1 DEFINITIONS, USE, AND APPLICATION 1.1 Definitions The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications and Bases.
Term Definition ACTIONS ACTIONS shall be that part of a Specification that prescribes Required Actions to be taken under designated Conditions within specified Completion Times.
BLEU FUEL Blended Low Enriched Uranium (BLEU) fuel is the same as a commercial spent fuel but with a higher cobalt impurity.
DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES are fuel assemblies with known or suspected cladding defects, as determined by a review of records, greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks, empty fuel rod locations that are not filled with dummy fuel rods, missing structural components such as grid spacers, whose structural integrity has been impaired such that geometric rearrangement of fuel or gross failure of the cladding is expected based on engineering evaluations, or that cannot be handled by normal means.
Fuel assemblies that cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage are considered FUEL DEBRIS.
DAMAGED FUEL CONTAINER DFCs are specially designed enclosures for DAMAGED (DFC) FUEL ASSEMBLIES or FUEL DEBRIS which permit gaseous and liquid media to escape while minimizing dispersal of gross particulates. DFCs authorized for use in the HI-STORM FW System are as follows:
- 1. Holtec Generic BWR design
- 2. Holtec Generic PWR design Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-5
Term Definition DAMAGED FUEL DFIs are specially designed barriers installed at the top and bottom of the storage cell space which permit flow of ISOLATOR (DFI) gaseous and liquid media while preventing the potential migration of fissile material from fuel assemblies with cladding damage. DFIs are used ONLY with damaged fuel assemblies which can be handled by normal means and whose structural integrity is such that geometric rearrangement of fuel is not expected. Damaged fuel stored in DFIs may contain missing or partial fuel rods and/or fuel rods with known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks.
FUEL DEBRIS FUEL DEBRIS is ruptured fuel rods, severed rods, loose fuel pellets, containers or structures that are supporting these loose fuel assembly parts, or fuel assemblies with known or suspected defects which cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage.
FUEL BUILDING The FUEL BUILDING is the site-specific power plant facility, governed by the regulations of 10 CFR Part 50, where the loaded OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is transferred to or from the transporter.
GROSSLY BREACHED SPENT Spent nuclear fuel rod with a cladding defect that could lead FUEL ROD to the release of fuel particulate greater than the average size fuel fragment for that particular assembly. A gross cladding breach may be confirmed by visual examination, through a review of reactor operating records indicating the presence of heavy metal isotopes, or other acceptable inspection means.
LOADING OPERATIONS LOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on an OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK while it is being loaded with fuel assemblies. LOADING OPERATIONS begin when the first fuel assembly is placed in the MPC and end when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is suspended from or secured on the transporter. LOADING OPERATIONS does not include MPC TRANSFER.
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-6
Term Definition MULTI-PURPOSE CANISTER MPCs are the sealed spent nuclear fuel canisters which (MPC) consist of a honeycombed fuel basket contained in a cylindrical canister shell which is welded to a baseplate, lid with welded port cover plates, and closure ring. The MPC provides the confinement boundary for the contained radioactive materials.
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 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 COVER REDUNDANT PORT COVER DESIGN refers to two DESIGN independent port cover plates per port opening, where each port cover plate contains multiple pass closure welds.
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-7
Term Definition REPAIRED/RECONSTITUTED Spent nuclear fuel assembly which contains dummy fuel FUEL ASSEMBLY rods that displaces an amount of water greater than or equal to the original fuel rods 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.
SPENT FUEL STORAGE CASKS SFSCs are containers approved for the storage of spent (SFSCs) fuel assemblies at the ISFSI. The HI-STORM FW SFSC System consists of the OVERPACK and its integral MPC.
STORAGE OPERATIONS STORAGE OPERATIONS include all licensed activities that are performed at the ISFSI while an SFSC containing spent fuel is situated within the ISFSI perimeter. STORAGE OPERATIONS does not include MPC TRANSFER.
TRANSFER CASK TRANSFER CASKs are containers designed to contain the MPC during and after loading of spent fuel assemblies, and prior to and during unloading and to transfer the MPC to or from the OVERPACK.
TRANSPORT OPERATIONS TRANSPORT OPERATIONS include all licensed activities performed on an OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK loaded with one or more fuel assemblies when it is being moved after LOADING OPERATIONS or before UNLOADING OPERATIONS. TRANSPORT OPERATIONS begin when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is first suspended from or secured on the transporter and end when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is at its destination and no longer secured on or suspended from the transporter.
TRANSPORT OPERATIONS includes MPC TRANSFER.
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-8
Term Definition UNDAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY UNDAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES are: a) fuel assemblies without known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks and which can be handled by normal means; or b) a BWR fuel assembly with an intact channel, a maximum planar average initial of 3.3 wt% U-235, without known or suspected GROSSLY BREACHED SPENT FUEL RODS, and which can be handled by normal means. An UNDAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY may be a REPAIRED/RECONSTITUTED FUEL ASSEMBLY.
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 UNVERNTILATED 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.
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-9
1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.
Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors constitutes logical conventions with specific meanings.
BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action. The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action). The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.
When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.
(continued)
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-10
EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors.
EXAMPLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 VERIFY . . .
AND A.2 Restore . . .
In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions A.1 and A.2 must be completed.
(continued)
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-11
EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.2-2 (continued)
ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Stop . . .
OR A.2.1 Verify . . .
AND A.2.2.1 Reduce . . .
OR A.2.2.2 Perform . . .
OR A.3 Remove . . .
This example represents a more complicated use of logical connectors.
Required Actions A.1, A.2, and A.3 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed as indicated by the use of the logical connector OR and the left justified placement. Any one of these three ACTIONS may be chosen.
If A.2 is chosen, then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector AND. Required Action A.2.2 is met by performing A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2. The indented position of the logical connector OR indicates that A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed.
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-12
1.3 Completion Times PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.
BACKGROUND Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Times(s).
DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g.,
equipment or variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the HI-STORM 100 System is in a specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time. An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the HI-STORM 100 System is not within the LCO Applicability.
Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition unless specifically stated.
The Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.
(continued)
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-13
EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of Completion Times with different types of Conditions and changing Conditions.
EXAMPLE 1.3-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME B. Required B.1 Perform Action B.1 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Action and associated AND Completion Time not met. B.2 Perform Action B.2 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> Condition B has two Required Actions. Each Required Action has its own separate Completion Time. Each Completion Time is referenced to the time that Condition B is entered.
The Required Actions of Condition B are to complete action B.1 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> AND complete action B.2 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. A total of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is allowed for completing action B.1 and a total of 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> (not 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />) is allowed for completing action B.2 from the time that Condition B was entered. If action B.1 is completed within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, the time allowed for completing action B.2 is the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> because the total time allowed for completing action B.2 is 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

When a system is determined not to meet the LCO, Condition A is entered.
If the system is not restored within 7 days, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the system is restored after Condition B is entered, Conditions A and B are exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.

ACTIONS
NOTE------------------------------------------
Separate Condition entry is allowed for each component.
CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Restore 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> compliance with LCO.

B.2 Complete action 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> B.2.
The Note above the ACTIONS table is a method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked. If this method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked was applicable only to a specific Condition, the Note would appear in that Condition rather than at the top of the ACTIONS Table.
The Note allows Condition A to be entered separately for each component, and Completion Times tracked on a per component basis. When a component is determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent components are determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered for each component and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each component.
(continued)
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-16
IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action COMPLETION should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.
TIME 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.
DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO). An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.
The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, Surveillance Requirement (SR)
Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR.
Situations where a Surveillance could be required (i.e., its Frequency could expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only "required" when it can be and should be performed. With an SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction.
(continued)
Certificate of Compliance No. 1032 Amendment No. 7 Appendix B 1-17
EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified.
EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify pressure within limit 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment or variables are outside specified limits, or the facility is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO, the LCO is not met in accordance with SR 3.0.1.
If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is not in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, the Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4 (continued)

2.2 Decay Heat Limits This section provides the limits on fuel assembly decay heat for storage in the HI-STORM FW System. The method to verify compliance, including examples, is provided in Chapter 13 of the HI-STORM FW FSAR.
2.2.1 Fuel Loading Decay Heat Limits for VENTILATED OVERPACK Tables 2.3-1A, 2.3-1B, and 2.3-1C provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-37. Tables 2.3-2A and 2.3-2B provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-89. Tables 2.3-1A and 2.3-7A provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-37P. Table 2.3-8A provides the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-44. No drying time limits are required for decay heat values meeting the limits in these tables when using FHD to dry moderate or high burnup fuel and when using VDS to dry moderate burnup fuel. Drying time limits apply when using VDS to dry high burnup fuel with decay heat values meeting the limits in these tables. Tables 2.3-3 and 2.3-4 provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for MPC-37 and MPC-89, respectively, with no drying time limits imposed, when using VDS to dry high burnup fuel.
Table 2.3-5 provides the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for the MPC-32ML for both FHD and VDS drying. Tables 2.3-7B and 2.3-8B provide the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for the MPC-37P and MPC-44, respectively, with no drying time limits imposed, when using VDS to dry high burnup fuel.
The per cell limits in these tables apply to cells containing undamaged fuel or damaged fuel in DFCs/DFIs or fuel debris in DFCs.
Figures 2.3-1 through 2.3-15 provide alternative loading patterns for the MPC-37 and MPC-89, with undamaged fuel and a combination of undamaged fuel and damaged fuel in DFCs/DFIs and fuel debris in DFCs. The per cell limits in these figures are applicable when using vacuum drying or FHD to dry moderate or high burnup fuel in accordance with Table 3.3-1. The MPC-37 patterns are based on the fuel length to be stored in the MPC, see Table 2.3-6.

2.3 Burnup Credit Criticality control during loading of the MPC-37 and MPC-37P is achieved through either meeting the soluble boron limits in LCO 3.3.1 OR verifying that the assemblies meet the minimum burnup requirements in Table 2.4-1.
For those spent fuel assemblies that need to meet the burnup requirements specified in Table 2.4-1, a burnup verification shall be performed in accordance with either Method A OR Method B described below.
2.3.1 Method A: Burnup Verification Through Quantitative Burnup Measurement For each assembly in the MPC-37 and MPC-37P where burnup credit is required, the minimum burnup is determined from the burnup requirement applicable to the loading configuration chosen for the cask (see Table 2.4-1). A measurement is then performed that confirms that the fuel assembly burnup exceeds this minimum burnup. The measurement technique may be calibrated to the reactor records for a representative set of assemblies. The assembly burnup value to be compared with the minimum required burnup should be the measured burnup value as adjusted by reducing the value by a combination of the uncertainties in the calibration method and the measurement itself.
2.3.2 Method B: Burnup Verification Through an Administrative Procedure and Qualitative Measurements Depending on the location in the basket, assemblies loaded into a specific MPC-37 and MPC-37P can either be fresh, or have to meet a single minimum burnup value. The assembly burnup value to be compared with the minimum required burnup should be the reactor record burnup value as adjusted by reducing the value by the uncertainties in the reactor record value. An administrative procedure shall be established that prescribes the following steps, which shall be performed for each cask loading:
- a. Based on a review of the reactor records, all assemblies in the spent fuel pool that have a burnup that is below the minimum required burnup of the loading curve for the cask to be loaded are identified.
- b. After the cask loading, but before the release for shipment of the cask, the presence and location of all those identified assemblies is verified, except for those assemblies that have been loaded as fresh assemblies into the cask.
- c. An independent, third-party verification of the loading process, including the fuel selection process and generation of the fuel move instructions Additionally, for all assemblies to be loaded that are required to meet a minimum burnup, a qualitative verification shall be performed that verifies that the assembly is not a fresh assembly.
