Holtec International Holtec Center One Holtec Drive Marlton, NJ 08053 Safety Analysis Report Title Holtec International Final Safety Analysis Report for the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System This certificate is conditioned upon fulfilling the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, as applicable, the attached Appendix A (Technical Specifications) and Appendix B (Approved Contents and Design Features), and the conditions specified below:
APPROVED SPENT FUEL STORAGE CASK Model No.: HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System DESCRIPTION:
The HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System consists of the following components: (1) interchangeable multi-purpose canisters (MPCs), which contain the fuel; (2) a storage overpack (HI-STORM FW), which contains the MPC during storage; and (3) a transfer cask (HI-TRAC VW), which contains the MPC during loading, unloading and transfer operations. The MPC stores up to 37 pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies or up to 89 boiling water reactor fuel assemblies.
The HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System is certified as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and in the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Safety Evaluation Report (SER) accompanying the Certificate of Compliance (CoC).
The MPC is the confinement system for the stored fuel. It is a welded, cylindrical canister with a honeycombed fuel basket, a baseplate, a lid, a closure ring, and the canister shell. All MPC components that may come into contact with spent fuel pool water or the ambient environment are made entirely of stainless steel or passivated aluminum/aluminum alloys. The canister shell, baseplate, lid, vent and drain port cover plates, and closure ring are the main confinement boundary components. All confinement boundary components are made entirely of stainless steel. The honeycombed basket provides criticality control.

There are three types of MPCs: the MPC-37, MPC-89 and MPC-32ML. The number suffix indicates the maximum number of fuel assemblies permitted to be loaded in the MPC. All MPC models have the same external diameter.
The HI-TRAC VW transfer cask provides shielding and structural protection of the MPC during loading, unloading, and movement of the MPC from the cask loading area to the storage overpack. The transfer cask is a multi-walled (carbon steel/lead/carbon steel) cylindrical vessel with a neutron shield jacket or neutron shield cylinder attached to the exterior and a retractable bottom lid used during transfer operations.
The HI-STORM FW storage overpack provides shielding and structural protection of the MPC during storage.
The overpack is a heavy-walled steel and concrete, cylindrical vessel. Its side wall consists of plain (un-reinforced) concrete that is enclosed between inner and outer carbon steel shells. The overpack has air inlets at the bottom and air outlets at the top to allow air to circulate naturally through the cavity to cool the stored MPC. The inner shell has supports attached to its interior surface to guide the MPC during insertion and removal and provide a means to protect the MPC confinement boundary against impactive or impulsive loadings. A loaded MPC is stored within the HI-STORM FW storage overpack in a vertical orientation.

ATTACHMENT 2 TO HOLTEC LETTER 5018075 Approved Contents 2.0 2.3 Decay Heat Limits This section provides the limits on fuel assembly decay heat for storage in the HI-STORM FW System. The method to verify compliance, including examples, is provided in Chapter 13 of the HI-STORM FW FSAR. If a heat load pattern is established following the Holtec Thermal Methodology Topical report, the following decay heat limits in Section 2.3.1 do not apply.
2.3.1 Fuel Loading Decay Heat Limits Tables 2.3-1A, 2.3-1B, and 2.3-1C provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-37. Tables 2.3-2A and 2.3-2B provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-89. No drying time limits are required for decay heat values meeting the limits in these tables when using FHD to dry moderate or high burnup fuel and when using VDS to dry moderate burnup fuel. Drying time limits apply when using VDS to dry high burnup fuel with decay heat values meeting the limits in these tables. Tables 2.3-3 and 2.3-4 provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-37 and MPC-89, respectively, with no drying time limits imposed, when using VDS to dry high burnup fuel. Table 2.3-5 provides the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for the MPC-32ML for both FHD and VDS drying. The per cell limits in these tables apply to cells containing undamaged fuel or damaged fuel in DFCs/DFIs or fuel debris in DFCs.
Figures 2.3-1 through 2.3-14 provide alternative loading patterns for the MPC-37 and MPC-89, with undamaged fuel and a combination of undamaged fuel and damaged fuel in DFCs/DFIs and fuel debris in DFCs.
The per cell limits in these figures are applicable when using vacuum drying or FHD to dry moderate or high burnup fuel in accordance with Table 3-1 of Appendix A of the CoC. The MPC-37 patterns are based on the fuel length to be stored in the MPC, see Table 2.3-6.
A minor deviation from the prescribed loading pattern in an MPCs permissible contents to allow one slightly thermally-discrepant fuel assembly per quadrant to be loaded as long as the peak cladding temperature for the MPC remains below the ISG-11 Rev 3 requirements is permitted for essential dry storage campaigns to support decommissioning.
