She said she will tell NR that we do not believe that fuel debris (if there is any) is likely to eat through the concrete floor of the spent fuel pool and fall into the next lower floor of the reactor building. She also said that she will forward the attached MELCOR results to NR. She requested that, in the morning, we work to provide NR with our MELCOR input deck and our spent fuel pool reports.

These results show that there are no core concrete interactions, because the low decay power of the spent fuel results in temperatures below the ablation temperature of concrete. I just spoke with Naval Reactors (NR), KAPL, and Bettis via their bridge line. NR is requesting the. following: 1) a written position from the NRC by morning whether we believe fuel debris is likely to eat through the concrete floor of the spent fuel pool and fall into the next lower floor of the reactor building 2) our MELCOR spent fuel pool input deck for Fukushima Daiichi Unit 4 and our results of

There are probably more recent results available, but we got no direction from NRC here. Randy

The model needs a bit of work to convert to 1.8.6 and include latest SOARCA updates but here is the "out-of-the-box" results. I noticed that debris flow blockage was not on and that probably contributes to the debris coolabilty. Let me know if you want anything else.

Enclosed is a pretty good no leak case for Fukushima #4. I was able to use the PB decay routines to specify exactly 548 assemblies at 105 days (3.5 kW/assembly) and 659 assemblies at 500 days (1.5 kW/assembly) for a total pool power of 3.03 MW. If Fukushima Unit 4 was uncovered in a week, it was not a simple boil-off. 2

It would be of great value to confirm a few things. I think I heard yesterday that the SFP racking at Fukushima-4 had recently gone to high density racking. Can anyone confirm this? Also, is there any latest best guess as to water level in FU-4 - yesterday NRC Chairman said it was dry; MELCOR says it covered; helecopter flyby says they saw a reflection of the sky in the top-down view. We would say that unless there was a leak, the fuel should only just now be uncovering???? Randy
