The Honorable Joe Barton, Chairman Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality Committee on Energy and Commerce United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) intends to publish a proposed rule, in the Federal Register, that would amend the List of approved spent fuel storage casks (10 CFR 72.214). NRC is proposing to approve the Standardized Advanced NUHOMS-24PT1 Storage System for storage of spent fuel under the conditions specified in the proposed Certificate of Compliance (CoC). The cask, when used in accordance with the conditions specified in the CoC and NRC regulations, will meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72; thus, adequate protection of public health and safety would be ensured. The cask is being proposed for listing and revision under 10 CFR 72.214, List of approved spent fuel storage casks, to allow holders of power reactor operating licenses to store spent fuel in the cask system under a general license. The Standardized Advanced NUHOMS-24PT1 Storage System CoC would terminate 20 years after the effective date of the final rule listing the cask in 10 CFR 72.214, unless the cask CoC is renewed. The certificate contains conditions for use specific for this cask system, addressing issues such as operating procedures, training, and spent fuel specification.
Sincerely, Dennis K. Rathbun, Director Office of Congressional Affairs
