NOTE------------------------------------------------------------

The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications and Bases.

Term Definition CASK TRANSFER FACILITY The CASK TRANSFER FACILITY includes the following (CTF) components and equipment: (1) a Cask Transfer Structure used to stabilize the TRANSFER CASK and MPC during lifts involving spent fuel not bounded by the regulations of 10 CFR Part 50, and (2) Either a stationary lifting device or a mobile lifting device used in concert with the stationary structure to lift the OVERPACK, TRANSFER CASK, and MPC 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, or those 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 (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-STORM 100 System are as follows:

1. Holtec Dresden Unit 1/Humboldt Bay design
2. Transnuclear Dresden Unit 1 design
3. Holtec Generic BWR design
4. Holtec Generic PWR design 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.

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Renewed Amendment No. 1 Appendix B 1-1

Definitions 1.0 1.0 Definitions (continued)

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. Fuel assemblies without fuel rods in fuel rod locations 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 fuel rod(s).

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 included MPC transfer between the TRANSFER CASK and the OVERPACK.

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.

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), water displacement guide tube plugs, and orifice rod assemblies.

Definitions 1.0 1.0 Definitions (continued)

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 provide for ventilated air flow to promote heat transfer from the MPC to the environs. The OVERPACK does not include the TRANSFER CASK.

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.

SPENT FUEL STORAGE An SFSC is a container approved for the storage of CASKS (SFSCs) spent fuel assemblies at the ISFSI. The HI-STORM 100 SFSC System consists of the OVERPACK and its integral MPC.

TRANSFER CASK TRANSFER CASKs are containers designed to contain the MPC during and after loading of spent fuel assemblies and to transfer the MPC to or from the OVERPACK. The HI-STORM 100 System employs either the 125-Ton or the 100-Ton HI-TRAC TRANSFER CASK.

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 to and from the ISFSI. 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 include transfer of the MPC between the OVERPACK and the TRANSFER CASK.

Approved Contents 2.0 2.0 Approved Contents 2.1 Fuel Specifications and Loading Conditions (contd) 2.1.2 Uniform Fuel Loading Preferential fuel loading shall be used during uniform loading (i.e., any authorized fuel assembly in any fuel storage location) whenever fuel assemblies with significantly different post-irradiation cooling times (> 1 year) are to be loaded in the same MPC.

Fuel assemblies with the longest post-irradiation cooling times shall be loaded into fuel storage locations at the periphery of the basket. Fuel assemblies with shorter post-irradiation cooling times shall be placed toward the center of the basket.

Regionalized fuel loading as described in Technical Specification 2.1.3 below meets the intent of preferential fuel loading.

2.1.3 Regionalized Fuel Loading Users may choose to store fuel using regionalized loading in lieu of uniform loading to allow higher heat emitting fuel assemblies to be stored than would otherwise be able to be stored using uniform loading. Regionalized loading is limited to those fuel assemblies with Zircaloy (or other alloy of zirconium) cladding. Figures 2.1-1 through 2.1-4 define the regions for the MPC-24, MPC-24E, MPC-24EF, MPC-32, MPC-68, and MPC-68FF models, respectively1. Fuel assembly burnup, decay heat, and cooling time limits for regionalized loading are specified in Tables 2.1-6 and 2.1-
