www.holtec.com l Page 2 Licensing Efficiency Licensing efficiency is linked to Safety o Increased efficiency allows increased focus on evaluations related to safety Demands on efficiency / safety will increase in both storage and transportation licensing o Consolidated Storage, Decommissioning, Transportation CoC/TS Graded Approach / Pilot o 10CFR72 CoC/TS documents are extensive, 100 to 300 pages not unusual. Current NRC/NEI/Industry initiative on a graded approach for the CoCs/TSs.
Pilot licensing amendment in progress We are not there yet o Safety considerations still intermingled with more formal compliance considerations Improvements are an ongoing process o Improving efficiency is a journey, not a destination Going Forward o Additional Pilots, Topical Reports
www.holtec.com l Page 3 Holtec Innovation Having our own manufacturing facilities provides us with the ideal basis to develop and implement safety improvements in design and manufacturing Example: Ongoing focus on developing technologies to reduce the risk of stress corrosion cracking in safety related components o Reduction of overall amount of welds and heat input per weld for canisters o Laser Peening of welds o Development of new welding technologies such as hybrid laser welding to combat aging related issues in dry storage
