SCHEDULE C: FUEL DATA

C.1 Instructions for Data On Discharged Fuel Assemblies and Non-Fuel Components Integral to the Assembly

The Form GC-859 survey collects data on an assembly-specific basis to ensure that all owners have been properly allocated spent nuclear fuel acceptance capacity in the Acceptance Priority Ranking & Annual Capacity Report (APR/ACR). For this reason, respondents are requested to report all discharged fuel including spent nuclear fuel that has been shipped/transferred to another storage site location. Report permanently discharged fuel only. If you are not certain if an assembly will be reinserted, prioritization rules suggest that this is in the utility’s interest to report it as permanently discharged (and modify the total burnup, last cycle number, and last cycle shutdown date later if the assembly is subsequently reinserted).

The assembly specific data to be reported in C.1.1 are as follows:

Column		Data Element		Description
1		Assembly Identifier		The unique operator-assigned identifier or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) identifier. The identifier indicated as the “Primary” assembly identifier should be used throughout the survey form.
2		Initial Heavy Metal Content		The initial heavy metal content (uranium) of the fuel assembly in kilograms (reported to the nearest thousandth of a kilogram).
3		Initial Enrichment		The initial enrichment of the assembly (reported to the nearest hundredth of a percent). Report the maximum Planar Initial Enrichment.
4		Mixed Oxide Fuel Data		Check box and report MOX data (plutonium) in comments, if necessary.
5		Discharge Burnup		The assembly burnup at discharge (reported in megawatt days thermal per metric ton of (initially loaded) uranium (MWDt/MTU)).
6		Last Cycle Number		The cycle number (including subcycles) for the assembly’s final cycle of irradiation.
7		Fuel Assembly Type Code		Select the Fuel Assembly Type Code for each assembly from the dropdown menu and Appendix E. Alternatively, respondents can use Schedule C.1.3 to report Fuel Assembly Type Codes by cycle and fuel batch. See Schedule C.1.3 for instructions.
8		Assembly Status		Check the appropriate status indicators from the following table. Check all that apply.
	Status Identifier		Description
	8A		Non-standard assembly.1, 2
	8B		Failed fuel.3
	8C		Containerized assembly; the assembly has been placed in a single-element container. Do not report assemblies that have been placed into a multi-element canister as containerized.
	8D		Fuel rods have been removed from the original assembly.
	8E		Fueled replacement rods have been inserted into the assembly (8D must also be checked for all 8E assemblies).
	8F		Stainless steel or other non-fueled replacement rods have been inserted into the assembly (8D must also be checked for all 8F assemblies).
	8G		Assembly has special characteristics that do not fall into the previous categories. Provide a description of these characteristics in the comment box.

9

Storage Location

The pool or dry storage site identifier (from Appendix C, “Reactor and Spent Fuel Storage Site Identification Codes”) corresponding to the current storage location of the assembly.

For each assembly in which non-fuel components (NFC) are stored, select each type of non-fuel component. Estimate the weight of the assembly including all the non-fuel components. If the storage of non-fuel components within an assembly classifies that assembly as non-standard according to Appendix E of the Standard Contract, check the Yes box in the Non-standard Assembly column. For example, changes to an assembly’s maximum physical dimensions due to the NFC may cause it to be classified as non-standard. The non-fuel component integral to an assembly specific data to be reported in C.1.1 are as follows:

Column	Data Element	Description
10	Non-fuel Component1	The type of non-fuel component that is integral to that assembly.
11	Non-fuel Component Identifier	The alphanumeric characters which identified the non-fuel component that is integral to that assembly.
12	Estimated Total Weight	The estimated total weight of the non-fuel component plus assembly, reported in pounds.

^1. Standard assembly, non-standard assembly, and non-fuel component as defined in the Standard Contract Appendix E.

^2. Respondents need not report assemblies in the spent fuel pool as non-standard if the minimum cooling time (Nonstandard Fuel Class NS-3) is not met as this can be determined by the Last Cycle shutdown date.

^3. Failed Fuel Classes F-1 and F-3 are defined in the Standard Contract Appendix E. For Class F-2 Radioactive “Leakage” use the definition consistent with NRC NUREG-1617, Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel: “Damaged Spent Nuclear Fuel: spent nuclear fuel with known or suspected cladding defects greater than a hairline crack or a pinhole leak.”

Note: A copy of the Standard Contract is provided in Appendix B.

C.1.2 Fuel Cycle History (Voluntary)

For all assemblies irradiated in this reactor, including each assembly listed in Table C.1.1, identify the cycles during which the assembly was irradiated in the reactor core and the cumulative assembly burnup for each cycle. Include data for all discharged assemblies. The Assembly Identifier must match the primary assembly identifier in Section C.1.1 of the current or prior data collection, whichever is applicable.

Providing cycle numbers and cumulative burnup data for each assembly is voluntary. To the extent that a respondent provides complete, assembly level cumulative burnup data by cycle number, the utility is considered to have satisfied the utility’s obligation under the Standard Contract for the Disposal of Spent Nuclear Fuel and/or High-Level Radioactive Waste (10 CFR 961) Appendix F - Detailed Description of Purchaser's Fuel subsection IV regarding assembly level “irradiation history.”

C.1.3 Fuel Assembly Type Code

Fuel Assembly Types are used to describe a combination of fuel vendor, lattice size, and fuel features. The Fuel Assembly Type is based on the Oak Ridge National Lab report ORNL/TM-10901 “A Classification Scheme for LWR Fuel Assemblies” November 1988. Fuel Assembly Type is identified via the use of Fuel Assembly Type Codes which are provided in Appendix E.

Within the GC-859 software, Fuel Assembly Type Code selection is limited to the codes that are appropriate for each individual reactor, so that only a limited number of choices are available. Because most reloads will consist of only one or two Fuel Assembly Types, C.1.3 simplifies the process by removing the need to report Fuel Assembly Types on an individual assembly basis.

Respondents should report the identification of Fuel Assembly Types for batches of fuel as assemblies are initially loaded into the reactor core. The associated range of assembly IDs and number of assemblies is also requested in order for EIA to accurately transfer the Fuel Assembly Type Codes into Table C.1.1.

Initial Cycle in Core	Assembly ID 1 Range	Number of Assemblies	Fuel Assembly Type Code 2, 3, 4
1. Assembly Identifier must match the primary assembly identifier in Section C.1.1 of the current or prior data collection, whichever is applicable. 2. Select the Fuel Assembly Type Code from Appendix E or the drop-down menu. 3. If the Fuel Assembly Type Code is not listed in Appendix E, use the ‘Other’ code provided for each reactor design and provide assembly details in the comments. 4. The following reactors have their own unique codes: South Texas Units 1 and 2, Ft. Calhoun, Palisades, and St. Lucie Unit 2. See Appendix E.10

Fuel Assembly Type data was not collected in the 2013 GC-859 Survey. As a result, Fuel Assembly Types are to be reported for all assemblies discharged from January 1, 2003 – June 30, 2013. For discharges that are early in this range, the Initial Cycle in Core may extend back several cycles. For example, if Cycle 10 shutdown in January 2003 and it contained three regions of fuel with LTAs in Cycle 10, input to Table C.1.3 for the first few cycles may look like the following:

Example C.1.3 Fuel Assembly Type Code input
Initial Cycle In Core	Assembly ID Range	Number of Assemblies	Fuel Assembly Type Code
8	K01 – K80	80	C1414WT
9	L01 – L68	68	C1414WT
10	M01 - M12, M17 - M76	72	C1414WT
10	M13 – M16	4	C14_OTH
11	N01 – N80	80	C1414WT

Fuel Assembly Type Codes for fuel discharged from July, 1 2013 - December 31, 2017 may also be entered in Schedule C.1.3 if not already entered in Schedule C.1.1..

APPENDIX D – GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Activated Metals: Activated metals result from decommissioning nuclear reactors. Portions of the reactor assembly and other components near the nuclear fuel are activated by neutrons during reactor operations, producing high concentrations of radionuclides. The major radionuclides in these wastes are typically cobalt-60, nickel-63, niobium-94, and carbon-14.

ANSI Assembly Identifier: The serial numbering scheme adopted by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to ensure uniqueness of an assembly serial number.

Assembly Identifier: A unique string of alphanumeric characters which identifies an assembly, bundle, or canister for a specific reactor in which it has been irradiated. This identifier should be consistent with other submissions to the DOE/NRC, i.e., previous Form RW-859 and DOE/NRC Form 741.

Average Assembly Weight: Average initial loading weight in kilograms (kg) of heavy metal of fresh fuel assemblies in a batch before they are initially inserted into the reactor core.

Average Discharge Burnup: The average amount of energy produced by each assembly in a batch of spent fuel assemblies discharged from a nuclear reactor, reported in thousand megawatt days thermal per metric ton of uranium (MWDt/MTU).

Average Initial Enrichment: Average initial enrichment for a fresh fuel assembly as speci­fied and ordered in fuel cycle planning. This average should include axial blankets, and axially and radially zoned enrichments.

Basket: An open container into which fuel and/or non-fuel components including rods, sections of rods, fuel pellets, garbage, debris, etc., are placed. Baskets are usually defined as rodlet or garbage and debris containers with dimensions less than that of a fuel assembly.

Batch: A batch (or group) is a logical grouping of assemblies with similar character­istics. All assemblies in a batch have the same initial average enrich­ment, the same cycle/reactor history, the same current location, the same burnup, the same owner, and the same assembly design characteristics.

Boiling Water Reactor (BWR): A light water reactor in which water, used as both coolant and moderator, is allowed to boil in the core. The resulting steam is used directly to drive a turbine.

Burnup: Amount of thermal energy generated per unit mass of fuel, measured in units of megawatt days thermal per initial metric ton of uranium (MWD_t/MTU).

Canister: A single assembly canister is defined as any container designed to confine waste that may be delivered to a DOE facility. A canister has dimensions that fit within the envelope defined by the Standard Contract and can be handled similar to an assembly.

Cell: A physical position in a rack in a storage pool or a dry storage module, which is intended to be occupied by an assembly or equivalent (that is, a canister or an assembly skeleton).

Consolidated Fuel: Fuel rods are removed from an assembly and placed into a canister in a grid with spacing closer than that of an assembly.

Core: The place in the reactor in which the nuclear fuel is irradiated and thermal energy is generated.

Core Size: The fixed number of fuel assemblies that can be irradiated at any one time in the reactor core.

Current Installed Capacity: Total number of assembly storage cells in the spent nuclear fuel pool. Both occupied and unoccupied cells are included in the current capacity.

Current Inventory: Number of spent nuclear fuel assemblies stored at a given site or spent nuclear fuel pool, at a given point in time.

Cycle: For the purposes of this form, a cycle is the time period beginning with the startup of a reactor after refueling (or initial fueling) to the time the reactor is considered subcritical. Refueling times should not be included in cycle lengths.

DOE Facility: The term DOE facility means a facility operated by or on behalf of DOE for the purpose of disposing of spent nuclear fuel and/or high-level radioactive waste, or such other facility(ies) to which spent nuclear fuel and/ or high-level radioactive waste may be shipped by DOE prior to its transportation to a disposal facility.

Enrichment: A nuclear fuel cycle process in which the concentration of fissionable uranium is increased above its natural level. Enrichment is the process that changes the isotopic ratio in a material.

Failed Fuel: Failed Fuel Class F-1 Visual Failure or Damage and Class F-3 Encapsulated are defined in the Standard Contract Appendix E. For Class F-2 Radioactive “Leakage” use the definition consistent with NRC NUREG-1617, Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Spent Nuclear Fuel: “Damaged Spent Nuclear Fuel: spent nuclear fuel with known or suspected cladding defects greater than a hairline crack or a pinhole leak”

Fuel Assembly: The basic unit of nuclear fuel. Uranium dioxide (UO₂) pellets are encased in cladding to form a fuel rod. Fuel rods are structurally connected to form a fuel assembly.

Fuel Cycle: The length of time a reactor is operated between refueling, typically 18 to 24 months, including the refueling time, measured from the startup of one cycle to the startup of the following cycle.

Greater Than Class C (GTCC) Waste: Greater-Than-Class-C waste (GTCC) is generated by licensees of the NRC. The waste has concentrations of certain radionuclides above the Class C limits as stated in 10 CFR 61.55. Most forms of GTCC waste are generated by routine operations at nuclear power plants. Examples of GTCC waste could include activated metal hardware (e.g., nuclear power reactor control rods), spent fuel disassembly hardware, ion exchange resins, filters and evaporator residues.

High-Level Radioactive Waste (HLW): The highly radioactive materials produced as byproducts of fuel reprocessing or of the reactions that occur inside nuclear reactors. HLW includes irradiated spent nuclear fuel discharged from commercial nuclear power reactors, highly radioactive liquid and solid materials resulting from the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, and other highly radioactive materials that the NRC may determine require permanent isolation.

High-Temperature, Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR): A reactor that is cooled by helium and moderated by graphite.

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI): A dry storage complex designed and constructed for the interim storage of spent nuclear fuel; solid, reactor-related, greater than Class C waste; and other associated radioactive materials. A spent fuel storage facility may be considered independent, even if it is located on the site of another NRC-licensed facility.

Initial Enrichment: The isotopic percentage of uranium-235 or plutonium, by weight, that is present in nuclear fuel.

Initial Loading Weight: Average weight in kilograms (kg) of heavy metal in a fresh fuel assembly before it is inserted into the reactor core.

Lattice Size: Lattice is the arrangement or array of fuel rods in a nuclear fuel assembly.

Light Water Reactor (LWR): A nuclear reactor that uses water as the primary coolant and moderator, with slightly enriched uranium as fuel. There are two types of commercial light water reactors: the boiling water reactor (BWR) and the pressurized water reactor (PWR).

NRC Licensed Site Capacity: Maximum number of spent nuclear fuel assembly and canister slots licensed for use at a given site or spent nuclear fuel pool, as licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Nuclear Fuel: Fissionable materials that are enriched to such a composition that when placed in a nuclear reactor will support a self-sustaining fission chain reaction, producing heat in a controlled manner for process use.

Permanently Discharged Fuel: Spent nuclear fuel for which there are no plans for reinsertion in the reactor core.

Planar Initial Enrichment: The average of the distributed fuel rod initial enrichments within a given axial plane of the assembly lattice.

Pool Site: One or more spent fuel storage pools, which have a single cask loading area. Dry cask storage areas are considered separate sites.

Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR): A light water reactor in which heat is transferred from the core to a heat exchanger via water kept under high pressure, so that high temperatures can be maintained in the primary system without boiling the water. Steam is generated in a secondary circuit.

Process Waste: Process and other waste includes Greater than Class C (GTCC) waste that is not activated metals or sealed sources. It consists of contaminated equipment, debris, trash, filters, resins, scrap metal, and decontamination and decommissioning waste.

Radioactivity: The rate at which radioactive material emits radiation, stated in terms of the number of nuclear disintegrations occurring per unit of time; the basic unit of radioactivity is the curie.

Radionuclide: An unstable isotope of an element that decays or disintegrates spontaneously, thereby emitting radiation. Approximately 5,000 natural and artificial radioisotopes have been identified.

Reconstituted Fuel: Spent nuclear fuel assembly which has had a defective rod or rods removed and replaced with another rod or rods. The recipient fuel assembly is intended to be reinserted into a subsequent fuel cycle.

Reconstructed Assembly: Spent nuclear fuel assembly which has fuel rods transferred from a damaged assembly to a new assembly skeleton.

Refueling: The process of shutting down a reactor and replacing some of the spent nuclear fuel assemblies.

Reinserted Fuel: Irradiated fuel that is discharged in one cycle and inserted in the same reactor during a subsequent refueling. In a few cases, fuel discharged from one reactor has been used to fuel a different reactor.

Shutdown Date: Day, month, and year of shutdown for fuel discharge and refueling. The date should be the point at which the reactor became subcritical.

Source Assembly: The originating fuel assembly from which fuel rods used in consolidation, reconstitution, or reconstruction are obtained.

Spent Fuel Disassembly (SFD) Hardware: The skeleton of a fuel assembly after the fuel rods have been removed. Generally, SFD hardware for PWR assemblies includes guide tubes; instrument tubes; top and bottom nozzles; grid spacers; hold-down springs; and attachment components, such as nuts and locking caps. For BWR fuel assemblies, SFD hardware includes the top and bottom tie plates, compression springs for individual fuel rods, grid spacers, and water rods.

Standard Contract: The agreement (as set forth in 10 CFR Part 961.11) between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the owners or generators of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste.

Standard Fuel: As defined in the Standard Contract Appendix E Section A.1.a

Storage Site ID: Spent nuclear fuel storage pool or dry cask storage facility, usually located at the reactor site, as licensed by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).

Temporarily Discharged Fuel: Fuel which was irradiated in the previous fuel cycle (cycle N) and not in the following fuel cycle (cycle N+1), and for which there are definite plans to irradiate in a subsequent fuel cycle.
