1.0 Background
This task is a follow-on to the expired Task 22 of Contract NRC-02-90-009. Task 22 was initiated in June 1993 to amend the Certificate of Compliance (COC) for the VSC-24 dry spent fuel storage cask (COC No.1007) to accommodate the storage of fuel control rod components with the fuel assemblies. The task was modified in December of 1993 to include new analyses on seismicity and dose versus distance calculations. Sierra Nuclear Corporation (SNC) submitted a request in August 1994 for several changes including an increase in maximum initial enrichment to 5.0% from 4.2%
and redesigned lifting lugs. The task was modified again in December 1994.
Since SAIC was not able to complete the required review under Task 22 when the task and contract expired, Task 11 was initiated to complete the unfinished portion of Task 22.
On June 28,1996, SAIC submitted the Task 11 contract deliverables to NRC (i.e., the draft Safety Evaluation Report (SER) and COC). The completion of the review was put on hold by the NRC because several issues involving the VSC-24 had emerged (e.g., hydrogen generation from coatings, weld problems, and drain-time limit). Subsequent to resolution of the weld and drain time issues, NRC requested that SAIC review the VSC-24 Safety Analysis Report (SAR) and compare it with the recently released " Standard Review Plan for Dry Cask Storage"(SRP, NUREG-1536) and any other applicable NRC guidance documents, and prepare questions. This request was l
documented under Modification 3 to Task 11.
On August 24,1998, SAIC submitted a contract deliverable to NRC (i.e., a list of questions related to the VSC-24 SAR, Revision 1). However, on October 8,1998, SNC requested a withdrawal of the Revision i submittal. In addition, SNC plans to submit an amended VSC-24 SAR Revision 1 in November 1998 and a Revision 2 submittalin May 1099.
Consequently, Task 11 requires modification to allow for continued technical support on the two upcoming VSC-24 amendment requests.
2.0 Objective The objective of this task is for SAIC to provide technical assistance to NRC in review of VSC-24 cask analyses to support SAR amendments to COC No.1007, and to provide technical support to NRC staff during the rulemaking process.
3.0 Technical and other Special Qualifications Required Technical expertise is required from: (1) individuals that provided technical review input in past NRC l
submittals or (2) individuals that are thoroughly familiar with specific technical aspects of the VSC-24

l 6.0 Meetings and Travel Meetings may be requested by the technical project manager (TPM) or SAIC on an as needed basis and may be held at NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland or SAIC's office in McLean, Virginia.
Three meetings at NRC's headquarters are anticipated, but if needed, attendance at one CRGR l
meeting at headquarters will be required. If during the review process, an area of review requires technical discussions with SNC, SAIC may be requested to attend. Therefore, assume one trip for two people to the SNC's facility in Scotts Valley, California.
