Definition 1.1 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.1 Definitions
Note -----------------------------------------------------------
The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications.
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.
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, missing fuel rods that are not replaced with dummy fuel rods, or those that cannot be handled by normal means. Fuel assemblies which cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage are considered FUEL DEBRIS.
DAMAGED FUEL CONTAINER DFCs are specially designed enclosures for (DFC) DAMAGED 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-STAR 100 design are shown in Figures 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 of the Final Safety Analysis Report (SAR) for the HI-STAR 100 Cask System.
FUEL BUILDING The FUEL BUILDING is the site-specific power plant facility, licensed pursuant to 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52, where the loaded OVERPACK is transferred to or from the transporter.
FUEL DEBRIS FUEL DEBRIS is ruptured fuel rods, severed rods, loose fuel pellets or fuel assemblies with known or suspected defects which cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage.
(continued)
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-1
Definition 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)
INDEPENDENT SPENT FUEL The facility within the perimeter fence licensed STORAGE INSTALLATION for storage of spent fuel within SFSCs. (See also (ISFSI) 10 CFR 72.3)
INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLY INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES are fuel assemblies without known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks and which can be handled by normal means. Partial fuel assemblies, that is fuel assemblies from which fuel rods are missing, shall not be classified as INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES unless dummy fuel rods are used to displace an amount of water greater than or equal to that displaced by the original fuel rod(s).
LOADING OPERATIONS LOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on an SFSC while it is being loaded with fuel assemblies.
LOADING OPERATIONS begin when the first fuel assembly is placed in the SFSC and end when the SFSC is suspended from or secured on the transporter.
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.
OVERPACK OVERPACKs are the casks which receive and contain the sealed MPCs. They provide the helium retention boundary, gamma and neutron shielding, and a set each of lifting and pocket trunnions for handling.
PLANAR-AVERAGE PLANAR-AVERAGE INITIAL ENRICHMENT is INITIAL ENRICHMENT the average of the distributed fuel rod initial enrichments within a given axial plane of the assembly lattice.
(continued)
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-2
Definition 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)
SPENT FUEL STORAGE SFSCs are storage containers approved for CASKS (SFSCs) casks of spent fuel assemblies at the ISFSI. The HI-STAR 100 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 sitting on a storage pad within the ISFSI perimeter.
TRANSPORT OPERATIONS TRANSPORT OPERATIONS include all licensed activities performed on an SFSC loaded with one or more fuel assemblies when it is being moved to and from the ISFSI.
TRANSPORT OPERATIONS begin when the SFSC is first suspended from or secured on the transporter and end when the SFSC is at its destination and no longer secured on or suspended from the transporter.
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 between the TRANSFER CASK and the OVERPACK.
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-3
Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 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)
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-4
Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors (continued)
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.

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors (continued)
EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.2-2 (continued)

met.
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.
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-6
Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 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, provided that the SFSC 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 SFSC 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.
Note -----------------------------------------------------------
When Immediately is used as a Completion Time, the Required Action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times (continued)
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.

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 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.
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-10
Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 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 2.0, 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 2.0.4 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 2.0.4 imposes no restriction.
(continued)
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-11
Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency (continued)
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 2.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 2.0.1 (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 2.0.2 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 2.0.1.
If the interval as specified by SR 2.0.2 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 2.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 2.0.4 (continued)
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-12
Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency (continued)
EXAMPLES (continued) EXAMPLE 1.4-2 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify vacuum drying pressure is within limits. Once within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> prior to starting activity AND 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frequencies. The first is a one time performance Frequency, and the second is of the type shown in Example 1.4-1. The logical connector "AND" indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. Each time the example activity is to be performed, the Surveillance must be performed within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> prior to starting the activity.
The use of "once" indicates a single performance will satisfy the specified Frequency (assuming no other Frequencies are connected by "AND").
This type of Frequency does not qualify for the 25% extension allowed by SR 2.0.2.
"Thereafter" indicates future performances must be established per SR 2.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e., the "once" performance in this example). If the specified activity is canceled or not performed, the measurement of both intervals stops. New intervals start upon preparing to restart the specified activity.
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 1-13
LCO Applicability 2.0 2.0 LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) APPLICABILITY LCO 2.0.1 LCOs shall be met during specified conditions in the Applicability, except as provided in LCO 2.0.2.
LCO 2.0.2 Upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the Required Actions of the associated Conditions shall be met, except as provided in LCO 2.0.5.
If the LCO is met or is no longer applicable prior to expiration of the specified Completion Time(s), completion of the Required Action(s) is not required, unless otherwise stated.
LCO 2.0.3 Not applicable.
LCO 2.0.4 When an LCO is not met, entry into a specified condition in the Applicability shall not be made except when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. This Specification shall not prevent changes in specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS or that are related to the unloading of an SFSC.
LCO 2.0.5 Equipment removed from service or not in service in compliance with ACTIONS may be returned to service under administrative control solely to perform testing required to demonstrate it meets the LCO or that other equipment meets the LCO. This is an exception to LCO 2.0.2 for the system returned to service under administrative control to perform the testing.
Renewed Certificate of Compliance No. 1008 Appendix A Amendment 1 2-1
SR Applicability 2.0 2.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY SR 2.0.1 SRs shall be met during the specified conditions in the Applicability for individual LCOs, unless otherwise stated in the SR. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the LCO.
Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the LCO except as provided in SR 2.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on equipment or variables outside specified limits.
SR 2.0.2 The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.
For Frequencies specified as once, the above interval extension does not apply. If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a once per...
basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial performance.
Exceptions to this Specification are stated in the individual Specifications.
SR 2.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified Frequency, whichever is less. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the Surveillance.
If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the LCO must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.
When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the Surveillance is not met, the LCO must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.

Training modules shall include comprehensive instructions for the operation and maintenance of the HI-STAR 100 spent fuel storage cask system and the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI).
3.2 Pre-Operational Testing and Training Exercise A dry run training exercise of the loading, closure, handling, unloading, and transfer of the HI-STAR 100 system shall be conducted by the licensee prior to the first use of the system to load spent fuel assemblies. The training exercise shall not be conducted with spent fuel in the MPC/OVERPACK. The dry run may be performed in an alternate step sequence from the actual procedures, but all steps must be performed. The dry run shall include, but is not limited to the following:
- a. Moving the HI-STAR 100 MPC/OVERPACK into the spent fuel pool.
- b. Preparation of the HI-STAR 100 Cask System for fuel loading.
- c. Selection and verification of specific fuel assemblies to ensure type conformance.

3.3 Special Requirements For First Systems In Place The heat transfer characteristics of the cask system will be recorded by temperature measurements for the first HI-STAR 100 SFSC systems (MPC-24 and MPC-68) placed into service with a heat load equal to or greater than 10 kW. An analysis shall be performed that demonstrates the temperature measurements validate the analytic methods and predicted thermal behavior described in Chapter 4 of the SAR.
Validation tests shall be performed for each subsequent cask system that has a heat load that exceeds a previously validated heat load by more than 2 kW. (e.g., if the initial test was conducted at 10 kW, then no additional testing is needed until the heat load exceeds 12 kW). No additional testing is required for a system after it has been tested at a heat load equal to or greater than 16 kW.
Letter reports summarizing the results of each validation test shall be submitted to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 72.4. Cask users may satisfy these requirements by referencing validation test reports submitted to the NRC by other cask users.
3.4. Radioactive Effluent Control Program This program implements the requirements of 10 CFR 72.44(d).
- a. The HI-STAR 100 Cask System does not create any radioactive materials or have any radioactive waste treatment systems. Therefore, specific operating procedures for the control of radioactive effluents are not required. Specification 2.1.1, Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC), provides assurance that there are no radioactive effluents from the SFSC.
- b. This program includes an environmental monitoring program. Each general license user may incorporate SFSC operations into their environmental monitoring program for 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52 operations.
