SUBJECT:

APPLICATION FOR HOLTEC MODEL NO. HI-STORM UMAX, AMENDMENT NO. 5 - ACCEPTED FOR REVIEW - COST ACTIVITY CODE/ENTERPRISE PROJECT IDENTIFICATION NOS. 001028/L-2023-LLA-0176

Dear Ali Elzahri:

By letter dated December 14, 2023 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System

[ADAMS] Accession No. ML23348A302), as supplemented on April 18, 2024 (ML24136A189),

you submitted an application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for the amendment of HI-STORM UMAX Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1040. In your application you requested changes to the CoC to add new versions of the UMAX with lid features that will provide protection for colder canisters.

We have completed the acceptance review of your application and determined that it contains sufficient technical information in scope and depth. Therefore, your application has been accepted for detailed technical review. Your application has been assigned Cost Activity Code (CAC)/Enterprise Project Identification (EPID) Nos. 001028/L-2023-LLA-0176. Please reference these numbers and Docket No. 72-1040 in any future correspondence associated with this request.

Please note that the NRC staffs technical review of your submittal may identify issues that could require that you provide additional information. Based on our preliminary evaluation and projection of current review schedules, we anticipate completing our formal review and submitting the draft CoC and preliminary safety evaluation report to Rulemaking by December 2024. The schedule includes the issuance, if needed, of a request for additional information (RAI) by August 2024, and receiving your responses to the RAI within 45 days after its issuance. Rulemaking is estimated to take approximately 26 weeks, and if there are no significant adverse comments received during the comment period, the CoC revisions are estimated to become effective in June 2025. Please note that these dates could change depending on the findings of our technical review, urgent assignments, or other factors, such as whether your responses to the RAI are or not adequate. The NRC staff estimates that completing the review of your submittal will require approximately 465 staff hours. We will promptly communicate significant schedule and/or cost changes, if any.

In accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2.390, Public inspections, exemptions, requests for withholding, a copy of this letter will be available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR) or from the Publicly Available Records component of the NRCs ADAMS.
