Salem Dry Cask Storage Project Technical Presentation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission King of Prussia, PA May 27, 2010

AGENDA Introductory Remarks L. Menoscal ISFSI Regulatory History/Status B. Gutherman Salem DCS Operations P. Macconi Salem Plant Upgrades T. Wallender DCS Project Implementation P. Macconi Questions and Answers All May 27, 2010 2

ISFSI HISTORY Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) storage pad and support facility constructed in 2005 200 total cask capacity 111 Hope Creek casks, 89 Salem casks Inside Salem/Hope Creek protected area ISFSI Security orders implemented 12 casks deployed at the ISFSI to date 4 casks with Hope Creek fuel loaded in 2006-07 8 casks with Hope Creek fuel loaded in 2008 4 Hope Creek casks scheduled for June 2010 4 Salem casks scheduled for September 2010 May 27, 2010 3

4 ISFSI Access Gate 5

CASK SYSTEM AND COMPONENT GLOSSARY Holtec HI-STORM 100 System Canister-based dry spent fuel storage system Key Components Canister = Multi-Purpose Canister = MPC Transfer Cask = HI-TRAC Storage Cask = Overpack = HI-STORM Example Ancillary Equipment Welding, drying, backfilling, cooling equipment Lifting devices Zero Profile Transporter (ZPT)

Vertical Cask Transporter (VCT)

May 27, 2010 6

HI-STORM 100 SYSTEM COMPONENTS HI-STORM Overpack (HI-STORM)

Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC)

(Common to Salem/Hope Creek) *MPC-68 Hope Creek

• MPC-32 Salem HI-TRAC 100D Transfer Cask (HI-TRAC)

(Common to Salem/Hope Creek)

ISFSI REGULATORY STATUS Three Part 50 licenses - 1 BWR, 2 PWR One Part 72 general license for the ISFSI Docket 72-0048 One 10 CFR 72.212 Report Currently addresses only HC fuel storage Being revised to address storage of Salem fuel Part 72 compliance matrix for each plant May 27, 2010 8

PART 50 LICENSING ACTION U1/U2 Technical Specifications (TS) prohibited loads exceeding 2200 lb from being moved over spent fuel MPC lid weighs 10,000 lbs - needs to be installed in the canister after fuel loading License Amendment Request submitted April 2009 to move heavy load limit from both units TS to Salem Technical Requirements Manual (TRM)

U1/U2 license amendments issued February 17, 2010 50.59 evaluation performed to authorize a change to the TRM to add an exception for MPC lid installation Must use single-failure-proof lift system May 27, 2010 9

CASK LICENSING BASIS Holtec International HI-STORM 100 System Part 72 CoC 1014 Hope Creek fuel now stored at ISFSI under CoC 1014 Amendments 2 and 3 and associated cask FSAR Revisions 3 and 5 Adopting CoC Amendment 5 and cask FSAR Revision 7 for 2010 Hope Creek and Salem campaigns 212 Report clarifies cask licensing bases May 27, 2010 10

SALEM DRY CASK STORAGE OPERATIONS Pete Macconi May 27, 2010 11

SALEM DRY CASK STORAGE OPERATIONS Spent Fuel Pool Salem Fuel Handling Building Layout Truck Bay Fuel Transfer Pool Decontamination Pit May 27, 2010 12

SALEM DRY CASK STORAGE OPERATIONS Stack-up and MPC transfer from HI-TRAC HI-TRAC into HI-STORM performed in truck bay Mating device MPC Mating Device facilitates removal of HI-TRAC bottom lid to permit MPC transfer into HI-HI-STORM STORM May 27, 2010 13

SALEM DRY CASK STORAGE OPERATIONS HI-STORM resides in zero profile transporter (ZPT) on rails in truck bay During stack-up, the ZPT and overpack rest on floor ZPT used to move loaded HI-STORM out of truck bay Zero Profile Transporter (ZPT)

May 27, 2010 14

SALEM DRY CASK STORAGE OPERATIONS Loaded HI-STORM moved out of FHB on ZPT with prime mover Prime Mover May 27, 2010 15

SALEM DRY CASK STORAGE OPERATIONS The vertical cask transporter (VCT) lifts the HI-STORM and travels on the new Salem heavy haul path to the existing Hope Creek heavy haul path and on to ISFSI Vertical Cask Transporter (VCT)

SALEM PLANT UPGRADES Tom Wallender May 27, 2010 17

CASK HANDLING CRANE (CHC) UPGRADE CHC in both units upgraded to single-failure-proof design in 2009 115 ton capacity By design, CHC cannot travel over spent fuel pool HI-TRAC lifts are performed with a single-failure-proof lifting system per NUREG-0612, Section 5.1.6 Crane - NUREG-0554/ASME NOG-1-2004 Lifting devices (e.g., hoist rings, lift yoke. slings) - ANSI N14.6, ASME B30.9 Interfacing lift points (e.g., lift lugs, trunnions)

May 27, 2010 18

FUEL HANDLING BUILDING UPGRADES UPGRADE UNIT 1 UNIT 2 STATUS STATUS Added permanent working platform in Complete Complete decontamination pits Upgraded power supplies for CHC; Complete Complete Forced Helium Dehydration (FHD) System In progress In progress Installed additional air and water supplies for Complete Complete decontamination and operation of ancillary equipment Installed and tested rail systems in FHB truck bays Complete In progress Relocated interferences in and around truck bay Complete Complete Added egress pads outside FHB truck bay Complete In progress May 27, 2010 19

EGRESS PADS AND HEAVY HAUL PATH Egress pads are just outside each FHB roll-up door Rails embedded from truck bay to egress pad for ZPT movement in and out of FHB Egress pad facilitates:

Movement of HI-STORM into and out of truck bay HI-STORM lid removal/installation Transfer of HI-STORM between ZPT and VCT Salem heavy haul path built to withstand VCT weight with maximum lifted load and protect underground commodities May 27, 2010 20

SALEM DCS PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION Pete Macconi May 27, 2010 21

SALEM DCS PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION First Salem loading campaign scheduled for September 2010 - Unit 1, 4 casks Internal dry runs and training now through August NRC-observed dry runs follow internal dry runs Salem procedure development in progress ZPT on site and functional testing is ongoing HI-STORMs, MPCs and fuel spacers received from Holtec for first campaign May 27, 2010 22

SALEM DCS PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION Ancillary equipment inspections ongoing FHD and Supplemental Cooling Systems in fabrication Regulatory programs have been reviewed and updated Holtec/PCI/PSEG composite cask loading crew Focused Area Self Assessment (FASA) scheduled for June to review Salem DCS programs and operations FASA plan approved Internal and external participants May 27, 2010 23

SALEM DCS FIRST TIME EVOLUTIONS Heavy load movements inside FHB MPC fuel loading Forced helium dehydration system Supplemental cooling system Stack-up and MPC transfer Movement of HI-STORMs in and out of FHB on ZPT Transport HI-STORM on heavy haul path with VCT May 27, 2010 24
