Enclosure 2 FY22 Summary of Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Inspection Findings Type Licensee/ Description Applicable Category CoC Holder Regulation SL IV - NCV NAC NAC failed to obtain a CoC amendment for changes to 10 CFR 72.48 Design International ACI-318 requirements for the MAGNASTOR cask Changes, Changes system that required a change to the specifications Tests, and incorporated in the MAGNASTOR System CoC No. Experiments 1031 Amendments 0-6.
SL IV - NCV NAC Petersen failed to ensure a final dimensional 10 CFR Procedural International verification occurs after adjusting the MAGNASTOR 72.150 Adherence fuel basket within fabrication procedures. Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings SL IV - NCV NAC Petersen failed to perform an adequate Magnetic 10 CFR Testing International particle testing (MT) inspection of a fuel tube seam 72.158 weld. Control of Special Processes SL IV - NOV ORANO- Container Products Corporation (CPC) took 10 CFR Corrective Transport inadequate corrective actions during the previous 71.133 Action Logistics inspection to ensure that applicable suppliers on its Corrective International QSL received a triennial audit as required by the CPC Action Inc. QAM Section QAP-1007, and that the QSL was maintained current with qualified vendors. Specifically, Airgas Performance Plus Division and Branham Corporation have not been audited in the past three years but remained on the QSL.
SL IV - NCV TN 10 CFR 72.48(c)(1)(ii)(B) - Change incorporated in the 10 CFR 72.48 Design Americas, CoC. TN made changes in the spent fuel storage cask Changes, Changes LLC design as described in sections A.2.1.4 and A.2.4.2 of Tests, and the NUHOMS EOS UFSAR (as updated) Experiments without meeting the requirements in the CoC.
Specifically, ORANO modified the UFSAR requirements for the MX-LC without performing an evaluation for an accident drop as required by CoC Condition 5, Heavy Loads Requirements and TS 5.2.1 because the MX-LC failed to meet the single failure proof requirements in the ASME NOG-1 2015 standard.
SL IV - NCV TN 10 CFR 72.48(d)(1)(c)(2)(i) and (c)(2)(vi) 10 CFR 72.48 Design Americas, TN revised UFSAR to remove the words to prevent Changes, Changes LLC boiling in the annulus and instead provided guidance Tests, and on how to manage the TC/DSC annulus water level Experiments during loading and unloading. TN failed to provide a bases for the determination that the presence of boiling water in the DSC and TC annulus does not require a CoC amendment.

SL IV - NCV TN TN failed to subject design changes, including field 10 CFR Design Americas, changes, to design control measures commensurate 72.146 Changes LLC with those applied to the original design in that TN Design supported a field change for a general licensee and did Control not properly analyze for tornado wind pressures without considering all assumptions from the original design.
SL IV - NOV Croft Croft took inadequate corrective action from the NRC 10 CFR Corrective 2017 inspection of Croft and the NRC 2019 inspection 71.133 Action of Croft fabricator Oxford Engineering Limited. Corrective Specifically, in 2017, Croft wrote Corrective Action Action Report (CAR) 136 to address that Croft Associates Procedure (CAP) 12-01, Issue S, Audit Procedure, failed to require a periodicity for internal audits as required by 10 CFR, Section 71.137, Audits to ensure all applicable quality assurance criteria are audited on a periodic basis. However, the actions taken by the CAR did not directly align with the issue and the issue was not corrected. In 2017, Croft wrote CAR 137 to address that CAP 05-17, Issue E, Conditions Adverse to Quality, and CAP 12-03, Issue M, QMS Corrective Action, did not provide guidance to determine the cause of Significant Conditions Adverse to Quality and the corrective action necessary to preclude repetition.
However, the actions taken by the CAR did not directly align with the issue and the issue was not corrected.
In 2017, Croft wrote CAR 137 to address that CAP 05-17, Issue E, Conditions Adverse to Quality, and CAP 12-03, Issue M, QMS Corrective Action, did not provide guidance to determine the cause of Significant Conditions Adverse to Quality and the corrective action necessary to preclude repetition. However, the actions taken by the CAR did not directly align with the issue and the issue was not corrected.
In 2019, Croft wrote CAR 147 to address that CAP 06-08, Approved Supplier, Step 2.2.1 required that a Quality Category A supplier shall have a current assessment and approval to an appropriate quality system standard. Croft assessed Oxford Engineering Limited to qualify them to encompass the additional requirements of 10 CFR Part 71, but Oxford Engineerings internal auditor did not meet those requirements, nor did Oxford Engineering have a quality procedure or process in place for qualifying internal auditors. However, the actions taken by the CAR did not directly align with the issue and the issue was not corrected.
In addition, during the 2022 inspection, several Croft Encl. 2 - 2
internal audits were sampled, and it was determined that no CARs had been written when findings had been identified as a result of the audits. CAP 12-01, Audit Procedure, Section 2.3 states that when carrying out an internal audit, nonconformances must be recorded on the CAR database.
SL IV - NCV Croft Inadequate procedures. CAP- 02-02, Project Quality 10 CFR Procedural Plan; CAP-02-04, Project Specifications; and CAP 71.111 Adequacy 05, Project Plan; are no longer current with what Croft Instructions, is actually doing to fill out Croft form QF 376, Project Procedures, Quality Plan. The form QF 376 had been revised, but and Drawings procedures CAP 02-02, CAP 02-04, and CAP 02-05, in which procedural guidance was to be provided on how to fill out QF 376, were no longer current with what Croft was actually doing to fill out form QF 376.
SL IV - NCV Xcel Energy/ SeAH Besteel Corpration's (SBC) corrective action 10 CFR Procedural TN Americas procedure failed to provide sufficient guidance to 72.150 Adequacy perform root cause analysis for significant conditions Instructions, adverse to quality to determine the corrective action Procedures, necessary to preclude repetition. and Drawings SL IV - NCV NAC Hitachi Zosen failed to perform an adequate audit of a 10 CFR Procurement International suppliers QA program to ensure it meets all applicable 72.154 requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, Subpart G. Control of purchased material, equipment, and services Enforcement Limerick The inspectors identified a violation of 10 CFR 72.48 10 CFR 72.48 Tornado Discretion Generating associated with tornado hazard protection. 10 CFR Changes, Hazards Station 72.48(c)(2)(ii) requires, in part, that a general licensee Tests, and shall request that the certificate holder obtain a CoC Experiments amendment pursuant to 10 CFR 72.244, prior to implementing a proposed change, if the change would result in more than a minimal increase in the likelihood of occurrence of a malfunction of a system, structure, or component (SSC) important to safety (ITS) previously evaluated in the FSAR. This requirement includes the configuration where the HI-STORM FW overpack is lifted by the hydraulic lifting gantry (HLG) as part of ISFSI operations. The HLG is an ITS component used in cask handling operations and is not designed to be operated in wind speeds exceeding 35 mph. The introduction of the ITS HLG met the criterion that resulted in more than minimal increase in the likelihood of occurrence of a malfunction of an SSC ITS previously evaluated in the FSAR. The general design criteria require ITS structures used in ISFSI operations to be designed to withstand the effects of tornado missiles and winds.
VLSSIR Joseph M. Cask Transfer Operations Outside of the Fuel 10 CFR Tornado Farley Handling Building 72.122 (b) Hazards Nuclear The inspectors identified that at the Farley Nuclear Overall Plant Plant, the licensee performs cask transfer operations Requirements outside of the fuel handling building. Following this operation, a mating device from the HI-STORM is 10 CFR removed, leaving the MPC within the HI-STORM 72.212(b) exposed to natural phenomena and after a short Conditions of duration the HI-STORM lid is placed onto the HI- CoC STORM.

Enforcement Dresden Tornado Hazards Protection at Independent Spent 10 CFR Tornado Discretion Nuclear Fuel Storage Installations 72.212(b) Hazards Power Upon issuance of U.S. NRC Enforcement Guidance Conditions of Station Memorandum (EGM)22-001 (ML22087A496), dated CoC April 15, 2022, the licensee performed an assessment of all outdoor dry cask storage activities that are not explicitly analyzed for tornado hazards in the cask licensing basis. One configuration was identified by the licensee when a loaded Holtec HI-STORM 100 storage overpack is brought out of the reactor building without a lid installed. This configuration is not explicitly analyzed in the HI-STORM 100 FSAR. Tornado hazards are evaluated in the Holtec HI-STORM Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) section 3.4.8, Tornado Wind and Missile Impact, and section 11.2.6.2, Tornado Analysis. These sections of the FSAR do not include an analysis for tornado hazards with the storage overpack lid removed. Similarly, the licensee did not have an evaluation demonstrating the reactor site parameters enveloped the cask design basis for tornado missiles specifically for the configuration where a loaded storage overpack was outdoors with the lid off.

Several configurations were identified by the licensee including when a loaded Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) with the shield plug is transferred out of the Spent Fuel Pool to the Cask Handling Facility and when the transfer cask lid is removed to insert the DSC into the Horizontal Storage Module (HSM). These configurations are not explicitly analyzed in the Standardized NUHOMS 72-1004 FSAR. Additionally, the licensee did not have an evaluation demonstrating the reactor site parameters enveloped the cask design basis for tornado missiles.
Enforcement South Texas Tornado Hazards Protection at Independent Spent 10 CFR Tornado Discretion Project Fuel Storage Installations 72.212(b) Hazards Upon issuance of U.S. NRC Enforcement Guidance Conditions of Memorandum (EGM)22-001 (ML22087A496), dated CoC April 15, 2022, the licensee performed an assessment of all outdoor dry cask storage activities that were not explicitly analyzed for tornado hazards in the systems FSAR. Two configurations were identified by the licensee where transport activities did not have a related tornado wind and hazard analysis consistent with the casks design basis requirements. These situations occurred during outside operations when the HI-STORM FW overpack was on the low-profile transporter with the HI-STORM FW overpack lid bolts not engaged and when the Vertical Cask Transporter carried the overpack using the HI-STORM FW lifting brackets.
