SUBJECT:

SUMMARY

OF MARCH 2-3,1999, MEETING WITH NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE AND INDUSTRY On March 2-3,1999, the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) sponsored a meeting between I representatives of the dry storage industry and staff from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) Spent Fuel Project Office (SFPO). The meeting provided an open forum for discussions of technical issues that are common to the storage and transport of spent fuel, including l lessons leamed, to expedite the cask certification process. The public meeting was noticed on February 3,1999, and was held at the University Club in Washington, DC. Approximately 150 .

individuals were in attendance representing utilities, vendors, contractors, and fabricators.

To encourage open and candid discussions, the meeting was conducted in a workshop format.

Opening remarks were made by Lynnette Hendricks, Director, Plant Support, Nuclear Generation Division, NEl, and E. William Brach, Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, NRC. The major topics discussed were application and use of standard review plans (SRPs), dry cask storage lessons leamed, use and application of interim staff guidance (ISG), technical specifications, Part 72 rulemaking, ASME Code issues, and inspection observations, lf During the meeting, SFPO management discussed industry's and staff's progress and expectations in the licensing process. Issues discussed included:

dF OS

  • Staff will continue to apply lessons leamed from completed casework to facilitate both technical and process improvements
  • Quality of applications has improved significantly. However, several areas require continued improvement including ASME Code use, identification of SRP deviations, and specification of appropriate features on Part 71 drawings
  • Implementation of improved standardized technical specifications
  • The staff requested that any changes in application schedules be communicated prornptly, so that, resources can be efficiently utilized ,

  • Applicants should bring unique designs and design features to the staff's attention early in the application process so that appropriate resources can be made available for a i timely review l l

In addition, SFPO management stated that SRP's serve as guidance to our reviewers and are l not the only way to meet regulatory requirements, and that the ISGs are used as interim guidance until SRPs are updated. The industry stated that issuance of ISGs has been a significant benefit to the vendors, and the industry is anxious to work with the staff to further clarity additionalissues.

The meeting included a round table discussion period wherein NRC staff responded to questions relating to certain specific topics deemed important by the industry. The topics included: ASME Code initiatives, design margin, uniformity of review, fission gas release fraction, and burnup credit. The industry presented an initiative it is pursuing to provide a standard licensing approach regarding ASME Code requirements. The Subgroup on Containment Systems for Spent Fuel and High Level Waste Transport Packagings anticipates publishing the new rules for WC within 18 months and making them effective 6 months after publication.

i The Workshop was continued on March 3,1999, with SFPO staff and industry discussing development of a plan to resolve open issues. The industry and NRC have agreed to schedule future meetings to continue the dialogue on a number of issues. The following is a list of ISGs that are currently under development and that will be provided to industry for comment in the near future: (1) fuel assemblies with burnup greater than 45,000 GWD/MTU, (2) rod buckling, (3) burnup credit, and (4) ASME Code deviations.

Industry Initiatives To expedite the cask certification process, the industry is pursuing the following initiatives:

1. Development of conservative source terms for fission products release
2. Develop rational for the demarcation between credible and non-credible accident scenarios.
3. Approaches for application of probabilistic risk approach (PRA) in licensing submittals -

the staff stated at the workshop that it encourages the use of PRA to provide for a risk-informed approach in the licensing process.

V-S. Shankman Uncomino Meetinas Because a number of issues were raised the require additional time for resolution, future meetings will be scheduled to discuss these topics:

)

  • Standardized Technical Specification -meeting scheduled for April 20,1999 in the NRC Auditorium

. ASME Code activities

. Classification of damaged fuel - NEl to provide additional information I

  • Lift heights (Part 50 vs. Part 72 requirements) - industry to provide more information Other issues were discussed at the meeting that were considered important. However, they were regarded as issues that could be addressed some time in the future. One issue relates to the integration of 10 CFR Parts 71 and 72 requirements. Specifically, the discrepancy between the certificate periods for transportation packages (5 years) and storage casks (20 years) and potential impacts the time differences may have in the review of dual purpose casks. The staff requested industry views on the draft ISG topics that were discussed and NEl accepted the responsibility to compile industry comments on the proposed ISGs and submit them to the staff by March 12,1999 (comments were received from NEl on March 12,1999). No regulatory decisions were requested or made. No proprietary information was disseminated.

Industrv Proposal

'C. Fuel Classification Protocols in the roundtable workshop held July 1-2,1998, general agreement was reached between the NRC and industry on the appropriate strategy to use in classifying and shipping fuel that had undergone either cladding er fuel assembly mechanical damage. The classification process would use the following criteria to determine what was " Damaged Fuel." Fuel would be classified as damaged ifit met at least one of the conditions called out in either of the two following categories.

  • Cladding Integrity - Fuel containing a breech of cladding greater than pinholes or hairline cracks such that there is the potential for the loss of signi6 cant fuel particulate
  • Mechanical Damage - Fuel assembly's structural integrity compromised such that special handling is required or assembly geometry no longer permits normal insertion or removal from standard size storage racks or canister baskets.

Once fuel has been classi6ed ks " Damaged Fuel," the fuel must be canned in a separate container that is designed to prevent the loss of fuel particulate but need not be a sealed, pressure-containing vessel.

In order to implement the agreed upon strategy, a system of procedures and protocols must be created to provide reasonable assurance that fuel is properly classified and any necessary corrective actions taken. At the workshop, the NRC requested the industry to formulate the procedures to provide proper fuel classi6 cation. The objective of these procedures is to provide ,

adequate assurance to the regulators and to the licensees that the fuel has been properly classified while at the same time not placing unnecessary and onerous burdens on the utilities. Below is an outline of the suggested classi6 cation procedures and protocols.

1. Records shall be created and maintained, following appropriate QA requirements, that record the various steps taken and the resulting outcome of the fuel classification process.

This record may be called the " Fuel Assessment Record." Separate deternunations to assess the status of cladding integrity and assembly mechanical damage shall be performed.

2. CladdingIntegrity A. Reactor Records
i. Use the reactor operating records to identify specific leakmg assemblies or to determine if there are likely to be any failures in a given fuel

. discharge. It is acknowledged that the type and quality of core performance and radiochemistry records vary from plant to plant and also with the age of the plant.

Each plant will specify which records will be used as the basis for mrking the failure classification decision.

ii Record the resuh ofthe operating records review by concluding one ofthe following for each assembly: a) non leaker, b) questionable leaker or no records

, available, or c) known leaker. Based on the determination, the following actions would be followed.

9800_RWUkel

a) Non lenker -permissable to ship and/or store without takmg any funher action.

b) Questionable leaker or no records available - additional verification required either in the form of special visual inspections or conducting a specific leak detection procedure, such as sipping or ultrasonic testing, that is judged to be the best practical technology to assess the fuel I

cladding integrity. It is recognized that the age of the fuel and the nature of some cladding failures makes leak testing a somewhat uncertain science. The results of any additional inspections or testing should be used to classify the fuel I as either a non-leaker or a lenker.

c) Leaker - provide additional data or analyses that suppons a conclusion that the cladding defect is minor in nature, typically charactenzed as a pin hole or hairhne crack that would not resuh in the loss of significant fuel I paniculate, and that the assembly can therefore be stored or shipped without taking any funher action. If this detennination cannot be reached, the assembly would be classified as " Damaged Fuel."

The detemunation made as the result of the Step 2.A process d) must be documented and signed off by at least two people, one who must serve in a quality verification capacity.

A. VisualInspection

i. A visual inspection will be performed in conjunction with the determination made in Step 2.A above. For a non leaking fuel assembly (a), this inspection need not include any special procedures or equipment other than the nonnal observations made dunng normal fuel handling and transfers. Such inspection would verify that the assembly was in normal geometry and had sustained no damage that might interfere with safe fuel handling and fuel movement. There would be no requirement for any film or video record and the only required documentation would be by exception for those assemblies observed to have sustained visible damage.

i ii. For categories b and c, this inspection would require the use of at least video equipment and the resuhs must be recorded on some medium such as video tape. Should an assembly be classified as " damaged" and a comnutment made to can the assembly, there would be no further visual inspections required.

iii. The results and conclusions of special visual inspections must be signed off by at least two people, one who must serve in a quality verification capacity.

A. Should a fuel assembly be classified as " Damaged Fuel" as a resuh of either 2.A or 2.B, the assembly shall be specirlly designated and placed under siTict administrative controls to insure that it will not be loaded pending either subsequent

.anning or funhet inspection activities. .

i. Past history or current experience indicates that the fuel can be {

grappled and handled in a normal manner with no geometry interference detected 1 as the fuel was moved between storage spaces or into storage or transport baskets.

ii. Based on observations made in the visual inspections described in Part 2.B above, that there is no observable damage to the fuel bundle hardware, such as grid straps, end nozzles, etc. which indicate that the fuel requires any kind of special handling to insure safe and routine loading and unloading.

The completed 'Tuel Assessment Record" would become part of the fuel assembly's permanent record at the reactor site and would be available for routine NRC audit or inspection. It need not i be sent with the fuel upon shipment or need not become an addendum to other currently required regulatory paperwork such as the nuclear material accountability records.

ASME CODE SECTION lit. DIVISION 3

. The Subgroup on Containment Systems for Spent Fuel and High Level Waste Transport Packagings (SG NUPACK, SC lil) has modified its scope to include storage canister construction rules

  • The rules will covar " confinement boundary" items only, and will be placed in a new Subsedion WC of Division 3 (Subsection WA contains General Requirements and Subsection WB contains rules for transport cask containment boundary items stamped TP)

.

  • The confinement boundary will be stamped SP

+ SG NUPACK is also considering a new Subsection WD covering rules for processing (?) and storage of high level waste EPRI i

ASME CODE SECTION lli. DIVISION 3

  • SG NUPACK voted on February 23,1999,in Birmingham, AL, to

" Fast Track" the Subsection WC rules

  • SG NUPACK also will be maintaining a much closer relationship with the SC lil Subgroup on General Requirements (NCA), so that only the essential deviations between NCA and WA will exist
  • The Subsection WC rules will be patterned after Subsection NC rules of Division 1, except that " design by analysis" rules will be followed (NC 3200)
  • In addition, the special requirements for weld joints in vessels designed to NC 3200 (NC 4260) will be adopted EPRI ASME CODE SECTION lli. DIVISION 3
  • John Stevenson, Chair, SG NUPACK, will select a fast track project manager
  • Schedule is such that the first draft of the rules will be available by the May 1999 meeting of SG NUPACK in Greensboro, NC
  • Rules will be written wherever possible by reference to existing rules in the ASME Code e Rules will follow existing Subsection WA scope requirements for the third party inspection agency, for the Class TP (SP) i Certificate Holder, and for the Dasign Owner and the Packaging  !

G Technical Specifications for Dry Fuel Storage i

Bryan Ford i Entergy NEl Workshop March 1999 Purpose of Technical Specifications The Commission's Policy

+

The purpose of Technical Specifications is to impose those conditions or limitations upon reactor operation necessary to obviate the possibliity of an abnormal situation or event giving rise to an immediate threat to the oublic health and safety by establishing those conditions of operation which cannot be changed without prior Commission approval and by identifying those features which are of controIIIno Importance to safety.

i O

Part 50 Experience before ITS

+ A new plant's Tech Specs where developed case-by case based on what was approved for the last plant

+ Personalitiss influenced the product causing inconsistencies between licensees

+

+ Schedule pressures many times influenced decisions

+

+ Without defined criteria the trend was towards including essentially all Commission requirements and the resolution to all issues

+

Part 50 Result The Commission's Conclusions y The Technical Specifications become so controlling of all aspects of plant operation that unneeded requirements in the Technical Specifications were diverting both staff and licensee attention from the more important requirements to the extent that the excessive requirements "resultedin an adverse but unavantifiable imosct on safetv".

More is not always better l

(

E Part 50 Improvement Process

+ Developed human factor format, style, and usage rules.

+ Generic continuous improvement process

_ NEl/NRC TSTF process

  • Developed the 50.36 Tech Spec selectior. criteria

+ Focusing the Tech Specs on the Operator results in in Tech Specs focused of immediate threats to the public

+ ,

Status of ISFSI Technical Specifications

+ Some of the human factor format, style, and usage rules need consistent application

+ Part 72 and a sarnple of Tech Specs show the lessons learned

! in Part 50 need to be applied

What Should Stay Conditions or limitations necessary to obviate the possibility of an abnormal situation or event giving rise to an immediate threat to the public health and safety

+ LCOs and SRs of controlling importance to safety

- Integrity LCOs

+ Design features which realistically may be changed by the operating staff and pose an immediate threat e

What Should Go Conditions or limitations not associated with an immediate threat to the public health and safety e

+ ltems controlled by regulations

- Part 20 ALARA

- Reporting requirements e items controlled by the QA Plan

- Procedures '

- Training

! - Design e!,ments controlled by the purchasingfengineering procesu

(. ~

Other improvements . . . _

+

+ Remove the Bases from the C of C and allow 72.48 changes

... +

+ Develop a Tech Spec template for vendorslutilities to use

+ Rigorously apply Tech Spec format and usage rules

- Remember SRs must be met (unless excepted) whenever you are within the LCO Applicability regardless of the frequency l

Conclusions

+ Tech Specs must focus on safety

+ More is not always better

.

  • Rules are needed to keep Tech Specs focused on safety

+ Risk to the public and workers is lower for dry fuel storage than operating reactors.

  • Tech Spec requirements not needed for power reactors are not needed for dry fuel storage

+ Part 72 Tech Specs should learn from Part 50 Tech Specs lessons learned

Industry Comments: )

- Part 72 Changes Related to 50.59 Rulemaking I John Dosa l

(

Entergy i NEl Workshop March 1999 l I

4 I

Introduction

  • The proposed rulemaking to revise 10CFR50.59 also includes many proposed changes to 10CFR72.

+ The proposed changes did not make 10CFR72.48 consistent with 10CFR50.59.

+

+ Other changes were proposed beyond those necessary to revise 10CFR72.48.

+

+ Most industry comments adopted in SECY 99-054 e

/

10CFR72.48/10CFR50.59 Consistency

+ The current and initially proposed 10CFR72.48 were not consistent with 10CFR50.59

- Seven review criteria for 10CFR50.59 vs. nine for 10CFR72.48

. Significant increase in occupational exposure

. Significant unreviewed environmentalimpact l - Annual report of 10CFR72.48 evaluations for cask changes vs. biennial for changes to reactor systems

+ The process for making changes to casks or reactors should 1 be consistent. SECY.99 054 increases consistency.

Amendment Process

+ Changes are proposed to specify that 10CFR72.48 applies to site-specific and general licensees, as

=

well as certificate holders.

+ 10CFR72.48 revisions are proposed to allow site-specific licensees, general licensees, and certificate holders to make amendments if the criteria in 10CFR72.48 not met.

+

+ Proposed 10CFR72.244 has not been revised to

  • include generallicensees l

l i

l l

2 l

SAR Update Requirements

  • Site-specific cask SARs currently require annual updates vs.

biennial for reactors

- Burdensome updates every six months prior to use

+ Proposed requirements for annual SAR updates for general licensees and certificate holders

- No schedule for 1st update (10CFR72.248)

- No cutoff date for information to be included in SAR

, updates

+ Proposed requirements to describe the effects of changes

, made to the SARs causes significant additional burden

,

  • Proposed wording of SAR update regulations for casks provide different emphasis than 10CFR50.71(e) for reactors

+

10CFR72.48 Equivalent for Part 71

+ No equivalent process to 10CFR72.48 to make changes to transportation cask SARs has been proposed

+

+ Process of increased importance due to near term

, issuance of dual purpose cask licenses

- Changes made under 10CFR72.48 for storage .

may also affect transportation SAR (which l requires NRC approved amendment) l

+ New Staff proposal for supplemental rulemaking 3

)

l Conclusions i

+ Proposed changes to Part 72 should be consistent with Part 50 l

l

+

l

  • Changes should a, Iso provide consistency between site-specific and general licensees, as well as certificate holders

+

+ Most ofindustries comments on the proposed i

rulemaking have been adopted by the Staff I
