NUREG-1537, Part 2 - NRC

Standard Review Plan and Acceptance Criteria
for IEU to LEU Conversion
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITY
1.1 Introduction
The reviewer should verify that the introduction contains a brief overview of the
plans for conversion of the reactor from lIEU to LEU fuel, and that it s arize
the physical nuclear, and operational characteristics of the facility with the LEU
fuel. It should provide reference to where in the SAR changes are discussed.
Additionally, it should provide comparisons and references to the exsting reactor
described in the lIEU SAR. The reviewer should verify that Sections 1.1 through
1.5 establish an outline of the primaiy considerations for conversion to LEU fuel.
1.2 Summary and Conclusions of Principal Safety
Considerations
The reviewer should confirm that this' section briefly discusses all significant issues
that were considered in the plansandd designs for converting the reactor to LEU .
fuel. All issues with safely significance should be emphasized, especially if any
margins in the safety analysis would be decreased.
Changes in the safety analyses should be discussed briefly, with references to the
sections in which the detailed analyses are presented and in which the HEU- and
LEU-fueled reactor operating characteristics are directly compared.
1.3 Summary of Reactor Facility Changes
The reviewer should confirm that this section summarizes any proposed changes to
the site and the reactor faciity for the convsion to LEU fuel. Both the HEU and
the LEU fuel should be briefly described and compared. References should be
provided for the detailed fuel design, performance discussions, and other
significant documents. If the proposed LEU fuel has been reviewed and evauted
by NRC, the acceptance documents should be referenced (e.g., NUREG-1281,
-1282, or -1313). The reviewer should verify that this brief discussion explains
why the proposed LEU fuel is appropriate for the subject reactor and that the
discussion addresses other proposed changes to the reactor and states why the
change's are required by the f1uel conversion.
