Document Control Desk August 22, 2014 Page 2 The Technical Specifications (TS) for Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004, Amendment No. 10, §1.1.7 "Special Requirements for First System in Place", requires the results of the temperature measurements of the first Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) placed in service be submitted to the NRC for evaluation and assessment. Additionally, this section of TS requires subsequent users of the system to report heat loads higher than the first user. The first user of the NUHOMS CoC No. 1004, Duke Energy, submitted the heat transfer characteristics for an 18.95 kilowatt (kVV) Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) in a letter to the NRC, from Duke Energy, "Cask Certificate of Compliance, Docket No.: 72-1004, 30-day Report for Higher Canister Heat Loading per General Requirement Section 1.1.7," dated August 8, 2007 (ML072340622). The first DSC loaded at NMPNS had a heat load of 7.30 kW, as reported in our letter dated October 17, 2012.

A summary of the thermal performance of the 17th through 19th DSCs in place at the NMPNS ISFSI is submitted for your information.

Horizontal Storage Module (HSM) Model: NUHOMS Model 102 HSM Identification Number: 7DF S-HSM003G Cask: NMIP61 BTH-1 -A-2-017 Calculated Heat Load: 7.40)8 kW Calculated AT: 42 dlegrees F Actual AT (Note 1): 25.015 degrees F HSM Identification Number: 7DF S-HSM003H Cask: NMIP61 BTH-1 -A-2-018 Calculated Heat Load: 7.3E39 kW Calculated AT: 42.E degrees F Actual AT (Note 1): 27.815 degrees F HSM Identification Number: 7DF S-HSM0031 Cask: NMI P61 BTH-1 -A-2-019 Calculated Heat Load: 7.34,0 kW Calculated AT: 42 clegrees F Actual AT (Note 1): 37.3 degrees F Note 1: The actual AT represents the measured AT obtained during equilibrium conditions. Equilibrium conditions were achieved when the daily temperature change observed was less than 6 degrees F over three consecutive days.
