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.
FUEL BUILDING The FUEL BUILDING is the site-specific power plant facility, governed by the regulations of 10 CFR Part 50, where the loaded OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is transferred to or from the transporter.
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 include MPC transfer between the TRANSFER CASK and the OVERPACK.
MULTI-PURPOSE CANISTER MPCs are the sealed spent nuclear fuel canisters (MPC) which 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.

Definitions 1.1 Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.1-2 1.1 Definitions (continued)
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 includes transfer of the MPC between the OVERPACK and the TRANSFER CASK.
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 Amendment No. 0
Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.2-1 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.
(continued)
Renewed Amendment No. 0
Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.2-2 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.
(continued)
Renewed Amendment No. 0
Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.2-3 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.
Renewed Amendment No. 0
Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.3-1 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 enteringan ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the HI-STORM 100 System 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 HI-STORM 100 System 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.

Completion Times 1.3 Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.3-2 1.3 Completion Times (continued)
EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of Completion Times with different types of Conditions and changing Conditions.

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.

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.4-1 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 3.0, 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 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.
(continued)
Renewed Amendment No. 0
Frequency 1.4 Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.4-2 1.4 Frequency (contiuned)
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 or variables are outside specified limits, or the facility is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 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 3.0.1.
If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 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 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4 (continued)
Renewed Amendment No. 0
Frequency 1.4 Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 1.4-3 1.4 Frequency EXAMPLES (continued)
EXAMPLE 1.4-2 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify flow 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 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 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.

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.
SR 3.0.3 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.

Programs 5.0 Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Appendix A 5.0-1 5.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS AND PROGRAMS The following programs shall be established, implemented, and maintained.
5.1 Training Program A training program for the HI-STORM 100 Cask System shall be developed under the general licensee's systematic approach to training (SAT).
Training modules shall include comprehensive instructions for the operation and maintenance of the HI-STORM 100 Cask System and the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI).
5.2 Pre-Operational Testing and Training Exercise A dry run training exercise of the loading, closure, handling, unloading, and transfer of the HI-STORM 100 Cask 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. 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 MPC and TRANSFER CASK into the spent fuel pool.
b.
Preparation of the HI-STORM 100 Cask System for fuel loading.
c.
Selection and verification of specific fuel assemblies to ensure type conformance.
d.
Locating specific assemblies and placing assemblies into the MPC (using a dummy fuel assembly), including appropriate independent verification.
e.
Remote installation of the MPC lid and removal of the MPC and TRANSFER CASK from the spent fuel pool.
f.
MPC welding, NDE inspections, hydrostatic testing, draining, vacuum drying, helium backfilling, and leakage testing. (A mock-up may be used for this dry-run exercise.)

Placement of the HI-STORM 100 SFSC System at the ISFSI.
j.
HI-STORM 100 Cask System unloading, including cooling fuel assemblies, flooding MPC cavity, removing MPC lid welds. (A mock-up may be used for this dry run exercise.)
5.3 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-STORM 100 SFSC Systems (MPC-24, MPC-68, and MPC-68F) 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.

Radioactive Effluent Control Program This program implements the requirements of 10 CFR 72.44(d).
a.
The HI-STORM 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 3.1.1, 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 operations.
c.
An annual report shall be submitted pursuant to 10 CFR 72.44(d)(3).
5.5 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. For lifting of the loaded TRANSFER CASK or OVERPACK using devices which are integral to a structure governed by 10 CFR Part 50 regulations, 10 CFR 50 requirements apply. This program is not applicable when the TRANSFER CASK or OVERPACK is in the FUEL BUILDING or is being handled by a device providing support from underneath (i.e., on a rail car, heavy haul trailer, air pads, etc.).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 72.212, this program shall evaluate the site-specific transport route conditions.
a.
The lift height above the transport surface prescribed in Section 3.4.6 of Appendix B to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 shall not exceed the limits in Table 5-1.
Also, the program shall ensure that the transport route conditions (i.e., surface hardness and pad thickness) are equivalent to or less limiting than those prescribed for the reference pad surface which forms the basis for the values cited in Section 3.4.6 of Appendix B to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014.

For site-specific transport conditions which are not bounded by the surface characteristics in Section 3.4.6 of Appendix B to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014, the program may evaluate the site-specific conditions to ensure that the impact loading due to design basis drop events does not exceed 45
- g. This alternative analysis shall be commensurate with the drop analyses described in the Topical Safety Analysis Report for the HI-STORM 100 Cask System.
The program shall ensure that these alternative analyses are documented and controlled.
c.
The TRANSFER CASK and MPC, when loaded with spent fuel, may be lifted to those heights necessary to perform cask handling operations, including MPC transfer, provided the lifts are made with structures and components designed in accordance with the criteria specified in Section 3.5 of Appendix B to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014, as applicable.

Each general licensee shall have a program to establish, implement, and maintain written procedures for each applicable AMP described in the FSAR.
The program shall include provisions for changing AMP elements, as necessary, and within the limitations of the approved design bases to address new information on aging effects based on inspection findings and/or industry operating experience. Each procedure shall contain a reference to the specific aspect of the AMP element implemented by that procedure, and that reference shall be maintained even if the procedure is modified.
The general licensee shall establish and implement these written procedures prior to entering the period of extended operation or no later than 365 days after the effective date of the renewal of the CoC, whichever is later. The general licensee shall maintain these written procedures for as long as the general licensee continues to operate HI-STORM 100 Cask Systems in service for longer than 20 years.
Each general licensee shall perform tollgate assessments as described in Chapter 9 of the FSAR.
