1. GENERAL INFORMATION Introduction The FuelSolutions ' Storage System Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1026, Revision 0

[1.1] was approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) pursuant to 10 CFR Part 72 for a term of 20 years effective February 15, 2001, for storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) by general licensees. The expiration date for CoC 1026 is February 15, 2021. As the certificate holder of CoC 1026, Westinghouse Electric Company, LLC. is applying for the renewal of CoC 1026 for a term of 40 years in accordance with the 10 CFR 72.240(a) [1.2].

This application for CoC 1026 renewal includes the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) information required by 10 CFR 72.240(c). The FSAR content of this application is based on the guidance provided in NUREG-1927 [1.3] and covers the Model Number W150 storage cask; the W100 transfer cask; and the W21 and W74 canisters.

In accordance with NUREG-1927, this renewal application is based on the continuation of the approved design basis throughout the period of extended operation. The identification and management of potential aging degradation mechanisms for different material/environment combinations was based on the guidance of NUREG-2214 [1.4] in support of this renewal application.

1.1 FuelSolutions Storage System Summary Description This section provides a summary description of the FuelSolutions Storage System. A more complete description of the FuelSolutions Storage System structures, systems and components (SSC) is contained in Section 2.2.2 of this renewal application. A complete description of the FuelSolutions Storage System is contained in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSARs [2.3, 2.4, and 2.5] referenced in Chapter 2 of this renewal application.

1-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 for radiological protection, criticality control, and maintenance of structural and thermal safety margins.

1.1.2 Principal Components of the FuelSolutions Storage System 1.1.2.1 FuelSolutions W21 and W74 Canisters The FuelSolutions W21 and W74 canisters are designed for storage in the FuelSolutions W150 Storage Cask, on-site transfer and loading in the FuelSolutions W100 Transfer Cask. The W21 canister can store up to 21 PWR spent fuel assemblies and the W74 canister can store up to 64 BWR spent fuel assemblies. The major components of these canisters are a basket assembly and a shell assembly. The shell assembly is designed as the confinement boundary for on-site transfer and storage conditions. The basket assembly is sealed inside the canister shell assembly and maintains the position of the SNF assemblies and neutron absorbing materials, thus providing criticality control.

1.1.2.2 FuelSolutionsW150 Storage Cask The FuelSolutionsW150 Storage Cask consists of a modular reinforced concrete structure with three cylindrical segments, and a concrete and steel cover at the top end. Incorporated within the cavity of the storage cask are a thick carbon steel liner, an aluminum thermal shield, carbon steel guide rails to center the canister, and carbon steel support rails with a high strength chromium-manganese-nickel austenitic stainless steel (Nitronic 60) facing to provide bearing surfaces during canister transfer operations. The W150 storage cask contains vent openings at the base and near the top. The vent openings allow air flow via natural convection to dissipate the decay heat generated by the canister. Eight high-strength steel, full length tie rods are used to secure the concrete precast segments of the storage cask together. The canister is supported vertically off the bottom of the storage cask cavity by radially arranged, austenitic stainless steel structural pipe sections. The support pipes elevate the base of the canister above the bottom of the storage cask inner cavity and facilitate air flow.

1.1.2.3 FuelSolutionsW100 Transfer Cask The FuelSolutionsW100 Transfer Cask consists of an austenitic stainless steel inner liner and outer structural shell, with lead gamma shielding in the annular space between them. A neutron shield, consisting of an outer austenitic stainless steel jacket forming an annular cavity that is filled with clean, demineralized water, surrounds the structural shell. With the exception of the exterior surface of the neutron shield jacket, all exposed surfaces of the transfer cask (including the top and bottom covers) are austenitic stainless steel to facilitate radiological decontamination. The exterior of the neutron shield jacket has a white epoxy coating to increase its thermal transfer characteristics and to decrease the absorptivity of direct sunlight. This epoxy coating has good continuous service temperature resistance (350°F) and excellent decontamination characteristics. High strength chromium-manganese-nickel austenitic stainless steel (Nitronic 60) rails are welded to the inner liner cavity to facilitate horizontal transfer.

The ends of the transfer cask body include austenitic stainless steel forged flanges that are welded to the structural shell and inner liner. The covers at each end of the cask are bolted to the flanges, providing access to the transfer cask cavity from either end. The bottom cover consists 1-2 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 of a thick austenitic stainless steel plate and solid neutron shielding encased in a shell. The top cover is similar to the bottom cover, except that it includes a two-piece design with a primary top cover assembly and a central ram access cover assembly which is attached to the top cover with bolts.

Two high-strength austenitic stainless steel trunnions are provided near the top end of the transfer cask and are separated by 180° for vertical cask handling operations. Two high-strength austenitic stainless steel trunnions near the bottom end of the transfer cask, separated by 180°,

are provided for cask upending/downending operations onto the transfer skid and transfer cask trailer. The bearing surfaces of the trunnion shoulders are covered by austenitic stainless steel sleeves.

1.1.2.4 Other Site-Specific Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs)

Other site-specific SSCs related to the FuelSolutions Storage System are described and evaluated in Section 2.2.2 of this renewal application. These other site-specific SSCs include:

2. SCOPING EVALUATION Introduction The scoping evaluation identifies those Structures, Systems and Components (SSC) of the FuelSolutions Storage System that are within the scope of the Certificate of Compliance (CoC) 1026 renewal and require further evaluation for potential aging effects. The process and methodology used for the scoping evaluation is described in Section 2.1. The scoping evaluation results are summarized in Section 2.2.

2.1 Scoping Evaluation Process The scoping evaluation of the FuelSolutions Storage System is based on the process described in NUREG-1927 [2.1]. The process determines which SSCs (and associated subcomponents) are within the scope of the renewal. SSCs are considered within the scope of the renewal if they satisfy either of the following criteria:

(1) They are classified as Important-To-Safety (ITS), as they are relied on to do one of the following safety functions:

i. Maintain the conditions required by the regulations or CoC to store spent fuel safely, ii. Prevent damage to the spent fuel during handling and storage, or iii. Provide reasonable assurance that spent fuel can be received, handled, packaged, stored, and retrieved without undue risk to the health and safety of the public These SSCs ensure that important safety functions are met for (1) confinement, (2) radiation shielding, (3) sub-criticality control, (4) heat-removal capability, (5) structural integrity, and (6) retrievability.

(2) They are classified as Not-Important-To-Safety (NITS), but, according to the design basis, its failure could prevent fulfillment of a function that is ITS.

The FuelSolutions Storage System is designed to allow ready retrieval of the FuelSolutions W21 and W74 canisters in accordance with 10 CFR 72.122(l) and satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 72.236(m). The FuelSolutions W21 and W74 canisters are designed for removal of individual or canned spent fuel assemblies and for canister removal from a storage cask for placement into a transfer cask and subsequent transport off-site in the appropriate transportation cask, thus meeting the retrievability requirements of 10 CFR 72.122(l) and 10 CFR 72.236(m).

Retrievability functions are further discussed in Section 3.6 Other Analyses - Retrievability.

The quality categories for the FuelSolutions components are based on NUREG/CR-6407, Classification of Transportation Packaging and Dry Spent Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety,

[2.14] as referenced in the associated SAR. The scoping evaluation ensured that SSCs identified in the design-bases documents were properly differentiated as being either within or not within the scope of the renewal. The identification of SSCs and SSC subcomponents in the scoping evaluation are applied consistently throughout the renewal application.

The SSCs within the scope of renewal are screened to identify and describe the subcomponents with intended functions. SSC subcomponents may degrade by different modes or have different criteria for evaluation from the overall component (i.e., different materials or environments).

The scoping evaluation process (1) defines the intended function of each SSC subcomponent and (2) differentiates SSC subcomponents per scoping criteria (1) and (2), as defined above. This information is tabulated and described in the scoping evaluation in a comprehensive and accurate manner (i.e., SSC subcomponents are not missing from the scoping evaluation; SSC subcomponent naming is consistent with the design bases; intended functions are properly described) by comparing the results of the scoping evaluation to appropriate SAR drawings or tables.

In accordance with NUREG-1927, the FuelSolutions Storage System CoC renewal is based on the continuation of the existing FuelSolutions Current Licensing Basis (CLB) and the intended safety functions of the SSC ITS throughout the period of extended operation and maintenance.

As listed above, the sources of information reviewed in the scoping evaluation process that describe the CLB and the intended safety functions of the SSC ITS include the FuelSolutions Storage System FSARs, CoC 1026, technical specifications, and NRC SERs.

2.2.2.2 W21 Canister The W21 canister is described in Section 1.2.1.3 of the FuelSolutions W21 Canister FSAR [2.4].

The W21 canister is the confinement system for storing up to 21 PWR spent fuel assemblies.

The W21 canister performs confinement, sub-criticality control, heat-removal and radiation shielding safety functions. The W21 canister consists of a shell assembly, top and bottom inner closure plates, vent and drain port covers, internal basket assembly, top and bottom shield plugs, and top and bottom outer closure plates. All structural components are constructed of high strength carbon (electroless nickel coated) or stainless steel. The W21 canister shell, top and bottom inner closure plates, and the vent and drain port tops, port covers and the associated welds form the confinement boundary. The W21 fuel basket is a right circular cylinder configuration with 21 stainless steel guide tubes for the PWR SNF contents. The guide tubes are laterally supported by a series of spacer plates held in position by support rods that run through sleeves between the spacer plates. The guide tubes include neutron poison sheets (Boral) on all four sides.

The FuelSolutions W21 canister subsystem includes two different classes of FuelSolutions canister assemblies. The two classes are as follows:

  • The FuelSolutions W21M class Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) for storage, transportation, and disposal.
  • The FuelSolutions W21T class Transportable Storage Canister (TSC) for storage and transportation.

The two W21 canister classes, W21M and W21T, differ in materials of construction used for the canister shell and basket assembly. Each class of canister has four different types differing in lengths and materials for the canister end plugs. The W21M canister include long, depleted uranium (LD); long steel (LS); short, depleted uranium (SD), and short steel (SS) designs. The W21T canister class consists of a long lead (LL), long steel (LS), short lead (SL), and short steel (SS) canister.

The pressure-retaining components of the W21 canister shell assembly, i.e., the components forming the confinement boundary for storage, are designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III, Class 1 pressure vessel in accordance with the applicable requirements of Subsection NB 2-7 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

[2.7], as discussed in Section 2.1.2 of the W21 Canister FSAR [2.4]. These pressure-retaining components include the canister shell, the top and bottom closure plates, the ports, and the associated welds. The non-pressure-retaining components of the W21 canister shell assembly are designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III, Class 1 component support in accordance with the applicable requirements of Subsection NF [2.7], as discussed in Section 2.1.2 of the W21 Canister FSAR [2.4]. These non-pressure-retaining components include the top and bottom shield plug assemblies, shell extension, bottom end plate, and the associated welds. The W21 basket assembly is designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III core support structure in accordance with the applicable requirements of Subsection NG [2.7], as discussed in Section 2.1.2 of the W21 Canister FSAR [2.4]. All canister shell assembly confinement boundary material and basket assembly structural materials are ASME Code approved stainless steel or carbon steel materials.

2.2.2.3 W74 Canister The W74 canister is described in Section 1.2.1.3 of the FuelSolutions W74 Canister FSAR [2.5].

The W74 canister is the confinement system for storing up to 64 BWR spent fuel assemblies.

The W74 canister performs confinement, sub-criticality control, heat-removal and radiation shielding safety functions. The W74 canister consists of a shell assembly, top and bottom inner closure plates, vent and drain port covers, internal basket assembly, top and bottom shield plugs, and top and bottom outer closure plates. All structural components are constructed of high strength carbon (electroless nickel coated) or stainless steel. The W74 canister shell, top and bottom inner closure plates, and the vent and drain port adapters, port covers and the associated welds form the confinement boundary.

The W74 fuel basket assembly consists of two right circular cylindrical baskets, with a total of 74 cell locations and a capacity of up to 64 BWR assemblies. The ten unfueled cell locations are mechanically blocked to prevent SNF loading in these positions. The guide tubes are supported by a series of spacer plates, held in position by support tubes that run through sleeves placed between the spacer plates. The guide tubes include neutron poison sheets (borated stainless steel) in an arrangement that assures there is a poison sheet between all assemblies.

The FuelSolutions W74 canister subsystem includes two different classes of FuelSolutions canister assemblies. The two classes are:

  • The FuelSolutions W74M class Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) for storage, transportation, and disposal.
  • The FuelSolutions W74T class Transportable Storage Canister (TSC) for storage and transportation.

Unlike other FuelSolutions canister types, the FuelSolutions W74 canister design includes only one canister length and cavity size. Only carbon steel shield plugs are used with the top end shield plug assembly comprised of a shield plate with individual shield plugs. No fuel assembly spacers are used. The configurations of the two FuelSolutions W74 canister classes are described in FuelSolutions W74 Canister FSAR [2.5] Table 1.2-2.

2-8 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 The W74 canister shell assembly is designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III, Class 1 pressure vessel, in accordance with the applicable requirements of Subsection NB [2.7], as discussed in Section 2.1.2 of W74 Canister FSAR [2.5]. The basket assembly is designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III core support structure, in accordance with the applicable requirements of Subsection NG [2.7], as discussed in Section 2.1.2 of W74 Canister FSAR [2.5].

All canister shell assembly confinement boundary material and basket assembly structural materials are ASME Code-approved stainless steel or carbon steel materials.

2.2.2.4 W150 Storage Cask The W150 storage cask is described in Section 1.2.1.1 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3]. The W150 storage cask is the storage overpack for the W21 canister and the W74 canister. There is a long and a short version of the W150 storage cask, both of reinforced concrete with a steel liner. The W150 safety functions include structural integrity, radiation shielding, protection from environmental conditions, and natural convection heat-removal cooling of the canister during long-term storage. The W150 storage cask has an annular air passage to allow the natural circulation of air around the canister. The W150 storage cask is a right circular cylindrical structure that is fabricated primarily from carbon steel and steel-reinforced normal-weight concrete. The W150 storage cask is designed in accordance with the requirements of ACI 349 [2.10] and constructed in accordance with ACI 318 [2.11]. Carbon steel is used to form the inside cavity and air outlet ducts of the W150 storage cask. Carbon steel is also used for the cask lid (i.e., weather cover) and the shield ring. Carbon steel surfaces of these W150 subcomponents that are not embedded inside, or in direct contact with, the W150 concrete are coated with a high emissivity (> .78), corrosion resistant, temperature resistant (400 Degrees F Min) and radiation resistant coating to protect against corrosion during storage.

The W150 storage cask design consists of a modular concrete structure with three cylindrical segments and a steel and concrete cover at the top end. Incorporated within the cavity of the storage cask are a thick steel liner, a metallic thermal shield, and hardened steel guide rails to center the canister and provide bearing surfaces during canister transfer operations. The cask stores long and short canisters by varying only the length of the middle storage cask segment and tie rods.

As noted above, the safety functions of the W150 storage cask include structural integrity, radiation shielding, and heat-removal capability. The W150 storage cask protects the W21 and W74 canisters from damage due to external events, such as tornado generated winds and missiles. The radiation shielding provided by the W150 storage cask reduces occupational exposure and assures that the regulatory site-boundary dose limits are met. Air inlet and outlet ducts are cast into the body of the W150 storage cask to provide natural convection heat-removal cooling of the SNF assemblies during storage.

2.2.2.5 W100 Transfer Cask A detailed description of the W100 transfer cask is provided in Section 1.2.1.2 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3]. The W100 transfer cask is used for W21 and W74 canister loading and unloading operations. The W100 transfer cask provides shielding and heat transfer during canister movements. The W100 is a multi-wall (steel/lead/steel/water/steel) 2-9 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 design with integral lifting trunnions at the top and bottom. Covers are bolted on each end of the W100 to allow access to the cask cavity from either end. The top cover includes a secondary central cover for ram access during horizontal loading and unloading operations. Heat removal from the W100 transfer cask is primarily by conduction through the cask wall. A thermocouple probe is included to ensure that the transfer cask system temperatures are within limits during horizontal transfer.

The W100 transfer cask is comprised of a stainless steel inner liner and an outer structural shell, with lead gamma shielding in the annular space between them. A neutron shield, consisting of an outer jacket forming an annular cavity that is filled with water, surrounds the structural shell.

The structural shell of the transfer cask is sized to accommodate localized loads from the lifting trunnions and other design basis loadings. All exposed surfaces of the transfer cask are polished stainless steel to ease decontamination. Low friction, hardened-steel rails are welded to the inner shell cavity to facilitate horizontal canister transfer.

Unlike the W150 storage cask, only one cavity length design is provided for the W100 transfer cask. The transfer cask internal cavity accommodates the long and short canister designs. When a short canister is loaded, a cask cavity axial spacer is installed at the bottom of the W100 transfer cask cavity.

Two upper trunnions are provided near the top end of the W100 transfer cask and separated by 180° for vertical cask handling operations. The transfer cask upper trunnions, including their associated attachment welds to the structural shell and inner liner are designed, fabricated, and load tested as a special lifting device, in accordance with ANSI N14.6 [2.9], and NUREG-0612

[2.8]. The balance of the transfer cask is designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III, Subsection NF, Class 1 [2.7] component support rather than a special lifting device consistent with its design function. Two trunnions near the bottom end of the transfer cask, separated by 180°, are provided for cask upending/downending operations onto the transfer skid and transfer cask trailer and are not used for critical lifts. The lower trunnions are off-set from the cask centerline to assure the cask center of gravity acts to rotate the cask downward, when the cask is lowered from vertical to horizontal. The transfer cask upper and lower trunnions are fitted with replaceable hardened wearing surfaces so that the load bearing portions of the trunnion are not damaged during repeated upending/downending operations.

2.2.2.6 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment The fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is depicted in Figure 1.2-1 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3]. Section 2.4.2.2 of NUREG 1927 [2.1] states that transporter devices may be classified as important to safety or safety related (under 10 CFR Part 50) in the design bases of various ISFSIs or dry cask storage systems. The FSAR should be reviewed to determine how these SSCs are used in the FSAR evaluations and described in the license or CoC, to understand whether these SSCs are considered part of the design bases, and thus whether they should be considered within the scope of renewal.

Certain FuelSolutions fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment necessary for ISFSI operations and spent fuel handling is classified as Important to Safety or Safety Related in Table 2.1-1 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3] (e.g., storage cask impact limiter, canister vertical lift 2-10 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 fixture, cask lifting yoke, cask cavity axial spacer, shielded docking collar, cask restraints, and empty canister lift fixture). Other Canister Closure/Opening Equipment, Equipment for Horizontal Canister Transfer, and Equipment for Vertical Canister Transfer are classified as not important to safety in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSARs [2.3 - 2.5]. The Important to Safety and Safety Related FuelSolutions fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment which are included in this Scoping Evaluation and CoC 1026 renewal are listed in Table 2-2. Table 2-8 lists the safety functions, the FSAR drawings or figures, and the safety classifications of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment, including subcomponents within the scope of renewal, which have been identified in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3].

The ISFSI storage pad is a steel-reinforced concrete slab that supports free-standing FuelSolutions Storage System casks. As stated in Section 1.4 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3], the ISFSI storage pad is classified as NITS. The ISFSI storage pad is capable of supporting the loads from the free-standing FuelSolutions Storage System casks and fuel transfer operations. The W150 storage casks and the W100 transfer cask are designed such that any potential failures of the ISFSI storage pad would not prevent them from fulfilling their intended safety functions.

The cask storage pad is designed and analyzed to limit cask deceleration during design basis drop accidents and postulated tip over events. FuelSolutions FSAR Section 2.3.3.2 Cask Drop addresses hypothetical drop accidents. Postulated cask tip-over events are addressed in WSNF-220 Storage System FSAR Sections 2.3.3.3 "Storage Cask Tip-over" and 3.7.4 Storage Cask Tip-Over and further delineated in associated W74 FSAR or W21 FSAR Sections 2.3.3.2 "Cask Drop and Tip-over" and 3.7.4 "Storage Cask Tip-Over." [2.3 - 2.5]

2-11 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Some FuelSolutions Storage System users may identify their ISFSI storage pad as ITS and may perform aging management inspections on a site specific basis.

2.2.2.8 ISFSI Security Equipment The ISFSI security equipment (e.g., ISFSI security fences and gates, lighting, communications, and monitoring equipment) are not part of the FuelSolutions Storage System approved by the FuelSolutions Storage System CoC [2.6], and as such, are not described in detail in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSARs [2.3]. Two typical ISFSI storage pad layouts, which identify some ISFSI security features, are shown in Figures 1.4-1 and 1.4-2 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3]. Existing plant programs and procedures ensure that the ISFSI security equipment requirements are met. Potential failure of the ISFSI security equipment would not prevent the FuelSolutions Storage System casks from performing their intended safety functions.

2.2.3 SSCs Within the Scope of CoC Renewal The SSC determined to be within the scope of renewal include are the W150 storage cask, the W100 transfer cask, and the W21 and W74 canisters. The W150 storage cask, the W100 transfer cask, and the W21 and W74 canisters satisfy Criteria 1 of the scoping evaluation process. The subcomponents of these in-scope SSC and their intended safety functions are identified in Tables 2-4 through 2-7.

The Important to Safety and Safety Related FuelSolutions fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment listed in Table 2-2, along with the subcomponents identified in Table 2-8, are included within the scope of the CoC 1026 renewal.

The SNF assemblies, which are sealed and supported inside the W21 and W74 canisters (including any damaged W74 SNF assemblies in damaged fuel cans), are also determined to be within the scope of renewal. However, as noted in NUREG-1927 [2.1], fuel pellets are not within the scope of renewal. The intended safety functions of the SNF assembly subcomponents are identified in Table 2-12.

The above identified FuelSolutions components and equipment are the ITS and safety related SSCs within the scope of the CoC 1026 [2.6] renewal under 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L.

2.2.4 SSC Not Within the Scope of CoC Renewal The SSC that are not in the scope of renewal include certain fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment, ISFSI storage pad, ISFSI security equipment, and W100 and W150 instrumentation.

These components are classified as NITS and do not meet scoping Criteria 2 as their failure does not prevent fulfillment of a function important to safety.

Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment As listed in Table 2-3 below, certain fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment necessary for ISFSI operations (e.g., air-pallets, vertical transport trailer, horizontal transfer trailer, vacuum drying system, welding equipment, helium leak detector, etc.) are classified as NITS in Table 2.1-1 of 2-12 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3]. These SSCs are not included as part of the FuelSolutions Storage System approved by the FuelSolutions Storage System CoC 1026 [2.6]

under 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L.

As discussed in Section 1.2 of the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3], the FuelSolutions Storage System W150, W100, W21 and W74 components are designed to withstand potential failure of the Table 2-3 listed fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment. Failure of this equipment would not prevent the FuelSolutions Storage System components from fulfilling their intended safety functions. Therefore, the Table 2-3 fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment does not meet scoping Criteria 2 and is not in the scope of renewal. The actual fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment used at a given site is addressed by the General Licensee in the 10 CFR 72.212 Evaluation Report on a site-specific basis.

ISFSI Storage Pad The FuelSolutions Storage System ISFSI storage pad is not part of the approved FuelSolutions Storage System CoC [2.6] under 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L, and as such, is not described in detail in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3]. The ISFSI storage pad provides free-standing support of the FuelSolutions Storage System casks. The FuelSolutions Storage System W150, W100, W21and W74 components are designed such that any potential failures of the ISFSI storage pad would not prevent them from fulfilling their intended safety functions.

Therefore, the ISFSI storage pad does not meet scoping Criteria 2 and is not in the scope of renewal. The ISFSI Pad subcomponents are identified in Table 2-13.

Although not within the scope of the FuelSolutions Storage System CoC renewal, if required an aging management inspection of the ISFSI pad may be addressed on a site-specific basis by a General Licensee.

ISFSI Security Equipment The ISFSI security equipment (e.g., ISFSI security fences and gates, lighting, communications, and monitoring equipment) are NITS components that are not part of the FuelSolutions Storage System approved by the FuelSolutions Storage System CoC 1026 [2.6] in accordance with 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L. Failure of the ISFSI security equipment would not prevent fulfillment of a function that is important to safety.

3. AGING MANAGEMENT REVIEW Introduction The purpose of the aging management review (AMR) for the FuelSolutions Storage System Certificate of Compliance (CoC) 1026 is to assess the need for aging management activities (AMAs) of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) determined to be within the scope of renewal for CoC 1026. The AMR addresses aging mechanisms and effects that could adversely affect the ability of the SSCs, including their associated subcomponents, to perform their intended safety functions during the requested 40 year period of extended operation. The initial design life for the W21 canisters, W74 canisters and W150 storage casks is 100 years. The W100 transfer cask has been engineered to perform its design functions for 40 years.

Utilizing the guidance of NUREG-1927 [2.1] along with that provided by NUREG-2214 [2.2],

this section addresses the technical bases and considerations used in conducting the FuelSolutions Storage System AMR. The areas considered include:

  • identification of materials and environments of SSCs and associated subcomponents within the scope of renewal
  • identification of aging mechanisms and the effects requiring management
  • identification of time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs), if applicable, and aging management programs (AMPs) for managing the effects of aging for SSCs within scope The W150 Storage Cask (W150) and W100 Transfer Cask (W100) FSAR [2.3], the W21 Canister (W21) FSAR [2.4] and the W74 Canister (W74) FSAR [2.5] including the associated design drawings were utilized as the primary documents to identify the safety classifications, intended functions, materials, and service environments of the SSCs and subcomponents.

The AMR decision process utilized the flowchart obtained from NUREG-1927 as shown in Figure 3-1.

Section 3.1 describes the direct operating experience of the FuelSolutions Storage System casks in service as of this AMR date.

Section 3.2 describes the Aging Management Review Methodology utilized following the guidance of NUREG-1927 and the identification of in-scope SSCs requiring Aging Management Review. Section 3.2.2 describes AMR Materials and Environments. Section 3.2.3 describes the identification of Aging Effects Requiring Management. Section 3.2.4 describes the aging management activity (TLAA or AMP) to manage the effects of aging.

Section 3.3 presents the results of the Aging Management Review along with a description of the FuelSolutions Storage System SSCs. Section 3.4 identifies the Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAAs) needed and Section 3.5 identifies the Aging Management Programs (AMPs) required.

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.1 Operating Experience Review 3.1.1 FuelSolutions Storage System Operating Experience A total of seven FuelSolutions Storage System casks have been loaded with spent nuclear fuel and are currently in service at the Big Rock Point ISFSI site which is located in Michigan north of the town of Charlevoix, on the shore of Lake Michigan. The Big Rock Point W150 Dry Fuel Storage Casks with W74 Canisters were loaded in 2002 and 2003 and continue to be stored in accordance with Amendment 2 of the FuelSolutions Storage System CoC 1026.

3.1.2 User Operating Experience A review of user operating experience for the FuelSolutions Storage System was performed to evaluate if there was any operating experience or inspection results that would impact the aging of the system. As of 2020, the FuelSolutions system is only in use at the Big Rock Point ISFSI located in Michigan. Therefore, the review only includes items at that site. This review found the following items:

  • W150 Storage Cask Concrete and Grout Degradation A few concrete bug holes [Ref 2.2, Table 6-3] and pits were found and repaired on the seven W150 storage casks.

Degraded grout in some cask seam locations was found and repaired.

No deterioration of cask coatings was identified in annual inspections.

Concrete hairline cracks, which occurred during the initial cask loading time frame, near some of the W150 storage cask tie rod locations have not propagated.

Concrete handling damage, which occurred in a small area on one W150 storage cask was found and repaired during the canister loading campaign.

  • W100 Transfer Cask No deleterious coating degradation noted during annual inspections.

No neutron shield tank leakage identified during annual pressure test using air at approximately 5 psi.

Neutron shield tank relief valve found to be correctly set between 40 and 45 psig during annual inspections.

  • W74 Canister No W74 canister degradation found during each five year borescope visual inspection of W150 Storage Cask #7 interior.

3-3 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

  • Impact Limiters Some deteriorated paint on impact limiter steel sheeting was noted during annual inspections. No degradation of the steel sheeting encasing the impact limiter rigid polyurethane foam was noted.
  • J-Skid and Other Auxiliary Equipment Operable components have been exercised annually with no degradation identified.

The conditions noted are proposed to be monitored by the aging management programs described in Appendix A for the applicable components. The types of degradation previously seen were utilized in determining the criteria for future inspections. Trending of these conditions and corrective actions, as necessary, are also part of the proposed aging management programs. The reviewed operating experience evaluations covered the in scope subcomponents. Out of scope components listed in Chapter 2 were not evaluated for this renewal application. In addition, relevant operating experience was gathered from the inspections of other dry fuel storage systems as described in Appendix C.

The aging management programs in Appendix A were developed considering this operating experience.

3.1.3 User Exemption Requests No exemption requests have been identified at the time of writing this renewal application that have implications regarding aging management involving the design basis requirements for the structures, systems and components (SSCs) at the Big Rock Point ISFSI. If exemption requests are made in the future, they should be evaluated for impact on aging management.

3.2 Aging Management Review Methodology The aging effects that may adversely affect the ability of SSC to perform intended safety functions during the extended period of operations have been assessed in this AMR. This AMR utilizes the recommended methodology provided in NUREG-1927 [2.1]. The aging management review process involves three major steps. This AMR utilizes the decision flowchart shown on Figure 3-1. The major steps are outlined as follows:

  • Identify materials and service environments
  • Identify aging mechanism or effects requiring management
  • Identify the TLAAs or AMPs to manage the aging effects 3-4 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.2.1 Identification of In-Scope SSCs Requiring Aging Management Review As discussed in Chapter 2, the SSC and subcomponents involving potential aging effects were identified as being in-scope for license renewal and aging management review. These SSCs /

subcomponents are presented in Table 2-4 through Table 2-8 in Chapter 2.

SSC or subcomponents that are not in scope for renewal are excluded from evaluation in this AMR.

3.2.2 Identification of Materials and Environments The FuelSolutions FSARs [2.3, 2.4, 2.5] provide a detailed description of the FuelSolutions Storage System and the materials used in the SSCs. Each in-scope SSC / subcomponent for aging management, with its intended function, material, and service environment is listed on Table 2-4 through Table 2-8. SSCs or subcomponents that do not have a safety function or support a safety function are not required to undergo aging management. A summary of the materials used in the aging management review is provided in Table 3-1.

Carbon Steel Various carbon steels including ASTM A36, ASTM A320, SA193-Gr. B7, SA516-Gr. 70 and reinforcing steel.

A generic description of the four basic environments is provided below.

3.2.2.1 Helium Helium environment refers to the inside of the W21 and W74 canisters. Following the canister drying process, the canisters are backfilled with high purity helium gas. As a result, the canisters internal environment has negligible, if any, amounts of moisture or air. The canisters helium 3-6 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 environment may experience a range of temperatures as calculated for the W21 and W74 canisters.

3.2.2.2 Sheltered Environment Sheltered environment refers to environments that may include ambient air, but are shielded from sunlight, precipitation and direct wind. The sheltered environment in the FuelSolutions Storage System design is the annular space created between the W150 storage cask and the W21 or W74 canisters. The ambient air may contain moisture, salinity, dust or other contaminants typical of the ISFSI location. The temperature of the sheltered environment reflects the air temperature passing through the annular space.

Sheltered environment may also refer to the interior of a building providing protection from elements including sunlight, rain, and wind.

3.2.2.3 Embedded Environment Embedded environment applies to materials that are in contact with or sealed inside another component or material. This may prevent ingress of gases, water or contaminants to the embedded surface, depending on the permeability of the embedding environment. Items in this environment include the shield plugs in the W21 and W74 canisters as well as the rebar and internal metal items of the W150 storage cask. The embedded item is subject to the temperature of the component in which it is embedded.

3.2.2.4 Air-Outdoor Environment Air-outdoor environment is used for exterior surfaces that are directly exposed to weather, including precipitation and wind and which may transport dust or moisture with dissolved salt.

The in-scope components in an air-outdoor environment in the FuelSolutions Storage System are the W150 storage casks and, depending on the licensee ISFSI, the W100 transfer cask. The air-outdoor environment has temperature ranges equivalent to the site ambient temperature ranges where the ISFSI is located.

3.2.3 Identifying Effects Requiring Aging Management After the materials and environments were identified, the next step involves determining the aging effects requiring management. Aging effects requiring management during the renewed license period are those that could cause a loss of SSC intended function. If degradation of a subcomponent would be insufficient to cause a loss of function or the relevant conditions do not exist for the aging effect to occur and propagate, then no aging management is required. These aging effects were determined based on a review of NRC MAPS report (NUREG-2214) [2.2],

related industry technical literature and the combination of SSC materials and environments, industry operating experience, and maintenance and inspection records from general licensees (such as condition reports and inspection reports). Both potential aging effects that could theoretically occur, as well as aging effects that have occurred based upon industry operating experience were considered.

3-7 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Aging effects occur as a result of various mechanisms. To manage the effects of aging, the mechanisms that may affect the material need to be considered. The AMR process identifies both aging effects and the aging mechanism causing that effect. The aging effects and mechanisms for each SSC are broken down by subcomponent in Table 2-4 through Table 2-8. The tables in Chapter 2 note which subcomponents have ITS related functions during the extended storage period.

3.2.4 Determination of Aging Management Activities Aging management activities are established to manage the effect of aging of SSC during the extended license period. ISFSI programs and activities are credited to manage these aging effects that have the potential to cause a loss of intended function during the renewed license period.

As described in Section 3.4.1.3 of NUREG-1927 [2.1], there are two methods to address potential aging mechanisms and effects on components; consisting of a time-limited aging analysis (TLAA) or an aging management program (AMP).

3.2.4.1 Time-Limited Aging Analysis (TLAA)

As required by 10 CFR 72.240(c)(2), the CoC application for renewal must include Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA) that demonstrates that structures, systems, and components important to safety will continue to perform their intended function for the requested period of extended operation. Per 10 CFR 72.3, a Time-Limited Aging Analysis (TLAA) refers to a calculation or analysis that meets all of the following attributes:

  • Involves SSCs important to safety within the scope of the license or CoC renewal,
  • Considers the effects of aging,
  • Involves time-limited assumptions defined by the current operating term,
  • Was determined to be relevant in making a safety determination,
  • Involves conclusions or provides the basis for conclusions related to the capability of the SSCs to perform their intended safety functions, and

3.2.4.2 Aging Management Program (AMP)

An Aging Management Program (AMP) monitors and controls the degradation of SSCs within the scope of renewal so that aging effects will not result in a loss of intended functions during the period of extended operation. in accordance with NUREG-1927. An AMP includes activities that are credited for managing aging mechanisms or effects for specific SSCs, including activities conducted during the initial storage period. The AMP may include preventive, mitigation, or condition / performance monitoring activities. An AMP is to be started as the FuelSolutions Storage System reaches the end of the initially licensed period and serves to support the 3-8 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions Storage System during the renewed license period. The information gained from an AMP will provide reasonable assurance that the subcomponent maintains its function.

3.3 Aging Management Review Results 3.3.1 Aging Management Review Results - W21 and W74 Canisters Table 2-4a and Table 2-4b summarize the results of the aging management review for the W21 and W74 canister subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the license renewal.

Additional description of the W21 and W74 canister subcomponents is provided in Section 3.3.1.1, while Sections 3.3.1.2 and 3.3.1.3 present the materials and environments for the specified subcomponents. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.1.4 and 3.3.1.5, respectively.

3.3.1.1 Description of W21 and W74 Canister Subcomponents W21 and W74 Canisters The W21 and W74 canisters are welded cylindrical structures with flat ends that provide confinement of the spent nuclear fuel during storage operations. The confinement boundary, comprised of the bottom closure plate, the shell, the top inner closure plate, vent and drain port tops or adapters, port covers, and associated welds, is constructed entirely of stainless steel. The W21 and W74 top outer closure plate, with welded port covers, is a circular plate edge-welded to the canister shell providing a redundant welded closure. Access to the canister cavity for the purposes of water and moisture removal and subsequent backfilling with a high purity helium is achieved via the vent and drain ports. Additional details regarding the W21 and W74 canister descriptions are included in sections 2.2.2.2 and 2.2.2.3 of this report.

W21 and W74 Canister Fuel Baskets The FuelSolutions W21 canister basket assemblies consist of a series of spacer plates, support rod assemblies, and poisoned guide tube assemblies. The guide tube assemblies provide lateral support for the fuel assemblies and maintain the position of the neutron absorbing material. The spacer plates maintain the relative spacing between guide tubes and provide structural support in the lateral direction for the basket assembly and SNF payload. The spacer plates are positioned and supported longitudinally by eight support rod assemblies.

FuelSolutions W74 canister includes an upper and lower basket assembly which are similar in construction. Each assembly consists of a series of spacer plates, support tube assemblies, and guide tube assemblies. The upper basket assembly includes an engagement spacer plate which supports the SNF assemblies in the upper basket assembly for normal vertical transfer and storage. The guide tube assemblies provide lateral support for the SNF assemblies and maintain the position of the neutron absorbing material. The spacer plates maintain the relative spacing between guide tubes and provide structural support for the basket assembly and SNF assemblies in the lateral direction. The spacer plates are positioned and supported longitudinally by four support tube assemblies.

3-9 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Damaged Fuel Cans Spent nuclear fuel assemblies to be stored in the FuelSolutions W21 canister must be intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. For SNF assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 60 GWd/MTU),

the cladding oxide thickness is limited to 70 m. Fuel assemblies that do not meet these criteria are considered damaged fuel, and are not acceptable for storage in the FuelSolutions W21 canister at this time. Missing or damaged fuel rods may be replaced with dummy rods that displace an equal amount of water as the original rods to permit storage in the FuelSolutions W21 canister.

MOX and UO2 fuel can be stored in the FuelSolutions W74 canister inside of specially designed FuelSolutions W74 damaged fuel can assemblies. The FuelSolutions W74 canister is designed to accommodate up to eight damaged fuel assemblies. Each damaged fuel assembly is placed inside a FuelSolutions W74 damaged fuel can within the upper or lower basket assembly support tubes.

The FuelSolutions W74 damaged fuel can is designed to contain damaged or undamaged fuel assemblies during all normal, off-normal, and accident conditions for on-site storage and transfer operations. The FuelSolutions W74 damaged fuel can, containing a damaged fuel assembly, is designed to be handled vertically. The bottom end of the damaged fuel can incorporates screened holes to allow for water drainage. The damaged fuel can utilizes borated stainless steel neutron absorber sheets on all four faces of the tube. Material details for the W74 canister subcomponents are provided in Table 2-4a. Rod fragments and/or loose pellets (i.e., fuel debris) are not qualified for loading into the damaged fuel cans in the W74 canister.

3.3.1.2 W21 and W74 Canister Materials Depending on the canister type, the baskets in the W21 and W74 canisters are constructed of stainless steel or high-strength carbon steel materials. Carbon steel basket subcomponents are coated with electroless nickel for corrosion protection following canister fabrication and during the brief immersion period during fuel loading in the spent fuel pool. The basket neutron absorbers are made from either Boral for the W21 canisters or borated stainless steel for the W74 canisters. The Boral used in the W21 canisters is encased and seal welded in stainless steel to alleviate water immersion of the neutron absorber panel material and possible aluminum corrosion and hydrogen generation while immersed.

Other W21 and W74 canister subcomponents in the scope of the license renewal are stainless steel, except for the embedded shield plugs which may consist of either depleted uranium, lead or carbon steel depending on the canister class. The bottom end shield plugs are embedded in stainless steel consisting of the canister bottom closure plate, the shell extension and the bottom end plate. Depending on the canister class, the top end depleted uranium or lead shield plugs are embedded in stainless steel, while top end carbon steel shield plugs are coated with electroless nickel for corrosion resistance.

3-10 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 The W74 canister damaged fuel cans, including the top lid assemblies, are fabricated from stainless steel with a borated stainless steel neutron absorber plate attached to the exterior surface of each of the four sides of a damaged fuel can.

Additional material details for the W21 and W74 canister subcomponents are provided in Tables 2-4a and 2-4b.

3.3.1.3 W21 and W74 Canister Environments The environments that affect the W21 and W74 canister subcomponents, both externally and internally, are described below.

3.3.1.3.1 External Each W21 and W74 canister is stored in a vertical, ventilated W150 storage cask. Based on this design, the external surface of each canister is exposed to the same environment as the inside of the W150 storage cask (described in Subsection 3.3.2), which is a sheltered environment that includes ambient air but is protected from precipitation, direct wind and sunlight. The ambient air may contain moisture, dust and atmospheric contaminants. The normal operating temperature of the outside of the W21 or W74 vertical canister surface is typically highest towards the top.

Refer to the respective FSAR Figure 3.5-1 for canister shell axial temperature profiles Maximum surface temperature limits are unchanged. The variations in canister external temperature does not change potential aging mechanisms and does not change the programs needed to manage them.

3.3.1.3.2 Internal The W21 and W74 canisters are filled with the inert helium gas. The canister fuel basket assembly subcomponents and the W74 damaged fuel can subcomponents are exposed to this helium gas environment. The currently licensed maximum temperature limits remain the same for the license renewal period. Changes in canister temperatures do not change potential aging mechanisms and does not change their management.

3.3.1.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management (W21 and W74 Canisters)

Based on the materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage for W21 and W74 canister the aging effects that require management are cracking (due to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking on the external canister surfaces), the loss of material, and radiation effects on the neutron absorber and steel components.

3-11 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.1.5 Aging Management Activities (W21 and W74 Canisters)

Based on the aging management review of the W21 and W74 canister subcomponents documented in Tables 2-4a and 2-4b, including the basket assembly subcomponents and the W74 damaged fuel can subcomponents, an AMP is required for the aging management activities of the W21 and W74 canisters and a TLAA is required specifically for the effects of radiation on the neutron absorbers. These aging management activities are discussed in detail in Sections 3.4 and 3.5.

3.3.2 Aging Management Review Results - W150 Storage Cask Table 2-5 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the W150 storage cask subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the license renewal.

Additional description of the W150 storage cask subcomponents is provided in Section 3.3.2.1, while Sections 3.3.2.2 and 3.3.2.3 present the materials and environments for the specified subcomponents. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.2.4 and 3.3.2.5, respectively.

3.3.2.1 Description of W150 Storage Cask Subcomponents The W150 storage cask provides structural support, shielding, and supports natural circulation cooling for the W21 and W74 canisters. The W150 storage cask is ventilated by internal air flow paths which allow the decay heat to be removed by natural circulation around the metal W21 and W74 canister wall. Natural convection air enters the system horizontally through the four inlet vents and channels located at the bottom of the storage cask, converges vertically into the central inlet plenum, flows upward into the storage cask cavity, flows radially outward under the canister and through/between the canister support tubes, flows upward through the dual annuli formed by the cask liner, thermal shield, and canister shell, and finally flows outward to ambient through the outlet vents at the top of the cask. The internal cavity of the W150 storage cask has a coated steel liner and bottom plate. The steel and concrete walls of the W150 storage cask are designed to minimize side surface radiation dose rates. The steel liner is coated to promote radiant heat dissipation and to minimize corrosion. An aluminum thermal shield is located between the canister exterior wall and the W150 storage cask interior wall. The W150 storage cask lid is fabricated from steel and concrete and provides additional gamma attenuation in the upward direction, reducing both direct radiation and skyshine. The W150 storage cask top cover is bolted in place and protects the W21 and W74 canisters from the environment and postulated tornado missiles. A more detailed description is included in paragraph 2.2.2.4 of this report.

3.3.2.2 W150 Storage Cask Materials The W150 storage cask is fabricated from three reinforced concrete segments with a carbon steel inner liner and bottom plate. The three segments are held together with eight alloy steel tie rods, nuts and washers, with grout used between the keyed concrete segment joints to form a weather tight vertical cylinder. The W150 storage cask reinforced concrete is in contact with the carbon steel inner liner and bottom plate. External concrete surface degradation is mitigated by using a weather-resistant protective coating.

3-12 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Storage cask materials which come into contact with the canister, such as the canister support pipes and support rails, are coated or fabricated from corrosion resistant stainless steel. The carbon steel components of the storage cask, i.e., the liner, top cover, non-load bearing guide rails, tie rod tubes, and air inlet and outlet liners, are all protected with long lasting temperature- and radiation-resistant coatings. Exposed carbon steel components, such as the storage cask cover, are coated and accessible for re-coating if necessary. Exposed carbon steel components, such as the storage cask liner, which are not readily accessible are coated and not relied upon structurally. The surfaces of the storage cask support rails which contact the canister (during horizontal loading) are faced with Nitronic-60.

Additional material details for the W150 storage cask subcomponents are provided in Table 2-5.

3.3.2.3 W150 Storage Cask Environments The W150 storage casks are located outdoors at their storage site. The W150 storage casks are designed for exposure to the following environmental temperatures as stated in Sections 2.3.1.1 and 2.3.2.1 of the FuelSolutions Storage System W150 FSAR [2.3]:

  • Normal, long-term annual average design temperature of 77°F is selected as bounding for locations in the contiguous United States. Ambient temperature in the range of 0°F to 100°F are considered in the design of the storage cask; and
  • Temperature cases of 40°F and 125°F (average daily temperature) are used for W150 storage cask off-normal conditions for the structural evaluation of the FuelSolutions canisters, storage cask, and transfer cask.

The interior components of the W150 storage casks are exposed to a sheltered environment. This environment includes ambient air through the air passages, but does not include precipitation, direct sun, or wind exposure. The ambient air may contain dust, moisture, salinity, or other contaminants.

The metal components of the W150 storage cask that are in contact with concrete, such as the outer surface of the inner shell, are considered to be in an embedded environment. The primary concern for embedded environments is the potential chemical reaction between the two materials. The interactions between materials of the W150 storage cask subcomponents are described in Section 3.3.2.2 and are not considered to be of concern for the extended storage period.

The exterior surfaces of the W150 storage casks are designed to be exposed to the weather-related effects, including insolation, wind, rain, snow, ice, ambient air, and other environmental phenomena at their associated storage sites as an air-outdoor environment. Additionally, the W150 storage casks are exposed to radiation effects from the W21 and W74 stored canisters.

3-13 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.2.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management (W150 Storage Cask)

Based on a review of the W150 storage cask materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage at the ISFSI sites the main aging effects requiring management are loss of material due to corrosion, loss of fracture toughness (due to radiation impacts) for the metal components, and concrete aging issues caused by freeze thaw cycles, alkali-silica reaction, and/or calcium hydroxide leaching.

3.3.2.5 Aging Management Activities (W150 Storage Cask)

Based on the aging management review of the W150 storage cask subcomponents documented in Table 2-5, it has been determined that the aging management activities required for the W150 storage cask are the Reinforced Concrete Structures AMP (for the W150 storage cask concrete) and the Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP (for W150 metallic materials). These aging management activities are discussed in the AMPs identified in Section 3.5. For those components potentially impacted by radiation, the radiation impacts have been evaluated and determined that no additional aging management activities beyond those in the W150 storage cask AMPs are needed. A W150 TLAA is not required since no W150 analysis was incorporated or referenced in the initial W150 design basis.

3.3.3 Aging Management Review Results - Fuel Assembly Table 2-7 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the Fuel Assembly subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the license renewal.

Additional description of the fuel assembly subcomponents is provided in Section 3.3.3.1, while Sections 3.3.3.2 and 3.3.3.3 present the materials and environments for the specified subcomponents. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.3.4 and 3.3.3.5, respectively.

3.3.3.1 Description of Fuel Assembly Fuel contained within the W21 or W74 canister consists of up to 21 PWR or 64 BWR fuel assemblies respectively. Maximum heat loads, and burnups times, along with required cooling times for the subject canister is addressed in the respective Technical Specification. This renewal application evaluates the bounding information as necessary.

Fuel rod cladding provides the primary confinement barrier, while the fuel assembly maintains the axial distribution of the radiological source and its position within the fuel basket. As noted in NUREG-2214 [2.2] fuel assembly hardware includes guide tubes, spacer grids, and lower and upper end fittings. The guide tubes may be fabricated using from zirconium-based alloys. The other components are usually fabricated using various nickel alloys and stainless steels. In the helium environment these components are considered to not be subject to credible degradation (creep, fatigue, hydriding, general corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and radiation embrittlement) and thus, aging management during the 60-year timeframe is not required.

3-14 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.3.2 Fuel Assembly Materials The fuel assembly subcomponents included in the aging management review are made from zircaloy, stainless steel, and/or Inconel. Additional material details for the Fuel Assembly subcomponents are provided in Table 2-7.

3.3.3.3 Fuel Assembly Environments The FuelSolutions Storage System storage systems is designed to store a wide range of spent fuel assemblies in a dried and inert (helium) atmosphere. After fuel loading, draining and drying, the canister is backfilled with helium to provide an inert environment. The fuel temperatures range from the maximum value corresponding to the short term limit for a maximum canister heat load to the minimum ambient air temperature as the heat load reduces over time.

3.3.3.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management (Fuel Assembly)

Fuel assemblies authorized to be stored in the FuelSolutions Storage System are classified as either moderate-burnup fuel (45,000 MWd/MTU) for the W74 canisters or high-burnup fuel

(>45,000 MWd/MTU) for the W21 canisters.

For BWR fuel loaded in FuelSolutions W74 canisters, post-irradiation times are defined in FuelSolutions W74 Technical Specifications Table 2.1-9 and Table 2.1-10 with maximum assembly average burnup level limited to 40,000 MWd/MTU for the associated enrichments and parameters noted. For the moderate-burnup fuel, cladding embrittlement due to irradiation damage or hydride formation is not a concern. A report prepared by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL-14390 [3.1]), documenting research conducted by EPRI and the US Department of Energy, confirms that similar, non-high-burnup fuel assemblies stored in a helium environment, like the one present inside the W21 and W74 canisters, do not exhibit detectable degradation of the cladding or more than negligible release of gaseous fission products during storage. Therefore, no aging effects requiring management are identified for the moderate-burnup fuel assemblies.

PWR fuel loaded in FuelSolutions W21 canisters must be intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. For fuel assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 60 GWd/MTU), the cladding oxide thickness is limited to 70 m as prescribed in FuelSolutions W21 Technical Specification 2.12] Section 2.1.1.

FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage System FSAR Section 4.3.2 Fuel Cladding Allowable Temperatures addresses previously established conservatism which meets the guidance noted in NUREG-1927. During the extended renewal period this basis may not be applicable for high burnup fuel, thus requiring aging management during the extended storage period.

3-15 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.3.5 Aging Management Activities (Fuel Assembly)

Based on the above review, it is determined that an AMP is needed for high burnup fuel.

NUREG-2215 [3.2] Section 8.5.15.2.7 High Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment (dry storage periods beyond 20 years) provides guidance for the storage of high burnup fuel for periods greater than 20 years, and specifies that the applicant may use a maintenance plan to obtain confirmatory data as an acceptable means for confirming that the canister contents satisfy the applicable regulations. NUREG-2215 in turn refers to NUREG-1927, Rev 1, for evaluation of plans. The high burnup fuel AMP should be periodically reviewed and updated whenever new data from the demonstration program or other short term tests or modeling indicate potential degradation of the fuel or deviation from the assumptions of the AMP.

Consistent with the guidance of NUREG-2215 the aging management plan will obtain data to confirm the stored spent nuclear fuel configurations will remain as analyzed. The Fuel Assembly AMP is described in Appendix A. Consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-1927 [2.1],

the AMP takes credit for the DOE/EPRI High Burnup Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project (HDRP).

3.3.4 Aging Management Review Results - W100 Transfer Cask Table 2-6 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the W100 transfer cask subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the license renewal.

Additional description of the W100 transfer cask is provided in Section 3.3.4.1, while Sections 3.3.4.2 and 3.3.4.3 present the materials and environments. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.4.4 and 3.3.4.5, respectively.

3.3.4.1 Description of W100 Transfer Cask The FuelSolutions W100 Transfer Cask is comprised of a stainless steel inner liner and an outer structural shell, with lead gamma shielding in the annular space between them. Primary biological shielding and structural protection for the canister is provided by the composite stainless steel and lead of the transfer cask. The transfer cask uses a liquid neutron shield that envelops its cylindrical body and solid neutron absorbing material in its top and bottom covers. The transfer cask is capable of containing either a W21 or W74 canister and can utilize a cask cavity axial spacer to accommodate short-length FuelSolutions canisters.

To avoid contamination of the canister external surface and the inner surface of the transfer cask cavity, the annulus between the canister shell and inner liner of the transfer cask is filled with clean demineralized water and an inflatable seal is placed in the top of the annulus prior to submergence of the transfer cask into the spent fuel pool. The top end of the transfer cask cavity includes a recess to accommodate the inflatable seal. The W100 transfer cask is equipped with upper and lower lifting trunnions to allow rotation of the W100 transfer cask (see Section 2.2.2.5 for additional W100 transfer cask description details).

3-16 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.4.2 W100 Transfer Cask Materials The W100 transfer cask structure, top and bottom covers, and lifting trunnions are fabricated from stainless steel. Other materials included in the W100 transfer cask design are lead (for gamma shielding), RX-277 or NS-3 solid neutron shielding (for the transfer cask covers), alloy steels for bolting, and ethylene propylene elastomer (for the bottom cover seals). The solid neutron shielding and lead shielding materials are completely enclosed, and therefore there are no significant galvanic or chemical reactions between these materials and the air or borated water. As identified in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR [2.3], the neutron shield jacket is coated with a high emissivity (> .875), low absorptivity < .25), temperature resistant (>325 degrees f) coating.

This coating enhances radiation heat transfer from the W100 transfer cask while minimizing the effects of insolation.

The material of each W100 transfer cask subcomponent is identified in Table 2-6.

3.3.4.3 W100 Transfer Cask Environments The exterior of the W100 transfer cask is exposed to water or borated water (PWR) during fuel loading (while the W100 transfer cask was in a spent fuel pool), and to demineralized water in the annulus. Following fuel loading of the W21 and W74 canisters, the W100 transfer cask is removed from the spent fuel pool.

The W100 transfer cask is exposed to either a sheltered environment, if stack-up is performed in the building, or an air-outdoor environment if stack-up is performed outside. The relatively brief exposure of the W100 transfer cask to borated and demineralized water while in the spent fuel pool and the outside environment during transfer and loading operations (if applicable), does not significantly contribute to the aging of the W100 transfer cask during the renewal period. It is the prolonged or frequently recurring exposure to environmental conditions and stresses that must be evaluated for aging effects, such as those encountered during idle storage of the cask.

The environment to which the W100 transfer cask is exposed between W21 and W74 canister loading campaigns may be the sheltered atmosphere within a building. To be conservative and bound sites which store the W100 transfer cask outside, the W100 transfer cask storage environment is considered to be ambient air.

3.3.4.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management for W100 Transfer Cask Based on a review of the W100 transfer cask materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage, the main aging effect requiring management is loss of material due to corrosion.

3.3.4.5 Aging Management Activities for W100 Transfer Cask Based on the aging management review of the W100 transfer cask subcomponents documented in Table 2-6, the aging management activities required for the W100 transfer cask are an AMP for the W100 transfer cask, and a TLAA for W100 transfer cask fatigue.

3-17 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 The solid neutron shielding material used in the W100 transfer cask covers is in an enclosed environment and no damage or change in the properties of the material is expected to occur over the service life of the W100 transfer cask. Therefore, no AMP or TLAA is required.

3.3.5 Aging Management Review Results - Fuel Transfer/Auxiliary Equipment Table 2-8 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment and subcomponents identified in the FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR

[2.3] and determined to be within the scope of the CoC 1026 renewal.

Additional description of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is provided in Section 3.3.5.1, while Sections 3.3.5.2 and 3.3.5.3 present the materials and environments. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.5.4 and 3.3.5.5, respectively.

3.3.5.1 Description of Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment The in-scope FuelSolutions fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment necessary for ISFSI operations and spent fuel handling includes the cask lifting yoke, canister vertical lift fixture, cask cavity axial spacer, shielded docking collar, cask restraints, empty canister lift fixture, the standard lifting slings used inside the plant facility, and the storage cask impact limiter. The actual fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment used at a given site is identified and addressed by the General Licensee in the 10 CFR 72.212 Evaluation Report on a site-specific basis.

The cask lifting yoke assembly includes a steel A-frame and two lifting arms which interface with the W100 transfer cask upper trunnions. Shackles and low stretch slings are used to secure the lifting yoke to the crane hook. The canister vertical lift fixture is a steel frame which is slung below the cask lifting yoke A-frame and attaches to the W21 or W74 canister, that is used to lift or lower the canister into and out of the W100 transfer cask.

The cask cavity axial spacer is a circular steel frame used in the bottom end of the W100 transfer cask when a short canister is placed inside the cask, to take up the axial space in the cask cavity and provide positive support for the canister. The cask spacer is mounted to the inside of the transfer cask bottom cover to simplify removal during horizontal transfer operations.

A shielded docking collar is a large shielded ring placed on the top end of a W150 storage cask cavity for canister transfer operations to or from the storage cask. The inside diameter of a docking collar allows close fit up with a transfer cask or a transportation cask, while allowing the transfer cask or transportation cask to dock directly to the storage cask upper shield ring. Cask restraints attach the transfer cask lower trunnions or transportation cask upper trunnions to the shielded docking collar on both sides of the cask. A separate set of cask restraints are also used to secure the transfer cask to the transportation cask.

The empty canister lift fixture is used to lift an empty canister, including the shell and basket assembly, vertically using the top shield plug support ring and place the empty canister into the transfer cask prior to fuel loading. The empty canister lift fixture engages the bottom of the shield plug support ring in four locations and is connected to the plants crane by four cable assemblies.

3-18 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Standard lifting slings are used for the handling of various items associated with the FuelSolutions canisters, storage cask, transfer cask, and auxiliary equipment. The slings consist of standard wire rope, chains, or straps and the associated standard lifting hardware such as shackles, clevises, lifting eyes, hooks, and turn buckles.

A storage cask impact limiter is installed in a recessed area of an ISFSI pad, prior to upending or downending a loaded storage cask. The impact limiter provides an effective means to mitigate deceleration loads on the storage cask and canister resulting from a postulated tip-over accident of the storage cask during upending or downending operations. The 10-foot wide by 30-foot long by 2-foot thick impact limiter consists of modular steel encased rigid polyurethane foam in four subassemblies to facilitate subassembly handling and installation, and to facilitate uniform crush of the rigid foam during a postulated storage cask impact.

3.3.5.2 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Materials The in-scope fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment are mostly fabricated from carbon and alloy steel which has been coated to mitigate corrosion. The handling slings, wire ropes and chains use standard handling component materials which are inspected and controlled using applicable industry standards to assure their qualifications during their useful life and are replaced when necessary.

The rigid polyurethane foam material used for the storage cask impact limiter is widely used in licensed spent fuel transportation packages and is well characterized. The rigid foam is encased with thin-plate carbon steel, which is sufficiently strong to allow handling of the impact limiter subassemblies but has a negligible effect on the crush characteristics of the impact limiter. The carbon steel provides a sealed closure to assure foam integrity and is coated for corrosion protection.

The materials of the in-scope fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment and subcomponents are identified in Table 2-8.

3.3.5.3 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Environments The cask lifting yoke and canister vertical lift fixture are exposed to water or borated water (PWR) during fuel loading while the W100 transfer cask is in a spent fuel pool. While being used, the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is typically exposed to either an air-outdoor environment or a sheltered environment.

When not in use the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is exposed to a sheltered environment.

Following completion of storage cask loading or unloading operations, the impact limiter is removed and placed in a storage area, where it is protected from degradation due to exposure to the air-outdoor environment.

The relatively brief exposure of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment to borated and demineralized water while in the spent fuel pool and the air-outdoor environment during transfer and loading operations (if applicable), does not significantly contribute to the aging of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment during the renewal period. It is the prolonged or frequently 3-19 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 recurring exposure to sheltered environmental conditions, such as those encountered during storage of the equipment, that must be evaluated for aging effects.

3.3.5.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management for Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Based on a review of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage, the main aging effect requiring management is loss of material due to corrosion.

3.3.5.5 Aging Management Activities for Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Based on the aging management review of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment and subcomponents documented in Table 2-8, the aging management activities required for the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment are the Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP.

The rigid polyurethane foam material used for the storage cask impact limiter is widely used in the construction of buildings with an expected life of 50 to 100 years that is well recognized. The impact limiter rigid polyurethane foam is encased with thin-plate carbon steel and spends most of its life being stored in a sheltered environment which would prolong it lifetime. This material is in an enclosed environment and no damage or change in the properties of the material is expected to occur over the life of the impact limiter. Therefore, no AMP or TLAA is required.

3.4 Aging Management Programs (AMP)

Based on the results of the aging management reviews for systems, structures, and components (SSC) previously determined to be within the scope of the license renewal, presented above, the following AMPs are required:

1. FuelSolutions Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP
2. FuelSolutions Reinforced Concrete Structures AMP
3. FuelSolutions Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP
4. FuelSolutions W100 Transfer Cask AMP
5. FuelSolutions W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP The full details of these AMPs are presented in Appendix A.

3-20 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.5 Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA)

Using the TLAA-identification criteria discussed in Section 3.2.4.1, the CoC, SER, Technical Specifications were reviewed and the following TLAAs were identified for further evaluation and disposition:

1. W21 Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion
2. W74 Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion
3. W21 Canister Fatigue (Including Basket)
4. W74 Canister Fatigue (Including Basket)
5. W100 Transfer Cask Fatigue 3.6 Other Analyses - Retrievability The FuelSolutions W21 and W74 canisters are designed for removal of individual or canned spent fuel assemblies and for canister removal from a storage cask for placement into a transfer cask in accordance with 10 CFR 72.122(l) and satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 72.236(m). NUREG-2215 Section 3.4.3.8 addresses 10 CFR 72.122(l) in that the storage systems must be designed to allow ready retrieval of spent fuel, high-level radioactive waste, and reactor-related GTCC waste for further processing or disposal. In addition, NUREG-2215 notes the requirements of 10 CFR 72.236(m) state that CoC holders should design for retrievability [t]o the extent practicable in the design of spent fuel storage casks, consideration should be given to compatibility with removal of the stored spent fuel from a reactor site, transportation, and ultimate disposition by the Department of Energy. The FuelSolutions Dry Storage System has the ability to support options A and B identified in NUREG-2215:

A. remove individual or canned spent fuel assemblies from wet or dry storage, B. remove a canister loaded with spent fuel assemblies from a storage cask/overpack, Option A:

The results of the AMR show that there are no credible aging effects in the SNF assemblies that require management during the extended storage period that would prohibit retrievability of an assembly from a canister. Individual or canned spent fuel assemblies remain retrievable. Moderate-burnup (< 45 GWd/MTU), intact, zircaloy-clad SNF assemblies can be stored in the both the W21 and W74 canisters. In addition, high burnup (>45 GWd/MTU), intact, zircaloy-clad SNF assemblies can be accommodate in the W21 canisters.

3-21 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Corrosion of the canister cover and closure weld are managed by the Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP and Canister Fatigue TLAAs during the extended storage period to ensure that no aging effects result in the loss of intended functions (primarily confinement and structural support). This provides reasonable assurance that the SNF assemblies will be able to be retrieved from the canister and transferred to a spent fuel pool if required.

Degradation of the cladding of the SNF does not occur during the initial storage period or during extended storage since the inert atmosphere inside the canister is maintained.

Evaluation of canister Off-Normal conditions, including retrieval, is addressed in Section 3.6 of the associated FSAR. Conditions During Canister Reflooding are discussed in Section 4.4.2.3 of the associated FSAR.

Option B Corrosion and degradation of the W21 and W74 canister shell, cover and closure welds are managed by the Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP and Canister Fatigue TLAAs during the extended storage period to ensure that no aging effect result in the loss of intended functions (primarily confinement and structural support) including canister retrievability.

Corrosion and degradation of the W100 transfer cask and W150 storage cask are managed by their applicable AMP(s) and TLAAs during the extended storage period to ensure that no aging effect result in the loss of intended functions (e.g. structural support) that may affect retrievability of the canister from either cask. The W100 transfer cask is maintained and is inspected prior to use to ensure proper condition and safe operation. This provides reasonable assurance that loaded W21 and W74 canisters can be transferred from a storage cask to the transfer cask and then to a transportation cask for removal offsite.

In addition, there are a number of FuelSolutions Storage Systems Technical Specifications which facilitate retrievability. Several of these are Design Feature (DF) Technical Specifications which state that the principal objective of the DF category of Technical Specifications is to describe the design envelope which might constrain any physical changes to essential equipment. By constraining physical changes to essential equipment these DF Technical Specifications facilitate retrievability of spent fuel assemblies from canisters, and retrievability of canisters from storage casks and transfer casks. These retrievability related FuelSolutions Storage Systems Technical Specifications:

  • Establish administrative controls and procedures to assure that the spent fuel cladding does not exceed specified temperature limits during loading operations.
  • Monitor storage cask and transfer cask liner temperatures
  • Specify and monitor storage cask temperature limits during horizontal transfers
  • Specify canister helium backfill density requirements 3-22 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

  • Specify canister spent fuel loading requirements
  • Specify maximum storage cask and transfer cask drop heights and g loadings The respective retrievability related Technical Specifications continue to be applicable during the extended storage period.

Thus, FuelSolutions W21 and W74 canisters are designed for removal of individual or canned spent fuel from storage, and canister retrieval from a W150 storage cask for placement into a W100 transfer cask for subsequent transport off-site in the appropriate transportation cask.

4. AGING MANAGEMENT TOLLGATES Introduction As noted in NUREG-1927 "Standard Review Plan for Renewal of Specific Licenses and Certificates of Compliance for Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel," Revision 1, the NRC in collaboration with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI), developed guidance for the nuclear industry use when preparing CoC renewal applications. NEI 14-03, Revision 1, Format, Content and Implementation Guidance for Dry Cask Storage Operations-Based Aging Management, includes guidance based on the continued evaluation of operating experience.

One of the principles introduced in NEI 14-03 is the use of tollgates as a structured approach for incorporating operating experience and data from applicable research and industry initiatives into the aging evaluation process. NUREG-1927, Revision 1, Section 3.6.1.10, provides the associated guidance that may be used for CoC renewals.

NEI 14-03 provides a proposed framework for learning AMPs through the use of tollgates and defines tollgates as periodic points within the period of extended operation when licensees would be required to evaluate aggregate feedback from storage operations and perform and document a safety assessment that confirms the safe storage of spent fuel. Tollgates are described as an additional set of in-service assessments beyond the normal continual assessment of operating experience, research, monitoring, and inspections on DSS component and ISFSI SSC performance that is part of normal ISFSI operations for licensees during the initial storage period as well as the period of extended operation.

In addition, NEI 14-03, Revision 1, also describes a framework for the aggregation and dissemination of operating experience across the industry through the use of an aging-related operating experience clearinghouse, titled the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID). Aggregate feedback will be assessed by each licensee regarding ISFSI components. and if necessary, take actions to:

  • Modify monitoring and inspection programs in AMPs described in Appendix A
  • Modify TLAAs described in Appendix B
  • Perform mitigation Per the guidance of NEI 14-03 the tollgate assessments address the following elements as applicable:

Frequency:

  • established from technical basis
  • reflects aging mechanism initiation and rate of progression
  • reflects risk significance 4-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

  • considers findings from prior tollgate assessments Content of tollgate assessments:
  • Summary of research findings, operating experience, monitoring data, and inspection results
  • Aggregate impact of findings (including trends)
  • Consistency with the assumptions and inputs in TLAAs
  • Effectiveness of AMPs
  • Corrective actions, including changes to AMPs
  • Summary and conclusions Licensees have access to the ISFSI AMID to facilitate the completion of these tollgate assessments. Generic tollgates are shown in Table 4-1. Implementation of the tollgates does not limit licensees ability to evaluate information in a timely fashion through the use of the corrective action programs and other licensee programs. The tollgates identify points where information is evaluated based on the collection of findings.

2. FuelSolutions Reinforced Concrete Structures AMP
3. FuelSolutions Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP
4. FuelSolutions W100 Transfer Cask AMP
5. FuelSolutions W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP This appendix contains the 10 elements of the AMPs, following the guidance of NUREG-1927 Revision 1.

A-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 1 Scope of Program This program manages the effects of aging for the surfaces of welded stainless steel canisters that are directly exposed the sheltered environment. The scope of the program includes the following canister sub-components:

  • Shell
  • Bottom closure plate
  • Shell extension
  • Bottom end plate
  • Top outer closure plate
  • Leak test port cover The following aging effects are addressed in this program:
  • Loss of material (precursor to stress corrosion cracking) due to pitting and crevice corrosion Examinations are performed of the accessible portions of the welded stainless steel dry storage canister confinement boundary external surfaces for atmospheric deposits, localized corrosion, and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC).

In particular, examinations focus on accessible canister welds, weld heat-affected-zone areas, and known areas of the canister to which temporary supports or attachments were attached by welding and subsequently removed (based on available fabrication records) with the following attributes:

  • Locations where a crevice is formed on the canister surface
  • Horizontal (+/-30-degree) surfaces where deposits may accumulate at a faster rate compared to vertical surfaces
  • Canister surfaces that are cold relative to the average surface temperature
  • Canister surfaces with higher amounts of atmospheric deposits Examinations can be performed in coordination of the ASME Section XI code inspections provided in Code Case N860, Examination Requirements and Acceptance Standards for Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation Containment Systems.

2 Preventive Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects. During fabrication of the Actions canisters, however, preventative actions were used to minimize corrosion and stress corrosion cracking by selection of stainless steel materials. In addition, fabrication controls were in place during canister fabrication to support improved canister corrosion resistance. Although these preventative actions minimize the likelihood of aging effects, they cannot replace condition monitoring during the storage period. As this AMP is based on condition monitoring, new preventative actions are not included.

A-2 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 3 Parameters The parameters monitored and/or inspected under this AMP include:

Monitored /

  • visual inspections to look for evidence of discontinuities and imperfections, such Inspected as localized corrosion, including pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of the accessible canister welds and weld heat affected zones.
  • The size and location of localized corrosion or stress corrosion cracks
  • The inspections also look for the appearance and location of deposits on the canister surfaces.

4 Detection of Visual inspection of the canister surface is to be performed per ASME Code Section XI, Aging Effects Article IWA-2200 for VT-3 examinations utilizing a video camera, fiber-optic scope or other remote inspection device for the accessible areas of the canister surface since direct visual examination may not be possible due to neutron and gamma radiation fields near canister surfaces within the storage cask.

Additional assessments are to be performed as necessary for suspected areas of localized corrosion and SCC. VT-1 visual examinations are performed per acceptance criteria when indicated by the assessment of the VT-3 results. Indications of corrosion within 2 inches of a weld are to receive an augmented surface examination for the presence of cracking.

Volumetric examination consistent with the requirements of ASME Code Section XI, IWB-2500, for category B-J components may also be utilized to assess the presence of cracking. Inspection of selected areas on the canister may be upgraded to the VT-1 standard.

The inspection is to be performed on a minimum of one canister at each ISFSI based on the following criteria:

  • EPRI Susceptibility Criteria {Ref: Technical Report 3002005371}
  • Age of the Canister
  • Canister loaded with Lowest Heat Load
  • Canisters with the greatest potential for the accumulation and deliquescence of deposited salts that may promote localized corrosion and greatest potential for the accumulation and deliquescence of deposited salts that may promote localized corrosion and SCC
  • Where applicable, canister with previously identified manufacturing deviations which may affect the surface.

Inspections are to be performed by qualified individual(s) every 5 years (+/- 25%)

starting with the first inspection performed within either the later of one (1) year of the initial canisters 20th year loading anniversary or within one year from the issuance of first renewal of the CoC. If possible, examinations should occur on the same canister to support trending.

5 Monitoring Monitoring and trending of the results from documented inspection should support and Trending the ability to evaluate the results against acceptance criteria. Inspection records, including photos and /or videos, are to be retained for comparison in subsequent A-3 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP (4 pages)

Element Description examinations. Changes to the size or location of discolored areas (e.g. rust), localized corrosion, pitting and crevice corrosion, and/or stress corrosion cracking should be identified and assessed for further evaluation or subsequent inspections.

Trending of parameters or effects include the locations and size of any areas of localized corrosion or SCC, disposition of canisters with identified aging effects and the results of any supplemental canister inspections.

6 Acceptance No indications of localized corrosion pits, etching, crevice corrosion, stress corrosion Criteria cracking, red-orange-colored corrosion products emanating from crevice locations, or red-orange-colored corrosion products in the vicinity of canister fabrication welds, closure welds, and welds associated with temporary attachments during canister fabrication. Minor surface corrosion is acceptable.

Identified flaws may be assessed in accordance with the acceptance standards identified in ASME Code Section XI, IWB-3514.

Results of Inspections Requiring Additional Evaluation Indications of interest (locations on the canister surface susceptible to SCC including areas adjacent to fabrication welds, closure welds, locations where temporary attachments may have been welded to and subsequently removed from the canister and the weld heat-affected zones) that are subject to additional examination and disposition through the corrective action program include:

  • Red-orange colored corrosion products or red-orange colored corrosion tubercles with deposit accumulations especially when adjacent to welds or weld heat affected zones of these areas and locations where temporary attachments were welded to and subsequently removed from the canister
  • Appearance of any color of liner corrosion products of any size parallel to or traversing fabrication welds, closure welds, and the weld heat affected zones.
  • Red-orange colored corrosion products greater than 1 mm in diameter combined with deposit accumulations on any location of the canister
  • Red-orange colored corrosion tubercles of any size 7 Corrective Indications not meeting the acceptance criteria above (AMP element 6) require Actions additional evaluation after being entered into the sites corrective action program. An evaluation is to be performed to determine the extent and impact of the corrosion on the canisters ability to perform its intended function. The sites Quality Assurance (QA) program ensures that corrective actions are completed within the Corrective Action Program (CAP)and include any necessary functionality assessments, cause evaluations, extent of condition, actions, identify any modifications to the existing AMP (e.g. increased frequency), and determine if the condition is reportable per 10 CFR 72.75.

A-4 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 8 Confirmation The confirmation process is to be commensurate with the sites QA program. The QA Process program ensures that the confirmation process includes provisions to preclude repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality and the completion of inspections, evaluations, and corrective actions.

9 Administrative The site QA program ensures that administrative controls include provisions that Controls address instrument calibration and maintenance, inspector requirements, record retention requirements, and document control.

Administrative controls also address the frequency for updating the AMP based on inspection results along with industry operating experience. This AMP will be updated as necessary based on tollgate assessments.

10 Operating Previous operating experience for the W74 Canister indicates very minimal corrosion Experience detected to date. That operating experience has been incorporated into the guidance on inspections and acceptance criteria contained in this AMP.

A renewal application re-submittal inspection was performed on the W74 system at Big Rock Point in July 2019. 2 Three separate tasks were completed consisting of a video inspection of the accessible area in the annulus between the cask and canister; a visual inspection of the cask interior and visual inspection of the cask storage pad. A representative canister and storage cask were selected by Entergy based on increased susceptibility for moisture intrusion and corrosion. Heat loads at the time of loading the canisters at Big Rock Point were within 0.5 kW of each other, and all storage casks were placed into service within months of each other (between November 2002 and May 2003). The inspection revealed some minor observations; however, no structural deficiencies were identified, and all parts continue to perform their design function.

Surface rust was observed (Cask Serial Number W150-610-NMC) on washers under the nut on the tie rods (minimal depth) causing discoloration in the bearing plate and nut. Both these components are stainless steel and are not in danger of corroding.

NRC Region III Inspectors 3 reviewed the previous five-year cask inspection documentation for Big Rock Point storage cask number 7 that included both pictures and video of the interior of the cask and did not identify any findings of significance.

As canister inspections are performed in the future, inspection results will be uploaded into the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID) to be shared with other users.

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions Reinforced Concrete Structures AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 1 Scope of The AMP addresses reinforced concrete structures such as the concrete portions of Program the W150 Storage Cask. The associated SSCs include the concrete shell, shear key, and reinforcing steel in air-outdoor or sheltered environments.

The following aging effects are addressed in this program:

  • Cracking or loss of material (spalling, scaling) due to freeze-thaw degradation
  • Cracking, loss of strength, and loss of material (spalling, scaling) due to aggressive chemical attack
  • Cracking, and loss of strength due to reaction with aggregates
  • Loss of material (spalling, scaling) due to salt scaling
  • Loss of strength, increase in porosity and permeability and reduction of concrete pH (reducing corrosion resistance of steel embedments) due to leaching of calcium hydroxide
  • Cracking, loss of strength, loss of material (spalling, scaling), and loss of concrete/steel bond due to corrosion for reinforcing steel.

Although the ISFSI Storage Pad is not considered Important to Safety, as noted in FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Section 1.2, the pad should be inspected as may be required elsewhere.

2 Preventive Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects including continuance of Actions inspections of air inlet/outlet vents to confirm they are not blocked which also ensures design temperature limits are not exceeded and thermal dehydration of the concrete remains noncredible during the period of extended operation. As the storage cask reinforced concrete is designed and analyzed in accordance with the applicable provisions of ACI-349 and constructed using standard commercial practices, in accordance with the applicable provisions of ACI-318, no additional preventive actions are required.

3 Parameters The accessible and exposed concrete surfaces are visually examined for indications Monitored / of surface deterioration. The parameters monitored or inspected quantify the Inspected following aging effects:

  • Cracking
  • loss of material (spalling, scaling)
  • increased porosity/permeability Degradation could affect the ability of the concrete to provide radiation shielding, to provide a path for heat transfer and to provide tornado missile shielding. The inlet and outlet vents are also monitored by visual inspection to ensure they are not obstructed.

For inaccessible areas, an inspection using a video camera, fiber-optic scope or other remote inspection equipment via existing access points to determine if there is any evidence of concrete degradation. The parameters evaluated consider any surface A-6 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

That operating experience has been incorporated into the guidance on inspections and acceptance criteria contained in this AMP.

A renewal application pre-submittal inspection 7 was performed on the FuelSolutions storage casks at Big Rock Point in July 2019. Three separate tasks were completed consisting of a video inspection of the accessible area in the annulus between the cask and canister, visual inspection of the cask interior and a visual inspection of the cask storage pad. A representative canister and storage cask were selected by Entergy based on increased susceptibility for moisture intrusion and corrosion. Heat loads at the time of loading all of the canisters at Big Rock Point were within 0.5 kW of each other, and all storage casks were placed into service within months of each other (as noted, between November 2002 and May 2003). The inspection revealed some minor observations; however no structural deficiencies, and all parts continue to perform their design function.

NRC Region III Inspectors reviewed [Insp Rpt]. 8the previous five-year cask inspection documentation for Big Rock Point storage cask number 7 that included both pictures and video of the interior of the cask and did not identify any findings of significance.

As storage cask inspections are performed in the future, inspection results will be uploaded into the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID) to be shared with other users.

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (3 pages)

Element Description 1 Scope of The FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage system is approved for high burnup fuel up to Program 60,000 MWd/MTU. SNF assemblies stored in FuelSolutions W21 canisters are limited to intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. SNF is initially stored in a dry high purity helium environment. SNF assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 60 GWd/MTU), are limited to cladding oxide thickness of 70 m. It should be noted that as of the submittal of this renewal application for CoC 1026, no high burnup fuel assemblies have been loaded in a FuelSolutions W21 Canister.

The scope of this Aging Management Program (AMP) covers the FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage system with high burn up fuel to operate through the extended storage period.

The program relies on the joint EPRI and DOE High Burnup Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project (HDRP) conducted in accordance with the guidance in Appendix D of NUREG-1927, Rev 1, as a surrogate demonstration program that monitors the performance of high burnup fuel in dry storage.

The HDRP is a program designed to collect data from a SNF storage system containing high burnup fuel in a dry helium environment. The program entails loading and storing a bolted lid cask (the Research Project Cask), with intact high burnup fuel of nominal burnups between 50 GWd/MTU and 55 GWd/MTU). The fuel to be used in the program includes four kinds of zirconium based cladding. The Research Project Cask is licensed to the temperature limits contained in ISG-11 Rev 3 and loaded such that the fuel cladding temperature is as close to the limit as practicable.

The parameters of the surrogate demonstration program are applicable to the FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage system high burnup fuel, since the maximum system burnup limit, (60,000 MWd/MTU) is on the order of those being tested, the cladding is of the same type as those being tested, and the temperature limits of the fuel are the same as those being tested .

2 Preventive During initial loading operations of the FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Actions Specification 3.1.2 Canister Vacuum Drying Pressure specifies The CANISTER cavity vacuum pressure following drying shall be 3 torr, maintained for at least 30 minutes.

FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 3.1.1 W21 Canister Helium Backfill Density specify the canister helium backfill density range and completion time. In addition, FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 5.3.6 Vacuum Drying Program delineates the controls to assure that the spent fuel cladding does not exceed the temperature limit during loading operations. FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 5.3.7 Cladding Oxide Thickness Measurement Program denotes controls to verify cladding oxide layer thickness for fuel assemblies to be stored.

These requirements ensure that the high burnup fuel is stored in an inert environment, preventing cladding degradation due to oxidation mechanisms. In addition, fuel meets the guidance for temperature criteria noted in ISG-11, which A-17 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

Element Description minimizes the impacts of degradation mechanisms on the fuel. Refer to FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage System FSAR Section 4.3.2 Fuel Cladding Allowable Temperatures regarding established conservatism meeting the guidance of ISG-11, Rev 3. There are no additional specific preventative actions included as part of the AMP.

3 Parameters The parameters monitored and inspected are as those described in the HDRP.

Monitored or Inspected 4 Detection of This AMP utilizes the surrogate demonstration program, HDRP, to monitor Aging Effects performance of high burnup fuel and detect aging effects as described in the HDRP for high burnup fuel. FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 5.3.6 Vacuum Drying Program delineates the controls for fuel temperature limits to prevent degradation.

5 Monitoring As information / data from the HDRP or from other sources (such as testing or and Trending research results and scientific analyses) become available, the licensee will monitor, evaluate, and trend the information via its operating experience program and /or corrective action program to determine what actions should be taken.

The licensee will evaluate the information / data from the HDRP to determine whether the acceptance criteria in Element 6 of this AMP are met.

  • If all the acceptance criteria are met, no further assessment is needed.
  • If any of the acceptance criteria are not met, the licensee must conduct additional assessments and implement appropriate corrective actions (see Element 7 of this AMP).

Formal evaluations of the aggregate information from the HDRP, available operating experience, NRC-generated communications, and other information will be performed as required. Refer to Chapter 4, Aging Management Tollgates.

6 Acceptance The following criteria are to be addressed against the information obtained from the Criteria HDRP. The criteria are:

  • Hydrogen content - Maximum hydrogen content of the cover gas over the approved storage period should be extrapolated from the gas measurements to be less than the design-bases limit for hydrogen content
  • Moisture content - the moisture content in the canister, accounting for measurement uncertainty should be less than the expected upper-bound moisture content per the design-bases drying process
  • Fuel condition / performance - nondestructive and destructive examinations should confirm the design-bases fuel condition (i.e., no changes to the analyzed fuel configuration considered in the safety analyses of the approved design bases)

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 FuelSolutions W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (3 pages)

Element Description The design-bases characteristics of the FuelSolutions W21 Canister system and high burnup fuel parameters are addressed in the FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage FSAR Section 4.3.1 W21 Canister. It should be noted that Westinghouse Electric Company was initially involved in developing mathematical correlations based on this test data used for development of a creep-based methodology for the determination of allowable peak cladding temperature during dry storage as well as addressing cladding creep correlation presented in WCAP-15168 9.

Note that because the cask design to be used in the HDRP is different from the FuelSolutions W21 Canister system, the acceptance criteria will be based on the Research Project Cask design bases. If the fuel in the Research Project Cask meets the applicable design bases, the fuel in the FuelSolutions W21 Canisters storage system should also meet its design bases, as described in Element 1.

7 Corrective The corrective actions are implemented in accordance with the licensee's NRC Actions approved QA program. If the acceptance criteria are not met, the issue will be entered into the licensee corrective action program to assess fuel performance, assess the design-bases safety analyses, consider degraded fuel performance and determine the ability of the system to continue to perform its intended functions.

The corrective action program will identify necessary actions, changes to the existing AMP and determine if the condition is reportable.

In addition, the licensee will obtain the necessary NRC approval in the appropriate licensing / certification process for modification of the design bases to address any conditions outside of the approved design bases.

8 Confirmation The confirmation process is commensurate with the licensee's NRC approved QA Process program. The QA program ensures that required corrective actions are completed and effective in accordance with the program to preclude repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality.

9 Administrative Administrative controls are in accordance with the licensee's QA program and include Controls a formal review and approval processes, document control and record retention requirements. This AMP will be updated as necessary based on tollgate assessments.

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 APPENDIX B: FUELSOLUTIONS TLAAs B.0 Introduction This appendix outlines the Time Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA) for the FuelSolutions Storage System. TLAAs meet the all the following criteria:

(1) Involve SSCs important to safety within the scope of the specific-license renewal, as delineated in Subpart F of 10 CFR Part 72, or within the scope of the spent fuel storage CoC renewal, as delineated in Subpart L of 10 CFR Part 72, respectively.

(2) Consider the effects of aging.

(3) Involve time-limited assumptions defined by the current operating term.

(4) Were determined to be relevant by the specific licensee or certificate holder in making a safety determination (5) Involve conclusions or provide the basis of conclusions related to the capability of SSCs to perform their intended safety functions.

(6) Are contained or incorporated by reference in the design bases.

B.1 Identification of FuelSolutions TLAAs Using the TLAA-identification criteria discussed in Section 3.2.4.1, the CoC, SER, Technical Specifications were reviewed and the following TLAAs were identified for further evaluation and disposition:

1. W21 Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion
2. W74 Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion
3. W21 Canister Fatigue (Including Basket)
4. W74 Canister Fatigue (Including Basket)
5. W100 Transfer Cask Fatigue B.2 W21 Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion As described and analyzed in FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage FSAR [2.4] Section 6.3, the FuelSolutions W21 canister design is based on both favorable geometry and fixed BORAL neutron absorber material (poison) to ensure that fuel assemblies are maintained in a subcritical condition with a keff less than 0.95 under all conditions of storage. The criticality safety evaluation credits only 75% of the manufacturers minimum assured boron content and the continued efficacy of fixed BORAL neutron absorber materials are demonstrated to be capable to perform its B-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 function until the end of the canisters service life.

The continued efficacy of BORAL is demonstrated by the process controls under which the material is manufactured and verified. These controls assure a homogeneous dispersion of boron throughout the material. In addition, the effects of long-term exposure to neutron flux from irradiated fuel is negligible because the thermal neutron flux during dry storage is low. This fact, coupled with the use of the minimum specified boron concentration, reduced by 25%, more than accounts for any boron depletion which may occur over the 100-year design life of the FuelSolutions W21 canister.

With the conservatism in the W21 FSAR analysis, boron depletion is not an issue for the BORAL neutron absorber material and satisfies the extended 60-year storage life as well as the 100-year canister service life.

B.3 W74 Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion As described in FuelSolutions W74 Canister Storage FSAR [2.5] Section 6.3, the FuelSolutions W74 canister design is based on both favorable geometry and fixed borated stainless steel neutron absorber material (poison) to ensure that fuel assemblies are maintained in a subcritical condition with a keff less than 0.95 under all conditions of storage and hypothetical accident conditions.

The relatively low neutron flux during the storage period, which will continue to decay over time, does not result in significant depletion of the borated stainless steels available boron. The boron content of the material used in the criticality safety analysis is conservatively based on the minimum specified boron concentration (rather than the nominal) verified by testing during material manufacture. The criticality safety evaluation credits only 75% of the manufacturers minimum assured boron content, and the fixed neutron absorber material is demonstrated to be capable to perform its function during the canisters service life.

As described in FuelSolutions W74 Canister Storage FSAR Section 6.3.2, the effectiveness of the fixed borated stainless steel neutron absorbing material utilized in the canister basket design assures criticality safety during worst case design basis conditions over the 100-year service life of the canister. This FSAR analysis encompasses the requested 40 year renewal period of storage in addition to the initial 20 years of storage for a total 60 year extended period of storage.

Section NC-3219.2 Rules to Determine Need for Fatigue Analysis of Integral Parts of Vessels states that a fatigue analysis is not needed if all six criteria in Condition B are met. FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Section 3.5.3.3.5 addresses the following six criteria, identified in ASME NC-3219.2, Condition B, that must be met so that a fatigue analysis is not required:

B-5 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

1. The expected design number of full range pressure cycles
2. The expected design range of pressure cycles during normal service
3. The temperature difference between any two adjacent points
4. The range of temperature difference between any two adjacent points
5. Temperature Difference- Dissimilar Materials
6. Mechanical Loading For criterion (a), The expected design number of full range pressure cycles, using the code and associated tables and code fatigue curve, the FSAR identified that the W100 Transfer Cask has a maximum of 20,000 full range cycles. The FSAR stated a design life of 40 years with a maximum number of canister transfers estimated at 25 per year for a total of 1000 full range liquid neutron shield jacket pressure cycles. The 1,000 cycles is less than the corresponding maximum number of cycles of 20,000 and therefore the criterion is satisfied. For the extended life of 60 years and the estimated cycles of 25 per year, the total of full range cycles will be 60 X 25 = 1,500 cycles which is still less than the maximum 20,000 cycles and criterion (a) is satisfied for the 60-year extended life.

For criterion (b), The expected design range of pressure cycles during normal service, as identified in criterion (a) above, the cask lifetime of loading operations is 1000 cycles based on a 40-year life. Based on the code, the maximum number of liquid neutron shield jacket pressure fluctuations allowed by the code requirements is 106 with the significant liquid neutron shield jacket pressure fluctuation range of 27 psi. Conservatively assuming that there are 4 significant pressure fluctuations during each loading which provides the number of significant fluctuations of 1000 X 4 = 4000 cycles with a Sa of 80 ksi which provides a 76 psi allowable pressure range which is greater than the design range of 65 psi and the condition is met. For the extended life of 60 years, the corresponding number of loading cycles is 1,500, from criterion (a) above. Using the method above and described in the FSAR, the significant fluctuations at 6000 cycles, with Sa of 70 ksi which provides an allowable pressure range pressure of 67 psi is greater than the design range of 65 psi and the condition is met for a 60-year extended life.

For criterion (c), The temperature difference between any two adjacent points, as identified in criterion (a) above, for the extended life of 60 years, the total number of startup and shutdown cycles in 1500. Based on 1500 cycles and the W100 material property data, the quantity of Sa /

2E is calculated as approximately 213°F. Under no condition does the temperature difference between any adjacent points approach this value. Therefore, the third criterion (c) is satisfied for the extended life of 60 years.

Criterion (d), The range of temperature difference between any two adjacent points, for a 60-year extended life, the range of temperature difference between any two adjacent points does not change during normal service by more than approximately 213°F calculated in criterion (c) above. As identified in the W100 FSAR, any changes in the transfer cask temperature are relatively slow and gradual due to its large thermal capacity and absence of rapid changes in the external conditions.

B-6 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Therefore, the fourth criterion (d) is satisfied for the extended life of 60 years.

For the fifth criterion (e), Temperature Difference-Dissimilar Material, as identified in the FSAR for the W100 Transfer Cask and components, are all fabricated of Type 304, F304, and F304N stainless steel. The moduli of elasticity and coefficients of thermal expansion are the same for all these materials. Therefore, no dissimilar materials are used, and the fifth criterion (e) is satisfied for the extended life of 60 years.

For the sixth criterion (f), Mechanical Loading the transfer cask maximum stress condition only occurs for a fully loaded transfer cask and canister. Based on experience for any given loading campaign there is only 1 transfer cask lift fully loaded (with fuel and water), 1 for flooded (water but no fuel), and 1 for fully loaded (dry fuel) for a total of 3 lift / setdowns + 5 significant vibrations +1 upending/downendings + 1 canister transfer for the total of 10. The total lifetime number of cycles for the 60 year extended life is then 10 X 1,500 = 15,000 and the Sa value for this number of cycles is 60 ksi. As shown in W100 FSAR Table 3.5-8, the total stress intensity at any point of the transfer cask does not exceed 55.3 ksi. Therefore, this criterion(f) is satisfied for the 60 year extended life.

Since the six criteria are met for the W100 Transfer Cask, fatigue is not a concern for the 60 year extended life.

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 APPENDIX C: SYSTEM INSPECTIONS Introduction It should be noted that starting in 2012, approximately 10 years after being placed in service, inspections of the FuelSolutions Storage System storage cask exterior and cask interior started being performed on an annual and five year basis, respectively, to assure conformance within system parameters.

Annual inspections of the exterior surfaces have been performed on each of the FuelSolutions W150 Storage Cask in service. In addition, an interior inspection of the FuelSolutions W150 storage Cask #7 at the Big Rock Point ISFSI as part of a five (5) year schedule since 2012 with no major degradation detected.

Annual inspections of the FuelSolutions W100 Transfer Cask have also been performed. The inspections include coatings and accessible welds. The W100 Transfer Cask inspection have been performed since 2013 with no degradation detected.

Pre-application Inspection In addition to the in-service inspections noted above, an extensive pre-submittal inspection of the FuelSolutions W74 Canister, a FuelSolutions Storage Cask W150 was performed in 2019 to gather information to support development of the renewal application and the supporting AMPs included in this application. As the seven (7) storage casks were placed in service within several months of each other and the canister heat loads at the time of the loading were within 0.5 kw of each other and, the storage cask selected for inspection is considered representative of the all the fuel storage casks in service. Although the ISFSI Storage Pad is not considered to be an in-scope item for the purpose of this CoC renewal application, it was prudently included in the inspection none the less.

The inspection consisted of three separate tasks. A video inspection of the access area in the annulus between the storage cask and the canister, a visual inspection of the exterior of the cask and a visual inspection of the cask storage pad itself. The canister selected was TSC-LO-005-N.

The storage cask inspected was W150-610-NMC. As noted in the inspection report 10, The videoscope was fed through each of the top vents to inspect the exterior of the canister, the interior of the cask shield plate and the support and guide rails. The videoscope was fed through the bottom vents to observe the bottom plate and support tubes. Videos were recorded during the inspection.

Any indications observed were investigated to determine the extent of the indication.

The inspection of the FuelSolutions Storage Cask exterior concrete revealed only some minor local passive cracks. The cracks were less 0.4 mm in width. There were no observed instances of damage, scaling or spalling. There were no indications of leaching or chemical attacks. There were no indications of exposed reinforcing bar or reinforcing corrosion. Some of the grout placed in the joints between cask sections has been replaced. This grout is cosmetic only and is replaced as necessary. Results of the inspection of the FuelSolutions Storage Cask interior note there was 10 Report 4T002-RPT-001, Rev 0 FuelSolutions Renewal Application Pre-Submittal Inspection, August 29, 2019 C-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 some debris, dirt and water marks in the vents and on the shield plate inside the W150 cask. No structural deficiencies were observed. The cask continues to perform its design function.

Inspection of the FuelSolutions W74 canister exterior surface revealed Some dirt and water marks were observed on the cask surface. Several indications were observed. Two indications had a depth of 0.003 and one had a depth of 0.04, 0.535 long. These indications on a 5/8 thick shell result in negligible loss of section and are therefore considered to be minor in nature. All indications appear to be from the fabrication of the canister or during cask loading operations. There was no indication of cracks, unanticipated degradation or corrosion.

As noted above, although the ISFSI pad is not considered to be in scope for this CoC renewal application, the results did reveal There were several observed locations of damage to the top surface of the pad. In addition, there were surface cracks throughout the pad. None of the observed damage or cracks affect the ability of the pad to perform its design function.

In total, the pre-application inspection of the W150 Storage Cask and the exterior of the W74 Canister state there are no observed deficiencies or unanticipated degradation on the exterior of the cask.

As noted in the pre-application inspection report: Inspection of the FuelSolutions W100 Transfer cask was not included in this inspection. In accordance with CCA-000190 the utilities most recent Transfer Cask inspections were used in lieu of performing the inspection. Inspections in accordance with Big Rock Point Procedure T365-37 performed in 2013 thru 2018 were reviewed.

The inspections included the surface coatings, accessible welds, cover alignment, bolts and impact limiters. There were no identified deficiencies in the inspected components.

Baseline Inspections Baseline inspections confirm that the results of pre-application inspections are bounding of the site and verify the adequacy of the AMPs. Considering the renewal application pre-submittal inspection was performed at the site (Big Rock Point) currently using the FuelSolution Storage System, the AMP baseline inspections to be performed upon entering the period of extended operation can assess the condition of SSCs to confirm the results of the pre-application inspections conducted and serve to verify the technical justifications provided.

Baseline inspections are to be performed on the in-scope SSC at the ISFSI site at the time the system enters the period of extended storage (i.e., 20 years after the first FuelSolutions Storage System was placed in service). The baseline inspection meets the criteria defined in the AMPs in Appendix A. The first (baseline) inspection should occur within one year of the 20th anniversary of the initial storage cask loading at the site or within one year of the issuance of the renewed license, whichever is later. Subsequent inspections will occur on a 5 year frequency (+/- 25%)

starting from the baseline date. This schedule applies to the canister external inspection and the storage cask internal inspection.

For the storage cask external inspections, the first (baseline) inspection should occur within one year of the 20th anniversary of the initial overpack loading at the site or within one year of the issuance of the renewed license, whichever is later. Future inspections will occur with a 1 year C-2 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions CoC Renewal Application Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 frequency (+/- 25%) starting from the baseline date. Other AMP inspections are pre-use type inspections for which the baseline inspection will occur before the first use of the applicable component once it has been in service more than 20 years. Note that the W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP does not have an inspection component and the schedule is based on the demonstration project as described in the AMP in Appendix A.

The operational controls and limits to be applied to the FuelSolutions' Wl50 Storage Cask are contained in Chapter 12 of this FSAR. Application of these requirements will assure that the FuelSolutionsTM Wl50 Storage Cask is fabricated, operated, and maintained in a manner that satisfies the design criteria defined in this chapter.

Deco111miss;oning Decommissioning considerations for the FuelSolutionsTM Storage System, including the FuelSolutionsTM Wl50 Storage Cask, are addressed in Chapter 14 of this FSAR.

2.1.2.2 Transfer Cask 160

~~, . ~

The FuelSolutionsTM Wl 00 Transfer Cask is designed for ~ years of service, while satisfying the requirements of 10CFR72. The design considerations that assure tran sfer cask performance throughout the service life include addressing the following:

  • Exposure to environmental effects
  • Structural fatigue effects

FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Document No. WSNF-220 Docket No. 72-1026 3.1.2.1.2 Supplemental Stru ctural Criteria The storage cask is designed for operation under extreme off-normal ambient temperatures as low as -40°F, hence, the cask materials of construction are selected to provide sufficient protection against brittle fracture failure at that temperature.

Brittle fracture failure is not applicable to the reinforced concrete components. In accordance with NUREG/CR-1815, 7 the storage cask liner (shell, bottom plate, and shield ring) and top cover plate are considered Catego1y III components and must have sufficient frac ture toughness to prevent fracture initiation at minor defects typical of good fabrication practices.

Section 5.3.1(4) ofNUREG/CR-1815 states that this can be achieved by specifying a material with a minimum energy absorption (Cv) of 15 ft-lb at 10°F . Therefore, the storage cask carbon steel liner and top cover are fabricated from carbon steel with a supplementa1y requirement of demonstrating the above frac ture toughness. As such, sufficient degree of safety is provided against brittle fracture failure in the storage cask liner and cover.

The storage cask cover is attached to the storage cask body using twelve 11/4 inch socket head cap screws fabricated from SAE Grade 8 bolting material. In accordance with Section 5 of NUREG/CR-1815, bolts are generally not considered as fracture-critical components because multiple load paths exist and bolting systems are generally redundant, as is the case with the storage cask .

The storage cask top, middle, and bottom reinforced concrete segments are joined together using eight full-length tie rods. The tie rods are fabricated from ASTM A564, Grade 630 (Hl 150) precipitation-hardened stainless steel. This material and associated clamp nut shall be tested to the same requirements as the storage cask liner and cover plate as noted above.

3.1.2.2 Transfer Cask 3.1.2.2.1 Applicable Codes and Standards The transfer cask structural components that are important to safety are designed using linear elastic analysis in accordance with the criteria of ASME Code, Subsection NF 8 for Class 1 component supports. These criteria are applicable to the transfer cask inner liner, structural shell, top flange, bottom flange, lower trunnions, neutron shield jacket, top cover, bottom cover, ram access cover, closure bolts, and all structural welds, including the trunnion-to-shell welds. A summa1y of the transfer cask component functions, safety classes, and applicable codes and standards is provided in Table 3.1-1. The transfer cask allowable stress criteria ofNF-3220 is summarized in Table 3 .1-5. Subsection NF does not require the evaluation of thennal stress or 7

FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Document No. WSNF-220 Docket No. 72-1026 peak stress. In order to address thennal and peak stresses, the design criteria of the more restrictive Subsection NC 9 of the ASME Code are used.

The transfer cask upper trunnions are used to lift and handle the transfer cask inside the fuel building in areas where its accidental drop could damage safe shutdown equipment. As such, the transfer cask upper trunnions are considered interfacing lift points and are designed in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 5.1.6(3)(b) of NUREG-0612 10 and Section 7.2 of ANSI Nl4.6 11 for non-redundant lifting devices supporting a critical load. Factors of safety of 6 on the material yield strength and 10 on the material ultimate strength are required for shear and bending stresses in the upper trunnions as they cany the maximum weight of the transfer cask and its contents plus any dynamic amplification due to handling loads.

The transfer cask lower trunnions are used only for rotating the transfer cask between vertical and horizontal orientation and supporting the transfer cask horizontally on the transfer skid. The lower trunnions are not interfacing lift points for any critical lift conditions. As such, the lower trunnions do not have to meet the requirements ofNUREG-0612 and are designed in accordance with Subsection NF of the ASME Code, as discussed above.

3.1.2.2.2 Supplemental Stru ctural Criteria Brittle Fracture All structural components of the FuelSolutionsD,j transfer cask are fabricated from austeniric stainless steels. With the exception of the transfer cask top and bottom cover bolts, all transfer cask materials are Type 304, Type F304, or Type F304N austenitic stainless steel. Since these materials do not undergo a ductile to brittle transition in the temperature range of interest (down to -40°F), they are not subject to brittle fracture.

The cover bolts are fabricated from SA-320, Grade L43 bolting steel. As discussed in NUREG/CR-1 815, closure bolts are generally not considered fracture critical components if the bolting system is redundant. The top and bottom covers are each fastened to the transfer cask body using 16 bolts . Similarly, the ram access cover is attached using four bolts. Therefore, the transfer cask cover bolting systems are redundant and are not fracture critical components.

Fatigue The transfer cask is designed to the requirements of Subsection NF of the ASME Code which does not require evaluation of fatigue. However, for completeness of the transfer cask design and analysis, fatigue is evaluated using the criteria of Subsection NC of the ASME Code. As discussed in Section 3.5.3.3.5, the analysis of the FuelSolutionsTM transfer cask demonstrates that nonnal operating cycles do not present a fatigue concern for the FuelSolutionsD,j tramfer cask components over the

FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Document No. WSNF-220 Docket No. 72-1026 Buckling In addition to the linear elastic stress analysis discussed in Section 3.1.2.2.1, general instability of the transfer cask shell is evaluated for the postulated 72-inch side drop accident at the storage pad. These evaluations are perfonned to assure that the transfer cask does not buckle and potentially compromise integrity of the canister or prevent retrieval of the canister following a drop accident. Because of these criteria, an elas to-plastic analysis of the transfer cask body is perfonned to detennine the plastic instability load (i.e., load at which unbounded plastic deformation can occur without increase in load). In accordance with the requirements of F- l 34 l .4(a) of the ASME Code, the maximum applied load is limited to 70% of the plastic instability load.

FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Document No. WSNF-220 Docket No. 72-1026 3.4 General Standards for Casks 3.4.1 Chemical and Galvanic Reactions The FuelSolutionsTM storage cask and transfer cask have been evaluated to detennine that the materials of constmction will not cause significant chemical, galvanic, or other reactions in the intended service conditions. Chemical, galvanic, and other reactions in storage cask and transfer cask are discussed in the following sections.

3.4.1 .1 Storage Cask No significant chemical, galvanic, or other reactions are expected for the FuelSolutions storage cask considering its materials of construction and intended service conditions. The storage cask is ,c onstmcted with reinforced concrete, coated carbon steel, and austenitic stainless steel. During the on-site storage service of the storage cask, the cask exterior concrete is exposed to the environment while inside the storage cask is predominately dry and warm. The carbon steel components of the storage cask, i.e., the liner, top cover, non-load bearing guide rails, tie rod tub es, and air inlet and outlet liners, are all protected with long lasting temperature- and radiation-resistant coatings. Due to substantial variation in c01rnsion rates of coated carbon steel, storage sites located in coastal or industrial environments should evaluate the need to apply a top coat on a site-specific basis. The thermal shield is made of aluminum and the canister support pip es are made from austenitic stainless steel. All these components are highly resistant to oxidization/corrnsion.

The dissimilar materials of the storage cask which are in direct contact with one another include the concrete, carbon steel liner, and reinforcing steel. Portland cement concrete provides an environment which protects the steel liner and reinforcing steel from corrnsion. The high alkaline environment (pH> 12.5) in concrete results in the formation of a tightly adhering film (gamma iron (III) oxides) which passivates the steel and thereby protects it from corrnsion due to penetration of chloride ions. That, together with the heavy reinforcement which minimizes shrinkage cracking and the concrete cover provided to protect the reinforcement, assures maximum service life. In addition, the external concrete surface degradation is mitigated by using a weather-resistant protective coating.

The only contact between the canister assembly and the storage cask occurs at the external surface of the canister shell and the storage cask guide rails and bottom end support pipes. All ex.posed surfaces of the canister shell are austenitic stainless steel. The support pipes on which the canister rests are also made from austenitic stainless steel. The surfaces of the storage cask support rails which contact the canister are faced with Nitronic-60 sheet. Prolonged use of sta inless steel in contact with stainless steel or inorganic zinc-coated carbon steel produces no significant chemical, galvanic, or other reaction.

1' 3.4.2 Positive Closure The FuelSolutionsTM storage cask cannot be inadve1tently opened. The storage cask top cover consists of a heavy steel plate which is attached to the storage cask using twelve structural bolts.

Follow ing placement of the storage cask cover, a lock wire is installed over one or more of the top cover bolts. Failure The lead in the transfer cask is fully encased with austenitic stainless steel µ and is not exposed to water or atmospheric containments and therefore 3.4.3 Lifting Devi will not haYe any adverse chemical reaction with the stainless steel.

The FuelSolutionsTM storage and transfer casks include provisions for lifting associated with nonnal handling operations. TI1e following subsections address structural adequacy of the lifting devices for both casks. The lifting ofFuelSolutionsTM canisters is addressed in the respective Canister Storage FSARs.

3.4.3.1 Storage Cask The storage cask be lifted either from the top using four of the tie rods or from the bottom using four jacks and air pallets. The design load for the storage cask vertical lift is equal to the deadweight of the heaviest loaded storage cask plus an additional 5% for as-built uncertainties and 15% for dynamic effects, as discussed in Section 2.3.1.7. As shown in Section 3.2, the weight of the heaviest storage cask w ith canister is less than 335 kips.

In the case of the top end lift, spreader beams are used to assure that the load is evenly distributed between all four tie rods. The resulting maximmn tensile force in each tie rod due to the vertical lift of the long storage cask is

_ 1.05 -1.15

  • 335 _ k. .

Frod - ------ - 10 1.2 1ps 4

This maximum tensile force in the tie rods due to the vertical lift is less than the tie rod minimum preload after the relaxation during storage (see Section 3.1.1.1). Therefore, under nonnal vertical lifting loads, the tie rod µreload will maintain compression across the storage cask segment joints to assure that the segments remain engaged.

The storage cask may also be lifted from the bottom end using four j acks positioned inside the inlet vent openings. The total load suppo1ted by the jacks is 1.05 *1.15 *335 = 404.5kips as discussed above. It is conservatively assumed that the total lift load is supported by only two diametrically opposed jacks in the event of uneven jacking. Therefore, the maximmn jack load is 202.3 kips. Using the ACI 349 requirements for bearing loads, the concrete allowable bearing stress is calculated to be qi(2

  • 0.85f/ ) = 0.7 *(2
  • 0.85 *5) = 5.95 ksi and the necessa1y bearing area is 34.0 i1i2. Consequently, each jack is fitted w ith a bearing plate of this or larger area.

FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Document No. WSNF-220 Docket No. 72-1026 The evaluation of the transfer cask inner liner and structural shell stresses in the regions of the upper lifting trunnions employs finite element analysis and is addressed in Section 3.5.3.3.2.

The transfer cask top cover is lifted by four attachment points on the top surface. The full weight of the top cover (4,414 pounds) and the ram access cover (752 pounds) are assumed to be supported by two lifting attachments, thus, providing redundancy of the load path. The design load for each attachment of the top cover lifting device is 2,600 pounds plus the 15% increase for crane hoist motion, or 2,990 pounds. The lifting slings and attachments which thread into the transfer cask top cover are designed with minimum factors of safety of 5 against ultimate in accordance with the requirements ofNUREG 0612 for redundant lifting devices.

Exposure to Envh*onmental Effects Thennal gradients resulting from the SNF decay heat and fluctuati ons in the ambient temperature and isolation cause sustained forces and moments in the storage cask reinforced concrete wall section over time. The resulting creep defonnations tend to relieve such stresses in reinforced concrete. Creep effects for the storage cask are evaluated and found to be insignificant, as discussed in Section 3.1. 1. 1 of this FSAR. As discussed in Chapter 9 of this FSAR, the aggregates, cement and water used in the storage cask concrete are carefully controlled to provide high durability and resistance to weathering. The configuration of the storage cask and the low water-cement ratio us.ed provide added resistance to freeze-thaw degradation.

In addition, the storage cask is specifically designed for a full range of enveloping design basis natural phenomena which could occur over the 100-year service life of the storage cask as defined in Section 2.3.4 and evaluated in Chapter 11 of this FSAR.

Material Degradahon The relatively low neutron flux to which the storage cask is subjected does not result in significant degradation of the cask 's material properties or impair its intended safety function.

The reinforced concrete of the storage cask is not subject to conosion because the reinforcing steel has adequate concrete cover in accordance with the requirements of ACI 349. Any storage cask materials which come into contact with the canister, such as the canister support pipes and support rails, are coated or fabricated from conosion resistant stainless steel. The storage cask tie rods are fabricated from high strength conosion-resistant steel and are accessible to verify tensioning. Exposed carbon steel components, such as the storage cask cover, are coated and accessible for re-coating if necessa1y. Exposed carbon steel components, such as the storage cask liner, which are not readily accessible are coated and not relied upon structurally. The controlled environment of the ISFSI storage pad mitigates damage due to direct exposure to conosive chemicals which may be present in other industrial applications.

J\1aintenance and Inspection Provisions The requirements for periodic inspection and maintenance of the storage cask throughout the 100-year service life are defined in Chapter 9 of this FSAR. These requirements include provisions for routine inspection of the storage cask exterior and peJ*iodic inspection of the storage cask interior for damage as well as visual verification that the ventilation flow paths of the storage cask are free and clear of debris. ISFSis located in areas subject to atmospheric conditions which may degrade the storage cask or canister should be evaluated by the licensee on a site-specific basis to detennine the frequency for such inspections to assure long term perfonnance. In addition, the FuelSolutionsTM Storage System is designed for easy retrieval of the canister from the storage cask, should it become necessa1y to perform more detailed inspections and repairs to the storage cask.

The above findings are consistent with those of the NRC's Waste Confidence Decision Review 18 which concluded that d1y storage systems designed, fabricated, inspected and operated in accordance with such requirements are adequate for a 100-year service life while satisfying the requirements of 10CFR72.

Similar to (a) above, only the liquid neutron shield jacket is designed to withstand internal pressure. During the canister transfer operations, the design range of pressure cycle can be conservatively defined to be from -15 psi (static head pressure of 35 feet of pool water when the jacket is empty) to the bounding internal design pressure of +50 psi. Therefore, the design pressure range during nonnal service is 65 psi. 70 1,500 .~ 6,000 The number of loading oper tions over the ask lifetime is ~ ~mined above.

The transfer cask load combination stress evaluation is conservatively performed by combining the maximum transfer cask component stress intensities clue to each individual load condition ill'espective of sign and location. The transfer cask maxinuun stresses due to the controlling nonnal transfer and storage conditions are summarized in Table 3.5-7. The resulting transfer cask normal condition load combination stress intensities are reported in Table 3.5-8. The load combination stress results demonstrate that the transfer cask has significant design margin for all normal transfer and operating conditions. The minimum design margin in the transfer cask for combined normal loading is +9% for the primary plus secondary stress intensity in the strucmral shell.

3.5.4 Cold Ambient Conditions The Fue!Solutions'N storage cask and transfer cask have been evaluated for the effects of an extreme cold ambient condition with no interna l decay heat load. The evaluation considers the effects of extreme cold temperamres on the material properties and the potential for freezing of the transfer cask liquid neutron shield.

As discussed in Section 3.1 .2, brittle fracmre of the transfer and storage cask components is not a concem clue to the selection of materials with the adequate fracture toughness.

The effects of an extreme off-nonnal cold ambient temperature combined with maxinuun decay heat load are evaluated forthe storage cask in Section 3.6.1. 1 of this FSAR. The results of the storage cask off-normal cold thermal stress eva luation demonstrate that the storage cask will continue to perform its intended safety functions under these conditions. The effec ts of extreme cold ambient conditions combined with a lower decay heat load produce lower stresses in the storage cask since the temperamre gradients are a function of the decay heat load. For the condition with zero decay heat load, the storage cask has a uniform temperature equal to the ambient tempera ture, hence, it remains stress free.

Element Description 1 Scope of Program The AMP addresses reinforced concrete structures such as the concrete portions of the W150 Storage Cask. The associated SSCs include the concrete shell, shear key, and reinforcing steel in air-outdoor or sheltered environments.

The following aging effects are addressed in this program:

  • Cracking or loss of material (spalling, scaling) due to freeze-thaw degradation
  • Cracking, loss of strength, and loss of material (spalling, scaling) due to aggressive chemical attack
  • Cracking, and loss of strength due to reaction with aggregates
  • Loss of material (spalling, scaling) due to salt scaling
  • Loss of strength, increase in porosity and permeability and reduction of concrete pH (reducing corrosion resistance of steel embedments) due to leaching of calcium hydroxide
  • Cracking, loss of strength, loss of material (spalling, scaling), and loss of concrete/steel bond due to corrosion for reinforcing steel.

Although the ISFSI Storage Pad is not considered Important to Safety, as noted in FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Section 1.2, the pad should be inspected as may be required elsewhere.

2 Preventive Actions Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects including continuance of inspections of air inlet/outlet vents to confirm they are not blocked which also ensures design temperature limits are not exceeded and thermal dehydration of the concrete remains noncredible during the period of extended operation. As the storage cask reinforced concrete is designed and analyzed in accordance with the applicable provisions of ACI-349 and constructed using standard commercial practices, in accordance with the applicable provisions of ACI-318, no additional preventive actions are required.

3 Parameters The accessible and exposed concrete surfaces are visually examined for Monitored / indications of surface deterioration. The parameters monitored or Inspected inspected quantify the following aging effects:

  • Cracking
  • loss of material (spalling, scaling)
  • increased porosity/permeability Degradation could affect the ability of the concrete to provide radiation shielding, to provide a path for heat transfer and to provide tornado missile shielding. The inlet and outlet vents are also monitored by visual inspection to ensure they are not obstructed.

For inaccessible areas, an inspection of the concrete inlet ducts using a video camera, fiber-optic scope or other remote inspection equipment via existing access points on one cask to determine if there is any evidence of concrete degradation. The parameters evaluated consider any surface geometries that may identify water ponding which potentially increases

The accessible internal concrete surfaces of the storage cask are inspected for indications of degradation. These indications may impact the long-term ability of the storage cask to meet its intended functions.

4 Detection of Aging The AMP includes a visual inspection of the exterior surfaces of the Effects storage cask to detect if there are any aging effects. The visual survey can identify staining or degradation-related activity and the degree of damage. This visual inspection confirms the current exterior condition of the storage cask and can identify the extent and cause of any aging effect noted. This visual inspection is conducted annually by an individual meeting the qualification requirements of ACI-349.

A visual inspection of the readily accessible areas of the storage cask annular space and interior areas of the vents shall be performed using a using a video camera, fiber-optic scope or other remote inspection equipment. This visual inspection shall meet the requirements in accordance with the acceptance criteria in ACI 349.3R-02 (ACI, 2010) and be performed at least once every five (5) years. Note: As the interior of the storage cask utilizes a steel liner, the Metallic Surfaces AMP addresses the metallic portions of the storage cask.

In addition to visual inspections, radiological surveys of the storage cask are performed to verify compliance with 10 CFR 72.104. Cask surface dose rates are monitored per FuelSolutions STORAGE SYSTEM Technical Specification 5.3.5, Cask Surface Dose Rate Evaluation Program. The results of dose rate surveys are also reviewed 11 by NRC Region III inspectors.

Data from all inspection and monitoring activities, including evidence of degradation and its extent and location, shall be documented on a checklist or inspection form. The results for the inspection will be documented, including descriptions of observed aging effects and supporting sketches, photographs or video.

The internal inspection shall be performed on one of the storage casks at each ISFSI at a frequency of 5 years (+/- 25%). The first inspection should occur within 1 year of the 20th anniversary of initial storage cask loading at the site or within 1 year of the issuance of the renewed license, whichever is later.

The inspection shall be documented, including a detailed description of the surface condition and location of areas showing surface degradation.

5 Monitoring and Monitoring and trending of the results from documented inspection Trending should support the ability to evaluate the results against acceptance criteria. Methods are commensurate with consensus defect evaluation guides and standards. The inspections and surveillances described for reinforced concrete are performed periodically in order to identify areas 11 NRC Inspection Report 07200043/2018001; 05000155/2018001 Big Rock Point Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation ML18330A231 dated 11/26/2018.

The results will be evaluated by a qualified individual, and areas of degradation not meeting established criteria will be documented in the sites corrective action program for resolution or detailed evaluation. Inspection records, including photos and /or videos, are to be retained for comparison in subsequent examinations. The results from the visual inspections will be compared against previous inspections in order to trend progression of identified aging effects over time.

6 Acceptance Criteria American Concrete Institute Standard 349.3R-02 includes quantitative three-tier acceptance criteria for visual inspections of concrete surfaces as follows:

  • Tier 1 acceptance without further evaluation
  • Tier 2 acceptance after review
  • Tier 3 acceptance requiring further evaluation Acceptance signifies that a component is free of significant deficiencies or degradation that could lead to the loss of structural integrity.

Acceptable after review signifies that a component contains deficiencies or degradation but will remain able to perform its design basis function until the next inspection or repair. Acceptance requiring further evaluation signifies that a component contains deficiencies or degradation that could prevent (or could prevent prior to the next inspection) the ability to perform its design basis function. Degradations or conditions meeting the ACI 349.3R-02 Tier 2 and 3 criteria will be entered into the sites corrective action program for evaluation and resolution.

The loss of material due to age-related degradation will be evaluated by a qualified person in accordance with ACI 349.3R-02. A technical basis will be provided for any deviation from ACI 349.3R-02 acceptance criteria.

7 Corrective Actions Results that do not meet the acceptance criteria are addressed by the sites corrective action program (CAP) in accordance with the ISFSI Quality Assurance (QA) program. The sites QA Program ensures that corrective actions are completed within the ISFSI Corrective Action Program (CAP) and include any necessary functionality assessments, cause evaluations, extent of condition, actions, identify any modifications to the existing AMP (e.g. increased frequency), and determine if the condition is reportable per 10 CFR 72.75.

8 Confirmation The confirmation process will be commensurate with the ISFSI QA Process Program. The QA program ensures that the confirmation process includes provisions to preclude repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality and the completion of inspections, evaluations, and corrective actions.

9 Administrative The ISFSI QA program ensures that administrative controls include Controls provisions that address instrument calibration and maintenance, inspector requirements, record retention requirements, and document control.

10 Operating Previous operating experience for the W150 Storage Cask indicates very Experience minimal degradation detected to date, mostly limited to concrete bug hole and grout degradation. That operating experience has been incorporated into the guidance on inspections and acceptance criteria contained in this AMP.

A renewal application pre-submittal inspection 12 was performed on the FuelSolutions storage cask at Big Rock Point in July 23, 2019. Three separate tasks were completed consisting of a video inspection of the accessible area in the annulus between the cask and canister; a visual inspection of the cask interior and visual inspection of the cask storage pad. A representative canister and storage cask were selected by Entergy based on increased susceptibility for moisture intrusion and corrosion.

Heat loads at the time of loading all of the canisters at Big Rock Point were within 0.5 kW of each other, and all storage casks were placed into service within months of each other (as noted, between November 2002 and May 2003). The inspection revealed some minor observations; however, no structural deficiencies were identified and all parts continue to perform their design function.

NRC Region III Inspectors reviewed [Insp Rpt]. 13the previous five-year cask inspection documentation for Big Rock Point storage cask number 7 that included both pictures and video of the interior of the cask and did not identify any findings of significance.

As storage cask inspections are performed in the future, inspection results will be uploaded into the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID) to be shared with other users.

FuelSolutions Storage System FSAR Document No. WSNF-220 Docket No. 72-1026 9.A.2 Tollgates As noted in NUREG-1927 "Standard Review Plan for Renewal of Specific Licenses and Certificates of Compliance for Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel," Revision 1, the guidance was developed by the NRC as an ongoing effort (and as of this CoC renewal application, still is) with efforts by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to develop guidance for the nuclear industry when preparing CoC renewal applications. NEI 14-03, Revision 1, Format, Content and Implementation Guidance for Dry Cask Storage Operations-Based Aging Management, included guidance on the continued evaluation of operating experience. One of the principles introduced in NEI 14-03 is the use of tollgates as a structured approach for assessing operating experience and data from applicable research and industry initiatives. NUREG-1927, Revision 1, Section 3.6.1.10, provides the associated guidance that may be used for CoC renewals.

NEI 14-03 provides a proposed framework for learning AMPs through the use of tollgates and defines tollgates as periodic points within the period of extended operation when licensees would be required to evaluate aggregate feedback and perform and document a safety assessment that confirms the safe storage of spent fuel. Tollgates are described as an additional set of in-service assessments beyond the normal continual assessment of operating experience, research, monitoring, and inspections on DSS component and ISFSI SSC performance that is part of normal ISFSI operations for licensees during the initial storage period as well as the period of extended operation.

In addition, NEI 14-03, Revision 1, also describes a framework for the aggregation and dissemination of operating experience across the industry through the use of an aging-related operating experience clearinghouse, titled the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID).Aggregate feedback will be assessed by each licensee regarding ISFSI components and if necessary, take actions to:

  • Modify monitoring and inspection programs in AMPs
  • Perform mitigation Tollgate assessment address the following elements as applicable:

Frequency:

  • Established from technical basis
  • Reflects aging mechanism initiation and rate of progression
  • Reflects risk significance
  • Considers findings from prior tollgate assessments Content of tollgate assessment:
  • Summary of research findings, operating experience, monitoring data, and inspection results
  • Aggregate impact of findings (including trends)
  • Consistency with the assumptions and inputs the TLAAs
  • Effectiveness of AMPs
  • Corrective actions, including changes to AMPs
  • Summary and conclusions A schedule for these tollgate assessments is shown in Table 9A.2-1.

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 stresses in the W2 l suppo1t rod tlu eads due to nonnal thennal conditions are lower than the con-esponding Service Level A allowable prima1y membrane stress intensities.

In addition to the stress evaluation described above, the suppo1t sleeve axial compressive stresses due to nonnal thennal conditions are combined with the maximum suppo1t sleeves stressed due to dead weight and nonnal handling and evaluated for buckling in accordance with NUREG/ CR-6322, as discussed in Section 3.5.5.2.

3.5.1.3.4 Guide Tubes As shown in Section 3.5.1.2.2, the W21 guide tubes expand freely within the basket assembly and canister shell under all conditions. Therefore, thennal loading does not result in any stress in the W21 guide tubes.

3.5.1.4 Fatigue Evaluation 3.5.1.4.1 Shell Assembly The canister confinement components, consisting of the cylindrical shell, top inner and outer closure plates, the bottom closure, and closure welds, are evaluated in accordance with the requirements ofNB-3222.4(d) . Specifically, the six criteria ofNB-3222.4(d) are evaluated to demonstrate that a detailed analysis of the W21 canister shell for cyclical service is not required.

These crite1ia are discussed below .

l . Atmospheric to Se111ice Pressure Cycle: The maximum number of pressure cycles associated with sta1tup and shutdown is limited to 30,000 for the W2 1 canister shell, based on the fatigue cmv e from Figure 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code for 3Sm = 51 ksi, where the lower bound value of Sm is conse1v atively taken as 17 ksi for the W2 l T canister shell Type 304 material design temperature of 550°F. Th e canister nonnal se1v ice includes one vacuum d1y ing operation and one helium fill after closure. All other pressure fluctuations during storage are due to changes in atmosp heric conditions. Hence, the canister is never cycled back to the atmospheric pressure during nonnal se1v ice.

Therefore, the first criterion is satisfied .

2. Normal Service Pressure Fluctuation: The total number of pressure cycles is less than 106 because the pressure cycles only occur due to changes in the ambient temperature (assuming one cycle a day, obtain l x365x l00 =36,500 over the lifetime) . As specified in this criterion, the value ofS is detennined for 106 cycles and is 28.3 ksi from Figure 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code. The design pressure is 10 psig. Therefore, the cut-off for the significant pressure fluctuation is :

As shown in Chapter 4, the W21 canister shell internal pressure ranges from a minimum of 6 psig to a maximum of 10 psig for nonnal conditions. Hence, no significant pressure fluctuations are expected during storage. Therefore, the second criterion is satisfied.

ENERGYSOLUTIONS 3 .5-1 0 Revision 5 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 3 . Temperature Difference - Startup and Shutdown : The temperature difference between any two adjacent points on the canister shell during startup and shutdown is limited to:

s.7 /2Ea = 1289°F where Sa is detennined to be 708 ksi from Figure 1-9.2.1, conservatively based on 10 sta1tup-shutdown cy cles, and the values ofE and a are conse1v atively taken as 28.9(10)6 psi and 9.5(10Y6 in/in/°F, respectively. Since the temperature difference between any two points in the canister never approaches this quantity, the third criterion is clearly satisfied .

4. Temperature Difference - Normal Se,., *ice: As detennined in (2) above, the value of Sis 28.3 ksi. The significant temperature fluctuation is detennined as:

The non nal se1v ice in this criterion does not include sta1tups and shutdowns, hence, the only temperature variations are due to changes in the amb ient conditions. As shown in Table 3 .5-2, the temperature difference between any two points in the canister shell does not change significantly from nonnal cold to nonnal hot condition. Temperatures at all points drop unifonnly by approximately 11 0°F. Therefore, there are no significant variations in the temperature gradient during nonnal serv ice and the fomth criterion is satisfied.

5. Temperature Difference - Dissimilar Materials: The canister shell confinement components are fabric ated entirely of Type 304 (W21 T) or Type 316 (W21M) stainless steel. Hence, no dissimilar materials are used. Therefore, the fifth criterion is satisfied.
6. Mechanical Loads: The only significant mechanical loads during the canister se1v ice are those due to lifting and transfers. Conse1v atively estimating the number of these load fluctuations as 100, the Sa value is found to be 261 ksi (Table 1-9. 1 of the ASME Code).

The mechanical loads do not exceed this value and, therefore, the sixth criterion is satisfied.

ore, fatigue is not a concern for the W21 canister shell assembly confinement bounda1y 3.5.1.4.2 The canister basket assem components, consisting of the guide tubes, suppo1t rods, supp01t sleeves, and spacer plates are e ated in accordance with NG-3222.4(d) for fatigue. In accordance with NG-3222.4(d), these nponents do not need a detailed fatigue evaluation if the four specified criteria are satisfied . These c *teria are discussed below .

The above shell assembly fatigue criteria are satisfied for the 60-year service period and for the 100-year service life.

excluding the stainless steel spacer plates. is limited to:

where Sa is determined to be 400 ksi from Figures 1-9.1 and 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code.

conservatively based on 10 startup-shutdo~n cycles. and the values of E and a are conse1va tively taken as 30(10)6 psi and 9. 8(10)-6 in/in/°F, respectively.

As sho\,n in Chapter 4, the temperature difference within any basket component does not exceed 400°F. All of these values are below 680°F. Therefore, the first criterion is satisfied.

2. Temperature Difference - Normal Se1, *ice: The conservative value of S for 106 cycles is 12 ksi (Figures 1-9. 1 and 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code). The significant temperature fluctuation for all W21 basket assembly components except the stainless steel spacer plates is:

As sho\,n in Chapter 4, the temperature difference between any two points in the W21 basket assembly does not change significantly from nonnal cold to nonnal hot condition.

The largest temperature difference within the W2 l basket assembly occurs in the spacer plates. As shown in Section 4.4. the difference in the maximum spacer plate gradient for normal hot storage and nonnal cold storage is less than 20°F. Therefore, there are no significant variations in the temperature gradient during n01mal sen*ice. The second criterion is satisfied.

3. Temperature Difference - Dissimilar Materials: The cut-off value for significant temperanire flucniations in the W21M basket is detennined as:

where S = 12 ksi (from (2) above). and values for E and a are taken from Section 3.3.1 for the basket assembly material with the highest coefficient ofthemral expansion (e.g., SA-240, Type 316 stainless steel) and the lowest coefficient ofthennal expansion (e.g., SA-517, Grade P carbon steel) at the mean basket temperature of 600°F.

Sinli.larly. for the W2 l T basket assembly. the significant temperature flucniation is:

ENERGYSOLUTIONS' 3.5-12 Revision 5 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 where S = 12 ksi (from (2) above), and values for E and a are taken from Section 3 .3.1 for the basket assembly material with the highest coefficient ofthennal expansion (e.g., SA-517, Grade P carbon steel) and the lowest coefficient of thennal expansion (e.g., SA-564, Grade 630 precipitation hardened stainless steel) at the mean basket temperature of 600°F, excluding the guide tubes since they expand freely within the basket assembly.

As shown in Section 4.4, the temperature fluctuation between nonnal cold storage and nonnal hot storage conditions is approximately 100°F. Therefore, only a ve1y few significant temperature fluctuations per year are possible. Assuming the number of 10 per year and a canister lifetime of 100 years, there are 1000 significant temperature fluctuations over the life of the canister. The lower bound value of Sa is 78 ksi (Table 1-9.1 of the ASME Code). The resulting allowable temperature range for all W21 basket assembly components except the stainless steel spacer plate is:

This value is higher than the temperature difference in the basket during nonnal service.

Therefore, the third criterion is satisfied.

4. Mechanical Loads: The only significant mechanical loads during the canister service are those due to transfers. Conservatively estimating the number of these load fluctuations as 100, the Sa value is found to be 175 ksi (Table 1-9.1 of the ASME Code). The basket assembly stresses due to nonnal transfer loads do not exceed this value and, therefore, the fomth criterion is satisfied.
  • oue is not a concern for the W21 basket assembly structural components.

The above basket assembly fa t ig ue criteria are satisfied for t he 60-year service period and for t he 100-year service life.

The canister shell assembly is evaluated for internal pressure loads associated with canister loading operations (draining internal pressure) and nonnal on-site transpo1t and storage conditions. These conditions are described and evaluated in the following sections.

3.5.2.1 Canister Draining Internal Pressure After installation of the inner closure plate, a compressed gas pressure of 30 psig is applied to the canister cavity to speed the water draining process during canister closure operations, thus minimizing the personnel dose. The automated canister welder/opener and auxilia1y shield plate, described in Section 1. 2.1.4 .1 of the FuelSolutionsTM Storage System FSAR, are attached to the inner closure plate and a strongback is installed on the transfer cask top flange, as shown in Figure 1.2-14 of the FuelSolutions' Storage System FSAR. The strongback and auxilia1y shield plate provide structural support for the canister top inner closure plate and assure that no

~

ENERGYSOLUTIONS 3 .5-13 Revision 5 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 The factors that primarily affect the reactivity of the FuelSolutionsn,i canister system are radiative neutron absorption and fuel assembly separation. The parameters that affect radiative neutron absorption are the neutron absorber panel thickness, the guide tube wall thickness, and the spacer plate thickness. The parameters that affect fuel assembly separation include: fuel assembly location; spacer plate opening size and location; and guide tube inside width. With the exception of the accident induced guide tube defonnation and axial detachment, tolerances are applied in the nonnal conditions model consistent with the description provided in Section 6.3.1. 1 for accident conditions.

6.3.2 Material Properties The number densities used to model moderator materials and the FuelSolntions*11-,1 W21 canister basket, shell and reflector materials are presented in Table 6.3-2 through Table 6.3-11 . These material properties are used in all FuelSolutionsn,i W21 canister single package and multiple package all'ay models.

The FuelSolutions' W21 canister basket inco1vorates panels ofBORAL neutron-absorbing material. BORAL is a thennal neutron absorber (poison) material composed of boron carbide and 1100 alloy aluminum. The boron carbide, in the fonn of fine pa1ticles, is homogeneously dispersed throughout the central layer of the BORAL panels. The outer layers of the panel are composed of 1100 alloy aluminum. The two materials, boron carbide and aluminum, are ideally suited for long-tenn use in diy storage cask radiation and thennal environments. Aluminum contact with borated pool water during sh01t-tenn wet loading operations in PWR spent fuel pools is prevented by sealing the panels in stainless steel guide tube wrappers. BORAL is manufactured by AAR Advanced Stmctures under the control and surveillance of a Quality AssurecVQuality Control Program that confonns to the requirements of 10CFR50 Appendix B, "Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants." Additional product literature for this material is provided in Section 1.5.2 of this FSAR.

The continued efficacy ofBORAL is demonstrated by the process controls under which the material is manufactured and verified. These controls assure a homogeneous dispersion of boron throughout the material. In addition, the effects of long-tenn exposure to neutron flux from ill'adiated fuel is negligible because the thennal neutron flux during d1y storage is low. This fact, coupled with the use of the minimum specified boron concentration ftuther reduced by 25%,

more than accounts for any boron depletion which may occur over the 100-year design life of the FuelSolutions*11-,1 W21 canister.

The neutron shield region of them deled transportation cask geometiy contains NS-4-FR neutron shielding material, at a volm e fraction of94.2%, stainless steel 304 backing bars at a volume fraction of2.6%, and pure cop er fins at a volume fraction of3 .2% . These components are mixed into a homogenous material tlr t fills the neutron shield region in the criticality analyses. Table 6.3-11 gives the material scription for pure NS-4-FR neutron shield material.

The densities shown in the table are multiph d by 0.942 to yield the densities present in the homogenous mixture. The stainless steel 304 om densities show11 in Table 6.3-5 are multiplied by 0.026 and added to the mixture. Finally, the om density of pure copper (0.08493 atoms/barn-cm) is multiplied by 0.032 a d added to the mixture.

The boron depletion evaluation demonst rates t hat boron deplet ion levels are acceptable for t he 60-year service period and for t he 100-year design life.

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 9.2 Maintenance Program This section discusses the maintenance program for the FuelSolutionsTM W21 canister, which is classified as important to safety. Noncompliances encountered during the required maintenance activities will be dispositioned in accordance with the EnergySolutions SFD Quality Assurance program, discussed in Chapter 13 of the FuelSolutionsTM Storage System FSAR, or the licensee's NRC-approved Quality Assurance program. The maintenance program is intended to demonstrate that the FuelSolutionsTM W21 canister continues to perfon n properly and complies with regulato1y requirements and the technical specifications contained in Chapter 12 of this FSAR and the FuelSolutions' Storage System FSAR.

The FuelSolutionsTM W21 canister relies on no mechanical components or moving pa1ts once in its storage configuration. Exposed materials are co1rnsion-resistant stainless steel. No inspection of a loaded canister during storage is required due to the integrity of the canister, as verified during fabrication, acceptance testing, and canister closure. Periodic monitoring of the FuelSolutions' storage cask, in accordance with the technical specification contained in Section 12.3 of this FSAR, provides added assurance that fuel cladding degradation does not occur. Thus, no prescribed maintenance program is necessa1y during the 100-year design life of the FuelSolutionsTM W21 canister.

Element Description 1 Scope of This program manages the effects of aging for the surfaces of welded stainless Program steel canisters that are directly exposed the sheltered. The scope of the program includes the following canister sub-components:

  • Shell
  • Bottom closure plate
  • Shell extension
  • Bottom end plate
  • Top outer closure plate
  • Leak test port cover The following aging effects are addressed in this program:
  • Loss of material (precursor to stress corrosion cracking) due to pitting and crevice corrosion Examinations are performed of the accessible portions of the welded stainless steel dry storage canister confinement boundary external surfaces for atmospheric deposits, localized corrosion, and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC).

In particular, examinations focus on accessible canister welds, weld heat-affected-zone areas, and known areas of the canister to which temporary supports or attachments were attached by welding and subsequently removed (based on available fabrication records) with the following attributes:

  • Locations where a crevice is formed on the canister surface
  • Horizontal (+/-30-degree) surfaces where deposits may accumulate at a faster rate compared to vertical surfaces
  • Canister surfaces that are cold relative to the average surface temperature
  • Canister surfaces with higher amounts of atmospheric deposits Examinations can be performed in coordination of the ASME Section XI code inspections provided in Code Case N860, Examination Requirements and Acceptance Standards for Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation Containment Systems.

2 Preventive Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects. During fabrication of Actions the canisters, however, preventative actions were used to minimize corrosion and stress corrosion cracking by selection of stainless steel materials. In addition, fabrication controls were in place during canister fabrication to support improved canister corrosion resistance. Although these preventative actions minimize the likelihood of aging effects, they cannot replace condition monitoring during the storage period. As this AMP is based on condition monitoring, new preventative actions are not included.

  • The size and location of localized corrosion or stress corrosion cracks
  • The inspections also look for the appearance and location of deposits on the canister surfaces.

4 Detection of Visual inspection of the canister surface is to be performed per ASME Code Aging Effects Section XI, Article IWA-2200 for VT-3 examinations utilizing a videoscope (or equivalent technology) device for the accessible areas of the canister surface since direct visual examination may not be possible due to neutron and gamma radiation fields near canister surfaces within the storage cask.

Additional assessments are to be performed as necessary for suspected areas of localized corrosion and SCC. VT-1 visual examinations are performed per acceptance criteria when indicated by the assessment of the VT-3 results.

Indications of corrosion within 2 inches of a weld are to receive an augmented surface examination for the presence of cracking.

Volumetric examination consistent with the requirements of ASME Code Section XI, IWB-2500, for category B-J components may also be utilized to assess the presence of cracking. Inspection of selected areas on the canister may be upgraded to the VT-1 standard.

The inspection is to be performed on a minimum of one canister at each ISFSI based on the following criteria:

  • EPRI Susceptibility Criteria {Ref: Technical Report 3002005371}
  • Age of the Canister
  • Canister loaded with Lowest Heat Load
  • Canisters with the greatest potential for the accumulation and deliquescence of deposited salts that may promote localized corrosion and greatest potential for the accumulation and deliquescence of deposited salts that may promote localized corrosion and SCC
  • Where applicable, canister with previously identified manufacturing deviations which may affect the surface.

Inspections are to be performed by qualified individual(s) every 5 years (+/- 25%)

starting with the first inspection performed within either the later of one (1) year of the initial canisters 20th year loading anniversary or within one year from the issuance of first renewal of the CoC. If possible, examinations should occur on the same canister to support trending.

Element Description repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality and the completion of inspections, evaluations, and corrective actions.

9 Administrative The site QA program ensures that administrative controls include provisions that Controls address instrument calibration and maintenance, inspector requirements, record retention requirements, and document control.

Administrative controls also address the frequency for updating the AMP based on inspection results along with industry operating experience. This AMP will be updated as necessary based on tollgate assessments.

10 Operating Previous operating experience for the W74 Canister indicates very minimal Experience corrosion detected to date. That operating experience has been incorporated into the guidance on inspections and acceptance criteria contained in this AMP.

A renewal application re-submittal inspection was performed on the W74 system at Big Rock Point in July 2019. 16 Three separate tasks were completed consisting of a video inspection of the accessible area in the annulus between the cask and canister; a visual inspection of the cask interior and visual inspection of the cask storage pad. A representative canister and storage cask were selected by Entergy based on increased susceptibility for moisture intrusion and corrosion. Heat loads at the time of loading all of the canisters at Big Rock Point were within 0.5 kW of each other, and all storage casks were placed into service within months of each other (between November 2002 and May 2003). The inspection revealed some minor observations; however, no structural deficiencies were identified, and all parts continue to perform their design function.

Surface rust was observed (Cask Serial Number W150-610-NMC) on washers under the nut on the tie rods (minimal depth) causing discoloration in the bearing plate and nut. Both these components are stainless steel and are not in danger of corroding.

NRC Region III Inspectors 17 reviewed the previous five-year cask inspection documentation for Big Rock Point storage cask number 7 that included both pictures and video of the interior of the cask and did not identify any findings of significance.

As canister inspections are performed in the future, inspection results will be uploaded into the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID) to be shared with other users.

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 Table 9.A.1-5 FuelSolutions W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (3 pages)

Element Description 1 Scope of The FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage system is approved for high burnup fuel up to Program 60,000 MWd/MTU. SNF assemblies stored in FuelSolutions W21 canisters are limited to intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. SNF is initially stored in a dry high purity helium environment. SNF assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 60 GWd/MTU), are limited to cladding oxide thickness of 70 m. It should be noted that as of the submittal of this renewal application for CoC 1026, no high burnup fuel assemblies have been loaded in a FuelSolutions W21 Canister.

The scope of this Aging Management Program (AMP) covers the FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage system with high burn up fuel to operate through the extended storage period.

The program relies on the joint EPRI and DOE High Burnup Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project (HDRP) conducted in accordance with the guidance in Appendix D of NUREG-1927, Rev 1, as a surrogate demonstration program that monitors the performance of high burnup fuel in dry storage.

The HDRP is a program designed to collect data from a SNF storage system containing high burnup fuel in a dry helium environment. The program entails loading and storing a bolted lid cask (the Research Project Cask), with intact high burnup fuel of nominal burnups between 50 GWd/MTU and 55 GWd/MTU). The fuel to be used in the program includes four kinds of zirconium based cladding. The Research Project Cask is licensed to the temperature limits contained in ISG-11 Rev 3, and loaded such that the fuel cladding temperature is as close to the limit as practicable.

The parameters of the surrogate demonstration program are applicable to the FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage system high burnup fuel, since the maximum system burnup limit, (60,000 MWd/MTU) is on the order of those being tested, the cladding is of the same type as those being tested, and the temperature limits of the fuel are the same as those being tested .

2 Preventive During initial loading operations of the FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Actions Specification 3.1.2 Canister Vacuum Drying Pressure specifies The CANISTER cavity vacuum pressure following drying shall be 3 torr, maintained for at least 30 minutes. FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 3.1.1 W21 Canister Helium Backfill Density specify the canister helium backfill density range and completion time. In addition, FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 5.3.6 Vacuum Drying Program delineates the controls to assure that the spent fuel cladding does not exceed the temperature limit during loading operations.

FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 5.3.7 Cladding Oxide Thickness Measurement Program denotes controls to verify cladding oxide layer thickness for fuel assemblies to be stored.

These requirements ensure that the high burnup fuel is stored in an inert environment, preventing cladding degradation due to oxidation mechanisms. In addition, fuel meets the guidance for temperature criteria noted in ISG-11, which minimizes the impacts of

Element Description degradation mechanisms on the fuel. Refer to FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage System FSAR Section 4.3.2 Fuel Cladding Allowable Temperatures regarding established conservatism meeting the guidance of ISG-11, Rev 3. There are no additional specific preventative actions included as part of the AMP.

3 Parameters The parameters monitored and inspected are as those described in the HDRP.

Monitored or Inspected 4 Detection of This AMP utilizes the surrogate demonstration program, HDRP, to monitor Aging Effects performance of high burnup fuel and detect aging effects as described in the HDRP for high burnup fuel. FuelSolutions W21 Canisters Technical Specification 5.3.6 Vacuum Drying Program delineates the controls for fuel temperature limits to prevent degradation.

5 Monitoring As information / data from the HDRP or from other sources (such as testing or and Trending research results and scientific analyses) become available, the licensee will monitor, evaluate, and trend the information via its operating experience program and /or corrective action program to determine what actions should be taken.

The licensee will evaluate the information / data from the HDRP to determine whether the acceptance criteria in Element 6 of this AMP are met.

  • If all of the acceptance criteria are met, no further assessment is needed.
  • If any of the acceptance criteria are not met, the licensee must conduct additional assessments and implement appropriate corrective actions (see Element 7 of this AMP).

Formal evaluations of the aggregate information from the HDRP, available operating experience, NRC-generated communications, and other information will be performed as required. Refer to Chapter 4, Aging Management Tollgates.

6 Acceptance The following criteria are to be addressed against the information obtained from the Criteria HDRP. The criteria are:

  • Hydrogen content - Maximum hydrogen content of the cover gas over the approved storage period should be extrapolated from the gas measurements to be less than the design-bases limit for hydrogen content
  • Moisture content - the moisture content in the canister, accounting for measurement uncertainty should be less than the expected upper-bound moisture content per the design-bases drying process
  • Fuel condition / performance - nondestructive and destructive examinations should confirm the design-bases fuel condition (i.e., no changes to the analyzed fuel configuration considered in the safety analyses of the approved design bases)

FuelSolutions W21Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-221 Docket No. 72-1026 Table 9.A.1-5 FuelSolutions W21 Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (3 pages)

Element Description The design-bases characteristics of the FuelSolutions W21 Canister system and high burnup fuel parameters are addressed in the FuelSolutions W21 Canister Storage FSAR Section 4.3.1 W21 Canister. It should be noted that Westinghouse Electric Company was initially involved in developing mathematical correlations based on this test data used for development of a creep-based methodology for the determination of allowable peak cladding temperature during dry storage as well as addressing cladding creep correlation presented in WCAP-15168 18.

Note that because the cask design to be used in the HDRP is different from the FuelSolutions W21 Canister system, the acceptance criteria will be based on the Research Project Cask design bases. If the fuel in the Research Project Cask meets the applicable design bases, the fuel in the FuelSolutions W21 Canisters storage system should also meet its design bases, as described in Element 1.

7 Corrective The corrective actions are implemented in accordance with the licensee's NRC Actions approved QA program. If the acceptance criteria are not met, the issue will be entered into the licensee corrective action program to assess fuel performance, assess the design-bases safety analyses, consider degraded fuel performance and determine the ability of the system to continue to perform its intended functions. The corrective action program will identify necessary actions, changes to the existing AMP and determine if the condition is reportable.

In addition, the licensee will obtain the necessary NRC approval in the appropriate licensing / certification process for modification of the design bases to address any conditions outside of the approved design bases.

8 Confirmation The confirmation process is commensurate with the licensee's NRC approved QA Process program. The QA program ensures that required corrective actions are completed and effective in accordance with the program to preclude repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality.

9 Administrative Administrative controls are in accordance with the QA program and include a formal Controls review and approval processes, document control and record retention requirements.

This AMP will be updated as necessary based on tollgate assessments.

10 Operating As the program continues, operating experience will be evaluated including:

Conse1,;atively assuming this stress occurs in the weld, the minimum design margin for the har1dle attachment weld is +0.27.

The stresses in the damaged fuel car1 top lid assembly base plate due to the vertical lift condition ar*e evaluated using the 1/4-symmetry finite element model shown in Figure 3.4-1. The base plate is modeled using elastic shell elements (SHELL63) with a 3/8-inch unifom1 thickness. The slotted holes that acconunodate the engagement hardware are included in the model. Symmet1y bounda1y conditions ar*e applied at the two planes of symmetiy. as shown in Figure 3 .4-1 . In addition, the nodes at the location of the handle ar*e restrained in the ve1tical direction (i.e ..

UZ=0).

The loads applied to the model are detennined based on a bounding weight of720 pollllds for the BRP fuel assembly and the damaged fuel can. Each attachment dog supports one fourth of the total design load. or 180 pounds. The loads applied to the finite element model are detennined assuming that the attachment dog behaves as a rigid beam.

A free body diagram of the attachment dog for the vertical lift condition is shown in Figure 3.4-2. Based upon the principal of static equilibrium, the reaction loads R 1 and R2 are detennined to be +285 pounds (upward) and - 105 pounds (downwar*d). respectively. The reaction load at the outside attachment bolt (i.e., R1) is applied to the nodes around the perimeter of the slotted hole at the outside end, as shown in Figure 3 .4-1. The reaction load at the inner end of the attachment dog (i.e .. R2) is applied to the base plate nodes con-esponding to the end of the attachment dog \.Yhen in the extended positioIL as shown in Figure 3.4-1.

As shown in Figure 3.4-3. the results of the finite element evaluation show that the maximtun stresses in the top lid assembly base plate occur in the region at the comer of the rectangular*

cutout. The maximum general primary membrane (Pm). primary membrane plus bending (PL+Pb), and primary plus secondary (PL+Pb+Q) stress intensities ar*e 10.4 ksi. 17 .5 ksi. and 28.8 ksi, respectively. The con-esponding Sep;ice Level A general prima1y membrane. prima1y membrane plus bending, and primary plus secondary sti*ess intensities for SA-240.Type 31 6 stainless steel at 700°F are 16.3 ksi, 24.5 ksi, and 48.9 ksi. respectively. Therefore. the minimum design margin in the top lid assembly base plate for the vertical lift condition is +0.40. due to primary membrane plus bending.

FuelSolutions W74 Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-223 Docket No. 72-1026 calculations. The weld stress evaluation addresses thermal stresses due to differential thermal expansion of dissimilar materials and thennal gradients within the basket assembly.

As discussed aboYe, differential the1mal expansion of the W74M basket assembly due to nonnal thermal conditions results in an axial load of24.2 kips. The resulting average shear stress in the LTP spacer plate attachment weld is 1.5 ksi.. Additional shear stresses occur in these welds due to the moment reaction resulting from the1111al cruvature of the support nibes. As discussed in Section 3.5.1.3.2. the maxi.mum moment reaction at the LTP spacer plate attachment weld resulting from thennal cmvature of the suppo11 tubes is 18.7 in-kips. The moment reaction is can-ied in shear through the weld. resulting in a maximum weld shear stress of 0.4 ksi.. Therefore, the combined shear stress in the weld is 1.9 ksi.. The co!l'esponding Service Level A allowable average shear stress is 6.9 ksi., based on SA-240. Type XM-19 stainless steel material prope11ies at 700°F and including a 40% weld efficiency factor for single groove weld with smface PT examination in accordance with Table ~G-3352-1 of the ASME Code. Therefore, the minimum design margin for shear stress in the W74M LTP spacer plate attachment weld due to nonnal thermal loading is +2.70.

3.5.1.3.5 Guide Tubes As show*n in Section 3.5.1.2.2, the W74 guide nibes expand freely under all no1mal the1mal conditions. Consequently, no significant thennal stresses occur in the W74 guide tubes as a result of nonnal the1111al loading.

3.5.1.4 Fatigue Evaluation 3.5.1.4.1 Shell Assembly The canister confinement components. consisting of the cylind1-ical shell, top inner and outer closure plates. and bottom closure plate. are evaluated in accordance with the requirements of NB-3222.4(d). Specifically. the six c1-iteri.a ofNB-3222.4(d) are evaluated to demonstrate that a detailed analysis of the W74 canister shell for cyclical se1vi.ce is not required. These c1-iteria are discussed below.

l . Atmospheric to Senice Pressure Cycle: The maxi.mum number of pressure cycles associated with startup and shutdo,\'11 is linuted to 30,000 for the W74 canister shell, based on the fatigue cmve from Figure I-9 .2 .1 of the ASME Code for 3 Sm = 51 ksi..

where the lower bound value of Sm is conse1vati.vely taken as 17 ksi. for the W74T ca11ister shell Type 304 material design temperature of 550°F. The canister normal se1vi.ce includes one vacmun diying operation and one helium fill after closure. All other pressure fluctuations during storage are due to changes in atmospheric conditions. Hence.

the canister is never cycled back to the atmospheric pressure during no1mal service.

Therefore. the first criterion is satisfied.

2. Normal Se,,,ice Pressure Fluctuation: The total number of pressure cycles is less than 106 because the pressure cycles only occur due to changes in the ambient temperature (assunung one cycle a day. obtain l x365x l00 =36.500 over the lifetime). As specified in this c1-iteri.on, the value ofS is dete1mined for 106 cycles and is 28 .3 ksi. from Figure I-9.2.1 of the ASME Code. The design pressure is 10 psig. Therefore. the cut-off for the significant pressure flucniati.on is

FuelSolutions W74 Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-223 Docket No. 72-1026 As shovm in Table 4.4-4, the W74 canister shell internal pressure ranges from a minimtun of 6 psig to a maximum of 10 psig for nonnal conditions. Hence, no significant pressure fluctuations are expected during storage. Therefore. the second criterion is satisfied.

3. Temperature Difference - Startup and Sh11td01rn: The temperature difference between any two adjacent points on the canister shell during startup and shutdown is limited to:

s.12Ea

/ = L289°F where Sa is detem1ined to be 708 ksi from Figure 1-9.2.1. conservatively based on 10 startup-shutdown cycles, and the values ofE and a are conservatively taken as 28.9(10)6 psi and 9.5(10)-6 in/in/°F, respectively. Since the temperature difference betv,een any two points in the canister never approaches this quantity. the third criterion is clearly satisfied.

4. Temperature Difference - Normal Seri-ice: As determined .u1 (2) above. the value of S is 28.3 ksi . Tue significant temperature fluctuation is detemlined as:

Tue nonnal service in tllis criterion does not include startups and shutdowns. hence, the only temperature. variations are due to changes in the ambient conditions. As sho\:\11 in Table 3.5-2. the temperature difference between any two points in the canister shell does not change sigilificantly from nonnal cold to nonnal hot condition. Temperanu-es at all points drop unifo1mly by approximately 125°F. Therefore, there are no significant variations in the temperature gradient during nonnal seIYice and the fourth criterion is satisfied.

5. Temperature Difference- Dissimilar Materials: The ca1lister shell confinement components are fabricated entirely of Type 304 (W74T) or Type 316 (W74M) stainless steel. Hence. no dissinlilar materials are used. Therefore. the fifth criterion is satisfied.
6. Mechanical Loads: The only significant mecha1lical loads during the canister service are those due to lifting and transfers. Conservatively estimating the number of these load fluctuations as 100, the Sa value is found to be 261 ksi (Table 1-9.1 of the ASME Code).

Tue mechanical loads do not exceed tllis value and. therefore. t11e sixth criterion is satisfied.

erefore. fatigue is not a concern for the canister pressure bounda1y components.

The above shel l assembly fatigue criteria are sat isfied for t he 60-year service period and for t he 100-year service life.

LTP spacer plates, and engagement spacer plate are evaluated in accordance with NG-3222.4(d) for fatigue. Per NG-3222.4(d) . these components do not need a detailed fatigue evaluation if the four specified criteria are satisfied. These criteria are discussed below .

1. Temperature Difference - Startup and Sh11td01rn: The temperature difference between any two adjacent points on the canister basket assembly during staitup and shutdown is limited to:

where Sa is determined to be 400 ksi from Figures 1-9.1 and 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code.

conservatively based on 10 sta1tup-shutdown cycles, and the values ofE and a are conservatively taken as 30(10)6 psi and 9.8(10Y6 in/in/°F, respectively.

As shown in Chapter 4. the axial temperature difference within any basket component does not exceed 400°F and the radial temperature difference within any basket spacer disk does not exceed 350°F. All of these values are below 680°F. Therefore. the first criterion is satisfied.

2. Temperature Difference - Nonna/ Ser,'ice: The conservatiYe value of S for 106 cycles is 12 ksi (Figures 1-9. 1 and 1-9.2.1 of the ASME Code) . The significant temperature fluctuation is:

As shown in Chapter 4. the temperature difference betw een any two points in the h1bes does not change significantly from normal cold to n01mal hot condition. Temperatures at all points drop uniformly by approximately 100°F. Therefore, there are no significant variations in the temperature gradient during normal service. The second criterion is satisfied.

FuelSolutions W74 Canister FSAR Document No. WSNF-223 Docket No. 72-1026 As shown in Table 4.4-3. the temperature fluctuation between nonnal cold and nonnal hot conditions is approximately 100°F. Therefore. only a very few significant temperature fluctuations per year are possible. Assuming the munber of 10 per year and a canister lifetime of 100 years, there are 1000 significant temperature fluctuations over the life of the t.:auisler. The lowt:r botm<l \'alue of Sa is 78 ksi (Table I-9 .1 of the ASME Code). The resulting allowable temperature range is:

This value is higher than the temperanu-e difference between any two components in the basket during nonnal ser,;ice. Therefore. the third criterion is satisfied.

4. Mechanical Loads: The only significant mechanical loads dtu-ing the canister se1v ice are those due to transfers. Conse1v atively estimating the number of these load fluctuations as 100. the Sa value is found to be 175 ksi (Table I-9.1 of the ASME Code). The mechanical loads do not exceed this Yalue and. therefore, the fourth criterion is satisfied .

~ e is not a concern for the foel basket components.

_____,The above basket assembly fatigue criteria are satisfied for 3.5.2 Internal Pressure the 60-year service period and for t he 100-yea r service life.

The canister shell assembly is eYaluated for internal pressure loads associated with canister loading operations (draining internal pressure) and nonnal on-site transport and storage conditions. These conditions are described and evaluated in the following sections.

As discussed in Chapter 4 of this SAR, the FuelSolutionsrn W74 canister internal pressure design loads for normal conditions bound those for a FuelSolutionsrn W74 canister containing any amount of intact BRP MOX fuel and partial fuel assemblies. and up to eight damaged fuel assemblies. Therefore. the FuelSolutionsrn W74 canister shell assembly and basket assembly stresses calculated for the design basis n01mal internal pressure loads are bounded for a FuelSolutions' W 74 canister containing any amount of intact BRP MOX fuel and partial fuel assemblies. and up to eight damaged fuel assemblies.

3.5.2.1 Canister Draining Internal Pressure After installation of the inner closure plate. a compressed gas pressure of30 psig is applied to the canister cavity to speed the water draining process during canister closure operations, thus minimizing the personnel dose. The automated canister welder/opener and auxiliaiy shield plate, described in Section 1.2.1.4.1 of the FuelSolutions' Storage System SAR, are attached to the inner closure plate and a strongback is installed on the transfer cask top flange. as shown in Figure 1.2-14 of the FuelSolutionsTM Storage System SAR. The strongback ai1d auxilia1y shield plate proYide strnctural suppo11 for the canister top inner closure plate ai1d ensure that no pennanent defonnation of the inner closure plate results from the drainage pressure loading which could potentially interfere with the proper placement and installation of the outer closure plate.

These material properties are used in all FuelSolutions"' W74 canister single package and multiple package an-ay models.

The FuelSolutions"' W74 canister basket incorporates panels of borated stainless steel neutron-absorbing material. The borated stainless steel alloy incorporates a mininmm of 1.25 w eight percent (vd o) natural boron. As discussed at the beginning of Section 6.3 . the MOX and damaged BRP assembly criticality analyses model the above boron concentration of 1.25 w/o.

The intact and partial BRP assembly analyses, however, conservatively model a lower boron concentration of 1.0 w/o. The borated stainless steel material descriptions given in Table 6.3-7 and Table 6.3-13 con-espond to boron concentrations of 1.0 w/o and 1.25 w/o. respectively.

Stainless steel alloys are ideally suited for use in foel pools containing demineralized or borated water, as well as long-te1m dry storage cask radiation and the1mal enviromnents. The borated stainless steel is manufactured and verified under the control and smYeillance of the QA program described in Chapter 13 of the FuelSolutionsTM Storage System FSAR. Product literature for this type of material is proYided in Section 1.5 .2 of this FSAR.

The continued efficacy of borated stainless steel is demonstrated by the process controls under which the material is manufactured and verified which assure a homogeneous dispersion of boron throughout the alloy . In addition. the effects of long-te1m exposure to neutron flux from irradiated fuel is negligible because the thennal neutron flux during dty storage is low . This fact.

coupled with the use of the minimmn boron concentration specified by the material manufacturer (rather than the nominal) further reduced by 25%, more than accotmts for any boron depletion which may occur OYer the 100 year design life of the FuelSolutionsTM W74 canisuter.

The boron depletion evaluation demonstrates that boron depletion levels are acceptable for the 60 year service period and for the 100 year design life.

The FuelSolutionsTM W74 canister and damaged fuel cans rely on no mechanical components or moving parts once in their storage configuration. Exposed materials (damaged fuel cans are completely housed inside W 74 canisters and have no exposed materials) are coffosion-resistant stainless steel. N o inspection of a loaded canister during storage is required due to the integrity of the canister, as ve1-ified during fabrication, acceptance testing, and canister closme. Periodic monitoring of the FuelSolutionsTM storage cask, in accordance with the technical specification contained in Section 12.3 of this FSAR, provides added assurance that fuel cladding degradation does not occm. Thus. no prescribed maintenance program is necessaiy during the 100-year design life of the FuelSolutionsn1 W74 canister or ai1y associated dainage-d fuel cans.

Element Description 1 Scope of This program manages the effects of aging for the surfaces of welded stainless Program steel canisters that are directly exposed the sheltered environment. The scope of the program includes the following canister sub-components:

  • Shell
  • Bottom closure plate
  • Shell extension
  • Bottom end plate
  • Top outer closure plate
  • Leak test port cover The following aging effects are addressed in this program:
  • Loss of material (precursor to stress corrosion cracking) due to pitting and crevice corrosion Examinations are performed of the accessible portions of the welded stainless steel dry storage canister confinement boundary external surfaces for atmospheric deposits, localized corrosion, and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC).

In particular, examinations focus on accessible canister welds, weld heat-affected-zone areas, and known areas of the canister to which temporary supports or attachments were attached by welding and subsequently removed (based on available fabrication records) with the following attributes:

  • Locations where a crevice is formed on the canister surface
  • Horizontal (+/-30-degree) surfaces where deposits may accumulate at a faster rate compared to vertical surfaces
  • Canister surfaces that are cold relative to the average surface temperature
  • Canister surfaces with higher amounts of atmospheric deposits Examinations can be performed in coordination of the ASME Section XI code inspections provided in Code Case N860, Examination Requirements and Acceptance Standards for Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation Containment Systems.

2 Preventive Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects. During fabrication of the Actions canisters, however, preventative actions were used to minimize corrosion and stress corrosion cracking by selection of stainless steel materials. In addition, fabrication controls were in place during canister fabrication to support improved canister corrosion resistance. Although these preventative actions minimize the likelihood of aging effects, they cannot replace condition monitoring during the storage period. As this AMP is based on condition monitoring, new preventative actions are not included.

  • visual inspections to look for evidence of discontinuities and imperfections, Inspected such as localized corrosion, including pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking of the accessible canister welds and weld heat affected zones.
  • The size and location of localized corrosion or stress corrosion cracks
  • The inspections also look for the appearance and location of deposits on the canister surfaces.

4 Detection of Visual inspection of the canister surface is to be performed per ASME Code Aging Effects Section XI, Article IWA-2200 for VT-3 examinations utilizing a videoscope (or equivalent technology) device for the accessible areas of the canister surface since direct visual examination may not be possible due to neutron and gamma radiation fields near canister surfaces within the storage cask.

Additional assessments are to be performed as necessary for suspected areas of localized corrosion and SCC. VT-1 visual examinations are performed per acceptance criteria when indicated by the assessment of the VT-3 results.

Indications of corrosion within 2 inches of a weld are to receive an augmented surface examination for the presence of cracking.

Volumetric examination consistent with the requirements of ASME Code Section XI, IWB-2500, for category B-J components may also be utilized to assess the presence of cracking. Inspection of selected areas on the canister may be upgraded to the VT-1 standard.

The inspection is to be performed on a minimum of one canister at each ISFSI based on the following criteria:

  • EPRI Susceptibility Criteria {Ref: Technical Report 3002005371}
  • Age of the Canister
  • Canister loaded with Lowest Heat Load
  • Canisters with the greatest potential for the accumulation and deliquescence of deposited salts that may promote localized corrosion and greatest potential for the accumulation and deliquescence of deposited salts that may promote localized corrosion and SCC
  • Where applicable, canister with previously identified manufacturing deviations which may affect the surface.

Element Description repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality and the completion of inspections, evaluations, and corrective actions.

9 Administrative The site QA program ensures that administrative controls include provisions that Controls address instrument calibration and maintenance, inspector requirements, record retention requirements, and document control.

Administrative controls also address the frequency for updating the AMP based on inspection results along with industry operating experience. This AMP will be updated as necessary based on tollgate assessments.

10 Operating Previous operating experience for the W74 Canister indicates very minimal Experience corrosion detected to date. That operating experience has been incorporated into the guidance on inspections and acceptance criteria contained in this AMP.

A renewal application re-submittal inspection was performed on the W74 system at Big Rock Point in July 2019. 19 Three separate tasks were completed consisting of a video inspection of the accessible area in the annulus between the cask and canister; a visual inspection of the cask interior and visual inspection of the cask storage pad. A representative canister and storage cask were selected by Entergy based on increased susceptibility for moisture intrusion and corrosion. Heat loads at the time of loading all of the canisters at Big Rock Point were within 0.5 kW of each other, and all storage casks were placed into service within months of each other (between November 2002 and May 2003). The inspection revealed some minor observations; however, no structural deficiencies were identified, and all parts continue to perform their design function.

Surface rust was observed (Cask Serial Number W150-610-NMC) on washers under the nut on the tie rods (minimal depth) causing discoloration in the bearing plate and nut. Both these components are stainless steel and are not in danger of corroding.

NRC Region III Inspectors 20 reviewed the previous five-year cask inspection documentation for Big Rock Point storage cask number 7 that included both pictures and video of the interior of the cask and did not identify any findings of significance.

As canister inspections are performed in the future, inspection results will be uploaded into the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID) to be shared with other users.

Mode l No. : F uelSolut ions"' Storage System The FuelSolutions-,--.,' Storage System (the cask) cons ists of the fol lowing components: (1) canister for dry storage o f spent nuclear fue l (W21 and W74); (2) transfe r cask for canister loading , c losure and han dling capab ility (W 100); and (3) storage cask which provides passive vertica l dry storage o f a loaded can ister (W150) . The cask stores up to 21 pressurized water reactor (PWR) assemb lies or 64 boiling water reactor (B WR) assemb lies.
b. Description The FuelSolutions' Storage System is certified as described in the Safety Ana lysis Report (SAR) and in NRC's Safety Eva luation Report (SER) accompanying the Certificate of Compliance (CoC). The cask comprises three discrete components: the W21 and W74 can isters, the W100 transfer cask, and the W150 storage cask.

The can ister is the confinement system for the stored fuel A ty pica l canister consists of a shell assembly, top and bottom inner closure plates, vent and dra in port covers, internal basket assembly, top and bottom shield plugs, and top and bottom outer closure plates. All structura l components are constructed of high-strength carbon (electroless nicke l coated) or sta inless steel. The canister shell, top and bottom inner closure plates, and the vent and drain port covers form the confinement boundary. The W21 fuel basket is a righ t circu lar cylinder configuration with 2 1 stainless steel guide tubes for the PWR contents.

sides. The W2 1 canister has two classes of canister, W21 Mand W21T, differing in materials of ,

construction used for the canister shell and basket assembly Each class of ca nister has four ~

different types. The W21T ca nister class consists of a long lead (LL), long steel (LS), short lead (SL), ~

and short stee l (SS) ca nister. The W21 M ca nister has long , depleted ura nium (LO); long steel (LS);

short, depleted uranium (SD), and short steel (SS) designs. The W74 fuel basket assembly consists ~

of two right circular cylindrica l baskets, with a total of 74 ce ll locations and a capacity of up to 64 BW R ~

assemblies. The ten unfueled cell locations are mechan ically blocked to preven t loading in these ~

positions. The guide tubes are supported by a series of spacer plates, held in position by support ,

tubes that ru n through sleeves placed between the spacer plates. The guide tubes include neutron ~

poison sheets (borated stainless steel) in an arra ngement that assures there is a poison sheet between all assemblies. The W74 can ister has two classes of canister, W74M and W74T, differing in '

materials of construction used for the can ister shell and basket assembly. Each canister class has '

on ly a long steel (LS) design. ~

The W150 is the storage overpack for both the W21 and W74 can isters. There is a long and a short version of the cask, both of reinforced concrete with a steel liner. The W150 provides structural

ca nister during long-term storage. The storage cask has an an nular air passage to allow the natural circu lation of air around the can ister. The spent fuel decay heat is transferred from the fuel assemblies to the guide tubes, and then via conduction through the spacer plates and radiation to the ca nister wall. Heat flows by rad iation and convection from the can ister wa ll to the circu lating air and is exhausted through the air outlets. The passive cooling system is designed to ma intain acceptable reinforced concrete and peak cladding temperatures for the authorized fuel types during storage The W100 transfer cask provides shield ing during canister movements between the spent fuel pool and the storage cask. The cask is a multi-wa ll (steel/lead/steel/water/steel) design . Covers are bolted on each end of the cask to allow access to the cask cavity from either end. The top cover includes a secondary central cover for ram access during horizonta l loading and unload ing operations. The W100 neutron sh ield cavity is filled with clean wa ter either prior to placement in or following remova l from the spent fuel pool. To prevent con tamination of the annular region between the W100 and the canister, an inflatable annu lus sea l is used during load ing. Heat transfer from the transfer cask is primarily by conduction through the cask wa ll. A thermocouple probe is included to ensu re that the transfer cask system temperatures are within limits during horizontal transfer.

The system design features are intended to facilitate on-site SNF loading, handling, and monitoring operations, and to provide for radiological protection, criticality control, and maintenance of structural and thermal safety margins.

1.1.2 Principal Components of the SENTRY Dry Storage System 1.1.2.1 SENTRY W21H and W37 Canisters The SENTRY W21H and W37 canisters are designed for storage in the SENTRY W180 storage cask, and for on-site canister transfer and loading in the SENTRY W110 transfer cask. The W21H canister can store up to 20 PWR spent fuel assemblies having at least 1-1/2 years of post-irradiation cooling time, and the W37 canister can store up to 37 PWR spent fuel assemblies having at least 3 years of post-irradiation cooling time. Up to four of the 37 positions in the W37 canister can be utilized to store damaged fuel assemblies in W37 damaged fuel cans. The major components of these canisters are a basket assembly and a shell assembly. The shell assembly is designed as the leak tight confinement boundary for transfer and storage conditions. The W21H canister shell has 120 vertical fins welded to the outside of the shell to provide additional canister cooling. The basket assembly is sealed inside the canister shell assembly and maintains the position of the SNF assemblies.

1.1.2.2 SENTRY W180 Storage Cask The SENTRY W180 storage cask consists of a cylindrical vertical reinforced concrete structure with a thick carbon steel liner enclosing an internal canister cavity. The W180 storage cask contains four inlet vent openings at the base and four outlet vents near the top. The vent openings allow air flow via natural convection to dissipate the decay heat generated by the canister. [

2. SCOPING EVALUATION Introduction The scoping evaluation identifies those Structures, Systems and Components (SSC) of the SENTRY Dry Storage System that are within the scope of the Certificate of Compliance (CoC) 1026 renewal and require further evaluation for potential aging effects. The process and methodology used for the scoping evaluation is described in Section 2.1. The scoping evaluation results are summarized in Section 2.2.

2.1 Scoping Evaluation Process The scoping evaluation of the SENTRY Dry Storage System is based on the process described in NUREG-1927 [2.1]. The process determines which SSCs (and associated subcomponents) are within the scope of the renewal. SSCs are considered within the scope of the renewal if they satisfy either of the following criteria:

(1) They are classified as Important-To-Safety (ITS), as they are relied on to do one of the following safety functions:

i. Maintain the conditions required by the regulations or CoC to store spent fuel safely, ii. Prevent damage to the spent fuel during handling and storage, or iii. Provide reasonable assurance that spent fuel can be received, handled, packaged, stored, and retrieved without undue risk to the health and safety of the public These SSCs ensure that important safety functions are met for (1) confinement, (2) radiation shielding, (3) sub-criticality control, (4) heat-removal capability, (5) structural integrity, and (6) retrievability.

(2) They are classified as Not-Important-To-Safety (NITS), but, according to the design basis, its failure could prevent fulfillment of a function that is ITS.

The SENTRY Dry Storage System is designed to allow ready retrieval of the SENTRY W21H and W37 canisters in accordance with 10 CFR 72.122(l) and satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 72.236(m). The SENTRY W21H and W37 canisters are designed for removal of individual or canned spent fuel assemblies and for canister removal from a storage cask for placement into a transfer cask and subsequent transport off-site in the appropriate transportation cask, thus meeting the retrievability requirements of 10 CFR 72.122(l) and 10 CFR 72.236(m).

Retrievability functions are further discussed in Section 3.6 Other Analyses - Retrievability.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Referenced sources used to support the scoping evaluation process include the following:

  • SENTRY Dry Storage System safety analysis report (SAR)
  • CoC 1026 and CoC 1026 amendments
  • CoC 1026 SENTRY Dry Storage System technical specifications
  • NRC Safety Evaluation Reports (SERs) for CoC 1026 and CoC amendments
  • SENTRY Dry Storage System design-bases documents (e.g., calculations, specifications, design change documents)
  • SENTRY Dry Storage System drawings
  • Vendor information
  • Applicable NRC guidance The SENTRY canisters, transfer cask, and storage cask are classified as ITS. Individual components, assemblies, and piece parts were designed, fabricated, and tested to the quality standards commensurate with the items graded quality category. The quality categories for the SENTRY Dry Storage System components are based on NUREG/CR-6407, Classification of Transportation Packaging and Dry Spent Fuel Storage System Components According to Importance to Safety, [2.6] as referenced in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR. The scoping evaluation ensured that SSCs identified in the design-bases documents were properly differentiated as being either within or not within the scope of the renewal. The identification of SSCs and SSC subcomponents in the scoping evaluation are applied consistently throughout the renewal application addenda.

The SSCs within the scope of renewal are screened to identify and describe the subcomponents with intended functions. SSC subcomponents may degrade by different modes or have different criteria for evaluation from the overall component (i.e., different materials or environments).

The scoping evaluation process (1) defines the intended function of each SSC subcomponent and (2) differentiates SSC subcomponents per scoping criteria (1) and (2), as defined above. This information is tabulated and described in the scoping evaluation in a comprehensive and accurate manner (i.e., SSC subcomponents are not missing from the scoping evaluation; SSC subcomponent naming is consistent with the design bases; intended functions are properly described) by comparing the results of the scoping evaluation to appropriate SAR drawings or tables.

In accordance with NUREG-1927, the CoC 1026 renewal is based on the continuation of the existing SENTRY Dry Storage System Current Licensing Basis (CLB) and the intended safety functions of the SSC ITS throughout the period of extended operation and maintenance. As listed above, the sources of information reviewed in the scoping evaluation process that describe the CLB and the intended safety functions of the SSC ITS include the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR, CoC 1026, technical specifications, and NRC SERs.

The W21H canister is the confinement system for storing up to 20 PWR spent fuel assemblies. The W21H canister performs confinement, sub-criticality control, heat-removal and radiation shielding safety functions. The W21H canister consists of a shell assembly, bottom closure plate, canister lid, vent and drain port covers and an internal basket assembly. The canister body of the SENTRY canisters consist of an assembly of two rolled plates longitudinally welded and joined between them by a circumferential weld. The internal support structure (canister basket), has twenty (20) positions or cells for spent fuel assemblies plus one empty position in the center of the canister basket. In order to limit the gap between the SNF assemblies top and the canister closure lid, fuel spacers are attached to the closure lid. Structural components are constructed of stainless steel. The W21H canister shell, top and bottom closure plates, port covers and the associated welds form the leak tight confinement boundary.

Permanent fixed neutron absorbing materials (poison) are provided to ensure neutron absorbing capabilities during the design basis storage period. The criticality safety design features and analysis are discussed further in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] Chapter 7.

The pressure-retaining components of the W21H canister (i.e., the components forming the confinement boundary for storage), are designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III, Division 3 Subsection WC [2.7], as discussed in Sections 1.2.1.3 and 3.3.2.1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. The canister structural components include the internal basket assembly and the shell assembly; both classified as ITS. The internal basket assembly is designed and fabricated as an internal support structure in accordance with the applicable requirements of ASME Code,Section III, Division 3, Subsection WD, to the maximum extent practicable, as discussed in Section 3.6.1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3].

2.2.2.3 W37 High Capacity Canister The W37 High Capacity Canister is described in Section 1.2.1.2 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. The W37 canister is the confinement system for storing up to 37 PWR spent fuel assemblies. The W37 canister performs confinement, sub-criticality control, heat-removal and radiation shielding safety functions. The W37 canister consists of a shell assembly, top and bottom closure plates, vent and drain port covers, closure ring and internal basket assembly. The canister body of the SENTRY canisters consist of an assembly of two rolled plates longitudinally welded and joined between them by a circumferential weld. The W37 internal support structures (canister basket), has 37 positions or cells for spent fuel assemblies. Four (4) of those cells on the outer periphery can be utilized to store damaged fuel cans. In order to limit the gap between the SNF assemblies top and the canister closure lid, fuel spacers are attached to the closure lid.

The criticality safety design features and analysis are discussed further in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] Chapter 7.

The W37 canister shell, bottom closure and top closure, port covers and the associated closure welds provides a leaktight confinement boundary. The pressure-retaining components of the W37 canister (i.e., the components forming the confinement boundary for storage), are designed in accordance with the applicable requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 2-7 Addenda Page 20 of 135 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Section III, Division 3, Subsection WC [2.7], as discussed in Sections 1.2.1.2 and 3.3.2.1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. Structural components are constructed of stainless steel. The canister structural components include the internal basket assembly and the shell assembly; both classified as ITS. The internal basket assembly is designed and fabricated as an internal support structure in accordance with the applicable requirements of ASME Code,Section III, Division 3, Subsection WD, to the maximum extent practicable, as discussed in Section 3.6.1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. Canister shell assembly confinement boundary material and basket assembly structural materials are ASME Code-approved stainless steel materials.

W37 Damaged Fuel Cans (DFCs) are stainless steel enclosures for PWR damaged fuel assemblies and fuel debris to allow storage inside of one of the four reserved positions in the W37 canister. The DFC provides structural stability, criticality control, and a fixed location for damaged SNF. Each DFC has screens to allow fluid flow within the can, as well as water drainage. The DFC does not provide a confinement function. The SENTRY W37 DFC structural components are designed and constructed in accordance with ASME Code Section III, Division 3, Subsection WD to the maximum extent practicable.

2.2.2.4 W180 Storage Cask The W180 storage cask is described in Section 1.2.1.1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR

[2.3]. The W180 storage cask is the storage overpack for the W21H canister and the W37 canister. The W180 safety functions include structural integrity, radiation shielding, protection from environmental conditions, and natural convection heat-removal cooling of the canister during long-term storage. The W180 storage cask is a right circular cylindrical structure that is fabricated primarily from carbon steel and steel-reinforced concrete. For the concrete normal density, Type II Portland cement is used. The W180 storage cask has an annular air passage to allow the natural circulation of air around the canister. Air inlet and outlet ducts are cast into the body of the W180 storage cask to provide natural convection heat-removal cooling of the SNF assemblies during storage.

The W180 storage cask is designed in accordance with the requirements of ACI 349 [2.10] and constructed in accordance with ACI 318 [2.11]. The ANSI/American Institute of Steel Construction AISC 360-10 Code [2.12] is used for the design of the structural steel elements that are part of the W180 storage cask. The W180 storage cask is constructed of reinforced concrete with a rebar cage.

Carbon steel is used to form the inside cavity liner and air ducts of the W180 storage cask.

Carbon steel is also used to enclose the concrete used for shielding in the cask top cover.

Exposed carbon steel surfaces including the interior surfaces of the air inlet and outlet ducts assemblies, are coaled with an inorganic zinc-rich primer and a high build epoxy enamel finish, for example Carboline Carbozinc 11 primer with Carboguard 890 enamel. Rebar and surfaces in contact with concrete need not be coaled.

The W180 storage cask has two configurations, one configuration for storage of the W21H Minimum Cooling Time Canister and one configuration for storage of the W37 High Capacity Canister. [

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

](a,c).

As noted above, the safety functions of the W180 storage cask include structural integrity, radiation shielding, and heat-removal capability. The W180 storage cask protects the W21H and W37 canisters from damage due to external events, such as tornado generated winds and missiles. The radiation shielding provided by the W180 storage cask reduces occupational exposure and assures that the regulatory site-boundary dose limits are met.

2.2.2.5 W110 Transfer Cask A detailed description of the W110 transfer cask is provided in Section 1.2.1.4 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. The W110 transfer cask is used for W21H and W37 canister loading and unloading operations. The W110 transfer cask provides shielding and heat transfer during canister movements. Heat removal from the W110 transfer cask is primarily by conduction through the cask wall. The transfer cask includes top and bottom pipe connections for attachment of an active cooling system (ACS) when additional cooling is needed.

The W110 transfer cask is a multi-wall (stainless steel/lead/stainless steel/ [ ](a,c) neutron shielding/stainless steel) design. The W110 transfer cask has a stainless steel inner liner and outer structural shell, with lead gamma shielding in the annular space between them. A neutron shield, consisting of a stainless steel outer jacket forming an annular cavity that is filled with [ ](a,c) epoxy-resin neutron shielding, surrounds the structural shell. All exposed surfaces of the transfer cask are polished stainless steel to ease decontamination. The transfer cask exterior surface has a white epoxy coating to increase its thermal transfer characteristics and to decrease the absorptivity of direct sunlight. This epoxy coating has good continuous service temperature resistance (>325°F) and excellent decontamination characteristics.

The ends of the transfer cask body include an austenitic stainless steel upper ring and a lower flange that are welded to the structural outer shell and inner liner. The covers at the bottom end of the cask are bolted to the lower flange, providing access to the transfer cask cavity for canister transfer operations. The bottom covers consist of an outer austenitic stainless steel sealing lid, and an inner two-piece detachable stainless steel structural lid, all of which are attached to the transfer cask bottom flange with bolts.

The W110 transfer cask has two high-strength austenitic stainless steel lifting features (lifting lugs) bolted to the upper ring at the top of the cask separated by 180° for vertical cask handling operations. These two lifting features are designed, fabricated, and load tested as a special lifting device in accordance with ANSI N14.6 [2.9] and NUREG-0612 [2.8]. The balance of the transfer cask is designed and fabricated as an ASME Section III, Subsection NF, Class 1 [2.7]

component support rather than a special lifting device consistent with its design function.

2-9 Addenda Page 22 of 135 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 The W110 transfer cask configuration described above is for W37 canister handling operations.

For W21H canister handling operations, the W110 transfer cask also includes an additional bolted upper seal ring and auxiliary shielding shell to accommodate the smaller diameter and higher radiation levels of the W21H canister.

2.2.2.6 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment The fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is described in Section 1.2.1.5 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. Section 2.4.2.2 of NUREG 1927 [2.1] states that transporter devices may be classified as important to safety or safety related (under 10 CFR Part 50) in the design bases of various ISFSIs or dry cask storage systems. The SAR should be reviewed to determine how these SSCs are used in the SAR evaluations and described in the license or CoC, to understand whether these SSCs are considered part of the design bases, and thus whether they should be considered within the scope of renewal.

Certain SENTRY Dry Storage System fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment necessary for ISFSI operations and spent fuel handling is classified as Important to Safety or Safety Related in Table 3.1-1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] (e.g., transfer cask lifting yoke and paddle extension, canister handling device, active cooling system, and transfer mating device). Other Canister Closure/Opening Equipment, and Transfer to Storage Equipment, are classified as not important to safety in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR. The Important to Safety and Safety Related fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment which are included in this Scoping Evaluation and CoC 1026 renewal are listed in Table 2-2. Table 2-8 lists the safety functions, the FSAR drawings or figures, and the safety classifications of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment which have been identified in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR.

Table 2-2 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Classification Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Classification Handling Equipment:

  • Transfer Cask Lifting Yoke and Paddle Extension Safety Related
  • Canister Handling Device (Vertical Canister Lift Fixture) Important to Safety Canister Closure/Opening Equipment:
  • Active Cooling System (and Associated Important to Safety Transfer to Storage Equipment:
  • Transfer Mating Device Important to Safety Note:

Components under 10 CFR 72 scope having a safety function are classified Important to Safety, and components under 10 CFR 50/52 are classified Safety Related.

2.2.2.7 ISFSI Storage Pad ISFSI storage pad aging related design features and storage pad classifications are not discussed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. The SENTRY Dry Storage System is designed 2-10 Addenda Page 23 of 135 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 such that any potential failure of the ISFSI storage pad would not prevent fulfilling system safety functions.

The cask storage pad enveloping design parameters used to analyze SENTRY Dry Storage System cask deceleration during postulated design basis end drop accidents and postulated non-mechanistic tipover events are delineated in SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specification 4.2.2, Pad Properties to Limit Cask Gravitational Loadings Due to Postulated Drops of the Storage Cask [2.4], and SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Table 4.6-8, Envelope Parameters used for End Drop and Tipover Analyses. The results of the postulated cask end drop and tipover events are summarized in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Table 4A-4, Peak Accelerations for the ISFSI Pad Sensitivity Analyses.

If SENTRY Dry Storage System users classify their ISFSI storage pad as Important to Safety, then ISFSI storage pad aging management inspections should be identified and performed on a site-specific basis.

2.2.2.8 ISFSI Security Equipment The ISFSI security equipment (e.g., ISFSI security fences and gates, lighting, communications, and monitoring equipment) are not part of the SENTRY Dry Storage System under CoC 1026

[2.6], and as such, are not described in detail in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3].

Plant security programs and procedures ensure that the ISFSI security equipment requirements are met. Potential failure of the ISFSI security equipment would not prevent the SENTRY Dry Storage System casks from performing their intended safety functions.

2.2.3 SSCs Within the Scope of CoC Renewal The SSCs determined to be within the scope of renewal include are the W180 storage cask, the W110 transfer cask, and the W21H and W37 canisters. The W180 storage cask, the W110 transfer cask, and the W21H and W37 canisters (including W37 damaged fuel cans and fuel assembly spacers) satisfy Criteria 1 of the scoping evaluation process. The subcomponents of these in-scope SSCs and their intended safety functions are identified in Tables 2-4 through 2-7.

The Important to Safety and Safety Related SENTRY Dry Storage System fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment listed in Table 2-2, and further identified in Table 2-8, are included within the scope of the CoC 1026 renewal.

The SNF assemblies, which are sealed and supported inside the W21H and W37 canisters (including any damaged W37 SNF assemblies in damaged fuel cans), are also determined to be within the scope of renewal. However, as noted in NUREG-1927 [2.1], fuel pellets are not within the scope of renewal. The intended safety functions of the SNF assembly subcomponents are identified in Table 2-10.

The above identified SENTRY Dry Storage System components and equipment are the ITS and safety related SSCs within the scope of the CoC 1026 [2.6] renewal under 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L.

2-11 Addenda Page 24 of 135 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 2.2.4 SSC Not Within the Scope of CoC Renewal The SSC that are not in the scope of renewal include certain fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment, the ISFSI storage pad, ISFSI security equipment, and W110 and W180 instrumentation. These components are classified as NITS and do not meet scoping Criteria 2 as their failure does not prevent fulfillment of a function important to safety.

Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment As listed in Table 2-3 below, certain fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment necessary for ISFSI operations (e.g., inflatable seals, annulus water pressure equalizer tank, draining and drying machine, automatic remote welding machine, hydrostatic test pump, mass spectrometer for leak testing, etc.) are classified as NITS in Table 3.1-1 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR

[2.3]. These SSCs are not included as part of the SENTRY Dry Storage System described in the SENTRY Dry Storage System CoC 1026 [2.6] under 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L.

As described in Section 1.2 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], the SENTRY Dry Storage System W180, W110, W21H and W37 component safety functions are not affected by the potential failure of the Table 2-3 listed fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment. Failure of this equipment would not prevent the SENTRY Dry Storage System components from fulfilling their intended safety functions. Therefore, the Table 2-3 fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment does not meet scoping Criteria 2 and is not in the scope of CoC 1026 renewal. The actual fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment used at a given site is addressed by the General Licensee in the 10 CFR 72.212 Evaluation Report on a site-specific basis.

ISFSI Storage Pad The SENTRY Dry Storage System ISFSI storage pad is not part of the SENTRY Dry Storage System CoC 1026 [2.6] under 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L, and as such, is not described in detail in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]. The ISFSI storage pad provides free-standing support of the SENTRY Dry Storage System casks. The SENTRY Dry Storage System W180, W110, W21H and W37 components are designed such that any potential failures of the ISFSI storage pad would not prevent them from fulfilling their intended safety functions. Therefore, the ISFSI storage pad does not meet scoping Criteria 2 and is not in the scope of renewal. The ISFSI Pad subcomponents are identified in Table 2-11.

Although not within the scope of the CoC 1026 renewal, if required aging management inspections of the ISFSI pad may be addressed on a site-specific basis by a General Licensee.

ISFSI Security Equipment The ISFSI security equipment (e.g., ISFSI security fences and gates, lighting, communications, and monitoring equipment) are NITS components that are not part of the SENTRY Dry Storage System under CoC 1026 [2.6] in accordance with 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart L. Failure of the ISFSI security equipment would not prevent fulfillment of a SENTRY Dry Storage System function that is important to safety.

3. AGING MANAGEMENT REVIEW Introduction The purpose of the aging management review (AMR) for Certificate of Compliance (CoC) 1026 is to assess the need for aging management activities (AMAs) of structures, systems, and components (SSCs) determined to be within the scope of renewal for CoC 1026. The AMR addresses aging mechanisms and effects that could adversely affect the ability of the SSCs, including their associated subcomponents, to perform their intended safety functions during the requested 40 year period of extended operation. The initial design life for the W21H canisters, W37 canisters and W180 storage casks is 80 years. The W110 transfer cask has been engineered to perform its design functions for 60 years.

Utilizing the guidance of NUREG-1927 [2.1] along with that provided by NUREG-2214 [2.2],

this section addresses the technical bases and considerations used in conducting the SENTRY Dry Storage System AMR. The areas considered include:

  • identification of materials and environments of SSCs and associated subcomponents within the scope of renewal
  • identification of aging mechanisms and the effects requiring management
  • identification of time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs), if applicable, and aging management programs (AMPs) for managing the effects of aging for SSCs within scope The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] for the W180 storage cask, the W110 transfer cask, the W21H canister, and the W37 canister including the associated design drawings were utilized as the primary documents to identify the safety classifications, intended functions, materials, and service environments of the SSCs and subcomponents.

The AMR decision process utilized the flowchart obtained from NUREG-1927 as shown in Figure 3-1.

Section 3.1 describes CoC 1026 dry cask storage system operating experience related to the SENTRY Dry Storage System casks.

Section 3.2 describes the Aging Management Review Methodology utilized following the guidance of NUREG-1927. Section 3.2.1 describes the identification of in-scope SSCs requiring Aging Management Review. Section 3.2.2 describes AMR Materials and Environments. Section 3.2.3 describes the identification of Aging Effects Requiring Management. Section 3.2.4 describes the aging management activity (TLAA or AMP) to manage the effects of aging.

Section 3.3 presents the results of the Aging Management Review along with a description of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SSCs, Section 3.4 identifies the Aging Management Programs (AMPs) required, and Section 3.5 identifies the Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAAs) needed.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.1 Operating Experience Review 3.1.1 CoC 1026 Dry Storage System Operating Experience The SENTRY Dry Storage System is the follow-on dry fuel storage system design related to the CoC 1026 FuelSolutions Storage System. Both systems use vertical cylindrical reinforced concrete storage casks with an inner steel liner. Both systems use welded stainless steel canisters. Both systems use stainless steel transfer casks having inner and outer stainless steel shells enclosing lead shielding, with exterior neutron shielding material enclosed by a stainless steel jacket.

The SENTRY Dry Storage System advances the use of materials and engineering technologies in producing a cost and time saving step-change to dramatically shorten cooling times and increase heat loads.

3.1.2 User Operating Experience A review of user operating experience for the CoC 1026 dry storage system was performed to evaluate if there was any operating experience or inspection results that would impact the aging of CoC 1026 systems. As of 2020, the only CoC 1026 FuelSolutions storage systems in use are at the Big Rock Point ISFSI located in Michigan. Therefore, the review only includes items at that site. This review found the following items:

  • Storage Cask Concrete and Grout Degradation A few concrete bug holes [Ref 2.2, Table 6-3] and pits were found and repaired on the seven storage casks.

- Degraded grout in some cask seam locations was found and repaired.

- No deterioration of cask coatings was identified in annual inspections.

- Concrete hairline cracks, which occurred during the initial cask loading time frame, near some storage cask top bolting locations have not propagated.

- Concrete handling damage, which occurred in a small area on one storage cask was found and repaired during the canister loading campaign.

  • Transfer Cask

- No deleterious coating degradation noted during annual inspections.

- No neutron shield jacket deterioration identified during annual pressure test using air at approximately 5 psi.

- Neutron shield jacket relief valve found to be correctly set between 40 and 45 psig during annual inspections.

  • Welded Stainless Steel Canister

- No welded stainless steel canister degradation found during each five year borescope visual inspection of Big Rock Point Storage Cask #7 interior.

  • Auxiliary Equipment 3-3 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 51 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

- Equipment has been inspected and exercised annually with no degradation identified.

The conditions noted are proposed to be monitored by the aging management programs described in Appendix A for the applicable components. The types of degradation previously seen were utilized in determining the criteria for future inspections. Trending of these conditions and corrective actions, as necessary, are also part of the proposed aging management programs.

The reviewed operating experience evaluations covered the in scope subcomponents. Out of scope components listed in Chapter 2 were not evaluated for this renewal application. In addition, relevant operating experience was gathered from the inspections of other dry fuel storage systems as described in Appendix C.

The aging management programs in Appendix A were developed considering this operating experience.

3.1.3 User Exemption Requests No exemption requests have been identified at the time of writing this renewal application that have implications regarding aging management involving the design basis requirements for the CoC 1026 structures, systems and components (SSCs) at the Big Rock Point ISFSI. If exemption requests are made in the future, they should be evaluated for impact on aging management.

3.2 Aging Management Review Methodology The aging effects that may adversely affect the ability of SSC to perform intended safety functions during the extended period of operations have been assessed in this AMR. This AMR utilizes the recommended methodology provided in NUREG-1927 [2.1]. The aging management review process involves three major steps. This AMR utilizes the decision flowchart shown on Figure 3-1. The major steps are outlined as follows:

  • Identify materials and service environments
  • Identify aging mechanism or effects requiring management

subcomponents are presented in Table 2-4 through Table 2-8 in Chapter 2.

SSC or subcomponents that are not in scope for renewal are excluded from evaluation in this AMR.

3.2.2 Identification of Materials and Environments The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] provides a detailed description of the SENTRY Dry Storage System and the materials used in the SSCs. Each in scope SSC / subcomponent for 3-4 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 52 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 aging management, with its intended function, material, and service environment is listed on Table 2-4 through Table 2-8. SSCs or subcomponents that do not have a safety function or support a safety function are not required to undergo aging management. A summary of the materials used in the aging management review is provided in Table 3-1.

Nickel Alloy Includes Inconel, which is a family of austenitic nickel-chromium-based super alloys.

Stainless Steel Stainless steel austenitic and martensitic alloys of various types such as 304, 304L, 316, 316L and 17-4 PH Zirconium-based Materials of construction of fuel cladding and fuel assembly hardware.

alloys Various zirconium- based materials have been used in commercial reactor applications because of their low neutron cross section and excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of environmental conditions. This category includes (but is not limited to) Zircaloy-2, Zircaloy-4, ZIRLO, and M5.

Carbon Steel Various carbon steels including ASTM A36, ASTM A320, SA193-Gr. B7, SA516-Gr. 70 and reinforcing steel.

A generic description of the four basic environments is provided below.

3.2.2.1 Helium Helium environment refers to the inside of the W21H and W37 canisters. Following the canister drying process, the canisters are backfilled with high purity helium gas. As a result, the canisters internal environment has negligible, if any, amounts of moisture or air. The canisters helium environment may experience a range of temperatures as calculated for the W21H and W37 canisters.

3-5 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 53 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.2.2.2 Sheltered Environment Sheltered environment refers to environments that may include ambient air, but are shielded from sunlight, precipitation and direct wind. The sheltered environment in the SENTRY Dry Storage System design is the annular space created between the W180 storage cask and the W21H or W37 canisters. The ambient air may contain moisture, salinity, dust or other contaminants typical of the ISFSI location. The temperature of the sheltered environment reflects the air temperature passing through the annular space.

Sheltered environment may also refer to the interior of a building providing protection from elements including sunlight, rain, and wind.

3.2.2.3 Embedded Environment Embedded environment applies to materials that are in contact with or sealed inside another component or material. This may prevent ingress of gases, water or contaminants to the embedded surface, depending on the permeability of the embedding environment. Items in this environment include the rebar and internal metal items of the W180 storage cask which are embedded in concrete and the lead and neutron shielding in the W110 transfer cask which are embedded in stainless steel. The embedded item is subject to the temperature of the component in which it is embedded.

3.2.2.4 Air-Outdoor Environment Air-outdoor environment is used for exterior surfaces that are directly exposed to weather, including precipitation and wind and which may transport dust or moisture with dissolved salt.

The in-scope components in an air-outdoor environment in the SENTRY Dry Storage System are the W180 storage casks and, depending on the licensee ISFSI, the W110 transfer cask. The air-outdoor environment has temperature ranges equivalent to the site ambient temperature ranges where the ISFSI is located.

3.2.3 Identifying Effects Requiring Aging Management After the materials and environments were identified, the next step involves determining the aging effects requiring management. Aging effects requiring management during the renewed license period are those that could cause a loss of SSC intended function. If degradation of a subcomponent would be insufficient to cause a loss of function or the relevant conditions do not exist for the aging effect to occur and propagate, then no aging management is required. These aging effects were determined based on a review of NRC MAPS report (NUREG-2214) [2.2],

related industry technical literature and the combination of SSC materials and environments, industry operating experience, and maintenance and inspection records from general licensees (such as condition reports and inspection reports). Both potential aging effects that could theoretically occur, as well as aging effects that have occurred based upon industry operating experience were considered.

Aging effects occur as a result of various mechanisms. To manage the effects of aging, the mechanisms that may affect the material need to be considered. The AMR process identifies both aging effects and the aging mechanism causing that effect. The aging effects and 3-6 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 54 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 mechanisms for each SSC are broken down by subcomponent in Table 2-4 through Table 2-8.

The tables in Chapter 2 note which subcomponents have ITS related functions during the extended storage period.

3.2.4 Determination of Aging Management Activities Aging management activities are established to manage the effect of aging of SSC during the extended license period. ISFSI programs and activities are credited to manage these aging effects that have the potential to cause a loss of intended function during the renewed license period.

As described in Section 3.4.1.3 of NUREG-1927 [2.1], there are two methods to address potential aging mechanisms and effects on components; consisting of a time-limited aging analysis (TLAA) or an aging management program (AMP).

3.2.4.1 Time-Limited Aging Analysis (TLAA)

As required by 10 CFR 72.240(c)(2), the CoC application for renewal must include Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA) that demonstrates that structures, systems, and components important to safety will continue to perform their intended function for the requested period of extended operation. Per 10 CFR 72.3, a Time-Limited Aging Analysis (TLAA) refers to a calculation or analysis that meets all of the following attributes:

  • Involves SSCs important to safety within the scope of the license or CoC renewal,
  • Considers the effects of aging,
  • Involves time-limited assumptions defined by the current operating term,
  • Was determined to be relevant in making a safety determination,
  • Involves conclusions or provides the basis for conclusions related to the capability of the SSCs to perform their intended safety functions, and

3.2.4.2 Aging Management Program (AMP)

An Aging Management Program (AMP) monitors SSCs within the scope of renewal for aging mechanisms or effects during the period of extended operation in accordance with NUREG-1927. The AMP may include preventive, mitigation, or condition / performance monitoring activities. An AMP must be started after the SENTRY Dry Storage System reaches 20 years of operation and serves to support the SENTRY Dry Storage System during the period of extended operation. An AMP can be initiated earlier if desired by the owner but it is not required. The information gained from an AMP will provide reasonable assurance that SSCs and subcomponent maintain their required functions.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3 Aging Management Review Results 3.3.1 Aging Management Review Results - W21H and W37 Canisters Table 2-4a and Table 2-4b summarize the results of the aging management review for the W21H and W37 canister subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the license renewal.

Additional description of the W21H and W37 canister subcomponents is provided in Section 3.3.1.1, while Sections 3.3.1.2 and 3.3.1.3 present the materials and environments for the specified subcomponents. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.1.4 and 3.3.1.5, respectively.

3.3.1.1 Description of W21H and W37 Canister Subcomponents W21H and W37 Canisters The W21H and W37 canisters are welded cylindrical structures with flat ends that provide confinement of the spent nuclear fuel during storage operations. The confinement boundary, comprised of the shell assembly, top and bottom closure plates, vent and drain port covers, and associated welds, is constructed entirely of stainless steel. The W21H and W37 top closure plate, with welded port covers and closure ring provide a redundant welded closure. Access to the canister cavity for the purposes of water and moisture removal and subsequent backfilling with a high purity helium is achieved via the vent and drain ports. Additional details regarding the W21H and W37 canister descriptions are included in Sections 2.2.2.2 and 2.2.2.3 of this renewal application addenda.

W21H and W37 Canister Fuel Baskets The SENTRY W21H canister basket assembly is designed and fabricated as an internal support structure in accordance with the applicable requirements of ASME Code,Section III, Division 3, Subsection WD, to the maximum extent practicable, as discussed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.6.1. For the W21H canister, the stack-up of grid plates is composed of a structural ASME certified SA-240 Type 304/304L SST plate, an aluminum plate for heat transfer, and a neutron absorber plate (neutron poison) for criticality control.

The SENTRY W37 canister basket assembly is made up of interlocking, slotted plates to form egg-crate type structures. For the W37 canister, the egg-crate structures form a grid of 33 positions, or cells, for undamaged spent fuel assemblies and 4 positions intended for the loading of damaged fuel cans [

](a,c). The stack-up of grid plates is composed of a structural ASME certified SA-240 Type 304/304L SST plate and an aluminum plate for heat transfer.

W37 Damaged Fuel Cans Damaged fuel can be stored in the SENTRY W37 canister inside of specially designed SENTRY W37 damaged fuel cans (DFC). The SENTRY W37 canister is designed to accommodate up to four damaged fuel assemblies. Each damaged fuel assembly is placed inside a SENTRY W37 DFC. The SENTRY W37 damaged fuel can is designed to contain damaged or 3-8 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 56 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 undamaged fuel assemblies during all normal, off-normal, and accident conditions for on-site storage and transfer operations. The SENTRY W37 damaged fuel can, containing a damaged fuel assembly, is designed to be handled vertically. Each DFC has screens to allow fluid flow within the can, as well as water drainage.

[

](a,c). Material details for the W37 canister subcomponents are provided in Table 2-4b.

3.3.1.2 W21H and W37 Canister Materials The W37 canister basket is composed of stainless steel and aluminum tubes, forming a total of 37 fuel openings for the W37 canister. Similarly, the W21H canister basket cells are made of layers of stainless steel, aluminum and Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) [

](a,c).

Additional details for the W21H and W37 canister subcomponents are provided in Tables 2-4a and 2-4b.

3.3.1.3 W21H and W37 Canister Environments The environments that affect the W21H and W37 canister subcomponents, both externally and internally, are described below.

3.3.1.3.1 External Each W21H and W37 canister is stored in a vertical, ventilated W180 storage cask. Based on this design, the external surface of each canister is exposed to the same environment as the inside of the W180 storage cask (described in Subsection 3.3.2), which is a sheltered environment that includes ambient air but is protected from precipitation, direct wind and sunlight. The ambient air may contain moisture, dust and atmospheric contaminants. The normal operating temperature of the outside of the W21H or W37 vertical canister surface is typically highest towards the top. Refer to the respective SENTRY SAR Figures 5.4-9 and 5.4-11 for Axial Temperature Distribution for the W37 Canister and W21H Canister respectively and does not change the programs needed to manage them.

3.3.1.3.2 Internal The W21H and W37 canisters are filled with the inert helium gas. The canister fuel basket assembly subcomponents and the W37 damaged fuel can subcomponents are exposed to this helium gas environment. Changes in canister temperatures do not change potential aging mechanisms and does not change their management.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.1.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management (W21H and W37 Canisters)

Based on the materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage for W21H and W37 canister the aging effects that require management are cracking (due to corrosion and stress corrosion cracking on the external canister surfaces), the loss of material, and radiation effects on the neutron absorber and steel components.

3.3.1.5 Aging Management Activities (W21H and W37 Canisters)

Based on the aging management review of the W21H and W37 canister subcomponents documented in Tables 2-4a and 2-4b, including the basket assembly subcomponents and the W37 damaged fuel can subcomponents, an AMP is required for the aging management activities of the W21H and W37 canisters and a TLAA is required specifically for the effects of radiation on the neutron absorbers. These aging management activities are listed in Sections 3.4 and 3.5 and addressed in detail in Appendix A and Appendix B of this renewal application addenda.

3.3.2 Aging Management Review Results - W180 Storage Cask Table 2-5 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the W180 storage cask subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the license renewal.

Additional description of the W180 storage cask subcomponents is provided in Section 3.3.2.1, while Sections 3.3.2.2 and 3.3.2.3 present the materials and environments for the specified subcomponents. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.2.4 and 3.3.2.5, respectively.

3.3.2.1 Description of W180 Storage Cask Subcomponents The W180 storage cask provides structural support, shielding, and supports natural circulation cooling for the W21H and W37 canisters. The W180 storage cask is ventilated by internal air flow paths which allow the decay heat to be removed by natural circulation around the metal W21H and W37 canister wall. Natural convection air enters the system horizontally through the four inlet vents and channels located at the bottom of the storage cask, flows upward through the storage cask cavity, and finally flows outward to ambient through the outlet vents at the top of the cask. The internal cavity of the W180 storage cask has a coated steel liner and bottom plate. The steel and concrete walls of the W180 storage cask are designed to minimize side surface radiation dose rates. The W180 storage cask top cover is fabricated from steel and concrete and provides additional gamma attenuation in the upward direction, reducing both direct radiation and skyshine. The W180 storage cask top cover is bolted in place and protects the W21H and W37 canisters from the environment and postulated tornado missiles. A more detailed description is included in paragraph 2.2.2.4 of this renewal application addenda.

3.3.2.2 W180 Storage Cask Materials The W180 storage cask is fabricated from reinforced concrete with a carbon steel inner liner and lower cap steel plate to form a vertical cylinder with an inner cavity for storage of the W21H and W37 canisters. The W180 storage cask reinforced concrete is in contact with the 3-10 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 58 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 carbon steel inner liner and lower cap steel plate. External concrete surface degradation is mitigated by using a weather-resistant protective coating.

Storage cask materials which come into contact with the canister, such as the carbon steel tip over devices and end drop devices are coated or fabricated from corrosion resistant stainless steel. The carbon steel sheltered components of the storage cask, e.g., the liner, top cover, and air inlet and outlet liners, are protected with an inorganic zinc-rich primer and high build epoxy enamel coating. Exposed carbon steel components, such as the storage cask top cover, are coated and accessible for re-coating if necessary. Exposed carbon steel components, such as the storage cask liner, which are not readily accessible are coated and not relied upon structurally.

Additional material details for the W180 storage cask subcomponents are provided in Table 2-5.

3.3.2.3 W180 Storage Cask Environments The W180 storage casks are located outdoors at their storage site. The W180 storage casks are designed for exposure to the environmental temperatures in Sections 3.2.2.1.1, 3.2.2.2.1, 3.2.2.3.1, and Table 3.2-2 of the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3]:

  • Normal, average yearly temperature of 80°F is selected as bounding for locations in the contiguous United States.
  • Temperature cases of 40°F and 104°F (average over 3 days) are used for W180 storage cask off-normal conditions for the structural evaluation of the W180 storage cask.
  • A maximum extreme temperature of 133°F (average over 3 days) is used for design of the W180 storage cask.

The interior components of the W180 storage casks are exposed to a sheltered environment. This environment includes ambient air through the air passages, but does not include precipitation, direct sun, or wind exposure. The ambient air may contain dust, moisture, salinity, or other contaminants.

The metal components of the W180 storage cask that are in contact with concrete, such as the outer surface of the inner shell, are considered to be in an embedded environment. The primary concern for embedded environments is the potential chemical reaction between the two materials. The interactions between materials of the W180 storage cask subcomponents are described in Section 3.3.2.2 and are not considered to be of concern for the extended storage period.

The exterior surfaces of the W180 storage casks are designed to be exposed to the weather-related effects, including insolation, wind, rain, snow, ice, ambient air, and other environmental phenomena at their associated storage sites as an air-outdoor environment. Additionally, the W180 storage casks are exposed to radiation effects from the W21H and W37 stored canisters.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.2.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management (W180 Storage Cask)

Based on a review of the W180 storage cask materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage at the ISFSI sites the main aging effects requiring management are loss of material due to corrosion, loss of fracture toughness (due to radiation impacts) for the metal components, and concrete aging issues caused by freeze thaw cycles, alkali-silica reaction, and/or calcium hydroxide leaching.

3.3.2.5 Aging Management Activities (W180 Storage Cask)

Based on the aging management review of the W180 storage cask subcomponents documented in Table 2-5, it has been determined that the aging management activities required for the W180 storage cask are the Reinforced Concrete Structures AMP (for the W180 storage cask concrete) and the Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP (for W180 metallic materials). These aging management activities are discussed in the AMPs identified in Section 3.4. For those components potentially impacted by radiation, the radiation impacts have been evaluated and determined that no additional aging management activities beyond those in the W180 storage cask AMPs are needed. A W180 TLAA is not required since no W180 analysis was incorporated or referenced in the initial W180 design basis.

3.3.3 Aging Management Review Results - Fuel Assembly Table 2-7 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the fuel assembly subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the CoC 1026 license renewal.

Additional description of the fuel assembly subcomponents is provided in Section 3.3.3.1, while Sections 3.3.3.2 and 3.3.3.3 present the materials and environments for the specified subcomponents. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.3.4 and 3.3.3.5, respectively.

3.3.3.1 Description of Fuel Assembly Fuel contained within the W21H or W37 canister consists of up to 20 PWR or 37 PWR fuel assemblies respectively. Maximum heat loads, and burnups times, along with required cooling times for the subject canisters are addressed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specification [2.4]. This renewal application addenda evaluates the bounding information as necessary.

Fuel rod cladding provides the primary confinement barrier, while the fuel assembly maintains the axial distribution of the radiological source and its position within the fuel basket. As noted in NUREG-2214 [2.2] fuel assembly hardware includes guide tubes, spacer grids, and lower and upper end fittings. The guide tubes may be fabricated using from zirconium-based alloys. The other components are usually fabricated using various nickel alloys and stainless steels. In the helium environment these components are considered to not be subject to credible degradation (creep, fatigue, hydriding, general corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and radiation embrittlement) and thus, aging management during the extended storage period is not required.

3-12 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 60 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.3.2 Fuel Assembly Materials The fuel assembly subcomponents included in the aging management review are made from zircaloy, stainless steel, and/or Inconel. Additional material details for the fuel assembly subcomponents are provided in Table 2-7.

3.3.3.3 Fuel Assembly Environments The SENTRY Dry Storage System is designed to store a wide range of PWR spent fuel assemblies in a dried and inert (helium) atmosphere. After fuel loading, draining and drying, the canister is backfilled with helium to provide an inert environment. The fuel temperatures range from the maximum value corresponding to the short term limit for a maximum canister heat load to the minimum ambient air temperature as the heat load reduces over time.

3.3.3.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management (Fuel Assembly)

Fuel assemblies authorized to be stored in the SENTRY Dry Storage System are classified as either moderate-burnup fuel (45,000 MWd/MTU) or high-burnup fuel (>45,000 MWd/MTU) for the canisters.

For PWR fuel loaded in SENTRY W37 canisters, payload configuration parameters are defined in SENTRY Technical Specification 2.1.1 Fuel to be Stored in the SENTRY W37 CANISTER [2.4] and detailed in SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specification Tables 2.1-1 through 2.1-5 with maximum assembly burnup levels limited to 65 GWd/MTU as noted.

Fuel must be intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. For fuel assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 65 GWd/MTU), the cladding oxide thickness is limited to 70 m as prescribed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] Section 3.2.1.

For PWR fuel loaded in SENTRY W21H canisters, payload configuration parameters are defined in SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specifications 2.1.2 Fuel to be Stored in the SENTRY W21H CANISTER [2.4] and detailed in SENTRY Technical Specification Tables 2.1-6 through 2.1-9 with maximum assembly burnup levels limited to 65 GWd/MTU as noted. Fuel must be intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. For fuel assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 65 GWd/MTU), the cladding oxide thickness is limited to 70 m as prescribed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] Section 3.2.1.

For the moderate-burnup fuel (burnup less than 45 GWd/MTU), cladding embrittlement due to irradiation damage or hydride formation is not a concern. In 2003, a report prepared by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL-14390 [3.1]), documenting research conducted by EPRI and the US Department of Energy, confirmed that similar, non-high-burnup fuel assemblies stored in a helium environment, like those to be stored inside the W21H and W37 canisters, do not exhibit detectable degradation of the cladding or more than negligible release of gaseous fission products during storage. Therefore, no aging effects requiring management are identified for the moderate-burnup fuel assemblies.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 High burnup fuel acceptability for the canisters 80-year service life, meets the guidance in NUREG-2215 [3.4]. As addressed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] Section 5.4.2.1 Conditions Analyzed for Loading Operations the guidance of NUREG-2215 is met that zirconium-based alloy cladding maximum calculated fuel-cladding temperature does not exceed 752°F for short-term loading operations, including cask drying and backfilling.

SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 8.16.1.4 Allowable Fuel Cladding Temperatures states The allowable long-term SNF cladding temperatures (400°C) used for thermal acceptance of the SENTRY canister designs are conservatively based on a 80-year service life.

SAR Section 8.13.2 notes The SENTRY DSS design does not limit the number of cycles and variation of cladding temperatures (65°C), as the mechanical properties considered for the cladding are based on NUREG-2224 (Reference 12) and PNL-17700 (Reference 14) and bound mechanical properties with hydrides reorientation.

Regarding cladding temperature variations, SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 5.4.2.1.4 addresses NUREG-2215 [3.4] guidance recommending a limit of 117°F for cladding temperature variations during thermal cycles of loading operations involving high burnup fuel which states The fuel rod structural evaluation performed in Chapter 4 uses bounding cladding-only mechanical properties with respect to hydrides reorientation. As stated in NUREG-2224, the orientation of the hydrides is not a critical consideration when evaluating the adequacy of cladding-only mechanical properties. Therefore, the use of mechanical properties for cladding in either the as-irradiated or hydride-reoriented condition is considered acceptable for the evaluation of drop accident scenarios and consequently there is no any [sic] thermal cycling limitation for the loading operations of the SENTRY DSS.

Regarding the orientation of the precipitated hydrides in the cladding SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 4.6.2.2 Properties of the Cladding Material notes: Conservatively the properties of the cladding material are evaluated at the maximum temperature allowed during storage time (752°F). It is also conservatively considered that this temperature is uniform throughout the entire cladding. Also, the SAR notes that consistent with the guidance NUREG-2224 [3.2], the use of cladding material properties reported by PNNL-17700 [3.3] are used. The section also notes, per NUREG-2224, the effect of the orientation of the precipitated hydrides in the cladding can be neglected given that, under bending loads (the case during end and side drops), the stresses are parallel to the radial and circumferential hydrides.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.3.5 Aging Management Activities (Fuel Assembly)

Based on the above review, it is determined that an AMP is needed for high burnup fuel.

NUREG-2215 [3.7] Section 8.5.15.2.7 High Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment (dry storage periods beyond 20 years) provides guidance for the storage of high burnup fuel for periods greater than 20 years, and specifies that the applicant may use a maintenance plan to obtain confirmatory data as an acceptable means for confirming that the canister contents satisfy the applicable regulations. NUREG-2215 in turn refers to NUREG-1927, Rev 1, for evaluation of plans. The high burnup fuel AMP should be periodically reviewed and updated whenever new data from the demonstration program or other short term tests or modeling indicate potential degradation of the fuel or deviation from the assumptions of the AMP.

Consistent with the guidance of NUREG-2215 the aging management plan will obtain data to confirm the stored spent nuclear fuel configurations will remain as analyzed. The High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP is described in Appendix A. Consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-1927 [2.1], the AMP takes credit for the DOE/EPRI High Burnup Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project (HDRP).

3.3.4 Aging Management Review Results - W110 Transfer Cask Table 2-6 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the W110 transfer cask subcomponents determined to be in the scope of the CoC 1026 license renewal.

Additional description of the W110 transfer cask is provided in Section 3.3.4.1, while Sections 3.3.4.2 and 3.3.4.3 present the materials and environments. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.4.4 and 3.3.4.5, respectively.

3.3.4.1 Description of W110 Transfer Cask The SENTRY W110 transfer cask is comprised of a stainless steel inner liner and an outer structural shell, with lead gamma shielding in the annular space between them. Primary biological shielding and structural protection for the canister is provided by the composite stainless steel and lead of the transfer cask. The transfer cask has a stainless steel neutron shield jacket that envelops its cylindrical body and is filled with [ ](a,c) solid neutron shielding material. The transfer cask bottom covers consist of an outer austenitic stainless steel sealing lid, and an inner two-piece detachable stainless steel structural lid, all of which are attached to the transfer cask bottom flange with bolts. Two high-strength austenitic stainless steel lifting features with lugs are provided at the top end of the transfer cask separated by 180° for vertical cask handling operations. The two lifting features are bolted to the transfer cask top ring. The transfer cask is capable of containing either a W21H or W37 canister. In the W21H configuration, the W110 transfer cask also includes an additional bolted upper seal ring and auxiliary shielding shell to accommodate the smaller diameter and higher radiation levels of the W21H canister.

To avoid contamination of the canister external surface and the inner surface of the transfer cask cavity, the annulus between the canister shell and inner liner of the transfer cask is filled with 3-15 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 63 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 clean demineralized water and uses inflatable seals in the top of the annulus prior to submergence of the transfer cask into the spent fuel pool.

3.3.4.2 W110 Transfer Cask Materials The W110 transfer cask structure, bottom covers, W21H auxiliary shielding, and lifting devices are fabricated from stainless steel. Other materials included in the W110 transfer cask design are lead (for gamma shielding), [ ](a,c) solid neutron shielding material, stainless steel for bolting, and elastomers (for the bottom cover and annulus seals). The solid neutron shielding and lead shielding materials are completely enclosed, and therefore there are no significant galvanic or chemical reactions between these materials and the air or borated water. As identified in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], the transfer cask exterior is coated [

_](a,c). This coating enhances radiation heat transfer from the W110 transfer cask while minimizing the effects of insolation.

The material of each W110 transfer cask subcomponent is identified in Table 2-6.

3.3.4.3 W110 Transfer Cask Environments The exterior of the W110 transfer cask is exposed to water or borated water (PWR) during fuel loading (while the W110 transfer cask is in a spent fuel pool), and to demineralized water in the annulus. Following fuel loading of the W21H and W37 canisters, the W110 transfer cask is removed from the spent fuel pool.

The relatively brief exposure of the W110 transfer cask to borated and demineralized water while in the spent fuel pool does not significantly contribute to the aging of the W110 transfer cask during the renewal period. It is the prolonged or frequently recurring exposure to environmental conditions that must be evaluated for aging effects, such as those encountered during extended transfer cask storage periods.

The environment to which the W110 transfer cask is exposed between W21H and W37 canister loading campaigns may be the sheltered atmosphere within a building. To be conservative and bound sites which store the W110 transfer cask outside, the W110 transfer cask storage environment is considered to be ambient air.

3.3.4.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management for W110 Transfer Cask Based on a review of the W110 transfer cask materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of transfer cask extended storage, the main aging effect requiring management is coating deterioration and fatigue during transfer cask handling.

3-16 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 64 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.4.5 Aging Management Activities for W110 Transfer Cask Based on the aging management review of the W110 transfer cask subcomponents documented in Table 2-6, the aging management activities required for the W110 transfer cask are an AMP for the W110 transfer cask, and a TLAA for W110 transfer cask fatigue.

The [ ](a,c) solid neutron shielding material used in the W110 transfer cask neutron shield jacket is in an enclosed environment and no damage or change in the properties of the material is expected to occur over the service life of the W110 transfer cask. Therefore, no AMP or TLAA is required.

3.3.5 Aging Management Review Results - Fuel Transfer/Auxiliary Equipment Table 2-8 summarizes the results of the aging management review for the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment and subcomponents identified in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR

[2.3] and determined to be within the scope of the CoC 1026 renewal.

Additional description of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is provided in Section 3.3.5.1, while Sections 3.3.5.2 and 3.3.5.3 present the materials and environments. The aging effects requiring management and the proposed activities required to manage these effects are discussed in Sections 3.3.5.4 and 3.3.5.5, respectively.

3.3.5.1 Description of Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment The in-scope SENTRY Dry Storage System fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment necessary for ISFSI operations and spent fuel handling includes the transfer cask lifting yoke and paddle extension, canister handling device (aka, vertical canister lift fixture), active cooling system (and associated instrumentation), and the transfer mating device. The actual fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment used at a given site is identified and addressed by the General Licensee in the 10 CFR 72.212 Evaluation Report on a site-specific basis.

The transfer cask lifting yoke includes a steel A-frame and two lifting arms which interface with the W110 transfer cask lifting feature lugs. Either lifting yoke pins secure the lifting yoke to the crane hook or a paddle extension is used between the crane hook and the lifting yoke pins if the lifting yoke user does not want the crane hook to contact the spent fuel pool water. The canister handling device is a steel fixture which is slung below the cask lifting yoke A-frame and uses canister lifting adapters which bolt to the W21H or W37 canister closure lid assembly. The canister handling device is used to lift or lower the canister into and out of the W110 transfer cask.

The transfer mating device is a component that ensures the correct attachment of W110 transfer cask to W180 storage cask, facilitates the disassembly and extraction of the transfer cask bottom lids, and the lifting or lowering of the canister between the two casks. The attachment of the storage cask to the transfer mating device is done first by bolting the mating device to the W180 storage cask top using the W180 cover lid threaded holes. Then, the mating device is attached to the transfer cask lower flange by tightening the transfer cask lower flange bolts to the mating device while both W110 and W180 casks are in a vertical stack-up position. The mating device 3-17 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 65 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 thereby facilitates the removal of the transfer cask bottom lids and provides a pathway for the transfer of the canister from W110 transfer cask to the W180 storage cask.

The W110 transfer cask has water inlet and outlets to allow for the use of an active cooling system (ACS) that, if needed, provides circulation and cooling of the water that is located in the annulus between the transfer cask and the canister. The water outlet is located on the upper ring and the water inlet is formed by a pipe crossing the transfer cask wall assembly at the bottom.

The ACS provides appropriate cooling capabilities to maintain the maximum calculated fuel-cladding temperature below 400°C for short term loading operations, including cask drying and backfilling, and maintain the temperature of SENTRY Dry Storage System components within acceptable temperature limits during transfer operations.

In order to mitigate the risk of losing active cooling during these operational stages, the ACS is equipped with redundant water cooler/chiller and pumps capable of supplying the required minimum water flow rate and cooling capacity. The required cooling system water (68°F) flows from bottom to top of the W110 transfer cask annulus at a volumetric flow rate of 31.7 gpm.

The ACS is also powered with a redundant power supply. The required ACS redundancy may be provided by a spare ACS capable of supplying the required minimum water flow rate and chilling capability. The ACS is connected when required based on total canister heat load.

3.3.5.2 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Materials The in-scope fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment are mostly fabricated from carbon and alloy steel which has been coated to mitigate corrosion. The materials of the in-scope fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment and subcomponents are identified in Table 2-8. The materials of the W110 transfer cask active cooling system (ACS) are not identified in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] and may vary from site to site depending on available cooling water supply and power supply equipment. The ACS components, including ACS instrumentation, are readily accessible and will be inspected and replaced if necessary prior to each loading campaign or each use.

3.3.5.3 Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Environments The cask lifting yoke, paddle extension and canister handling device (aka canister vertical lift fixture) are exposed to borated or demineralized water during fuel loading while the W110 transfer cask is in a spent fuel pool. While being used, the other fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is typically exposed to either an air-outdoor environment or a sheltered environment.

When not in use the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment is typically exposed to a sheltered environment.

The relatively brief exposure of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment to borated or demineralized water while in the spent fuel pool and the air-outdoor environment during transfer and loading operations (if applicable), does not significantly contribute to the aging of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment during the renewal period. It is the prolonged or frequently recurring exposure to sheltered environmental conditions and stresses, such as those encountered during storage, that must be evaluated for aging effects.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.3.5.4 Aging Effects Requiring Management for Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Based on a review of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment materials of construction and the environments experienced during the period of extended storage, the main aging effect requiring management is loss of material due to corrosion.

3.3.5.5 Aging Management Activities for Fuel Transfer and Auxiliary Equipment Based on the aging management review of the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment and subcomponents documented in Table 2-8, the aging management activities required for the fuel transfer and auxiliary equipment are the SENTRY System Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP.

3.4 Aging Management Programs (AMP)

Based on the results of the aging management reviews for systems, structures, and components (SSC) previously determined to be within the scope of the license renewal, presented above, the following AMPs are required:

1. SENTRY Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP
2. SENTRY System Reinforced Concrete Structures AMP
3. SENTRY System Monitoring of Metallic Surfaces AMP
4. SENTRY W110 Transfer Cask AMP
5. SENTRY Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP The full details of these AMPs are presented in Appendix A.

3.5 Time-Limited Aging Analyses (TLAA)

Using the TLAA-identification criteria discussed in Section 3.2.4.1, CoC 72-1026 and associated SERs, and SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specifications were reviewed and the following TLAAs were identified for further evaluation and disposition:

1. W21H Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion.
2. W37 Damaged Fuel Can Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion.
3. W37 and W21H Canister Shell and Basket Fatigue.
4. W37 and W21H Canister Lid Threaded Holes Fatigue.
5. W110 Transfer Cask Subcomponent Fatigue.
6. W110 Transfer Cask Neutron Shielding Thermal Aging, Radiation Embrittlement and Boron Depletion.

The full details of these TLAAs are presented in Appendix B.

3-19 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 67 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 3.6 Other Analyses - Retrievability The SENTRY Dry Storage System W21H and W37 canisters are designed for retrievability of individual or canned spent fuel assemblies and for canister removal from a storage cask for placement into a transfer cask in accordance with requirements of 10 CFR 72.122(l) and 10 CFR 72.236(m).

NUREG-2215 Section 3.4.3.8 addresses 10 CFR 72.122(l) in that the storage systems must be designed to allow ready retrieval of spent fuel, high-level radioactive waste, and reactor-related GTCC waste for further processing or disposal. In addition, NUREG-2215 notes the requirements of 10 CFR 72.236(m) state that CoC holders should design for retrievability [t]o the extent practicable in the design of spent fuel storage casks, consideration should be given to compatibility with removal of the stored spent fuel from a reactor site, transportation, and ultimate disposition by the Department of Energy. The SENTRY Dry Storage System has the ability to support options A and B identified in NUREG-2215:

A. remove individual or canned spent fuel assemblies from wet or dry storage, B. remove a canister loaded with spent fuel assemblies from a storage cask/overpack, Option A The results of the AMR show that there are no credible aging effects that require management during the extended storage period that would prohibit retrievability of an assembly or DFC from a canister. The W37 and W21H canisters store intact, zircaloy-clad SNF assemblies with burnup up to 65 GWd/MTU. As noted in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.3.8, the internal basket assembly design of the SENTRY W37 and W21H canisters maintains the geometric spacing of the SNF assemblies, which provides for retrievability of the SNF assemblies for all design loadings.

In addition, FSAR Section 3.2.1 "Spent Nuclear Fuel Specifications" notes that spent fuel assemblies with known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks or spent fuel assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU and cladding oxide thickness exceeding 70 m are considered damaged are to be placed inside SENTRY W37 Damaged Fuel Cans. SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 4.1.3 notes the SENTRY W37 Damaged Fuel Cans are designed to contain damaged fuel assemblies during all normal, off-normal, and accident conditions for on-site storage and transfer operations.

Degradation of the fuel assembly cladding will not occur during the initial or extended storage since the inert atmosphere inside the canister is maintained. Corrosion of the canister shell, cover and closure welds (i.e. confinement) are managed by the SENTRY Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP during the extended storage period to ensure that no aging effects result in the loss of intended functions (primarily confinement and structural support). This provides reasonable assurance that the SNF assemblies and DFC will be able to be retrieved from the canister and transferred to a spent fuel pool.

3-20 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 68 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 Option B Corrosion and degradation of the W21H and W37 canister shell, cover and closure welds are managed by the SENTRY Welded Stainless Steel Canister AMP during the extended storage period to ensure that no aging effect result in the loss of intended functions (primarily confinement and structural support) including canister retrievability. Time Limited Aging Analyses (TLAAs) for the W21H and W37 canisters shell, basket and canister lid threaded holes are addressed in Appendix B of this renewal application.

Corrosion and degradation of the W110 transfer cask and W180 storage cask are managed by their applicable AMP(s) during the extended storage period to ensure that no aging effect results in the loss of intended functions (e.g. structural support) that may affect retrievability of the canister from either cask. The W110 transfer cask is maintained and is inspected prior to use to ensure proper condition and safe operation.

TLAAs for the W110 transfer cask are addressed in Appendix B of this renewal application. This provides reasonable assurance that loaded W21H and W37 canisters can be transferred from a W180 storage cask to the W110 transfer cask and then to a transportation cask for removal offsite.

The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Section 11.3 titled Procedures for Unloading the Storage Cask contains the operating procedure for unloading a canister.

The SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specifications;

  • Establish administrative controls and procedures to assure that the spent fuel cladding does not exceed specified temperature limits during loading operations.
  • Specify canister helium backfill density requirements
  • Specify canister spent fuel loading requirements
  • Specify maximum storage cask and transfer cask drop heights and g loadings
  • Establish an Active Cooling System Program These unloading (retrievability) related Technical Specifications and procedures will continue to be applicable during the extended storage period.

Conclusion Thus, W21H and W37 canisters are designed for safe removal of spent fuel from storage for further processing or disposal through license renewal and the aging management of the design.

These retrievability functions support and meet the guidance of NUREG-2215 Section 3.4.3.8 Option A and Option B as noted above.

4. AGING MANAGEMENT TOLLGATES Introduction As noted in NUREG-1927 "Standard Review Plan for Renewal of Specific Licenses and Certificates of Compliance for Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel," Revision 1, the guidance was developed by the NRC in collaboration with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to develop guidance for the nuclear industry when preparing CoC renewal applications. NEI 14-03, Revision 1, Format, Content and Implementation Guidance for Dry Cask Storage Operations-Based Aging Management, includes guidance based on the continued evaluation of operating experience. One of the principles introduced in NEI 14-03 is the use of tollgates as a structured approach for incorporating operating experience and data from applicable research and industry initiatives into the aging evaluation process. NUREG-1927, Revision 1, Section 3.6.1.10, provides the associated guidance that may be used for CoC renewals.

NEI 14-03 provides a proposed framework for learning AMPs through the use of tollgates and defines tollgates as periodic points within the period of extended operation when licensees would be required to evaluate aggregate feedback from storage operations and perform and document a safety assessment that confirms the safe storage of spent fuel.

Tollgates are described as an additional set of in-service assessments beyond the normal continual assessment of operating experience, research, monitoring, and inspections on DSS component and ISFSI SSC performance that is part of normal ISFSI operations for licensees during the initial storage period as well as the period of extended operation.

In addition, NEI 14-03, Revision 1, also describes a framework for the aggregation and dissemination of operating experience across the industry through the use of an aging-related operating experience clearinghouse, titled the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID). Aggregate feedback will be assessed by each licensee regarding ISFSI components. and if necessary, take actions to:

  • Modify monitoring and inspection programs in AMPs described in Appendix A
  • Modify TLAAs described in Appendix B
  • Perform mitigation Per the guidance of NEI 14-03 the tollgate assessments address the following elements as applicable:

Element Description 1 Scope of This program manages the effects of aging for the surfaces of SENTRY W21H and Program W37 welded stainless steel canisters that are directly exposed to the sheltered W180 storage cask environment. The scope of the program includes the following canister subcomponents:

  • Upper and Lower Shell
  • Bottom Plate
  • Closure Lid
  • Closure Ring
  • Port Cover
  • Heat Dissipation Fins (W21H Configuration Only)

The following aging effects are addressed in this program:

Examinations are performed of the accessible portions of the welded stainless steel dry storage canister confinement boundary external surfaces for atmospheric deposits, localized corrosion, and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC).

In particular, examinations focus on accessible canister welds, weld heat-affected-zone areas, and known areas of the canister to which temporary supports or attachments were attached by welding and subsequently removed (based on available fabrication records) with the following attributes:

  • Locations where a crevice is formed on the canister surface.
  • Horizontal (+/-30-degree) surfaces where deposits may accumulate at a faster rate compared to vertical surfaces.
  • Canister surfaces that are cold relative to the average surface temperature.
  • Canister surfaces with higher amounts of atmospheric deposits.

Examinations can be performed in coordination of the ASME Section XI code inspections provided in Code Case N860, Examination Requirements and Acceptance Standards for Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation Containment Systems.

2 Preventive Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects. During fabrication of the Actions canisters, however, preventative actions were used to minimize corrosion and stress corrosion cracking by selection of stainless steel materials. In addition, fabrication controls were in place during canister fabrication to support improved canister corrosion resistance. Although these preventative actions minimize the likelihood of aging effects, they cannot replace condition monitoring during the storage period. As this AMP is based on condition monitoring, new preventative actions are not included.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 SENTRY Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 1 Scope of The scope of this Aging Management Program (AMP) covers the SENTRY Dry Storage Program System with high burnup fuel to operate through the extended storage period.

The SENTRY Dry Storage System accommodates high burnup fuel up to 65 GWd/MTU. SNF is initially stored in a dry high purity helium environment. SNF assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 65 GWd/MTU), are limited to cladding oxide thickness of 70 m. SNF assemblies stored in SENTRY canisters are limited to intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. Fuel assemblies that do not meet these criteria are considered damaged fuel and are not acceptable for storage in the W21H canister and are to be loaded in the W37 canister by means of W37 damaged fuel cans. Refer to SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.2.1 Spent Nuclear Fuel Specifications.

The program relies on the joint EPRI and DOE High Burnup Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project (HDRP) 2 conducted in accordance with the guidance in Appendix D of NUREG-1927, Rev 1, as a surrogate demonstration program that monitors the performance of high burnup fuel in dry storage.

The HDRP is a program designed to collect data from a SNF storage system containing high burnup fuel in a dry helium environment. The fuel to be used in the program includes four kinds of zirconium based cladding. The Research Project Cask is licensed to the temperature limits contained in ISG-11 Rev 3 3 , and loaded such that the fuel cladding temperature is as close to the limit as practicable.

The parameters of the surrogate demonstration program are applicable to the SENTRY Dry Storage System high burnup fuel, since the maximum system burnup limit (65 GWd/MTU) is on the order of those being tested, the cladding is of the same type as those being tested, and the temperature limits of the fuel are the same as those being tested .

2 Preventive During initial loading operations of the SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Actions Specification 3.1.3 Canister Vacuum Drying Pressure specifies The CANISTER cavity vacuum pressure following drying shall be 3 torr for 30 min., maintained for at least 30 minutes. Technical Specification 3.1.2 Canister Helium Backfill Density specifies the canister helium backfill density range and completion time. In addition, Technical Specification 5.3.6 Active Cooling System Program delineates the controls to determine the time at which the maximum allowable temperature in the fuel cladding or in other components are reached. SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.2.1 "Spent Nuclear Fuel Specifications" states for "assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 65 GWd/MtU), the cladding oxide 2

Element Description thickness is limited to 70 m" with the licensee being responsible to assure the specified criteria is met for the fuel assemblies placed in SENTRY canisters.

These requirements ensure that the high burnup fuel is stored in an inert environment, preventing cladding degradation due to oxidation mechanisms. In addition, fuel meets the guidance for temperature criteria noted NUREG-2215 guidance recommended limit of 117°F for cladding temperature variations during thermal cycles of loading operations involving high burnup fuel to minimizes the impacts of degradation mechanisms on the fuel. Refer to SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 5.4.2 Analytical Methods, Models, And Calculations for Loading Operations regarding established conservatism to maintain adequate temperatures in materials during the loading and unloading activities of the SENTRY canisters. SAR Section 5.4.2 addresses the NUREG-2215 guidance recommended limit of 117°F for cladding temperature variations during thermal cycles of loading operations involving high burnup fuel. There are no additional specific preventative actions included as part of the AMP.

3 Parameters The parameters monitored and inspected are as those described in the HDRP.

Monitored or Inspected 4 Detection of This AMP utilizes the surrogate demonstration program, HDRP, to monitor Aging Effects performance of high burnup fuel and detect aging effects as described in the HDRP for high burnup fuel. SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specification 5.3.6 Active Cooling System Program delineates the controls for fuel temperature limits to prevent degradation.

5 Monitoring As information / data from the HDRP or from other sources (such as testing or and Trending research results and scientific analyses) become available, the licensee will monitor, evaluate, and trend the information via its operating experience program and /or corrective action program to determine what actions should be taken.

The licensee will evaluate the information / data from the HDRP to determine whether the acceptance criteria in Element 6 of this AMP are met.

  • If all of the acceptance criteria are met, no further assessment is needed.
  • If any of the acceptance criteria are not met, the licensee must conduct additional assessments and implement appropriate corrective actions (see Element 7 of this AMP).

Formal evaluations of the aggregate information from the HDRP, available operating experience, NRC-generated communications, and other information will be performed as required.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 SENTRY Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 6 Acceptance The following criteria are to be addressed against the information obtained from the Criteria HDRP. The criteria are:

  • Hydrogen content - Maximum hydrogen content of the cover gas over the approved storage period should be extrapolated from the gas measurements to be less than the design-bases limit for hydrogen content
  • Moisture content - the moisture content in the canister, accounting for measurement uncertainty should be less than the expected upper-bound moisture content per the design-bases drying process
  • Fuel condition / performance - nondestructive and destructive examinations should confirm the design-bases fuel condition (i.e., no changes to the analyzed fuel configuration considered in the safety analyses of the approved design bases)

The design-bases characteristics of the SENTRY Dry Storage System and high burnup fuel parameters are addressed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.2.1 Spent Nuclear Fuel Specifications. It should be noted that Westinghouse Electric Company was initially involved in developing mathematical correlations based on this test data used for development of a creep-based methodology for the determination of allowable peak cladding temperature during dry storage as well as addressing cladding creep correlation presented in WCAP-15168 4 .

Note that because the cask design to be used in the HDRP is different from the SENTRY Dry Storage System, the acceptance criteria will be based on the Research Project Cask design bases. If the fuel in the Research Project Cask meets the applicable design bases, the fuel in the SENTRY Dry Storage System should also meet its design bases, as described in Element 1.

7 Corrective The corrective actions are implemented in accordance with the licensee's NRC Actions approved QA program. If the acceptance criteria are not met, the issue will be entered into the licensee corrective action program to assess fuel performance, assess the design-bases safety analyses, consider degraded fuel performance and determine the ability of the system to continue to perform its intended functions.

The corrective action program will identify necessary actions, changes to the existing AMP and determine if the condition is reportable.

In addition, the licensee will obtain the necessary NRC approval in the appropriate licensing / certification process for modification of the design bases to address any conditions outside of the approved design bases.

B.1 Identification of SENTRY Dry Storage System TLAAs Using the TLAA-identification criteria discussed in Section 3.2.4.1 of this CoC 1026 renewal application addenda, the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], CoC 1026 [2.6], and SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specifications [2.4] were reviewed and the following TLAAs were identified for further evaluation and disposition:

1. W21H Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion.
2. W37 Damaged Fuel Can Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion.
3. W37 and W21H Canister Shell and Basket Fatigue.
4. W37 and W21H Canister Closure Lid Threaded Holes Fatigue.
5. W110 Transfer Cask Subcomponent Fatigue.
6. W110 Transfer Cask Neutron Shielding Thermal Aging, Radiation Embrittlement and Boron Depletion.

B.2 W21H Neutron Absorber Boron Depletion As described and analyzed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Sections 7.3.2 and 8.16.1.5, the W21H canister incorporates metal matrix composite (MMC) plates for criticality control [ ](a,c). The criticality safety analysis conservatively used the minimum boron concentration and not the nominal value and further reduced it by 10% for analysis purposes. This analysis concluded that there are sufficient levels of boron present in the basket assembly neutron absorbing material to maintain criticality safety function over the 80-year W21H canister service life which encompasses B-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 93 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

B.3 W37 Damaged Fuel Can Boron Depletion As described and analyzed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Section 7.3.2 states that the W37 Damaged Fuel Can (DFC) incorporates MMC plates for criticality control [

](a,c). The criticality safety analysis 10 conservatively modeled the B content at 90% of the minimum boron concentration and not the nominal value for analysis purposes. This analysis concluded that there are sufficient levels of boron present in the DFC neutron absorbing material to maintain criticality safety function over the 80-year DFC service life which encompasses the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

B.4 W37 and W21H Canister Shell and Basket Fatigue B.4.1 W37 and W21H Canister Shell Fatigue The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Section 4.5.1.1.9 performs the fatigue evaluation for the W37 and W21H canister shell in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code [B.1]

Subsection WC-3219 Fatigue Evaluation. WC-3219 states If cyclic loadings are identified in the Design Specifications, the need for a fatigue analysis shall be determined in accordance with WC-3219.1.

Subsection WC-3219.1, Rules to Determine Need for Fatigue Analysis of Integral Parts of Containments states A fatigue analysis need not be made, provided all of Condition A (WC-3219.1.1) or all of Condition B (WC-3219.1.2) is met. If neither Condition A nor Condition B is met, a detailed fatigue analysis shall be made in accordance with the rules of Section III Appendices, Mandatory Appendix XIII for those parts which do not satisfy the conditions. The rules of Condition A or Condition B are applicable to all integral parts of the containment, including integrally reinforced type nozzles.

Subsection WC-3219.1.1 Condition A states Fatigue analysis is not mandatory for materials having a specified minimum tensile strength not exceeding 80.0 ksi (550 MPa) when the total of the expected number of cycles of types (a) plus (b) plus (c) plus (d), defined below, does not exceed 1,000 cycles:

1. is the expected design number for full range pressure cycles
2. is the expected number of operating pressure cycles in which the range of pressure variation exceeds 20% of the Design Pressure. Cycles in which the pressure variation does not exceed 20% of the Design Pressure are not limited in number. Pressure cycles caused by fluctuations in atmospheric conditions need not be considered.
3. is the effective number of changes in metal temperature between any two adjacent points in the containment, including nozzles. Temperature cycles caused by fluctuations in atmospheric conditions need not be considered.
4. for containments with welds between materials having different coefficients of expansion, is the number of temperature cycles, which causes the value of (1 2) T to exceed 0.00034, where 1 and 2 are the mean coefficients of thermal expansion, 1/°F (1/°C) and B-2 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 94 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 T is the operating temperature range, °F (°C).

These four conditions are addressed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 4.5.1.1.9 for the W37 and W21H canister shell fatigue evaluation. Given that they have a specified minimum tensile strength not exceeding 80.0 ksi with a total of 231 cycles, which is less than the allowable 1,000 cycles, this demonstrates that the canister shells are exempted from fatigue evaluation and are not a concern for the canister pressure boundary components. This evaluation is performed using a canister shell service life of 80 years which encompasses the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

B.4.2 W37 and W21H Canister Basket Fatigue The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Section 4.5.1.2.6 performs the fatigue evaluation for the W37 and W21H canister basket assembly in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code

[B.1] Subsection WD-3222.5(d) Structures Not Requiring Analysis for Cyclic Operation states that An analysis for cyclic operation is not required, and it may be assumed that the limits on peak stress intensities, as governed by fatigue, have been satisfied for a structure by compliance with the applicable requirements for material, design, fabrication, and examination of this Subsection, provided the specified normal loadings of the structure, or portion thereof, meets all the conditions stipulated in (1) through (4) below.

The four ASME Code Subsection conditions are:

1. Temperature Difference-Loading and Unloading of Contents
2. Temperature Difference-Normal Conditions
3. Temperature Difference-Dissimilar Materials
4. Mechanical Loads These four conditions are addressed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 4.5.1.2.6 for the W37 and W21H canister basket assembly fatigue evaluation to demonstrate that fatigue is not a concern. This evaluation is performed using a canister basket service life of 80 years. The results of this evaluation are applicable for the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

B.5 W37 and W21H Canister Closure Lid Threaded Holes Fatigue The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Section 4.5.1.1.10 addresses the fatigue evaluation for the W37 and W21H canister closure lid threaded holes in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code [B.2] Mandatory Appendices XIII-3520 Procedure for Fatigue Analysis. Appendix XIII-3520 in part states that the ability of the component to withstand the specified cyclic service without fatigue failure shall be determined as provided in this subarticle. The determination shall be made on the basis of the stresses at a point, and the allowable stress cycles shall be adequate for the specified Service Loadings at every point. Only the stress differences due to service cycles as specified in the Design Specifications need be considered. The following four conditions are evaluated:

(a) Stress Differences B-3 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 95 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 (b) Local Structural Discontinuities.

(c) Design Fatigue Curves.

(d) Effect of Elastic Modulus.

These four conditions are addressed in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 4.5.1.1.10 for the W37 and W21H canister closure lid threaded holes fatigue evaluation with a result that the number of admissible cycles against fatigue failure of the threaded holes is greater than 1x1011 cycles and concludes that the component will not fail because of cyclic loading during the canister closure lid design life of 80 years and therefore fatigue is not a concern. The results of this evaluation are applicable for the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

B.6 W110 Transfer Cask Subcomponent Fatigue The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Sections 4.5.4.4 and 8.16.2.1 address the fatigue evaluation for the W110 transfer cask subcomponents in accordance with the requirements of ASME Code [B.2] Mandatory Appendix XIII-3520 Procedure for Fatigue Analysis. Appendix XIII-3520 in part states that the ability of the component to withstand the specified cyclic service without fatigue failure shall be determined as provided in this subarticle. The determination shall be made on the basis of the stresses at a point, and the allowable stress cycles shall be adequate for the specified Service Loadings at every point. Only the stress differences due to service cycles as specified in the Design Specifications need be considered. The following four conditions are evaluated:

(a) Stress Differences (b) Local Structural Discontinuities.

(c) Design Fatigue Curves.

(d) Effect of Elastic Modulus This evaluation is performed for the following W110 transfer cask subcomponents:

  • Bottom Lid Halves - (SAR Section 4.5.4.4.1).
  • Bottom Lid Halves Bolts - (SAR Section 4.5.4.4.2).
  • Lifting Feature Bolts - (SAR Section 4.5.4.4.3).
  • Lifting Lug on the Lifting Feature - (SAR Section 4.5.4.4.4).
  • Upper Flange Threaded Holes for Lifting Feature Bolts - (SAR Section 4.5.4.4.5).

These four conditions from the ASME Mandatory Appendix XIII-3520 are addressed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR for W110 transfer cask subcomponent fatigue. The fatigue evaluation determines the number of admissible cycles against fatigue for each of the subcomponents before fatigue failure is a risk. The following summarized the fatigue evaluation results:

  • Bottom Lid Halves - 39,516 cycles.

B-4 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 96 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020

  • Bottom Lid Halves Bolts - 934 cycles.
  • Lifting Feature Bolts - 12,230 cycles.
  • Lifting Lug on the Lifting Feature - 869 cycles.
  • Upper Flange Threaded Holes for the Lifting Feature Bolts- greater than 1 x 10 11 cycles.

The results indicate the number of loading cycles the subcomponents can withstand before fatigue is a risk within the 60-year service life of the transfer cask. As shown above, the bottom lid halves bolts and the lifting lug on the lifting feature have cycles of 934 and 869 respectively. As identified in SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 8.16.2.1, if the transfer cask loading cycles within the 60 year service life approaches the cycles for these two components fatigue failure is a risk and that these subcomponents will be inspected regularly in order to detect any occurrence of defects that require repair or replacement. The above admissible cycles against fatigue failure show that the W110 transfer cask subcomponents are acceptable for the 60-year design life encompassing the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

B.7 W110 Transfer Cask Neutron Shielding Thermal Aging, Radiation Embrittlement, and Boron Depletion The W110 transfer cask incorporates [ ](a,c) neutron shielding material [

(a,c)

] encased between stainless steel shells and rings welded together. The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3], Section 8.9.1 addresses the W110 transfer cask neutron shielding material, and SENTRY SAR Section 8.16.2.2 addresses the material degradation

[

](a,c).

The infrequent use of the transfer cask and relatively low neutron flux to which the transfer cask materials are subjected mitigate the risk of radiation embrittlement or degradation of the casks shielding materials which could impair the transfer casks intended safety function for the transfer cask 60-year service life which encompasses the extended CoC 1026 license renewal period of 40 years.

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 APPENDIX C: SENTRY SYSTEM INSPECTIONS Introduction The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR [2.3] Section 12.2, identifies the inspection requirements for the storage system once a storage cask has been placed on the ISFSI storage pad. The following inspection requirements are identified in the SAR for the SENTRY Dry Storage System components utilized for storage of SNF at the ISFSI.

W21H and W37 Canisters The SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR states that the W21H and W37 canisters rely on no mechanical or moving parts once they are in their storage configuration. The exposed materials are corrosion-resistant stainless steel. There are no prescribed maintenance program inspections necessary during the initial 20-year storage period. No inspection of a loaded canister during the initial 20 year storage period is required due to the integrity of the canister, as verified during fabrication, acceptance testing, and canister closure. Periodic monitoring of the W180 storage cask in accordance with the Technical Specifications provides added assurance that fuel cladding degradation does not occur.

W180 Storage Cask The exposed surface of the W180 storage cask is to be inspected annually for surface defects such as concrete cracking, spalling, or chipping, and for carbon steel corrosion or coating deterioration.

Storage cask vent screens are visually inspected periodically and repaired or replaced as necessary.

In addition, every five (5) years for the first W180 storage cask placed into service, the interior surface is to be inspected for damage by direct or indirect visual methods.

W110 Transfer Cask Prior to each use, the W110 transfer cask is it is to be visually inspected for apparent defects or damage. The inspection is to evaluate the condition of the cask relative to sealing surfaces, interior surface condition and cleanliness, coatings, visual integrity of the welds, damage to the lifting features, and general fit-up of the components. In addition, a surface contamination survey is to be performed on the transfer cask interior.

The rupture discs (or relief valves), annulus inflatable seals, auxiliary shielding and annulus sealing ring including O-ring (for W21H configuration The bottom sealing lid O-ring and detachable lid bolt sealing washers are also to be inspected prior to each use and replaced as necessary. In addition, other transfer cask bolts and threaded holes are to be inspected prior to each use and proper lubrication of transfer cask threaded connections is to be verified. The torque on the lifting feature bolts is to be verified before each use of the transfer cask.

Inspection for defects in accessible transfer cask materials and welds is to be performed annually, and after performing major repairs to the transfer cask. The lifting feature lugs are to be dye penetrant tested or examined with an equivalent NDE method and the bolts are to be replaced or C-1 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 99 of 135

SENTRY System CoC Renewal Application Addenda Docket No. 72-1026 October 2020 examined with an appropriate NDE method. The tests and inspections of the lifting feature lugs are to be in accordance with ANSI N14.6 [2.9] to verify that no permanent deformation has occurred since the last inspection. The functionality of the transfer cask threaded components and quick-connect fittings is to be verified.

Baseline Inspections Baseline inspections are to be performed on the in-scope SENTRY Dry Storage System SSC at the ISFSI site at the time the system enters the period of extended storage. The baseline inspection meets the criteria defined in the AMPs in Appendix A. The first baseline inspection should occur within one year after the 20 th anniversary of the initial W180 storage cask loading at the site.

Subsequent inspections will occur on a 5 year frequency (+/- 25%) starting from the baseline date.

This schedule applies to the canister external inspection and the storage cask internal inspection.

For the storage cask external inspections, the first baseline inspection should occur within one year after the 20 th anniversary of the initial W180 storage cask loading at the site. Future inspections will occur with a 1 year frequency (+/- 25%) starting from the baseline date.

Other AMP inspections are pre-use type inspections for which the baseline inspection will occur before the first use of the applicable component after it has been in service more than the initial 20 year storage period.

Note that the High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP does not have an inspection component and the schedule is based on the demonstration project as described in the AMP in Appendix A.

The tenn of the 10 CFR 72, Subpart L (Reference 17), Ce1tificate of Compliance granted by the NRC is for a period not to exceed 40 years. Nonetheless, the SENTRY W37 and W21H canisters are designed for 80 years of service, while satisfying the conse1vative design requirements defined in Chapter 3, including the regulat01y requirements of 10 CFR 72. Design features to suppo1t the integrity of the canister and the contained SNF assemblies throughout the SO-year se1vice life of the canister include:

  • Design, fabrication, and inspection of the SENTRY canisters m accordance with the applicable requirements of the ASME Code
  • Fabrication and inspection perf01111ed in accordance with the Quality Assurance program discussed in Chapter 15.
  • Use of materials with known characteristics, verified through rigorous inspection and testing as described in Chapter 12.

TSs have been developed and imposed on the canisters to assure that the integrity of the canisters and the contained SNF assemblies is maintained throughout the SO-year service life of the canisters.

The principal design considerations bearing on the adequacy of the SENTRY W3 7 and W21H canisters for the design basis service life and the means in which they are addressed are discussed in the subsections below.

8.16.1.1 Corrosion All canister materials that are susceptible to conosion, or that come in contact with the SNF assemblies, are fabricated from c01rnsion-resistant austenitic stainless steel. Additionally, the associated weld filler metal used for the canisters is selected to provide the same level of conosion protection as the base metal. The conosion-resistant characteristics of such materials for d1y SNF storage canister applications, as well as the protection offered by these materials aga inst other material degradation effects such as radiation embrittlement, aging, and creep, have been demonstrated over more than 50 years in similar storage products. The canisters are vacuum dried to remove all oxidizing liquids and gases and subsequently back.filled with d1y, ine1t helium at the time of closure to maintain an inert atmosphere in the canister that provides conosion protection for the canister basket assemblies and SNF cladding throughout the d1y storage period. The prese1vation of this non-c01rnsive atmosphere is assured by the canisters confinement boundaiy integrity as described in Chapter 9.

SENTRY' Dry Storage System SAR Document No. WSNF-230 Docket No. 72-1026 INSERT A - SENTRYTM DSS SAR Section 8.16 (3 Pages) 8.16.0 Aging Management Process In accordance with the aging management guidance in NUREG-1927 [Reference 15], the aging management process is based on the continuation of a Dry Storage Systems (DSSs) approved design basis throughout a period of extended dry fuel storage. The identification and management of potential aging degradation mechanisms for different material/environment combinations is based on the guidance in NUREG-2214 [Reference 18].

8.16.0.1 Scoping Evaluation The first step in the aging management process is to perform a scoping evaluation which identifies those Structures, Systems and Components (SSC) of the DSS that are within the scope of the aging management process and require further evaluation for potential aging effects.

The scoping evaluation of the DSS is based on the process described in NUREG-1927 [Reference 15]. The process determines which SSCs (and associated subcomponents) are within the scope of the aging management process. SSCs are considered within the scope of the aging management process if they satisfy either of the following criteria:

(1) They are classified as Important-To-Safety (ITS), as they are relied on to do one of the following safety functions:

i. Maintain the conditions required by the regulations or CoC to store spent fuel safely, ii. Prevent damage to the spent fuel during handling and storage, or iii. Provide reasonable assurance that spent fuel can be received, handled, packaged, stored, and retrieved without undue risk to the health and safety of the public These SSCs ensure that important safety functions are met for (1) confinement, (2) radiation shielding, (3) sub-criticality control, (4) heat-removal capability, (5) structural integrity, and (6) retrievability.

(2) They are classified as Not-Important-To-Safety (NITS), but, according to the design basis, its failure could prevent fulfillment of a function that is ITS.

The scoping evaluation process (1) defines the intended function of each SSC subcomponent and (2) differentiates SSC subcomponents per scoping criteria (1) and (2), as defined above. This information is tabulated and described in the scoping evaluation to determine that SSC subcomponents are not missing from the scoping evaluation; the SSC subcomponent naming is consistent with the design bases; and intended functions are properly described by comparing the results of the scoping evaluation to appropriate SAR drawings or tables.

SENTRY' Dry Storage System SAR Document No. WSNF-230 Docket No. 72-1026 8.16.0.2 Aging Management Review The next step in the aging management process is to conduct an aging management review (AMR).

The purpose of the AMR is to assess the need for aging management activities (AMAs) for the SSCs determined to be within the scope of the aging management process. The AMR addresses aging mechanisms and effects that could adversely affect the ability of the SSCs, including their associated subcomponents, to perform their intended safety functions during a period of extended dry fuel storage.

Utilizing the guidance of NUREG-1927 [Reference 15] along with that provided by NUREG-2214

[Reference 18], the AMR addresses the following technical bases and considerations:

  • DSS operating experience
  • identification of materials and environments of SSCs and associated subcomponents within the scope of the AMR
  • identification of aging mechanisms and the effects requiring management
  • identification of time-limited aging analyses (TLAAs), if applicable, and aging management programs (AMPs) for managing the effects of aging for SSCs within scope After the identification of DSS operating experience and materials and environments, the next AMR step involves determining the aging effects requiring management. Aging effects requiring management are those that could cause a loss of SSC intended function. If degradation of a subcomponent would be insufficient to cause a loss of function or the relevant conditions do not exist for the aging effect to occur and propagate, then no aging management is required. These aging effects are determined based on a review of:
  • the aging effects described in NUREG-2214 Chapter 3
  • industry technical literature regarding the combinations of SSC materials and environments
  • industry operating experience
  • maintenance and inspection records from DSS licensees (such as condition reports and inspection reports)

Both potential aging effects that could theoretically occur, as well as aging effects that have occurred based upon industry operating experience are considered. The AMR process identifies both aging effects and the aging mechanism causing that effect. The aging effects and mechanisms for each SSC are broken down to the subcomponent level.

Finally, aging management activities such as TLAAs and AMPs are established to manage the effect of SSC aging during an extended period of storage. The applicable SENTRY Dry Storage System TLAAs and the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR sections where these TLAAs are analyzed are listed in Table 8.16-1.

Element Description 1 Scope of This program manages the effects of aging for the surfaces of SENTRY W21H and Program W37 welded stainless steel canisters that are directly exposed to the sheltered W180 storage cask environment. The scope of the program includes the following canister subcomponents:

  • Upper and Lower Shell
  • Bottom Plate
  • Closure Lid
  • Closure Ring
  • Port Cover
  • Heat Dissipation Fins (W21H Configuration Only)

The following aging effects are addressed in this program:

Examinations are performed of the accessible portions of the welded stainless steel dry storage canister confinement boundary external surfaces for atmospheric deposits, localized corrosion, and Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC).

In particular, examinations focus on accessible canister welds, weld heat-affected-zone areas, and known areas of the canister to which temporary supports or attachments were attached by welding and subsequently removed (based on available fabrication records) with the following attributes:

  • Locations where a crevice is formed on the canister surface.
  • Horizontal (+/-30-degree) surfaces where deposits may accumulate at a faster rate compared to vertical surfaces.
  • Canister surfaces that are cold relative to the average surface temperature.
  • Canister surfaces with higher amounts of atmospheric deposits.

Examinations can be performed in coordination of the ASME Section XI code inspections provided in Code Case N860, Examination Requirements and Acceptance Standards for Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage and Transportation Containment Systems.

2 Preventive Condition monitoring is utilized to manage aging effects. During fabrication of the Actions canisters, however, preventative actions were used to minimize corrosion and stress corrosion cracking by selection of stainless steel materials. In addition, fabrication controls were in place during canister fabrication to support improved canister corrosion resistance. Although these preventative actions minimize the likelihood of aging effects, they cannot replace condition monitoring during the storage period. As this AMP is based on condition monitoring, new preventative actions are not included.

Element Description 1 Scope of The scope of this Aging Management Program (AMP) covers the SENTRY Dry Storage Program System with high burnup fuel to operate through the extended storage period.

The SENTRY Dry Storage System accommodates high burnup fuel up to 65 GWd/MTU. SNF is initially stored in a dry high purity helium environment. SNF assemblies with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 65 GWd/MTU), are limited to cladding oxide thickness of 70 m. SNF assemblies stored in SENTRY canisters are limited to intact zircaloy-clad fuel with no known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. Fuel assemblies that do not meet these criteria are considered damaged fuel and are not acceptable for storage in the W21H canister and are to be loaded in the W37 canister by means of W37 damaged fuel cans. Refer to SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.2.1 Spent Nuclear Fuel Specifications.

The program relies on the joint EPRI and DOE High Burnup Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project (HDRP) 5 conducted in accordance with the guidance in Appendix D of NUREG-1927, Rev 1, as a surrogate demonstration program that monitors the performance of high burnup fuel in dry storage.

The HDRP is a program designed to collect data from a SNF storage system containing high burnup fuel in a dry helium environment. The fuel to be used in the program includes four kinds of zirconium based cladding. The Research Project Cask is licensed to the temperature limits contained in ISG-11 Rev 3 6 , and loaded such that the fuel cladding temperature is as close to the limit as practicable.

The parameters of the surrogate demonstration program are applicable to the SENTRY Dry Storage System high burnup fuel, since the maximum system burnup limit (65 GWd/MTU) is on the order of those being tested, the cladding is of the same type as those being tested, and the temperature limits of the fuel are the same as those being tested .

Element Description with burnup exceeding 45 GWd/MTU (up to 65 GWd/MtU), the cladding oxide thickness is limited to 70 m" with the licensee being responsible to assure the specified criteria is met for the fuel assemblies placed in SENTRY canisters.

These requirements ensure that the high burnup fuel is stored in an inert environment, preventing cladding degradation due to oxidation mechanisms. In addition, fuel meets the guidance for temperature criteria noted NUREG-2215 guidance recommended limit of 117°F for cladding temperature variations during thermal cycles of loading operations involving high burnup fuel to minimizes the impacts of degradation mechanisms on the fuel. Refer to SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 5.4.2 Analytical Methods, Models, And Calculations for Loading Operations regarding established conservatism to maintain adequate temperatures in materials during the loading and unloading activities of the SENTRY canisters. SAR Section 5.4.2 addresses the NUREG-2215 guidance recommended limit of 117°F for cladding temperature variations during thermal cycles of loading operations involving high burnup fuel. There are no additional specific preventative actions included as part of the AMP.

3 Parameters The parameters monitored and inspected are as those described in the HDRP.

Monitored or Inspected 4 Detection of This AMP utilizes the surrogate demonstration program, HDRP, to monitor Aging Effects performance of high burnup fuel and detect aging effects as described in the HDRP for high burnup fuel. SENTRY Dry Storage System Technical Specification 5.3.6 Active Cooling System Program delineates the controls for fuel temperature limits to prevent degradation.

5 Monitoring As information / data from the HDRP or from other sources (such as testing or and Trending research results and scientific analyses) become available, the licensee will monitor, evaluate, and trend the information via its operating experience program and /or corrective action program to determine what actions should be taken.

The licensee will evaluate the information / data from the HDRP to determine whether the acceptance criteria in Element 6 of this AMP are met.

  • If all of the acceptance criteria are met, no further assessment is needed.
  • If any of the acceptance criteria are not met, the licensee must conduct additional assessments and implement appropriate corrective actions (see Element 7 of this AMP).

Formal evaluations of the aggregate information from the HDRP, available operating experience, NRC-generated communications, and other information will be performed as required.

SENTRY' Dry Storage System SAR Document No. WSNF-230 Docket No. 72-1026 Table 12A.1-5 SENTRY Canister High-Burnup Fuel Monitoring and Assessment AMP (4 pages)

Element Description 6 Acceptance The following criteria are to be addressed against the information obtained from the Criteria HDRP. The criteria are:

  • Hydrogen content - Maximum hydrogen content of the cover gas over the approved storage period should be extrapolated from the gas measurements to be less than the design-bases limit for hydrogen content
  • Moisture content - the moisture content in the canister, accounting for measurement uncertainty should be less than the expected upper-bound moisture content per the design-bases drying process
  • Fuel condition / performance - nondestructive and destructive examinations should confirm the design-bases fuel condition (i.e., no changes to the analyzed fuel configuration considered in the safety analyses of the approved design bases)

The design-bases characteristics of the SENTRY Dry Storage System and high burnup fuel parameters are addressed in the SENTRY Dry Storage System SAR Section 3.2.1 Spent Nuclear Fuel Specifications. It should be noted that Westinghouse Electric Company was initially involved in developing mathematical correlations based on this test data used for development of a creep-based methodology for the determination of allowable peak cladding temperature during dry storage as well as addressing cladding creep correlation presented in WCAP-15168 7 .

Note that because the cask design to be used in the HDRP is different from the SENTRY Dry Storage System, the acceptance criteria will be based on the Research Project Cask design bases. If the fuel in the Research Project Cask meets the applicable design bases, the fuel in the SENTRY Dry Storage System should also meet its design bases, as described in Element 1.

7 Corrective The corrective actions are implemented in accordance with the licensee's NRC Actions approved QA program. If the acceptance criteria are not met, the issue will be entered into the licensee corrective action program to assess fuel performance, assess the design-bases safety analyses, consider degraded fuel performance and determine the ability of the system to continue to perform its intended functions.

The corrective action program will identify necessary actions, changes to the existing AMP and determine if the condition is reportable.

In addition, the licensee will obtain the necessary NRC approval in the appropriate licensing / certification process for modification of the design bases to address any conditions outside of the approved design bases.

Element Description 8 Confirmation The confirmation process is commensurate with the licensee's NRC approved QA Process program. The QA program ensures that required corrective actions are completed and effective in accordance with the program to preclude repetition of significant conditions adverse to quality.

9 Administrative Administrative controls are in accordance with the licensee's QA program and Controls include a formal review and approval processes, document control and record retention requirements. This AMP will be updated as necessary based on the toll gate assessments.

10 Operating As the program continues, operating experience will be evaluated including:

Experience

  • internal and industrywide condition reports
  • vendor-issued safety bulletins
  • NRC Information Notices 8 Westinghouse Page 12A-19 WESTINGHOUSE NON-PROPRIETARY CLASS 3 Addenda Page 130 of 135

SENTRY' Dry Storage System SAR Document No. WSNF-230 Docket No. 72-1026 12A.2 Tollgates As noted in NUREG-1927 "Standard Review Plan for Renewal of Specific Licenses and Certificates of Compliance for Dry Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel" (Reference 14), the guidance was developed by the NRC as an ongoing effort (and as of this CoC renewal application addenda, still is) with efforts by the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) to develop guidance for the nuclear industry when preparing CoC renewal applications. NEI 14-03, Revision 1, Format, Content and Implementation Guidance for Dry Cask Storage Operations-Based Aging Management (Reference 15), included guidance on the continued evaluation of operating experience. One of the principles introduced in NEI 14-03 is the use of tollgates as a structured approach for assessing operating experience and data from applicable research and industry initiatives.

NUREG-1927, Section 3.6.1.10, provides the associated guidance that may be used for CoC renewals.

NEI 14-03 provides a proposed framework for learning AMPs through the use of tollgates and defines tollgates as periodic points within the period of extended operation when licensees would be required to evaluate aggregate feedback and perform and document a safety assessment that confirms the safe storage of spent fuel. Tollgates are described as an additional set of in-service assessments beyond the normal continual assessment of operating experience, research, monitoring, and inspections on DSS component and ISFSI SSC performance that is part of normal ISFSI operations for licensees during the initial storage period as well as the period of extended operation.

In addition, NEI 14-03, Revision 1, also describes a framework for the aggregation and dissemination of operating experience across the industry through the use of an aging-related operating experience clearinghouse, titled the ISFSI Aging Management Institute of Nuclear Power Operations Database (ISFSI AMID).Aggregate feedback will be assessed by each licensee regarding ISFSI components and if necessary, take actions to:

  • Modify monitoring and inspection programs in AMPs
  • Perform mitigation Tollgate assessment address the following elements as applicable:

Frequency:

  • Established from technical basis
  • Reflects aging mechanism initiation and rate of progression
  • Reflects risk significance
  • Considers findings from prior tollgate assessments Content of tollgate assessment:
  • Summary of research findings, operating experience, monitoring data, and inspection results
  • Aggregate impact of findings (including trends)
  • Consistency with the assumptions and inputs the TLAAs
  • Effectiveness of AMPs
  • Corrective actions, including changes to AMPs
  • Summary and conclusions A schedule for these tollgate assessments is shown in Table 12A.2-1.
