NUCLEAR A SOUTHERN COMPANY NL-15-1620 Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant; Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Plant; Vogtle Electric Generating Plant Letter in Support of Docket No. 72-1014 Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 9. Revision No. 1 Ladies and Gentlemen:
By letter dated July 1, 2014, Holtec International (Holtec) submitted a revision request to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the HI-STORM 1 00 Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1014, Amendment No. 9. The proposed changes include the following:
(1) Change Burn up/Cooling Time limits for thimble plug devices, (2) Change Metamic-HT testing requirements, (3) Change Metamic-HT minimum guaranteed values, (4) Update fuel definitions to allow boiling water reactor fuel affected by certain corrosion mechanisms within specific guidelines to be classified as undamaged fuel.
Holtec has requested a revision in lieu of a new amendment. The revised CoC, when codified through rulemaking, would be denoted as Amendment No. 9, Revision No. 1, to CoC No. 1014. As a revision, the CoC will supersede the previous version of the CoC in its entirety.
In support of Holtec's revision request, SNC, as a general licensee for the subject cask system, has evaluated the impact of the changes and is willing to make the changes voluntarily. Further, SNC desires to incorporate these changes prior to the next used fuel loading campaign scheduled for April 2016 at Plant Hatch. An effective date in February 2016 for Amendment No. 9, Revision No. 1, to CoC No.
1014 would align with SNC's plans for the April 2016 loading campaign.
