SUBJECT:

TASK INTERFACE AGREEMENT (TIA) REGARDING OYSTER CREEK MOVEMENT OF FUEL USING THE DRY FUEL STORAGE CASK TRANSFER l SYSTEM WITH THE PLANT IN COLD SHUTDOWN Your memorandum dated August 6, 1996, forwarded the subject TIA directed at answering several questions that your staff had regarding the 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation prepared by the licensee to allow movement of spent fuel from the spent fuel pool to the dry storage facility while the plant is in cold shutdown.

While some of your concerns raised in the TIA can be addressed based on the staff's review of the previous Oyster Creek 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation dated February 1996 for movement of the fully loaded dry storage cask during operations, other issues raised are best '

answered after the staff reviews the latest 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation.

The staff intends to inspect the licensee's completed 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation before they actually move the fuel. The movement of the fuel cannot take place until the licensee has completed a " dry run" without loading fuel in the cask and gives the NRC a 30-day notice of intent to move fuel. The technical staff will conduct the inspection when it is closer to the time the licensee performs the " dry run." The inspection which may involve observing the " dry run," will address the issues raised in your TIA. The staff will issue either a stand alone report or an inspection feeder at the conclusion of the inspection.
