• §72.42 aging management plan not applicable at this time.

• §72.42 timely renewal provision not applicable

• 10 CFR 72.42(a) allows initial terms up to 40 years from date of issuance

• DOE intends to extend the initial license term from 20 to 40 years, re-setting the initial license expiration date to 11/30/2044

• Because neither the facility nor any Part 72 important-to-safety components exist, a license amendment to extend the license term is necessary, a license renewal is not.

Idaho Cleanup Project Facility Location 5

TMI-2 ISFSI Idaho Nuclear Technology and Engineering Complex

Idaho Cleanup Project Facility Description 6

Idaho Spent Fuel Facility is an ISFSI designed to store material already at the Idaho National Laboratory under DOE control:

- Peach Bottom Unit 1 spent fuel (~1600 elements)

- Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics (TRIGA) spent fuel

(~1600 elements)

- Shippingport spent fuel (~2,970 rods)

Facility operating concept is:

- Receive the material in the cask receipt area

- Perform remote-manual, dry repackaging of the material into new welded Idaho Standard Canisters

- Transfer the Idaho Standard Canisters to individual storage tubes located in the storage vault area

- Storage tubes are closed with bolted lids having dual metallic seals
