now doing business as Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc., is registering the use of an approved spent fuel storage cask at the Brunswick Steam Electric Plant (BSEP) ISFSI.

The General Requirements and Conditions of the Technical Specifications for Amendment No. 10 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1004, Section 1.1.7, "Special Requirements for First System in Place," also requires a 30-day notification of the results of a thermal performance assessment for the first cask system in place. This information is required for the dry storage canister (DSC) with the highest heat load.
