V. McCree UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 MEMORANDUM TO: Margaret M. Doane Executive Director for Operations FROM: Patricia K. Holahan, Director Division of Rulemaking Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
SUBJECT:
DIRECT FINAL RULE: LIST OF APPROVED SPENT FUEL STORAGE CASKS: NAC INTERNATIONAL NAC-UMS UNIVERSAL STORAGE SYSTEM, CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE NO. 1015, AMENDMENT NO. 6 (RIN 3150-AK12; NRC-2018-0075)
Enclosed for your signature area direct final rule and a companion proposed rule (Enclosures 1 and 2), amending the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions spent fuel storage regulations by revising the NAC International NAC-UMS listing within the List of approved spent fuel storage casks to include Amendment No. 6 to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1015. Amendment No. 6 revises the CoCs technical specifications to: 1) remove a redundant requirement for inspection of the concrete cask and canister; 2) revise a limiting condition of operation (LCO) for heat removal to clarify that LCO not met means that the concrete heat removal system is inoperable; 3) remove an inspection requirement that is already covered by LCO surveillance requirements for off-normal, accident, or natural phenomenon events; and 4) clarify that immediate restoration of a concrete casks heat removal capabilities means within the design-basis time limit in Section 11.2.13 of the Final Safety Analysis Report, or within the time limit for a less than design-basis heat load case, as evaluated. Amendment No. 6 also clarifies that an LCO for loaded cask surface dose rates applies prior to storage conditions, when dose rates will be highest.
CONTACTS: Robert MacDougall, NMSS/MSTR 301-415-5175 Bernard White, NMSS/DSFM 301-415-6577
