IMPROPER POSITION REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Organization responsible for the review of transient and accident analyses for PWRs/BWRs Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW The review of fuel-loading errors considers: 1. The spectrum of misloading events analyzed. A sufficient number of fuel-loading errors must be studied by the applicant and presented to show that the worst situation undetectable by incore instrumentation has been identified. The kinds of errors considered should include loading of one or more fuel assemblies into improper locations and, where physically possible, with incorrect orientation. For those reactors in which burnable poison or fuel rods are added to or removed from fuel assemblies at the plant, errors in these processes must be considered. 2. Changes in the power distribution and increased local power density. 3. The provisions made to search for loading errors at the beginning of each fuel cycle. 4. The effect of misloaded fuel on nuclear design parameters, the detection of fuel-loading errors, and any operational restrictions that would assist in staying within fuel rod failure limits. 15.4.7-2 Revision 2 - March 2007 5. COL Action Items and Certification Requirements and Restrictions. For a DC application, the review will also address COL action items and requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters). For a COL application referencing a DC, a COL applicant must address COL action items (referred to as COL license information in certain DCs) included in the referenced DC. Additionally, a COL applicant must address requirements and restrictions (e.g., interface requirements and site parameters) included in the referenced DC. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. General information on transient and accident analyses is provided in SRP Section 15.0. 2. Design basis radiological consequence analyses associated with design basis accidents are reviewed under
