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 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.

CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT)

A CHANNEL OPERATIONAL TEST (COT) shall be the injection of a simulated or actual signal into the channel as close to the sensor as practicable to verify the operability of required alarm functions. The COT shall include adjustments, as necessary, of the required alarm setpoint so that the setpoint is within the required range and accuracy.

INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLY Spent Nuclear 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 equal to or greater than that displaced by the original fuel rod(s).

LOADING OPERATIONS LOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on a cask while it is being loaded with fuel assemblies. LOADING OPERATIONS begin when the first fuel assembly is placed in the cask and end when the cask is supported by the transporter.

STORAGE OPERATIONS STORAGE OPERATIONS include all licensed activities that are performed at the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) while a cask containing spent fuel is sitting on a storage pad within the ISFSI.

TRANSPORT OPERATIONS TRANSPORT OPERATIONS include all licensed activities performed on a cask loaded with one or more fuel assemblies when it is being moved to and from the ISFSI. TRANSPORT OPERATIONS begin when the cask is first suspended from the transporter and end when the cask is at its destination and no longer supported by the transporter.

UNLOADING OPERATIONS UNLOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on a cask while fuel assemblies are being unloaded. UNLOADING OPERATIONS begin when the cask is no longer supported by the transporter and end when the last fuel assembly is removed from the cask.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 1.1-1 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.

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors:

EXAMPLE 1.2-1:

ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME

A. LCO not met Al Verify...

AND

A2 Restore...

In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions AlI and A.2 must be completed.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 1.2-1 Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors

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.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 1.2-2 Completion Times

.1 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 minimum requirements for ensuring safe operation of the cask. 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 cask 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 cask 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.

1.3 Completion Times

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 Action B.1 Perform Action B.I. 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and associated Completion Time AND not met.

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 to 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 to not 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, Condition A and B are exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.

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 does not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent components are determined Not to meet the LCO, Condition A is entered for each component and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each component.

IMMEDIATE When "Immediately" is used as a Completion Time, the COMPLETION TIME Required Action should be pursued without delay and in a controlled manner.

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 3.0, Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR, as well as certain Notes in the Surveillance column that modify performance requirements.

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.

The use of "met' or "performed" in these instances conveys specific meanings.

A Surveillance is "met' only when the acceptance criteria are satisfied. Known failure of the requirements of a Surveillance, even without a Surveillance specifically being "performed," constitutes a Surveillance not "met."

TN-32 Technical Specifications 1.4-1 Frequency 1.4

1.4 Frequency

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 is determined to not meet the LCO, a variable is outside specified limits, or the unit is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the cask 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 unit 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.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 1.4-2 Frequency 1.4

1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.4-2:

(continued)

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 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 3.0.2.

"Thereafter" indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e., the "once" performance in this the specified activity is canceled or not performed, the example). If measurement of both intervals stops. New intervals start upon preparing to restart the specified activity.

3.0 LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) APPLICABILITY

LCO 3.0.1 LCOs shall be met during specified conditions in the Applicability, except as provided in LCO 3.0.2.

LCO 3.0.2 Upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the Required Actions of the associated Conditions shall be met, except as provided in LCO 3.0.5.

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 3.0.3 Not applicable to a cask.

LCO 3.0.4 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 a cask.

Exceptions to this Specification are stated in the individual Specifications. These exceptions allow entry into specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered allow operation in the specified condition in the Applicability only for a limited period of time.

"LCO 3.0.5 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 3.0.2 for the system returned to service under administrative control to perform the testing required to demonstrate that the LCO is met.

LCO 3.0.6 Not applicable to a cask.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 3.0-1 S~3.0 LCO Applicability

3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY

SR 3.0.1 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 3.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on equipment or variables outside specified limits.

SR 3.0.2 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.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 3.3-2 Design Features "4.0

4.0 DESIGN FEATURES

The specifications in this section include the design characteristics of special importance to each of the physical barriers and to maintenance of safety margins in the cask design. The principal objective of this category is to describe the design envelope which might constrain any physical changes to essential equipment. Included in this category are the site environmental parameters which provide the bases for design, but are not inherently suited for description as LCOs.

4.1 Storage Cask

4.1.1 Criticality

The design of the storage cask, including spatial constraints on adjacent assemblies (minimum basket cell opening of 8.64 in. sq.) and the boron content of the basket material (minimum areal density equal to 10 mg BI0/cm 2) shall ensure that fuel assemblies are maintained in a subcritical condition with a kftof less than 0.95 under all conditions of operation.

4.1.2 Structural Performance

The cask has been evaluated for a cask tipover (equivalent to a side drop of 67 g's) and a bottom end drop resulting in an axial gravitational (g) loading of 50 g's.

4.1.3 Codes and Standards

The TN-32 cask confinement boundary is designed and fabricated in accordance with Subsection NB of the ASME Code. Exceptions to the code are listed in Table 4.1-1. The cask gamma shielding has been evaluated in accordance with Subsection NB of the ASME code with the exceptions listed in Table 4.1-1. The basket is designed in accordance with Subsection NF of the ASME Code. The basket is inspected as shown in Table 4.1-1.

Proposed alternatives to ASME Code Section III, 1992 Edition including exceptions allowed by Table 4.1-1 may be used when authorized by the Director of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards or Designee. The applicant should demonstrate that:

1. The Proposed alternatives would provide an acceptable level of quality and safety, or

2. Compliance with the specified requirements of ASME Code,Section III, 1992 Edition would result in hardship or unusual difficulty without a compensating increase in the level of quality and safety.

Requests for exceptions in accordance with this section should be submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 72.4.

4.1.4 Helium Purity

The cask shall be filled with helium with a purity of at least 99.99%. This level of purity will ensure that the residual impurities in the cask cavity will be less than 1 mole.

TN-32 Technical Specifications 4.0-1 Design Features 4.0

4.2 Storage Pad

4.2.1 Storage Locations for Casks

Casks shall be spaced a minimum of 16 feet apart, center-to-center. This minimum spacing will ensure the proper dissipation of radiant heat energy from an array of casks as assumed in the TN-32 Safety Analysis Report.

4.2.2 Pad Properties to Limit Cask Gravitational Loadings Due to Postulated Drops

The TN-32 cask has been evaluated for cask drops onto a reinforced concrete pad. The evaluations are based on the following parameters:

Concrete thickness 36 inches (max)

Nominal concrete compressive strength 6000 psi (max)

Reinforcement Yield Strength 60,000 psi (min)

Soil Effective Modulus of Elasticity 32,600 psi (max)

Maximum drop height 18 inches

This set of limits will ensure that the g loading imposed on the cask is no more than 50 g's (cask bottom end drop).

4.3 Site Specific Parameters and Analyses

Site specific parameters and analyses that shall need verification by the system user are, as a minimum, as follows:

1. Tornado maximum wind speeds: 290 mph rotational 70 mph translational

2. Flood levels up to 57 ft. and drag forces up to 57,160 lbs.

3. Seismic loads of up to 0.26g horizontal and 0.17g vertical, or

Analyses to provide verification that loads associated with a design basis seismic event do not cause the cask to slide or to tip over, as follows.

(a) For sliding analysis, a coefficient-of-friction of 0.35 is assumed and a factor-of-safety of 1.1 is used (as recommended by ANSI I ANS-57.9, Section 6.17.4.1). The following relationship of horizontal seismic acceleration to corresponding vertical seismic acceleration shall be met at any time:

SA-203 Gr. D is similar to SA-203 Gr. E which is a Class 1 the two grades are identical, except that material material. The chemical content of Gr. E restricts the carbon to 0.20 max., while Gr. D further restricts the carbon content to 0.17 max. Gr. D is acceptable as a Class 2 material up to 5000 F.

Gr. D was selected because of its ductility, since the higher strength is not required. SA-203 Gr. D has better elongation than Grade E and due to its lower strength is more likely to have the good fracture toughness at low temperatures.

In selecting materials for storage and transport casks, one of the major selection criteria is fracture toughness at low temperatures. Grade D was selected on this basis. There is no similar requirement for pressure vessels, as they are used at much higher temperatures.

For the SA-203 Grade D material, the allowable stress was based on S, the allowable stress for Class 2 components. This is conservative, since NB is the tensile based on Sm,, which is 1/3 the tensile strength, while S is 1/4 strength. Thus there is additional margin over and above the margin required by the code for Class I materials.

5.2.1 Cask Sliding Evaluation

The TN-32 cask has been evaluated for sliding in the unlikely events of a seismic event. A static coefficient of friction of 0.35 is used in these analyses. This program provides a means for evaluating the coefficient of friction to ensure that the cask will not slide during the seismic event.

a. Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.212, this program shall evaluate the site-specific ISFSI pad configurationstconditions to ensure that the cask would not slide during the postulated design basis earthquake. The program shall conclude that the surface static friction coefficient of friction is greater than or equal to 0.35.

b. Alternatively, for site-specific ISFSI pad configurations/conditions with a lower coefficient of friction than 0.35, the program shall evaluate the site specific conditions to ensure that the TN-32 cask will not slide during the postulated design basis earthquake. The program shall also evaluate storm winds, missile impacts and flood forces to ensure that the cask will not slide such that it could result in impact with other casks or structures at the ISFSI. The program shall ensure that these alternative analyses are documented and controlled.

5.2.2 Cask Transport Evaluation Program

This program provides a means for evaluating various transport configurations and transport route conditions to ensure that the design basis drop limits are met

a. Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.212, this program shall evaluate the site-specific transport conditions. To demonstrate compliance with Technical Specification 4.2.2, the program shall conclude that the expected lift height above the transport surface shall be less than or equal to that described by Technical Specification 4.2.2. Also, the program shall conclude that the transport route conditions (e.g., surface hardness and pad thickness) are equivalent to or less limiting than those prescribed for the typical pad surface which forms the basis for Technical Specification 4.2.2.

b. Alternatively, for site-specific transport conditions which are not encompassed by those of Technical Specification 4.2.2, the program shall evaluate the site-specific conditions to ensure that the end-drop loading does not exceed 50 g. This alternative analysis shall be commensurate with the analysis which forms the basis of Technical Specification 4.2.2 (Reference TN-32 SAR Appendix 3A). The program shall ensure that these alternative analyses are documented and controlled.

D. 110 mr/hr gamma and 200 mr/hr neutron on the side surfaces of the cask below the radial neutron shield region.

4. Prior to transport of a TN-32 containing spent fuel to the ISFSI, the licensee shall measure the cask surface dose rates and calculate average values as described in 5.2.3.7 and 5.2.3.8.

The measured average dose rates shall be compared to the limits established in TS 5.2.3.2 or the limits in TS 5.2.3.3, whichever are lower.

5. If the measured average surface dose rates do not meet the limits of TS 5.2.3.2 or TS 5.2.3.3, whichever are lower, the licensee shall take the following actions:

A. Notify the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Director of the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards) within 30 days.

B. Administratively verify that the correct fuel was loaded, and C. Perform an analysis to determine that placement of the as-loaded cask at the ISFSI will not cause the ISFSI to exceed the radiation exposure limits of 10 CFR Parts 20 and 72.

6. If the analysis in 5.2.3.5.C shows that placement of the as-loaded cask at the ISFSI will cause the ISFSI to exceed the radiation exposure limits of 10 CFR Parts 20 and 72, the licensee shall remove all fuel assemblies from the cask within 30 days of the time of cask loading.

7. The surface dose rates shall be measured at approximately the following points (see also Figure 5.2.3-1).

A. Above the Radial Neutron Shield (A): Midway between the top of the cask body flange and the top of the radial neutron shield. At least six measurements equally spaced circumferentially.

5.2.3 Continued

B. Sides of Radial Neutron Shield (B, C and D): one sixth, one half and five sixths of the distance from the top of the radial neutron shield. At least six measurements equally spaced circumferentially at each elevation, two of which shall be at the circumferential location of the cask trunnions. However, no measurement shall be taken directly over the trunnion.

C. Below Radial Neutron Shield (E): Midway between the bottom of the radial neutron shield and the bottom of the cask. At least six measurements equally spaced circumferentially.

D. Top of Cask (F, G and H): At the center of the protective cover, one measurement (F). Half way between the center and the knuckle at least four measurements equally spaced circumferentially (G). At the knuckle at least four measurements equally spaced circumferentially (H).

8. The average dose rates shall be determined as follows.

In each of the four measurement zones in TS 5.2.3.7, the sum of the dose rate measurements is divided by the number of measurements to determine the average for that zone. The neutron and gamma-ray dose rates are averaged separately. Uniformly spaced dose rate measurement locations are chosen such that each point in a given zone represents approximately the same surface area.

5.2.4 Aging Management Program

Each general licensee shall have a program to establish, implement, and maintain written procedures for each aging management program (AMP) described in the updated final safety analysis report (UFSAR). The program shall include provisions for changing AMP elements, as necessary, and within the limitations of the approved licensing bases to address new information on aging effects based on inspection findings and/or industry operating experience provided to the general licensee during the renewal period. The program document shall contain a reference to the specific aspect of the AMP element implemented by that program document, and that reference shall be maintained even if the program document is modified.

The general licensee shall establish and implement this program document prior to entering the period of extended operation or no later than one year after the effective date of the CoC renewal, whichever is later. The general licensee shall maintain the program document for as long as the general licensee continues to operate a TN-32 dry storage cask system in service for longer than 20 years.
