Subject:

HI-STORM 100 Cask System Supplemental Cooling System (SCS) Validation Test Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 Docket Nos. 50-416 and 72-50 License No. NPF-29

Dear Sir or Madam:

Section 9, Special Requirements for First Systems in Place, of the Holtec HI-STORM 100 System Certificate of Compliance (CoC), requires a report of the Supplemental Cooling System (SCS) validation test and analysis for each first time user of a HI-STORM 100 Cask System SCS that uses components or a system that is not essentially identical to components or a system that has been previously tested. The SCS was tested at Grand Gulf Nuclear Station, Unit 1 (GGNS) on July 13, 2011, during the loading of Holtec Cask 534 which had a measured decay heat load of 18.74 kW.

Cask Data:

Cask Certificate Number: 1014 Amendment 5 Cask Model Number: HI-STORM 100S-B Cask Identification Number: Holtec Cask 534 Date of Test: July 13, 2011 Cask Heat Load: 18.74 kW The results of the SCS testing are contained in Attachment 1, Thermal Validation of Grand Gulf (GGNS) Supplemental Cooling System (SCS). These results show that system performance limits the coolant temperature to below 180 degrees Fahrenheit under steady-state conditions for the design basis heat load at an ambient air temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit as required by the Final Safety Analysis Report for the HI-STORM 100 Cask System, revision 7.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact Christina L. Perino at 601-437-6299.

GGNS SCS Thermal Validation Test Request letter, 8/4/2011

Subject:

Thermal Validation of Grand Gulf (GGNS) Supplemental Cooling System (SCS)

Dear Mr. Ellis:

In accordance with the above referenced letter, Holtec was requested to review the operating performance data for the Supplemental Cooling System (SCS).

HI-STORM FSAR Revision 7 section 2.C.2 states:

0 If the system uses water as the coolant, the system is sized to limit the coolant temperature to below 180 P under steady-state conditions for the design basis heat load at an ambient air temperature of 1OOoF. Active components (Le., pump or air cooler fan) are powered by electric motors with a backup power supply for uninterrupted operation.

After review of GONS SCS performance data, Holtec has confirmed that the SCS is operating in accordance with Appendix 2.C of the HI-STORM FSAR.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
