NMSS Staff Issued Exemption to Arizona Public Service Company

On July 5, 2023, staff issued an exemption to Arizona Public Service Company (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML23166B082). The exemption authorizes the licensee to deviate from the requirements in Certificate of Compliance No. 1031 for the MAGNASTOR storage cask, by using cask lids that were not fabricated in accordance with the requirements of two American Concrete Institute (ACI) codes. This exemption is to support a spent fuel loading campaign scheduled for July at the Palo Verde Generating Station.

The staff determined that the more limited set of requirements proposed in the Technical Specifications for the concrete in the cask lid, in lieu of the requirements of ACI 349 and ACI 318, are suitable to ensure that the lid can adequately perform its required shielding safety function.
