Dear Fr. Pope:
Enclosed is an abstract of a proposed paper for PATRAM '80:
"The Development of the U.S. Regulato.7 Base Covering the Storage of Spent Fuel in an ISFSI" i
I suggest that this subject could be placed in either of two sessions:
' Regulatory Work arid Standards
' Shipment, Intermediate Storage and Handling of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Vastes i

Spent fuel storage in facilities which are not part of a reactor plant have been llicensedunderthegeneralregulctionscoveringthepossessionofnrelearmaterials, jl0 CFR Parts 30, 40 and 70.
However, with an anticipated increase in such activities,
,it was. recognized that more specific regulatory guidance was needed, about mid-1974.
l. Regulatory Guide 3.24 was issued in December,1974. It covered the license t
- application, siting,. design and planc protection for an ISFSI. Subsequent develop-lments, including generic environmental impact statements by both the NRC and the IU.S. Department of Energy, indicated the need for a firmer regulatory base and more
! detailed guidance.
A new regulation has now been developed - 10 CFR Part 72, " Licensing Requirements for the Storage of Spent Fuel in an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation." In addition, the following supporting guides, topical reports, and standards deal with fvariousaspectsofthissubject:
R.G. 3.44, " Standard Format and Content for the SAR on Spent Fuel Storage In An ISFSI - Water Basin Type" NUREG/CR-0163, " Comments on Fuel Crud as a Safety and Operational Factor i
of Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations (ISFSI)"
i NUREG/CR-0649, " Spent Fuel Heatup Following Loss of Water During Storage"
- NUREG/CR-0668, "An Evaluation of Potential Chemical / Mechanical Degradation Processes Affecting Fuel and Structural Materials Under Lopg-Term Water l
S torag'e" NUREG/CR-0956, " Commentary of Spent Fuel Storage at Morris Operation' NUREG/CR-1233, " Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel" ANSI Standard N 46.2, Rev. 1, 1978, " Quality Assurance Program Require-ments for Pout Reactor Nuclear Fuel Cycle Facilities" ANSI Standard N 57.7, " Design Criteria for an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation - Water Pool Type"
- ANSI Standard N 2.19, " Guidelines for Establishing Site-Related Parameters for Site Selection and Design of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation" i
The emphasis to date has been on the development of standards that are applicable
!to uater basins. With the developing interest in various modes of dry storage, we-expect a continuing standards development effort covering a broader spectrum of modes f storage over the next few years.
