July 9, 2015 U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555-0001 ATTN: Document Control Desk Director, Division of Spent Fuel Storage and Transportation Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-63 and NPF-69 Docket Nos. 50-220 and 50-410 Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation General License Docket No. 72-1036

SUBJECT:

General License 30-day Cask Registration Notification and Thermal Performance Assessment Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(2), this letter provides the information to register the use of two approved spent fuel storage casks at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMPNS) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

Licensee's Name: Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC Address: PO Box 63 Lycoming, NY 13093 Reactor License Numbers: DPR-63 and NPF-69 Docket Numbers: 50-220, 50-410 and 72-1036 Person Responsible for Mr. Kenneth J. Kristensen Providing additional information: 315-349-2069 Cask Certificate Number: 1004 Certificate Amendment Number: 10 Cask Model Number: NUHOMSO-61 BTH Cask Identification Numbers: NMP-61 BTH-1 -A-2-021, loaded June 11, 2015 NMP-61 BTH-1 -A-2-022, loaded June 25, 2015 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 (kW) 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).

A summary of the thermal performance of the 21st and 22nd 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-HSM002A Cask: NM P-61 BTH-1 -A-2-021 Calculated Heat Load: 11., 4585 kW Calculated AT: 56 degrees F Actual AT (Note 1): 42. 15 degrees F HSM Identification Number: 7DF:S-HSM002B Cask: NM P-61 BTH-1 -A-2-022 Calculated Heat Load: 11., 4258 kW Calculated AT: 54 degrees F Actual AT (Note 1): 44.:35 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.
