SUBJECT:

Spent Fuel Storage Radioactive Effluent Release Report for 2020 Waterford Steam Electric Station, Unit 3 Docket No. 72-75 General License Waterford 3 Certificate of Compliance for Spent Fuel Storage Casks Section 5.4 requires the submittal of an Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report. Additionally, Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations 72.44(d) (3) requires the annual submittal of a submittal of a summary of effluents from the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility. Waterford 3 hereby submits the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) annual effluent report for the previous calendar year.

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. The HI-STORM 100 Cask System is also designed and fabricated with a totally seal-welded pressure vessel such that leakage from the confinement boundary is not considered to be a credible occurrence. Therefore, there were no radionuclides released to the environment in liquid or gaseous effluents from the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility at Waterford 3 for the calendar year 2020.

This letter contains no new commitments. Please contact Paul Wood, Regulatory Assurance Manager, at (504) 464-3786 if you have questions regarding this information.
