Accession No. ML24352A469) associated with the NRC review of EPRI Topical Report 3002025288, Enhanced Risk-Informed Categorization Methodology for Pressure Boundary Components (ML24211A073). Staff discussed their main concern with the methodology and the potential uncertainty associated with the failure rates of certain non-code repairs that could be implemented after categorization of high-consequence structures, systems, and components (SSCs) as low safety significance (LSS). EPRI will be providing responses to the RAI in April.

Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Items of Interest Week Ending March 14, 2025 List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks:
HI-STORM 100, Certificate of Compliance No. 1014, Renewed Amendment No. 19; Direct Final Rule; 10 CFR 72 (NRC-2024-0215; RIN 3150-AL24)
On March 13, 2025, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) published a notice in the Federal Register (90 FR 11891) amending its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System listing within the List of approved spent fuel storage casks to include Renewed Amendment No. 19 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1014.
Renewed Amendment No. 19 revises the certificate of compliance to update the acceptance criteria and method of evaluation (MOE) for the HI-STORM 100 system tipover accident for equipment combinations involving multi-purpose canisters (MPCs) with Metamic-HT baskets.
This involves applying a new stress-based criteria and completing new evaluations consistent with the new tipover acceptance criteria and MOE and involves some adjustments of the existing deflection criteria. Comments are requested by April 14, 2025. The companion proposed rule was also published in the Federal Register on March 13, 2025 (90 FR 11906).
The direct final rule is effective May 27, 2025.
