Appendix C: References. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Tritium-producing burnable absorber rods (TPBARs) used in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Tritium Readiness Program are designed to produce tritium when placed in a Westinghouse or Framatome 17x17 fuel assembly and irradiated in a pressurized water reactor (PWR). Under the terms of the Joint DOE/NRC Memorandum of Understanding of May 22, 1996, NRC provided review and consultation services to assist DOE in assessing and resolving technical and licensing issues associated with the production of tritium in a commercial light-water reactor. The staff's review of the DOE topical report on the tritium production core and the staff's conclusions regarding the acceptability of irradiating up to approximately 3300 TPBARS in a core reload are documented in this safety evaluation. The staff identified a number of interface items that needed to be addressed by a licensee referencing the "Tritium Production Core Topical Report" in its plant-specific application for authorization to produced tritium for DOE. These are listed in Section 5 of this report. Condition: Very good.
