Plant personnel hand tightened the nut and verified that none of the other 16 casks in the facility had nuts that were loose to the touch.</br>The Diablo Canyon ISFSI design requires that each spent fuel storage cask be installed with the cask compressed against the embedment plate using 16, two-inch diameter, anchor studs. Each stud is pre-loaded to approximately 157,000 lbf. This design ensures the cask will remain stable during a seismic event. A manufacturer's analysis of the stability of the cask with all of the 16 hold down stud nuts installed with no pre-load concluded that the cask would maintain its stability during a seismic event.</br>PG&E has contracted the vendor to re-tension the stud and expect(s) completion (by) 1/13/2012.
