MPC TRANSFER MPC TRANSFER begins when the MPC is lifted off the TRANSFER CASK bottom lid and ends when the MPC is supported from beneath by the OVERPACK or VVM (or the reverse).

NON-FUEL HARDWARE NON-FUEL HARDWARE is defined as Burnable Poison Rod Assemblies (BPRAs), Thimble Plug Devices (TPDs), Control Rod Assemblies (CRAs),

Axial Power Shaping Rods (APSRs), Wet Annular Burnable Absorbers (WABAs), Rod Cluster Control Assemblies (RCCAs), Control Element Assemblies (CEAs), Neutron Source Assemblies (NSAs), water displacement guide tube plugs, orifice rod assemblies, instrument tube tie rods (ITTRs),

vibration suppressor inserts, and components of these devices such as individual rods.

OVERPACK OVERPACKs are the casks which receive and contain the sealed MPCs for interim storage on the ISFSI. They provide gamma and neutron shielding, and in some versions, may provide for ventilated air flow to promote heat transfer from the MPC to the environs. The term OVERPACK does not include the TRANSFER CASK.

PLANAR-AVERAGE INITIAL PLANAR AVERAGE INITIAL ENRICHMENT is the ENRICHMENT average of the distributed fuel rod initial enrichments within a given axial plane of the assembly lattice.

REDUNDANT PORT REDUNDANT PORT COVER DESIGN refers to two COVER DESIGN independent port cover plates per port opening, where each port cover plate contains multiple pass closure welds.

REPAIRED/RECONSTITUTED Spent nuclear fuel assembly which contains dummy FUEL ASSEMBLY fuel rod(s) that displaces an amount of water greater than or equal to the original fuel rod(s) and/or which contains structural repairs so it can be handled by normal means. If irradiated dummy stainless steel rods are present in the fuel assembly, the dummy/replacement rods will be considered in the site specific dose calculations.

Attachment 7 of Holtec Letter 5014917 Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)

UNLOADING OPERATIONS UNLOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on an SFSC to be unloaded of the contained fuel assemblies. UNLOADING OPERATIONS begin when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is no longer suspended from or secured on the transporter and end when the last fuel assembly is removed from the SFSC.

UNLOADING OPERATIONS does not include MPC TRANSFER.

UNVENTILATED OVERPACK The UNVENTILATED OVERPACK is an aboveground OVERPACK which receives and contains the sealed MPC for interim storage at the ISFSI. The UNVENTILATED OVERPACK design is characterized by its absence of inlet and outlet ventilation passages.

VENTILATED OVERPACK The VENTILATED OVERPACK is an aboveground OVERPACK which receives and contains the sealed MPC for interim storage at the ISFSI. The VENTILATED OVERPACK provides passages for airflow to promote heat transfer from the MPC.

ZR ZR means any zirconium-based fuel cladding or fuel channel material authorized for use in a commercial nuclear power plant reactor.
