NAC-STC SAR March 2017 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 18 The CY-MPC Failed Rod Storage Canister, shown in Figure 1.2-6, is similar in design to the CY-MPC Reconfigured Fuel Assembly but holds only a maximum of 60 fuel rods classified as failed in stainless steel tubes.

Some of the Connecticut Yankee fuel assemblies will be stored with flow mixers, reactor control cluster assemblies (RCCA) or stainless steel rods installed. Flow mixers are thimble plug assemblies used during reactor operation to maintain equal coolant flow in fuel assemblies that do not contain a reactor control cluster. Reactor control clusters were used to control the reactivity of the Connecticut Yankee reactor during operations and shutdown. Some Connecticut Yankee fuel assemblies may have missing fuel rods and/or may have solid filler rods replacing the missing fuel rods.

A maximum of two assemblies with up to two irradiated stainless steel filler rods per assembly may be loaded in the CY-MPC canister. These assemblies may only be loaded in the two central basket positions.

In the HLW overpack configuration, two stainless steel spacers, one placed below and one above the HLW overpack, are used to position the HLW overpack so that the location of the center of gravity of the packaging is the same as it is for the uncanistered fuel packaging. The HLW overpack shell, bottom, and welded closure lid are fabricated from stainless steel. The basket for the HLW canister configuration is an assembly of five vertical cylindrical cells, each designed to accommodate a welded HLW canister, a melter-evacuated canister (EC) partially filled with glass, or an HLW debris canister.

Two impact limiter designs consisting of a combination of redwood and balsa wood, encased in Type 304 stainless steel, are provided to limit the g-loads acting on the cask during a drop accident load condition. The g-loads are limited by the crush strength of the wood contained in the impact limiters. The predominately balsa wood impact limiter (the balsa impact limiter) is designed for use with all the proposed contents. The predominately redwood impact limiters (the redwood impact limiter) may only be used with directly loaded fuel or the Yankee-MPC configurations.

Any number of NAC-STCs may be shipped at one time, with each cask on its own railcar. The NAC-STC may also be shipped in any number on board ships, barges, or special heavy-haul vehicles.

NAC PROPRIETARY INFORMATION REMOVED NAC-STC SAR March 2017 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 18 Although the ASME B&PV code criteria allows for stress linearization of thermal and primary component stresses, the maximum nodal thermal stress intensity was combined absolutely with the maximum linearized stress intensity from the normal condition drop cases to determine the maximum primary plus secondary stress intensity. Combination of the stress intensities in this manner is conservative.

From Section 2.6.12.7, the maximum stress intensity for the 1 foot drop cases is 16.7 ksi (Table

2. 6.12. 7-3). Combining this with the peak thermal stress intensity for the each case in an absolute manner gives a combined primary plus secondary stress of 60.4 ksi for the hot condition and 63.0 ksi for the cold condition. Since the support disk is constructed of SA-705, SA-693 and SA-564, Type 630, Hl 150, 17-4 PH with an allowable stress (3Sm) of 125.7 ksi at 650 °F, the margin of safety is 1.08 for the hot condition and 1.00 for the cold condition.

The Directly-Loaded basket with HBU fuel configurations meets the requirements of the ASME B&PV code,Section III, Subsection NG.

2.13.6 .14.3 Shunt Evaluation of the STC-HBU Basket The thermal shunt and radiation shield assembly consists of four aluminum plates and four stainless steel and an upper liner plate forming the top end of the shielded shunt, as shown in the figure below:

2.13.6-45

NAC PROPRIETARY INFORMATION REMOVED NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A The shunt is inserted in any fuel tubes which do not have a fuel assembly loaded into it. The shunt is supported its full length by the fuel tube which is restrained by basket support disks.

Due to the length of the shunt, the axial motion is limited, but is free to expand.

In the bottom end drop, the shunt is supported by the cask cavity bottom plate of the cask. Due to the large area of contact between the shunt and the cask, the compression stresses are minimal.

For the top end drop the shunt would be supported by the inner lid. In this orientation the shunt is supported by the upper liner plate of the shielded shunt. The loading would consist of compression of the surface by the inner lid due to the weight of the shunt. For the normal conditions of transport, which includes the one-foot top end drop (an inertial load of 20gs), the bearing stress margin of safety between the top surface of the shielded shunt and inner surface of the lid is large. Details for this calculation are contained in Reference 1.

For either the top end drop or bottom end drop, the shunt cannot experience buckling due to the lateral restraint of the support disks.

For the side drop the shunt will be supported along the entire length by the inner surface of the fuel tube. The bearing stress between the shunt and the side wall of the fuel tube due to the weight of the shunt which is minimal due to the large area of contact.

Therefore, for normal and accident conditions of transport, the thermal shunt will performs its function as a thermal shunt and shielding component.

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A 2.13.6.15.3 Fuel Rod Assessment for HBU Fuel for Normal Conditions of Transport The PWR 17x17 HBU fuel assembly is evaluated for Normal Conditions of Transport. The bounding loading conditions for the Normal Conditions are the 1-foot drop conditions. The table below summarizes the bounding accelerations associated with the 1-foot drops (normal condition) and the 30-foot drops (accident condition) for both impact limiter designs (redwood and balsa designs). The accelerations shown below are the maximum accelerations of either the accelerations contained in Table 2.6.7.4.1-3 (for the redwood impact limiter design) or Table 2.6.7.4.2-3 (for the balsa wood impact limiter design).

Drop orientation 1-foot bounding 30-foot bounding accelerations (gs) accelerations (gs)

Lateral (side) 18.1 51.7 Longitudinal (end) 19.6 56.1 Corner 5.6 49.3 The accelerations for the accident evaluation are approximately a factor of 2.8 or larger than the accelerations corresponding to the normal conditions. The accident condition fuel clad evaluations are described in Section 2.13.6.15.1 and Section 2.13.6.15.2, and the stresses were limited to less than the material yield strength. This is intended to allow the fuel cladding to remain in the elastic state for the accident condition. The normal condition accelerations are approximately 36% of the accident condition accelerations. The material yield strengths for the normal and accident conditions are the same since the clad temperatures are the same for both conditions. As a result, there is an increased factor of safety against the material yield strength for the normal condition of transport. This confirms that the cladding response for the normal conditions of transport is elastic.

Thermal stresses which occur during the normal conditions of transport might arise provided there was a sufficient thermal gradient through the cladding wall or if there was a constraint in the lateral or axial directions for the fuel rod. Since the walls are thin, significant thermal gradients cannot be developed. Since the fuel rods are free to expand in the lateral direction, axial thermal stresses cannot be developed. While the fuel assembly grids maintain the position of the fuel rods, the fuel assembly grids are free to expand also. Since the grids and rods are of the same material, thermal constraints cannot be developed. It is concluded that thermal stresses in the fuel cladding are insignificant.

During transport, the fuel assemblies are subject to vibrational loadings. Extensive evaluations have been performed on the PWR 17x17 assembly as described in the Sandia Report SAND2013-5210P, Reference [10]. In this evaluation, the fuel assembly was subjected to a vibrational spectrum identified through extensive data obtained from actual truck testing. The 2.13.6-57

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A vibrational data associated with legal weight trucks is considered to bound the rail application for the NAC STC since the larger weight would provide increased damping against vibrational loadings. Page 48 of the Sandia Report shows that the stresses arising from vibrational loading is on the order of 3 ksi as compared to a material yield strength greater than 60 ksi. Such minimal stresses would not result in cladding failure due to vibrational loading.

Consideration of the normal conditions of transport, which include the 1-foot drop, thermal stresses, or vibrational loading, does not challenge the integrity of the fuel cladding.

NAC P ROPRIETARY INFORMATION REMOVED NAC-STC SAR March 2017 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 18 3.0 THERMAL EVALUATION 3.1 Discussion The NAC-STC is designed to safely transport directly loaded or canistered spent nuclear fuel or canistered Greater Than Class C (GTCC) waste. The cask accommodates up to 26 directly loaded design basis PWR fuel assemblies. In the canistered fuel or waste configurations, the NAC-STC transports the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) of the NAC-MPC system, which is designed for the long-term storage and transport of spent fuel. The NAC-MPC is provided in several configurations to provide efficient storage and transport of both spent fuel and GTCC waste. The NAC-MPC canister system designed for Yankee Class fuel is designated the Yankee-MPC and holds up to 36 Yankee Class fuel assemblies, Reconfigured Fuel Assemblies and Recaged Fuel Assemblies, including up to four fuel assemblies loaded in Damaged Fuel Cans.

Using a modified internal basket, the same size canister also holds up to 24 containers of Yankee GTCC waste. The NAC-MPC canister system designed for Connecticut Yankee is designated the CY-MPC and holds up to 26 Connecticut Yankee fuel assemblies or, using a modified internal basket, up to 24 containers of Connecticut Yankee GTCC waste. The NAC-MPC canister system designed for Dairyland Power Cooperative La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor (LACBWR) is designated MPC-LACBWR and holds up to 68 LACBWR fuel assemblies or up to 36 LACBWR fuel assemblies and 32 LACBWR damaged fuel cans. The Yankee-MPC, CY-MPC and MPC-LACBWR canisters have the same external diameter, but have different overall lengths. The MPC-WVDP HLW Overpack is designed to incorporate a 5-cell basket for the HLW canisters, HLW debris content canister, and Evacuated Canisters (ECs). The STC-HBU system is also designed to transport PWR high burnup fuel in a directly loaded fuel assemblies. The total heat load for the STC-HBU for each configuration is 24 kW.

The thermal evaluation of the NAC-STC for transport of the MPC-LACBWR canister is presented in Section 3.6 of this SAR. The thermal evaluation of the NAC-STC for transport of the HLW Overpacks is presented in Section 3.7 of this SAR. The thermal evaluation of the STC-HBU for transport condition is presented in Section 3.8 of this SAR.

This chapter demonstrates that the NAC-STC with the design basis payloads meets the thermal performance requirements of 10 CFR 71, Sections 71.71 and 71.73, and the requirements of IAEA Safety Standards Series No. SSR-6.

3.1-1

NAC P ROPRIETARY INFORMATION REMOVED NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A During normal transport and hypothetical accident conditions, the cask must reject the fuel decay heat to the environment without exceeding the operational temperature ranges of the cask seals or other components important to safety. In addition, fuel rod integrity must be maintained for normal transport conditions. This is accomplished by maintaining the fuel in an inert atmosphere and at a sufficiently low temperature that thermally induced fuel rod cladding deterioration is precluded. For directly loaded fuel with burnup less than or equal to 45 GWD/MTU, transport temperatures below 380°C are sufficient to deter this type of cladding degradation (PNL-4835/UC-85). The maximum directly loaded fuel rod cladding temperature remains below 380°C under normal transport conditions. For hypothetical accident conditions, temperatures below 570°C are sufficient to prevent Zircaloy cladding degradation (PNL-4835). The directly loaded maximum fuel rod cladding temperature remains below 570°C (1058°F) during the hypothetical accident. For canistered Yankee Class and Connecticut Yankee fuel, the maximum fuel rod cladding temperature under normal transport conditions remains below 340ºC for both stainless steel and Zircaloy-clad fuel. This temperature is low enough to preclude cladding degradation for Zircaloy-clad fuel (PNL-4835) and stainless steel-clad fuel (EPRI-TR-106440).

For hypothetical accident conditions, cladding temperatures below 430ºC are sufficient to preclude stainless steel cladding degradation (EPRI-TR-106440). This limit is also conservatively applied to Zircaloy-clad fuel. The canistered Yankee Class and Connecticut Yankee fuel maximum fuel rod cladding temperature remains below 430ºC during hypothetical accidents. Finally, the thermally induced stresses, in combination with pressure and mechanical Heat is transferred from the NAC-STC to the environment by passive means only. No forced cooling is used. Heat is transferred from the fuel assemblies to the fuel basket tubes and through the tubes to the fuel basket support disks and thermal heat transfer disks by conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat is transferred through the fuel basket support disks and thermal heat transfer disks by conduction. Radiation and conduction are the means by which heat is transferred from the support disks and heat transfer disks to the cask cavity inner wall, or the canister wall (for canistered fuel). For the canistered fuel configuration, radiation and conduction transfer heat from the canister wall to the cavity wall. From the cask cavity inner wall, heat is conducted, first through the lead gamma shield and, then through the cask outer shell. The outer shell is surrounded by a neutron shield, which conducts the heat to the neutron shield surface, primarily through the copper/stainless steel fins located within the radial neutron shield. At the top of the cask, heat is conducted through the inner lid, which contains solid neutron shield 3.1-2

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A 3.8.4 Thermal Evaluation for Normal Conditions of Transport - the STC-HBU There are three objectives of the thermal analysis of the STC-HBU under normal transport conditions:

1. To demonstrate that the STC-HBU can safely maintain the design basis temperatures required for fuel cladding integrity under the range of thermal conditions expected during normal conditions.
2. To demonstrate that cask components important to safety are maintained within their safe operating temperature ranges.
3. To provide thermal input to the structural analyses.

The first objective is met by demonstrating that the STC-HBU maintains maximum fuel rod cladding temperatures below 400°C.

The second objective is met by comparing the results of analysis with the safe operating ranges established in Section 3.8.3.2.

The third objective is met by providing the thermal input to the structural analyses (Sections 2.13.6.12.3 and 2.13.6.14.2), which demonstrates that combined load stresses are within allowable limits.

3.8.4.1 Thermal Models This section describes the finite element models of the STC-HBU used for the thermal evaluation of normal transport conditions. The environmental conditions and decay heat loads for the analysis are provided. Tabulated results are given in the form of maximum component temperatures in Tables 3.8-4 and 3.8-5.

3.8.4.1.1 Analytical Models for the STC-HBU The thermal analysis for the STC-HBU uses three finite element ANSYS models. A three-dimensional model (three-dimensional cask model) is employed to evaluate the cask in a horizontal position with the basket in contact with the cask inner shell. The model is comprised 3.8.4-1

NAC-STC SAR March 2017 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 18 of the fuel assemblies, aluminum shunts, fuel tubes, gap between the fuel and fuel tubes, stainless steel support disks, aluminum heat transfer disks, the NAC-STC cask inner shell, lead, outer shell, neutron shield and neutron shield shell. The stainless steel tube inside the aluminum shunt is conservatively not modeled. The void inside the aluminum shunt is modeled as helium. The fuel regions and the fuel tubes in the three-dimensional model are shown using effective conductivities.

The effective conductivity of the fuel is determined by a second model (fuel model), which is a detailed two-dimensional thermal model of the fuel assembly. The model includes the fuel pellets, cladding and the gas (considered to be helium) occupying the gap between the fuel pellets and cladding, as well as the gap between fuel rods. The third model (fuel tube model) is used to determine the effective conductivities of the tube, which is modeled from the inner surface of the tubing to the outer surface of the stainless steel retainer. The three-dimensional cask model is described in Section 3.8.4.1.1.1.

3.8.4.1.1.1 Three-Dimensional Cask and Basket Model for the STC-HBU The three-dimensional STC-HBU model is a half-symmetry finite element model constructed using ANSYS. The model considers the fuel assemblies, aluminum shunts, helium inside the aluminum shunt, fuel tubes, the gap between the fuel and the fuel tube, stainless steel support disks, aluminum heat transfer disks, and the NAC-STC cask with inner shell, lead, outer shell, neutron shield and neutron shield shell. The model is shown in Figure 3.8-2 and Figure 3.8-3.

Gas inside the STC-HBU cask cavity is considered to be helium, since the cask cavity will be backfilled with helium just before transport. Conduction and radiation cross gaps are modeled using the same methodology described in Section 3.2.2.3 with ANSYS SOLID70 elements. The principal gaps as listed in Table 3.8-3 are applied to the model.

Since the cask is in the horizontal position during transport, the contact between the fuel and the fuel tube, as well as the contact between the basket and the cask inner shell are considered. In the contact region between the fuel and fuel tube, the bottom side of the helium gap between the fuel and fuel tube is turned into the orthotropic material with a high conductivity of 100 Btu/hr-in-F in one direction to simulate the contact. A 45-degree contact is considered in the model for the basket and the NAC-STC cask inner shell. The exterior nodes in the contact region of the support disks and heat transfer disks are coupled with inner nodes of the cask inner shell in the contact region.

NAC PROPRIETARY INFORMATION REMOVED NAC-STC SAR February 2019 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 19 applied to the pellets. The temperature at the boundary of the fuel assembly model is constrained to be uniform. The effective conductivity is determined based on the heat generated and the temperature difference between the center and the edge of the model. The temperature-dependent effective properties that follow are established by using different boundary temperatures. The effective conductivity in the axial direction of the fuel assembly is calculated based on the material area ratio.

The z axes are parallel to the cask axial direction. The temperature associated with each row of properties is the average temperature of the fuel assembly determined by each analysis.

3.8.4.1.1.3 Two-Dimensional Fuel Tube Model for the STC-HBU The purpose of the two-dimensional fuel tube model is to determine the effective thermal property of the fuel tube, which is used in the three-dimensional transport cask and the basket model.

The model of the fuel tube with neutron absorber is shown in Figure 3.8-6. This model has five layers, which includes the fuel tubing, the neutron absorber, media gaps on both sides of the neutron absorber, and the stainless steel retainer. The media is considered as helium for the model.

3.8.4-5

NAC P ROPRIETARY INFORMATION REMOVED NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A Modes of heat transfer modeled include conduction and radiation. Convection is conservatively neglected. ANSYS PLANE55 conduction elements and LINK31 radiation elements are used to construct the model. The model consists of layers of conduction elements and radiation elements that are defined at the helium gaps (two for each gap). The thickness of the model is the distance measured from the inside face of the fuel tubing to the outer surface of the stainless steel retainer.

The height of the model is defined as equal to the width of the model.

temperature at the right boundary of the model is constrained. The maximum temperature of the model (at the left boundary) and the temperature difference (T) across the model are calculated by ANSYS. The effective conductivities for the fuel tube are determined using the same methodology described in Section 3.4.1.2.3.

3.8.4.1.1.4 Test Model NAC International did not create a thermal test model. The methods previously described have been used in previous transport licensing and are sufficient to show that the STC-HBU meets the criteria set forth in Section 3.8.4.

3.8.4.2 Maximum Temperatures This section presents the maximum component temperatures for the STC-HBU. Temperatures are calculated using the model described in Section 3.8.4.1.1.

Using the thermal model described in Section 3.8.4.1.1, temperatures for the major components of the cask body, basket, and fuel cladding are determined for the normal conditions of transport.

The STC-HBU cask body maximum allowable component temperatures are shown in Section 3.8.3.2. The maximum temperatures of the major STC-HBU components, the basket components, and fuel rod cladding temperatures, are shown in Tables 3.8-4 and 3.8-5.

3.8.4-6

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A 3.8.4.3 Minimum Temperatures The minimum temperatures in the cask occur with no heat load and -40°F ambient temperature, yielding a uniform -40°F temperature distribution throughout the STC-HBU package.

3.8.4.4 Maximum Thermal Stresses The ANSYS computer code is used to obtain temperatures for use in the structural analyses for the STC-HBU. These temperatures are presented in Tables 3.8-4 and 3.8-5. The thermal stress calculations are performed in Sections 2.13.6.12.3 and 2.13.6.14.2.

3.8.4.5 Summary of the STC-HBU Performance for Normal Conditions of Transport Results of the thermal analysis of the STC-HBU for normal transport conditions are summarized in Tables 3.8-4 and 3.8-5. The maximum fuel rod cladding temperature is maintained well below 400°C; temperatures of safety-related cask components are maintained within their safe operating ranges; and thermally-induced stresses in combination with pressure and mechanical load stresses are shown in the structural analysis of Chapter 2 to be less than the allowable stresses for both of the transport configurations. Therefore, the analyses in Section 3.8.4 demonstrate that the STC-HBU can safely transport the high burnup fuels under the normal transport conditions specified in 10 CFR 71.71.

The maximum cask surface temperature of the STC-HBU for the 100°F ambient condition is 264°F, which is 6°F higher than the maximum cask surface temperature of 258°F of the Yankee-MPC with a heat load of 12.5 kW. The increase of 6°F would not significantly alter the natural convection from the cask surface in comparing the STC-HBU and Yankee-MPC thermal performances. By adding this 6°F to the maximum personnel barrier temperature of 140F for the Yankee-MPC, the maximum temperature of the personnel barrier for the STC-HBU is conservatively estimated to be 146°F, which is well below the allowable temperature of 185F for exclusive use shipment. Therefore, the STC-HBU can safely transport the design basis fuel under the normal conditions of transport specified in 10 CFR 71.43.

NAC-STC SAR February 2019 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 19 However, the metallic and non-metallic O-rings may not be used interchangeably, as the O-ring grooves in the lids and port covers are different for each O-ring type. As specified in the appropriate steps of this procedure and detailed in Table 7.4-1, the three configurations of O-rings have different allowable leak rates so the lid and O-ring configurations to be used must be confirmed and the associated leak test requirements identified.

1. Using approved fuel identification and handling procedures and fuel handling equipment, engage the fuel handling tool to the top of the fuel assembly, lift it from the storage rack location, transfer it to above the cask, and carefully lower it into the designated location in the fuel basket. Be careful not to contact any of the sealing surfaces on the top forging, or to come in contact with the inner lid guide pins during fuel assembly movement.

Note: a. Each fuel assembly shall contain the standard number of fuel rods for an assembly of that type. Dummy rods of equivalent water displacement must be substituted for removed fuel rods.

b. Perform an independent verification that the spent fuel assemblies loaded in the fuel basket are in full compliance with the content conditions of the NAC-STC Certification of Compliance (CoC) No. 9235.
c. Following loading of HBU fuel assemblies, perform an independent verification that the HBU fuel contents comply with the designated maximum heat load per assembly specified for the loading configuration and that the correct number and loading positions for the fuel assemblies and shielded thermal shunts correspond to the applicable loading configuration identified on NAC License Drawing No. 423-800.
2. Record in the cask loading report the fuel identification number and basket position where the fuel assembly was placed.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the basket is fully loaded or until all desired fuel assemblies have been loaded. If the cask is going to be partially loaded, the fuel assemblies should be loaded, if possible, in a fully symmetric pattern to ensure that the center of gravity of the cask remains aligned as close as possible to the longitudinal axis of the cask.
4. Attach the inner lid lifting sling to an auxiliary crane hook and lift the inner lid. If not performed previously, remove the inner lid metallic O-ring assembly, clean the groove surfaces, and install new metallic O-rings. Inspect new O-rings for damage prior to installation. Secure the metallic O-rings in the groove by the use of the O-ring clips and screws. Similarly, replace the metallic O-rings in the vent and drain port coverplates, or inspect the Viton O-rings and replace if required. Replaced vent and drain port coverplates inner Viton O-rings are required to be helium leakage tested to the 7.1-7

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A maintenance leakage rate per Table 7.4-1. Verify vent and drain port QDVCs are removed to allow cask cavity to vent.

5. After replacing the inner lid O-rings, as required, lift the inner lid and place it on the cask using the inner lid alignment pins to assist in proper lid seating and orientation. Visually verify proper lid position.
6. Disconnect the lid lifting device from the auxiliary crane hook and remove crane hook from area.
7. Attach the lifting yoke to the crane hook, lower the lifting yoke into the lifting position over the cask lifting trunnions, and engage the lifting arms to the lifting trunnions. Slowly lift the cask out of the pool until the top of the cask is slightly above the pool water level.

Note: As an alternative method, the cask and inner lid may be handled simultaneously.

In the event that this method is chosen, instead of performing steps 5, 6 and 7, attach the lifting yoke to a crane hook and the inner lid lifting eyes to the lift yoke.

Lower the lid and engage to the cask using the lid alignment pins. Engage lifting arms to lifting trunnions. Slowly lift the cask out of the pool until the top of the cask is slightly above the pool water level.

8. Attach a drain line to the quick-disconnect in the interlid port (located in the top forging) and allow the water to drain from the interlid region. Once drained, disconnect the drain line.
9. Install at least 10 inner lid bolts equally spaced on the bolt circle to hand tight.
10. Continue raising the cask from the pool while spraying the external cask surfaces with clean water to minimize surface contamination levels.
11. Move the cask to the cask decontamination area, lower the cask to the floor and disengage the lift yoke (or lift beam and inner lid lifting slings if the alternate method of handling the inner lid was used). Remove the lift yoke and crane from the area.
12. Re-install the QDVC in the vent port and connect a vent line to the vent port quick-disconnect. Direct the free end of the vent line to a radioactive waste handling system capable of handling liquids and gas.
13. Remove the inner lid alignment pins and install the remaining inner lid bolts and torque all of the bolts to the torque value specified in Table 7-1. The bolt torquing sequence is shown on the inner lid.
14. Re-install the QDVC in the drain port and connect a drain line to the drain port quick-disconnect (located in the inner lid). For HBU PWR spent fuel contents proceed to Step 15, and for standard ( 45,000 MWd/MTU) PWR fuel assemblies, proceed to Step 18.
15. For HBU PWR fuel assemblies with a containment boundary provided by Viton O-rings, drain approximately 50 gallons from the cask cavity by connecting a helium supply to the vent port quick-disconnect (located in the inner lid). Purge the water from the cask by 7.1-8

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A pressurizing to 35 to 40 psig. Following removal of approximately 50 gallons, turn the helium supply off and disconnect the drain line from the drain port quick-disconnect.

Reconnect the vent line to the vent port quick disconnect to vent cask cavity.

Note: See Table 7.4-1 for details on required containment boundary seals leakage test requirements and allowable leakage rates.

16. Connect a vacuum pump to the inner lid interseal port via the quick-disconnect in the inner lid. Evacuate the inner lid interseal volume between the inner and outer Viton O-rings until a pressure of 4 mbar is reached to remove water and moisture from the inner lid interseal volume.
17. Perform a leak test on the inner lid inner Viton O-ring of a NAC-STC containing HBU fuel assemblies as follows:
a. Perform the preshipment leakage rate test by pressurizing the inner lid interseal volume with helium to a pressure of 15 psig (+2, -0 psi). The test is acceptable if there is no loss of pressure during a 15-minute minimum hold period, which meets the required test sensitivity 10-3 ref.cm3/s.
b. After successful completion of the preshipment leakage rate test of the inner lid O-ring seals, the cask preparation procedures will restart at Step 18 except that Step 22 does not need to be performed as the preshipment leakage rate test has been completed.
c. If preshipment leakage rate test is not acceptable after two attempts, prepare cask for re-immersion in the spent fuel pool for lid and spent fuel removal, and Viton O-ring seal replacement, as described in Section 7.3.2.1, Steps 8 through 15, and Section 7.3.3.1, Steps 1 thru 3, and then perform the following procedure sequence:
1) Attach the lifting yoke to the crane hook, lower the lifting yoke into the lifting position over the cask lifting trunnions, and engage the lifting arms to the lifting trunnions. Slowly lift the cask out of the pool and move it to the cask preparation area
2) Following inner Viton O-ring replacement, dry all inner lid sealing surfaces and reinstall inner lid on the cask using the inner lid alignment pins to assist in proper lid seating and orientation. Visually verify proper lid position.
3) Remove the inner lid alignment pins and install the inner lid bolts and torque all of the bolts to the torque value specified in Table 7-1. The bolt torquing sequence is shown on the inner lid.
4) Re-install the QDVCs in the vent and drain port opening and torque to the value specified in Table 7-1.

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A

5) Drain approximately 50 gallons from the cask cavity by connecting a helium (99.9% minimum purity) supply to the vent port quick-disconnect (located in the inner lid) and a drain line to the drain port quick disconnect. Purge the water from the cask by pressurizing to 35 to 40 psig. Following removal of approximately 50 gallons, turn the helium supply off and maintain the helium pressure above the cavity water.
6) Remove the inner lid interseal test port plug and connect the helium Mass Spectrometer Leak Detector (MSLD) to the interseal test port to verify the new inner lid inner Viton O-ring leakage rate is 2.0 x 10-7 cm3/sec (helium) with a minimum test sensitivity of 1.0 x 10-7 cm3/sec (helium).
7) After successful completion of the maintenance leakage rate test of the inner lid O-ring seals, the cask preparation and loading procedures will restart at Step 5 in Section 7.1.2.1.
18. Drain the cask cavity by connecting a helium supply to the vent port quick-disconnect and a drain line to the drain port quick-disconnect. Purge the water from the cask by pressurizing to 35 to 40 psig and hold until all water is removed (observed when no water is coming from the drain line). Turn the helium supply off, vent the helium from the cavity and disconnect the helium supply line from the vent port. Then, disconnect the drain line from the drain port quick-disconnect.
19. Connect a vacuum drying system to the cask cavity via the vent and drain port quick-disconnects in the inner lid. Evacuate the cask cavity until a pressure of 4 mbar is reached. Continue pumping for a minimum of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after reaching 4 mbar. Valve off vacuum pump from system and turn vacuum pump off. Using a calibrated vacuum gauge (minimum gauge readability of 2.5 mbar), observe for a cask cavity pressure rise. If a pressure rise (P) of more than 12 mbar in ten minutes is observed, continue pumping until the pressure does not rise more than 12 mbar in ten minutes. Repeat dryness test until cavity dryness has been verified (P < 12 mbar in 10 minutes). Record test results in the cask loading report.
20. Without disconnecting the vacuum drying system from the vent and drain port quick disconnects and allowing air to re-enter the cask cavity, turn off and isolate the vacuum pump. Backfill the cask cavity with helium (99.9% minimum purity) through the vent port quick-disconnect to a final helium pressure of 0 psig helium pressure (+1, -0 psi).
21. Install the drain and vent port coverplates using new metallic O-rings or inspected Viton O-rings. Torque the bolts to the value indicated in Table 7-1.

7.1.3.2 Loading Canistered Fuel, Canistered GTCC Waste, or HLW Overpacks Canistered fuel, canistered GTCC waste, or HLW Overpacks are loaded into the NAC-STC using a transfer cask. This procedure assumes that the canister, or overpack, has been previously loaded, drained, vacuum dried, backfilled with helium and welded closed, as applicable. The 7.1-13

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A canister, or overpack, may have been retrieved from dry storage, or it may have been loaded and sealed immediately prior to loading in the NAC-STC.

Canisters containing spent nuclear fuel that are to be retrieved from storage for off-site transport will be evaluated to ensure that the specific canister stored in the storage overpack, which may have been subject to 10 CFR 72 normal, off-normal, accident and natural phenomena events, retain their ability to satisfy functional and performance requirements of the NAC-STC packaging certified content conditions. Similarly, GTCC Waste canisters and HLW Overpacks will be evaluated to ensure that the specific canister or overpack, which may have been exposed to off-normal, accident and/or natural phenomena events during storage operations prior to loading for transport, retain their ability to satisfy functional and performance requirements of the NAC-STC packaging certified content conditions.

Canisters containing spent nuclear fuel experiencing only normal or off-normal events during storage, and canistered GTCC waste and HLW Overpacks need only be evaluated for potential corrosion at the welds and any damage caused by removal from the storage cask.

In addition to the evaluation done for normal/off-normal storage, canisters containing spent nuclear fuel that have experienced accident or natural phenomena events must be evaluated for potential degradation of the fuel, basket and neutron absorbers. This evaluation will be performed for each canister as part of the preparation for loading for off-site transport using:

1) the annual inspection and surveillance records and off-normal and accident event reports that are maintained by the licensee for each loaded NAC-MPC system in compliance with 10 CFR 72 requirements; and 2) in the case of storage accidents and natural phenomena events, any necessary examinations at the time of transfer to ensure the condition of the canister and contents.

Dry storage systems that have been maintained within an Aging Management Program will include system specific review and assessment of this information record as part of the off-site transport evaluation to ensure the NAC-STC packaging certified content conditions are validated. Maximum assembly average burnup for fuel assemblies retrieved from dry storage for off-site transport is limited to 45,000 MWd/MTU. System loading into the NAC-STC will be observed by operations staff noting any system interferences that occur during canister retrieval from the storage overpack and placement of the canister into the transport overpack. The cause of the interference and potential damage caused by the interference will be determined prior to shipment. Noted interferences will be made part of the canister evaluation record to the extent 7.1-14

Canistered fuel, GTCC waste canisters, and HLW canisters loaded in HLW Overpacks may have been loaded just prior to shipment or may have been in interim storage in a separate storage overpack.

7.2-2

NAC-STC SAR March 2022 Docket No. 71-9235 Revision 22A Prior to placing a directly loaded cask in long-term storage, the cask cavity is backfilled with 1.0 atmosphere (absolute) of helium (99.9% minimum purity) as the normal coolant for the spent fuel and to provide an inert atmosphere to prevent possible oxidation of the fuel. The inner lid interseal volume between the two inner lid metallic gaskets and the interseal volume between the O-rings in the vent and drain port covers are backfilled with 15 psig of helium (99.9% minimum purity). The interlid volume is pressurized to 100 psig and that pressure is monitored for pressure loss by a pressure transducer installed in the cask upper forging, and closed by a specially equipped port cover filled with a pressure feed-through tube (License Drawing No. 423-807). This overpressure system ensures that in the off-normal event of any leakage of the inner lid or port cover O-rings, the leakage path will be clean helium into the cavity. If, during the storage period, no significant pressure loss is observed in the pressure monitoring volume or system (normally recorded at a minimum of once every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> during storage), it can be concluded that at the end of the storage period, the cask cavity remains backfilled with helium gas.

Prior to preparing the cask for transport, the pressure transducer wiring has been disconnected.

1. Move cask from extended storage location to a designated work area.
2. Evacuate a sample bottle using a vacuum pump and remove the interlid pressure port cover. Isolate the sample bottle and connect it to the interlid port quick-disconnect and fill it with interlid region atmosphere.

Note: The interlid pressure may be as high as 100 psig. Use caution in collecting the gas sample.

3. Isolate the sample bottle and disconnect it from the interlid port quick-disconnect.
4. Bring the sample bottle to the appropriate facility and analyze the contents of the sample bottle.
5. If krypton-85 is present in the sample bottle, additional radiological precautions may be imposed by Health Physics personnel prior to proceeding with the removal of the outer lid. A determination shall also be made as to whether replacement of the inner lid seals is required. If the gas sample is acceptable, proceed with normal operations.
6. Attach valved venting hose to interlid port quick-disconnect and open valve to vent interlid region.
7. Remove the outer lid bolts and install the outer lid alignment pins and outer lid lifting eye bolts.
8. Attach the outer lid lifting device to the outer lid lifting eye bolts and overhead crane.
