 1.455 at 68 F.

Eleven damaged Westinghouse 17X17 fuel assemblies can be stored in a 12 storage cell configuration surrounded by empty cells as shown in Figure 5.6-6. The eleven fuel assemblies contain a nominal enrichment of 3.0 w/o U-235.

The most limiting acciderL with respect to the storage configurations assumed in the spent fuel rack criticality analysis is the misplacement of a 5.0 w/o U-235 fuel assembly into an empty storage cell location in the 2 out of 4 checkerboard storage arrangement. The amount of soluble boron required to maintain keff less than 0.95 due to this fuel mieload accident in 850 ppm.

accident.

, Specification 5.6.1.1 b. requires that a boron concentration of 400 ppm in the spent fuel pool will maintain ;egt 5 0.95. A cpent fuel pool boron dilution analysis was performed to determine that sufficient time is available to detect and mitigate dilution of the spent fuel pool prior to exceeding the kerf design 4 basis limit of 0.95. The spent fuel pool boron dilution analysis concluded that l an inadvertent or unplanned event that would result in a dilution of the spent fuel pool boron concentration from 2000 ppm to 400 ppm is not a credible event.
