This user manual documents the step-by-step instructions for using the web-application of the Nuclear Fuel Data Survey
Form GC-859 to enter the data requested in Schedules A-F of the survey form. These instructions are written for a survey
respondent (also referred to as a “user” of the web application ) and it is assumed that respondents have registered for
access to the web application and are able to access the data entry screens for their facility or facilities.
After logging into the portal and selecting the appropriate facility, the user will be prompted to enter data sequentially
for each section. A user can exit the sequential process by clicking on the green “My GC-859” button at the upper
left-hand part of the screen, circled below in red (1) in Fig. 1 and the user can click on any section of any schedule to
enter data for that schedule. If the user wishes to return to the sequential data entry they can click on the green “Return
to last GC859 data entry point”, circled in the lower left-hand corner in Fig. 1 below (2).
User can revert all changes by clicking “Reset to Base Data” circled below in red (3). This option can be used when
entering data for practice or if user wants to correct a mistake. For details on reset steps see section Reset to Base Data.
On the input form some of the entries are required and some maybe optional. The required fields are discussed in
Required Entries.
In cases with no new data to report for example for plants that were shutdown for an extended period of time a fast track
submission is available as discussed in section Fast Track Submission.

GC-859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey Web-Application User Manual, Release : PNNL-34034, Revision 1

Each uploaded data file is validated and errors are reported back to the user. As an example of an error in this manual
a csv file with rows including only commas is used. When the file is imported, the rows with only commas will be
flagged by the web application as an error. To assure that the errors are from these extra commas and not from the
errors in the entered data, the user should open the file in a text editor to see if there are any extra rows full of commas.
An example of an error message is shown in Fig. 2.11 below.

Fig. 2.11: Schedule B.3 Example Error Message for Cycle Data File Upload
If the user would like to download previous cycle data to update, they would click the “Download Data for Editing”
button shown in Fig. 2.8. This will download a Microsoft Excel (xlsx) file with a file name in the format “[facility
name] Data - [year].xlsx” that can be opened using Microsoft Excel. An example file name for Callaway would be:
“Callaway Cycle Data - 2022.xlsx.” An example is shown in Fig. 2.12. This file will have the actual previously entered
data and new records can be appended to the end of this data. Entries can be modified and will replace existing values
and can be used to correct errors in previous data.

Fig. 2.12: Schedule B.3 Example of Actual Cycle Data using “Download Data for Editing”
As an alternative to entering the cycle data on its own the user can enter assembly and cycle data simultaneously. In
order to enter assembly and cycle data simultaneously, the user should click on the “Built-in Assembly-Cycle Data
File” shown in Fig. 2.7. The user would click on the drop-down menu from the gray button inside that box that looks
similar to the one identified in Fig. 2.8. This will display two options, “Download Sample” and “Download Data for
Editing” and will provide sample data and previous data respectively. These files will allow the user to enter cycle and

19

If the user clicks the “Upload Data” button shown in Fig. 3.3, they will be taken to a screen similar to Fig. 3.7 . This
screen has two options for uploading data files for Schedule C.1.1. The option on the left, “Built-In Assembly File,”
includes only assembly data. When using this option, the cycle data from Schedule B must be input first. The option on
the right of Fig. 3.7 , “Built-in Assembly-Cycle Data File,” is the same format as the file also available from the Schedule
B file upload shown in Fig. 2.7 and combines cycle (B.3.0), cycle history (C.1.2) and assembly data specification (C.1.1)
into a single file.
Similar to the file upload screen for Schedule B shown in Fig. 2.7 , clicking either of the gray buttons for each file
format option, one is circled in red on Fig. 3.7 , will bring up two options for file upload “Download Sample” and
“Download Data for Editing.” Similar to the cycle data, clicking on the “Download Sample” option will download a
Microsoft Excel (xlsx) file with sample data in the correct format. Clicking on the “Download Data for Editing,” will
download a Microsoft Excel (xlsx) file with actual, previously entered data.

GC-859 Nuclear Fuel Data Survey Web-Application User Manual, Release : PNNL-34034, Revision 1

An example of the format needed for the assembly only data is shown in Fig. 3.8 . The units for “Initial Uranium” is
kilograms and “Initial Enrichment” is in units of weight percent of U-235. Codes for the assembly type can be found
in Appendix E of the GC-859 survey as shown in Fig. 3.6 .
Since this data in Fig. 3.8 was generated by clicking on the “Download Sample” option shown in Fig. 3.7 , it is example
data used only to provide the proper data format.

Fig. 3.8: Schedule C.1.1 Example Assembly Only Data Format
An example of the format needed for the combined cycle, cycle history, and assembly data is shown in Fig. 3.9 .
“initial_uranium” is in units of kilograms, “initial_enrichment” is in units of weight percent U-235 and “max_burnup”
is in units of MWd/MTU. This data format accounts for assemblies that have been burned in multiple cycles. For the
example data shown in Fig. 3.9 , the first three rows are for the same assembly, but each row represents a different cycle
that the assembly was burned in (cycle history as in schedule C1.2). The burnups entered for this data are the cumulative
burnup at the end of each cycle. For this assembly, Columns A through O are repeated for the same assembly with the
differences in the cycle information shown in Columns P through T. Entering assembly and cycle information using
this data format can be done when entering information in Schedule B.3 shown in Fig. 2.7 .

Fig. 3.9: Schedule C.1.1 Example Cycle and Assembly Data Format
Once the user completes the Microsoft Excel (xlsx, or Comma Separated csv, or tab delimited) data file with the data
that they wish to add or modify, the user then clicks the green “Get Started” button on the lower left portion of Fig.
3.7 . This will bring the user to a screen in Fig. 3.10 where they will be prompted to upload the file by dragging and
dropping the file onto this part of the screen or navigating to the file location by selecting the “choose file” button below
the blue drag and drop area. Upon dropping the file, the application will perform consistency checks and ask the user
to finish uploading. A user may need to fix issues found in the consistency checks to finish uploading.

3.2 Schedule C.1.1: Constellation Specific Assembly Data Format
Constellation (formerly Exelon) facilities will have additional options for uploading assembly data using the Cask
Loader format. If the user is entering data for an Constellation facility and they click on the blue “Upload Data” button
from the main Schedule C.1.1 screen shown in Fig. 3.3, they will be taken to a screen similar to that shown in Fig. 3.11.

Fig. 3.11: Schedule C.1.1 File Upload for Constellation Facilities
The process for downloading and entering the Microsof Excel (xlsx) data into the correct format is similar to that
previously discussed, however there are two additional data files formats available for Constellation facilities shown in
Fig. 3.11. This includes “Cask Loader Assembly Export” and “Cask Loader Assembly Type Export.”
An example of the “Cask Loader Assembly Export” format is shown below in Fig. 3.12.

Fig. 3.12: Schedule C.1.1 Example of Cask Loader Assembly Export Format for Constellation Facilities
The reactor identifier from Cask Loader format will need to be altered to conform to the data recognizable by the GC859 survey web program. The program will check the data and send the user through automated steps where it will
predict the data that conforms to that in the database and ask the user to confirm the predictions. For example Fig. 3.12
shows “reactor_unit_id” as “118”. An example of what a user might see as part of this process is shown in Fig. 3.13.

Cask Loader assembly types are different from those in the GC-859 survey program, so the user will be asked to upload
an Assembly Type export from Cask Loader to provide a translation between the two formats. This is shown in Fig.
3.14, where the web application has identified that there are four assembly types that are not known.

Fig. 3.14: Schedule C.1.1 File Upload for Cask Loader Assembly Type Export for Constellation Facilities
The user can also upload an example of the Cask Loader Assembly Type Export form by clicking on the drop-down
menu in the “Cask Loader Assembly Type Export” box shown in Fig. 3.11. Clicking the drop-down will provide a
sample file with this file format for the user to modify. An example of this file format is shown in Fig. 3.15.

After uploading the Cask Loader Assembly Type Export file in the screen showed in Fig. 3.14, the web application
will check the data and will request that the user provide a translation between the assembly types specified in the
Cask Loader Assembly Export File and the GC-859 Assembly types. An example of this is shown in Fig. 3.16. The
web application uses data from the assembly type export (e.g., product line [column C], vendor [column D], cladding
[column M] as shown in Fig. 3.15) to group similar types and asks the user to select a corresponding GC-859 assembly
type from a drop down list as shown in Fig. 3.16 that closely corresponds to the group.

Fig. 3.17: Schedule C.1.1 File Upload for Southern Nuclear Facilities
The process for downloading and entering the xlsx/csv/tab data into the correct format is similar to that previously
discussed, however there is an additional data file format available for Southern Nuclear facilities. The files for using this
option are accessible by clicking the gray drop-down box in Fig. 3.17 that is within the white box labeled “TracWorks
GC-859 C.1.1 Export.” An example of the “TracWorks GC-859 C.1.1 Export” file format is shown below in Fig. 3.18.

Fig. 3.18: Schedule C.1.1 Example of TracWorks Export Format for Southern Nuclear Facilities
Some of the data in the TracWorks format will need to be translated in order to be recognizable by the GC-859 survey
web program. The program will check the data and send the user through automated steps where it will predict the
data that is compatible with the database. The user will then be asked to confirm the predictions. After uploading the
data file format shown partially in Fig. 3.18, the program asks the user a series of questions shown in Fig. 3.19. The
questions associated with the TracWorks data that the GC-859 web program was unable to recognize in Fig. 3.19 are
(1) which reactor does the excel spreadsheet Book4.xlsx from the example case contain data for, (2) what non-fuel
component does “FC” describe, and (3) for storage location “2001” in the example case, does this refer to the pool or
ISFSI.

The middle option on Fig. 3.23, “Built-in Assembly-Cycle Data (Condensed) File” is an available format for uploading
data onto a single line. To use this data format, the user needs to have created cycle information in Schedule B.3 and
assembly information in Schedule C.1.1. The assembly cycle information will be entered in the format shown in below.
This differs from the format available in “Built-In Assembly-Cycle Data File” shown in Fig. 3.9 in that each assembly
would have its own row in the table rather than being repeated for each cycle it is burned in.

Fig. 3.26: Schedule C.1.2 Example Format for Constellation Cycle History Report
Similar to the assembly data loaded using the Cask Loader format for Schedule C.1.1, the reactor identifiers will need
to be translated to data recognizable by the GC-859 survey web program. The program will check the data and send
the user through automated steps where it will predict what the data is that conforms to that in the database and ask the
user to confirm the predictions. For example Fig. 3.26 shows “reactor_unit_id” as “118.” A user would see the same
questions in Fig. 3.13 where in this example the program asks the user if reactor id 118 is associated with Quad Cities
1 or 2.

3.6 Schedule C.1.3: Fuel Assembly Type Codes
When Schedule C.1.2 data entry is complete the user can advance to Schedule C.1.3 by clicking the green button
“Take me to Schedule C.1.3” shown on the bottom of Fig. 3.20 or by navigating to Schedule C.1.3 using other methods
previously discussed such as clicking the “My GC-859” button.
The information in Schedule C.1.3 is only for review and will look similar to that in Fig. 3.27 as this information was
previously entered as part of the assembly information in Schedule C.1.1 or C.1.2. If the assembly type information
displayed in Schedule C.1.3 needs to be changed, the data in Schedule C.1.1 or C.1.2 will need to be modified. A
description of the fuel assembly associated with each code can be found in Appendix E of the GC-859 survey which is
accessible through the help menu shown in Fig. 3.6 .

Since last reporting data, many facilities have begun loading new canisters designs. To check the designs that have been
reported in previous surveys and add new ones the user can click the blue “Manage Canister Models” button at the top
of the form shown in Fig. 4.4 or click the “See Canister Models” button under the Quick Tasks section of the form.
Selecting either of these options will take user to a screen similar to Fig. 4.5. Once in this form the user has the option
to add new canister designs by clicking the “Add Unlisted Canister” in the upper left corner or modify the coordinate
system of canister designs by clicking the “Edit Position Labels” button in the bottom right corner.
If the user adds a canister design, they will be taken to a menu to select available designs. If a design is not available,
the user should contact the admin using the message app and the admin can add the new design using administrative
tools. If the user elects to modify the canister coordinate system to match the scheme used at their site, they will be
taken to a screen similar to Fig. 4.6. These position labels will need to be consistent with those that are entered in the
cask loading map data file shown in Fig. 4.16 under the Schedule D.3.3 form. The orientation of the loading map can
be determined based on the location of the drain tube. It was observed that few utilities previously provided both drain
tube and a north-south direction indicator. User can rotate a canister to indicate proper orientation and also adjust the
north-south direction as needed to indicate the direction of the drain tube or a cell position on the storage pad. The
numbering scheme, orientation, and directions are site specific and need to be specified for each site if different. These
features are optional.
