INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF INSTALLATION This Safety Analysis Report (SAR) describes the design and forms the licensing basis for the 10 CFR 72 [1-1] facility license of the Interim Storage Partners (ISPs) WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (WCS CISF) to be located in Andrews County, Texas.
The quality assurance (QA) program applicable to this design satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 72, Subpart G and is described in the Quality Assurance Program Description [1-2]. To facilitate U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) review of this application, this SAR has been prepared in compliance with the information and methods defined in Revision 0 of NRC NUREG-1567 [1-3].
This SAR describes a facility designed to accept commercial spent nuclear fuel and Greater-than-Class C (GTCC) waste contained in dual-purpose (transportation/storage) cask and canister systems that have been approved by the NRC for spent nuclear fuel. The NUHOMS-MP187 GTCC waste canister is currently included in a specific license for storage and is also certified by the NRC for transport under 10 CFR Part 71. The GTCC waste canisters for the NAC systems are certified by the NRC for transport under 10 CFR Part 71. The WCS CISF will ultimately accommodate 40,000 metric tons Uranium or Mixed-Oxide, or metric tons heavy metal (MTHM), and will have a service life of at least 40 years. This initial SAR, however, is for phase 1 of the project, which is to material defined in Conditions 8A and 8B of the license for storage in the same canisters and overpacks as those currently in use at several reactor sites in the United States.
This chapter provides a summary of the SAR. The following information is included:
(1) a general description of the WCS CISF; (2) a general description of the systems and operations; (3) analysis of the WCS CISF operations; (4) identification of agents and contractors; and (5) material incorporated into this SAR by reference.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-2 Introduction 1.1 Interim Storage Partners (ISP) is a joint venture (JV) between Waste Control Specialists LLC and Orano CIS LLC formed to design, license, construct, and operate the WCS CISF.
Waste Control Specialists currently operates two separate Low-Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) disposal facilities at the Andrews County site, including the Texas Compact Disposal Facility. Orano CIS, through its parent Orano USA, is a leading company in the safe management, dry storage and transportation of spent nuclear fuel with more than 30 years of experience in the United States.
The need for an interim storage facility for spent nuclear fuel arises as a result of the ongoing decades long search for a disposal solution for the nations spent nuclear fuel.
In 2012, the presidential-appointed Blue Ribbon Commission on Americas Nuclear Future issued a report recommending that at least one interim storage facility be sited in the U.S., while a permanent disposal site is being developed.
Consistent with the recommendation of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Americas Nuclear Future, the WCS CISF will provide dry storage capacity for canisterized spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste at the WCS CISF site in the same storage overpack designs as those currently licensed and used at the original storage sites. ISP is seeking a license to operate a CISF for spent fuel and GTCC waste storage for 40 years in accordance with 10 CFR Part 72.
Construction of the WCS CISF is planned to start in September 2021 and operation is planned to begin in July 2023.
The WCS CISF will be located within the owner-controlled area of the existing Waste Control Specialists site, which is operated by Waste Control Specialists. The site comprises approximately 14,000 acres in Andrews County, Texas. It is characterized by isolation from population centers, a sound foundation for structures, and favorable conditions of meteorology, seismology, and hydrology.
The proposed location of the CISF site within the Waste Control Specialists site is on the north west corner. Figure 1-1 shows the general location of the WCS CISF at the Waste Control Specialists site.
Spent nuclear fuel at the WCS CISF will be stored in cask systems that have been previously approved by the NRC. These cask systems include transportable canister-based storage systems. It is ISPs intent that all NRC approved dual-purpose (transportation/storage) or multi-purpose (transportation/storage/ disposal) cask systems be acceptable for use at the WCS CISF over time. For Phase I of the WCS CISF application, six (6) cask systems consisting of eleven (11) different canisters plus GTCC waste canisters stored in five (5) overpacks are proposed for storage at the WCS CISF. These cask systems are described in SARs that are docketed by the NRC.
Appendix H of the SAR addresses canisterized GTCC waste. Table 1-1 provides a listing of the various cask systems proposed for storage at the WCS CISF.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-3 The cask systems listed in Table 1-1 were originally approved for 20 years. An application for License Renewal for the cask systems associated with CoC 1004 for an additional 40 years is currently being reviewed by the NRC. Work is also currently underway to develop an application for License Renewal for SNM-2510 for timely submittal to the NRC. The remaining cask systems in the WCS CISF License Application have not yet reached 20 years of time in service and therefore work has not yet begun to develop the applications for License Renewal for these systems. As these systems approach 20 years of service time, their applications for License Renewal, including Aging Management Program (AMP) requirements, will be submitted to the NRC for review and approval. Any canisters stored at the WCS CISF will have been loaded under these previously approved NRC CoCs and licenses, and their time in service clock for triggering the implementation of required AMP activities will have begun at the time of loading for each individual canister.
Therefore, the AMP activities for any of the canisters stored at the site will be established and approved well in advance of license renewal for the site-specific license for the WCS CISF. Similarly, AMP activities for the storage overpacks at the WCS CISF will be established by their respective CoCs and licenses, but their time in service clocks will begin at the time of their loading at the WCS CISF. As the aging management activities associated with the individual CoCs and licenses under which the systems were originally loaded have not been approved at this time, a condition imposed on this license [1-4] is to incorporate the required aging management activities into this license within 120 days of the effective date of the renewal authorization of a given authorized cask systems CoC or license, or within 120 days of the effective date of this license, whichever is later.
The canister-based cask systems require transfer of the canister from the transportation cask to the storage overpack. These transfers are performed in either the Cask Handling Building or the Storage Area, depending on the cask system design. All transfer and handling activities are accomplished in a dry mode using cask transfer equipment and WCS CISF structures, systems, and components (SSCs). The WCS CISF design, as presented in the SAR, does not employ a spent fuel pool or other bare fuel handling capability.
Chapter 3 identifies the important-to-safety (ITS) SSCs for the cask systems and the WCS CISF and those not-important-to-safety (NITS) SSCs that are necessary for the operation of the WCS CISF. Cask system SSCs are used to the maximum extent possible in the design of the WCS CISF and are described in the design and licensing basis documents associated with each cask system. The use of previously approved cask systems is an integral part of the WCS CISF design basis. The WCS CISF SSCs that are ITS include the Canister Transfer System in the Cask Handling Building and the storage pads for the vertical storage systems.
The physical, thermal, and radiological characteristics of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) to be stored at the WCS CISF are defined in the respective cask system SARs.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-4 General Description of Installation 1.2 The WCS CISF is designed as a stand-alone facility and consists of a storage area, and support facilities. The facility boundary is established at the outer limits by the Part 73 Owner Controlled Area (OCA). The Protected Area (PA) boundary is approximately 660 feet inside of the OCA boundary. The storage area is approximately 330 feet inside of the PA boundary. These areas are shown in Figure 1-2, WCS CISF Site Boundary Layout.
Figure 1-3 is a blow-up view of the facility showing the storage area and the support facilities inside the Protected Area. Support facilities include the Cask Handling Building, the Security and Administration Building, Transport Haul Route, and Rail Access.
The SSCs that are important-to-safety are listed in Table 3-5. Table 3-5 also lists the SSCs that are classified as not important-to-safety. Because there is no waste generated during the storage phase, there are no gaseous, liquid, or solid radioactive waste treatment systems associated with the storage system. Likewise, heat removal is totally passive in the overpacks and no active cooling system is required. Therefore, there are no required Instrumentation and Control Systems for the WCS CISF.
1.2.1 Location and Site Characteristics The WCS CISF is located approximately 32 miles west of the city of Andrews, Texas, and five miles east of the city of Eunice, New Mexico. The WCS CISF facility is located approximately one-half mile east of the Texas-New Mexico state boundary and one mile north of Texas Highway 176. The Waste Control Specialists site occupies parts of Section 16 and 17, Block A-29, Public School Land, Andrews County, Texas included in approximately 25 square miles of property (primarily in Texas with nominal acreage in New Mexico) controlled by Waste Control Specialists LLC in northwestern Andrews County, Texas. Waste Control Specialists LLC will retain control of the Site, free and clear of any liens, claims or encumbrances, and will make available the portion of the Site to be used for the WCS CISF under a long-term lease.
The WCS CISF is situated in an arid, isolated part of the state. Figure 1-4 shows the location of the facility with respect to known or easily identifiable landmarks.
Figure 1-4, as supplemented by Figure 1-1, illustrates county boundaries, rail access, highways, and major roads.
The approximate coordinates of the site are 32° 27' 08" north latitude and 103° 03' 35" west longitude.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-5 1.2.2 Principal Design Criteria The WCS CISF principal design criteria are based on the site characteristics, the design criteria associated with the cask systems listed in Table 1-1 that have been previously approved by the NRC, and specific criteria required for the WCS CISF design.
The cask systems listed in Table 1-1 meet the WCS CISF design criteria. Table 1-2 provides a summary of the WCS CISF principal design criteria.
1.2.3 Facility Descriptions The major facilities at the WCS CISF are the Cask Handling Building and the storage area. The Cask Handling Building is approximately 140 feet long by 130 feet wide by 70 feet high. The building is a two-bay steel structure designed to support two commercial overhead cranes used to move transportation casks from the rail car to the transport vehicle. One bay of the building will house the Canister Transfer System described in Section 1.3.1.2 and the other bay will be available for direct transfer of transportation casks from the rail car to the transport vehicle. A 2,400 square foot area of the building is set aside for cask storage. The building plan view is shown in Figure 1-7. Figure 1-8 is a section through the building showing the overhead crane location. Air monitors and dosimeters are located in the building for monitoring purposes. The building is not designed or intended to provide confinement or shielding for SNF or GTCC materials. The building is classified as ITS - Category C.
The purpose of the Cask Handling Building is to receive and prepare for storage shipments of dual-purpose canister systems. It will also receive GTCC waste canisters for storage at the site. It is also designed to process canisters stored at the site for off-site shipment. The Cask Handling Building is designed to handle canisterized material and does not have the capability to handle bare fuel.
As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA) principles are incorporated, to the maximum extent practical, throughout the facility design to reduce radiation exposure to facility personnel. Cranes/lifting devices for transferring the NUHOMS transportation/transfer casks from the transportation skid to the transfer trailer/skid are designed to minimize the need for facility personnel to be near the loaded cask. This equipment is NITS as the lift heights of the loaded casks are maintained below 80 inches at all times after removal of the impact limiters. The analysis of bounding drop scenarios shows that a NUHOMS transportation/transfer cask will maintain structural integrity of the DSC confinement boundary and maintain basket geometry from an 80 inch (from the bottom of the cask to the ground) drop. The ITS canister transfer system for the vertical transfer of canisters is remotely operated and the transfer equipment used to make the transfer to the storage overpacks is substantially identical to that used to transfer the canister into dry storage at the reactor facilities where the material was initially stored.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-6 The storage area is a large area comprised of concrete storage pads and storage overpacks. The purpose of the storage area is to provide safe storage for the canisterized spent nuclear fuel in cask systems that were previously approved by the NRC. The pads and approach aprons are designed to meet the applicable requirements of these previously approved cask systems. The storage area will be constructed in phases, as necessary. Phase 1 is designed to accommodate approximately 5,000 MTHM of spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste in approximately 470 storage overpacks. Figure 1-6 shows the Phase 1 storage area. The individual storage pads are constructed of reinforced concrete at approximately ground level. Horizontal storage module pads will have concrete approach aprons. Vertical storage module pads will be surrounded by gravel approach roads.
The Security and Administration Building is a commercially designed and fabricated steel building with a reinforced concrete floor and foundation. The building primarily functions as the location for the Central Alarm Station and for Health Physics spaces.
Additionally, the building provides additional security and administration spaces and is the main personnel entrance and exit for the facility. Figure 1-9 shows the Security and Administration Building Layout.
The remainder of the WCS CISF facilities provide support functions such as fuel receipt, security, and fire protection. Table 1-3 provides a list of the WCS CISF facilities and their functions.
1.2.4 Materials To Be Stored Only canisters that have been previously approved by the NRC to store and transport commercial light water (PWR and BWR) spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste will be received at the WCS CISF. The controls for limiting the types and forms of spent nuclear fuel received at the WCS CISF include those placed on the cask systems by the NRC-issued site licenses or certificates of compliance for the included transportation and storage systems. The approved systems are listed in Section 2.1 of the Technical Specifications [1-4], which include an additional limitation on uncanned high burnup fuel. The type, form and sources authorized for storage include:
Canisterized spent nuclear fuel elements from commercial nuclear utilities licensed pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 and associated radioactive materials related to the receipt, transfer, and storage of that spent nuclear fuel.
Uranium or Mixed-Oxide (MOX) in the form of intact spent fuel assemblies, damaged fuel assemblies, and fuel debris, as specified in Section 2.1 of the WCS CISF Technical Specifications [1-4].
Canisterized GTCC waste that consists of only reactor related low-level radioactive waste generated as a result of plant operation and decommissioning where the radionuclide concentration limits of Class C waste in 10 CFR 61.55 are exceeded. This waste may include such components as incore components, core support structures, and small reactor related miscellaneous parts resulting from the reactor vessel internals segmentation/decommissioning processes.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-7 All waste stored within the various GTCC canisters will be in the physical form of activated metals that may have surface contamination. The GTCC canisters will not contain process wastes containing paper, plastics or ion exchange resins that could result in the generation of combustible gases or chemical or galvanic corrosion reactions with the canister.
Aging Management considerations for the canisters and storage overpacks are discussed in Section 11.5.

Pre-Shipment Review of Canisters 1.2.4.2 ISP will verify that every spent fuel canister received at the WCS CISF would comply with the terms, conditions of use, and technical specifications of one of the six storage systems listed in Section 2.1 of the Technical Specifications [1-4], when stored in the canisters approved overpack.
This verification will include a determination of the Certificate amendment under which the canister was loaded and an evaluation of any changes made to the canister under 10 CFR 72.48.
If it is determined, prior to acceptance, that a loaded canister does not comply, ISP would undertake further evaluation to determine if their site specific license should be amended, or if an evaluation done under 10 CFR 72.48 for the WCS CISF would support such a change without an amendment.
ISP will review 10 CFR 72.48 evaluations completed by other licensees or Certificate holders and determine if these evaluations can be clearly shown to be applicable to WCS CISF. ISP will prepare its own 72.48 evaluations in such instances.
ISP shall maintain procedures for and records of its reviews performed according to this section.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-11 1.2.5 Waste Products Generated During Operations As described in Chapter 6, there are minimal radioactive wastes generated at the WCS CISF. Gaseous and liquid wastes are not generated at the WCS CISF. Small volumes of solid radioactive waste may be produced from routine operations involving contamination surveys and decontamination activities involving incoming and outgoing transportation casks and equipment. Potential solid waste streams are collected and temporarily stored on site until authorization under Waste Control Specialists Low Level Radioactive Waste (LLRW) License RML R04100 allows for processing and disposal.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-12 General Description of Systems and Operations 1.3 A general description of the WCS CISF systems and operations is provided in this section. The systems described relate to the receipt, handling, transfer, and storage of canisterized spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste. In general, the same systems provide the corresponding function for canister retrieval and off site shipment operations.
1.3.1 WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Systems The major systems for the WCS CISF include the following: Cask Off-Loading and Loading System in the Cask Handling Building, Canister Transfer System (for vertical systems) and Transfer Cask or Storage Overpack Carrier System. These systems are used to transfer canisterized spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste from transportation systems to storage overpacks and are used to retrieve canisters for off-site shipment.
Cask Off-Loading and Loading System 1.3.1.1 The purpose of the Cask Off-Loading and Loading System is to remove transportation casks from the cask railcars and to move transportation casks onto the railcars for shipment from the WCS CISF. Major components include two 130-ton capacity overhead bridge cranes and a Vertical Cask Transporter (VCT), which is also used to carry and position the loaded vertical concrete cask (VCC) to its storage pad position.
The overhead bridge cranes and associated lifting fixtures are used to perform a horizontal transfer of the NUHOMS transportation/transfer cask from the railcar (skid) onto the transfer skid for transfer operations. This transfer is performed without lifting the loaded NUHOMS transportation/transfer cask above a height of 80 and these cranes are classified as NITS. The ITS VCT is used to upright transportation casks and place the casks under the Canister Transfer System for the vertical storage systems. The VCT is also used to collect the vertical transportation cask following loading with the Canister Transfer System and place/down end the transportation cask onto the railcar for offsite transport.
Canister Transfer System 1.3.1.2 For vertical systems, the ITS Canister Transfer System is used to transfer spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste canisters from the uprighted transportation casks to vertical storage overpacks. Major components include a shielded transfer cask, mobile gantry crane and ancillary equipment used to move the canisters from the upright transportation cask to the vertical storage overpack. This system is not used with the NUHOMS Systems.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-13 Transfer Cask or Storage Overpack Carrier System 1.3.1.3 For NUHOMS Systems the purpose of this equipment is to transfer the cask out to the Horizontal Storage Module (HSM) and transfer the canister into the HSM or retrieval of same. For vertical systems, the purpose of this equipment is to upright the transportation cask and place it under the Canister Transfer System and to transfer the storage overpack from the transfer station to the storage pad or to return the overpack to the transfer station when the canister is to be shipped off-site. Major components for the NUHOMS System include the transfer trailer, skid, skid positioning system, HSM/cask restraint system, hydraulic ram and alignment equipment. The major component for the vertical system is a VCT to move the cask from the transfer station to the storage pad.
Waste Management Systems 1.3.1.4 The WCS CISF does not have any major radioactive waste management systems. The only radioactive wastes generated are the result of residual quantities of radioactive contamination on the transportation casks. Solid wastes generated during the decontamination process are disposed of at a licensed disposal facility.
Not Used 1.3.1.5 Storage Pad 1.3.1.6 For the NUHOMS Systems the basemat and approach slabs are not relied upon to provide any safety function. There are no structural connections or other positive means to transfer shear between the modules and the foundation slab. The HSMs are not connected to the basemat. They resist horizontal forces by friction. Therefore, basemat and approach slabs are considered NITS and are designed, constructed, maintained, and tested as commercial-grade items.
The concrete storage pads loaded with NAC-MPC, NAC-UMS, and MAGNASTOR VCC systems meet the concrete storage pad properties presented in CoC No. 1025, Section B 3.4, CoC No. 1015, Section B 3.4, and CoC No. 1031, Sections 4.3.1 and 5.4, respectively. There are no structural connections or other positive means to transfer shear between the VCC systems and the slab. The VCC systems are not connected to the basemat, and resist horizontal forces by friction. The storage pads used for placement of NAC-MPC, NAC-UMS, and MAGNASTOR VCCs are classified as ITS, as identified in Chapter 3 and Chapter 7.
1.3.2 WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Operations Loaded transportation casks containing spent fuel or GTCC waste canisters are received via rail car. Security inspections and radiation surveys are performed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 71 and transportation cask CoC requirements.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-14 The transportation casks are radiologically surveyed, impact limiters removed, their cavities are vented and tested, and they are decontaminated as necessary. Once receipt is completed under the provisions of 10 CFR Part 71, the cask is prepared to be removed from the railcar so that the canister can be transferred to the storage overpack. For NUHOMS Systems, the cask is lifted horizontally from the transportation skid and placed on the transfer trailer where it is readied to be transferred to the storage pad and its designated HSM. The canister/cask is then transferred to the storage pad where the canister is inserted into its HSM. For vertical systems, the transportation cask is uprighted, placed in the transfer station, and made ready such that the canister can be retrieved with a shielded transfer cask and the canister transferred to the storage overpack. Once the canister is transferred to the storage overpack, the overpack is then moved using the VCT out to the storage pad and placed in its designated location for storage.
For canister retrieval operations, the operational sequences for placing the canister into storage are reversed.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-15 Analysis of Operations 1.4 This section provides a summary of the analyses performed for normal operations, off-normal and accident conditions.
1.4.1 Normal Operations - Dose Assessment ALARA practices and dose reduction techniques are incorporated into the design of the WCS CISF. The receipt and transfer operations incorporate the ALARA principles and operational experience gained from the operations of these NRC licensed cask systems. The calculated operational exposures are very conservative, as the assumed dose rates on and around the transport/transfer casks are assumed to be for design basis transportation sources and the assumed dose rates on and around the storage overpacks are based on design basis source terms in the existing storage FSARs. These storage source terms, in most cases, are much higher than what can be accommodated by the transportation cask and therefore significant decay is required prior to shipment to the WCS CISF.
The maximum calculated occupational exposure for normal transfer operations is 232 person-rem when the 5,000 MTHM and GTCC waste canisters are placed into storage.
Chapter 9 and its associated appendices provide a detailed evaluation of occupational exposures.
1.4.2 Normal Operations - Establishment of the Controlled Area (Site) Boundary An analysis was performed to identify the location of the controlled area boundary to ensure compliance with 10 CFR 72.104 (a) (dose rate 25 mrem/yr). As noted above, the dose rates assumed on the surface of the storage overpacks are based on the design basis source terms in the licensed storage systems at the reactor sites.
The annual expected yearly dose at the nearest site boundary for the fully loaded (5,000 MTHM plus GTCC waste canisters) WCS CISF is 4.29E-5 person-rem, including direct radiation (including skyshine) and contributions due to inhalation, submersion and ingestion from non-leak-tight containers. Chapters 9 and 11 and their associated appendices provide a detailed evaluation of site boundary exposures.
1.4.3 Accident Analysis Safety Analysis Process 1.4.3.1 Chapter 12 and design specific appendices provide analysis for the off-normal and accident conditions for the approved storage systems. Chapter 12 defines the design basis events for each authorized cask system. The WCS CISF Technical Specifications [1-4] complete the design safety basis by defining the operational controls and limits placed on WCS CISF operations and lists the necessary administrative controls or programs established for the site. Chapter 14 provides the basis for the Technical Specifications.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-16 Safety Analysis Methodology 1.4.3.2 The storage of spent nuclear fuel at the WCS CISF is based on the use of cask systems that have been previously approved by the NRC. The associated systems storage FSARs and transportation SARs provide design basis information regarding radiological hazards for the individual systems to be used at the WCS CISF. The FSARs/SARs identify design basis events that are classified as either normal, off-normal or accidents for each approved system. Normal events include such operations as transportation package receipt, inspection, transfer of the canisters to the storage overpack and storage at the WCS CISF until ready to be transported off-site. Off-normal events are those events which are expected to occur with moderate frequency during transfer and storage operations. In general, the consequences of these events have no radiological safety implications and do not have a significant impact on ITS design functions. Accident conditions are those events that occur infrequently and could reasonably be expected to occur during the lifetime of the WCS CISF. These events include low probability design basis accidents which establish a conservative design basis for ITS SSCs. These events include natural phenomena such as earthquakes and tornados, and man-made events such as cask drop.
Results 1.4.3.3 For most of the accidents analyzed, there are no radiological consequences produced as a direct result of the event, and there are no impacts on ITS design functions. These negligible consequences are attributed primarily to the use of NRC approved storage systems and the implementation of operating controls and limits. However, recovery operations may involve some occupational exposure to personnel. The analyses results indicate that there are no credible accident scenarios for the WCS CISF which would result in a loss of confinement accident or a radiological release in excess of the radiological dose criterion of 10 CFR 72.106.
Technical Specifications 1.4.3.4 The WCS CISF Technical Specifications [1-4] define the operating controls and limits and the administrative controls. The Technical Specifications, including the relevant portions of the individual storage system Technical Specifications, provide defined operating limits and controls for each system for storage at the WCS CISF.
The administrative controls presented in this SAR include the organization and management structure, response plans, procedures, programs, controls, record keeping requirements, review and audit procedures, and reporting necessary to assure that the operations involved in the storage of canisterized spent nuclear fuel and GTCC waste at the WCS CISF are performed in a safe manner.
WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility Safety Analysis Report Revision 2 Page 1-17 1.4.4 Safety Management The ISP management policy and highest priority is to ensure that all operations are conducted safely. Implementation of this policy is made through a consolidated safety management program. This program entails radiation protection, conduct of operations, and quality assurance.
Radiation Protection Program 1.4.4.1 The radiation protection program ensures that all operations are performed in a manner that ensures occupational exposures are maintained within prescribed regulatory limits and are ALARA. ALARA considerations have been integrated into the design of the WCS CISF and incorporated into all operating procedures.
Conduct of Operations Program 1.4.4.2 The conduct of operations program ensures that the WCS CISF is operated in a professional and safe manner. Highlights of this program include the following:
The ISP organization provides clear lines of responsibilities and ensures independence of organizations. This ensures ISP has an effective organization with appropriate oversight.
ISP performs an extensive test program, including an operational readiness review, prior to beginning normal operations. The test program ensures that the WCS CISF structures, systems, and components are operated in a dependable manner so as to perform their intended function.
ISP maintains a systematic training program to ensure proficiency of all facility personnel.
ISP maintains a formal procedure management program that ensures all ITS operations are performed using detailed written, approved, and controlled procedures.
ISP joint venture member Waste Control Specialists has a detailed emergency preparedness program and conducts periodic drills and training. This ensures that site personnel are prepared to respond to emergencies as they arise.
Quality Assurance Program 1.4.4.3 Interim Storage Partners has adopted the TN Americas Quality Assurance Program for its use. The TN Americas Quality Assurance Program Description Manual (QAPDM) is docketed under 71-0250. The activities associated with the WCS CISF are governed by the applicable portions of the TN Americas QA program as described in TN Americas LLC Quality Assurance Program Description Manual for 10 CFR Part 71, Subpart H and 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G, [1-2]. The QA program meets the requirements of 10 CFR 72, Subpart G.
