Cask Registration is the part of a ISFSI Campaign where the information about new casks on the pad is communicated to the NRC.
- "(2) Register use of each cask with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission no later than 30 days after using that cask to store spent fuel. This registration may be accomplished by submitting a letter using instructions in § 72.4 containing the following information: the licensee’s name and address, the licensee’s reactor license and docket numbers, the name and title of a person responsible for providing additional information concerning spent fuel storage under this general license, the cask certificate number, the CoC amendment number to which the cask conforms, unless loaded under the initial certificate, cask model number, and the cask identification number. A copy of each submittal must be sent to the administrator of the appropriate Nuclear Regulatory Commission regional office listed in appendix D to part 20 of this chapter."
This sequence happens for each Cask as it "hits the PAD". The maintenance department or ISFSI lead creates an IR to document this process, ie, start Passport actions to track the letter. A letter is sent to the NRC with details about the cask info and dates within 30 days. 1 letter will typically cover a few casks (estimate 4) during a single ISFSI Campaign, and 1 campaign will probably have 2 letters (based on the number of casks during that campaign and how fast they can on the Pad within the initial 30 days timeline).
