The method to calculate the limits and verify compliance, including examples, is provided in Chapter 12 of the HI-STORM 100 FSAR.

2.4.1 Uniform Fuel Loading Decay Heat Limits for ZR-clad fuel Table 2.4-1 provides the maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for ZR-clad fuel in uniform fuel loading for each MPC model.

Approved Contents 2.0 2.4.2 Regionalized Fuel Loading Decay Heat Limits for ZR-Clad Fuel (INTACT FUEL only)

The maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for fuel in regionalized loading is determined using the following equations:

Q(X) = 2 x x Q0 / (1 + Xy) y = 0.23 / X0.1 q2 = Q(X) / (n1 x X +n2) q1 = q2 x X Where:

Q0 = Maximum uniform storage MPC decay heat (34 kW)

= Penalty Factor (0.894)

X = Inner region to outer region assembly decay heat ratio (0.5 < X < 3) n1 = Number of storage locations in inner region from Table 2.4-2.

n2 = Number of storage locations in outer region from Table 2.4-2.

Approved Contents 2.0 2.4.3 Burnup Limits as a Function of Cooling Time for ZR-Clad Fuel The maximum allowable fuel assembly average burnup varies with the following parameters:

$ Minimum fuel assembly cooling time

$ Maximum fuel assembly decay heat

$ Minimum fuel assembly average enrichment The maximum allowable ZR-clad fuel assembly average burnup for a given MINIMUM ENRICHMENT is calculated as described below for minimum cooling times between 3 and 20 years using the maximum permissible decay heat determined in Section 2.4.1 or 2.4.2. Different fuel assembly average burnup limits may be calculated for different minimum enrichments (by individual fuel assembly) for use in choosing the fuel assemblies to be loaded into a given MPC.

2.4.3.1 Choose a fuel assembly minimum enrichment, E235.

2.4.3.2 Calculate the maximum allowable fuel assembly average burnup for a minimum cooling time between 3 and 20 years using the equation below.

Bu = (A x q) + (B x q2) + (C x q3) + [D x (E235)2] + (E x q x E235) + (F x q2 x E235) + G Where:

Bu = Maximum allowable average burnup per fuel assembly (MWD/MTU) q= Maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location determined in Section 2.4.1 or 2.4.2 (kW)

E235 =Minimum fuel assembly average enrichment (wt. % 235U)

A through G = Coefficients from Tables 2.4-3 and 2.4-4 for the applicable fuel assembly array/class and minimum cooling time Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix B-100U 2-28

Approved Contents 2.0 2.4.3.3 Calculated burnup limits shall be rounded down to the nearest integer.

2.4.3.4 Calculated burnup limits greater than 68,200 MWD/MTU for PWR fuel and 65,000 MWD/MTU for BWR must be reduced to be equal to these values.

2.4.3.5 Linear interpolation of calculated burnups between cooling times for a given fuel assembly maximum decay heat and minimum enrichment is permitted. For example, the allowable burnup for a cooling time of 4.5 years may be interpolated between those burnups calculated for 4 year and 5 years.

2.4.3.6 Each ZR-clad fuel assembly to be stored must have a MINIMUM ENRICHMENT greater than or equal to the value used in Step 2.4.3.2.

2.4.4 When complying with the maximum fuel storage location decay heat limits, users must account for the decay heat from both the fuel assembly and any NON-FUEL HARDWARE, as applicable for the particular fuel storage location, to ensure the decay heat emitted by all contents in a storage location does not exceed the limit.

10. Prior to an excavation activity contiguous to an RPS, a seismic qualification of the ISFSI in the structurally most vulnerable configuration (i.e., maximum amount of earth removed) shall be performed to verify that the stability of the SFP, the TSP and the shielding material within the RPS, with or without the Retaining Wall, is maintained. If a Retaining Wall is not installed in any side of the ISFSI then an Excavation Exclusion Zone shall be established inside which excavation is prohibited by performing an appropriate SSI analysis.

11. In cases where engineered features (i.e., berms and shield walls) are used to ensure that the requirements of 10 CFR 72.104(a) are met, such features are to be considered important to safety and must be evaluated to determine the applicable quality assurance category.

12. LOADING OPERATIONS, TRANSPORT OPERATIONS, and UNLOADING OPERATIONS shall only be conducted with working area ambient temperatures 0o F.

13. For those users whose site-specific design basis includes an event or events (e.g., flood) that result in the blockage of any VVM inlet or outlet air ducts for an extended period of time (i.e, longer than the total Completion Time of LCO 3.1.2),

an analysis or evaluation may be performed to demonstrate adequate heat removal is available for the duration of the event. Adequate heat removal is defined as fuel cladding temperatures remaining below the short term temperature limit. If the analysis or evaluation is not performed, or if fuel cladding temperature limits are unable to be demonstrated by analysis or evaluation to remain below the short term temperature limit for the duration of the event, provisions shall be established to provide alternate means of cooling to accomplish this objective.

14. Users shall establish procedural and/or mechanical barriers to ensure that during LOADING OPERATIONS and UNLOADING OPERATIONS, either the fuel cladding is covered by water, or the MPC is filled with an inert gas.

45,000 MWD/MTU) with lower MPC heat load and mandatory for drying MPCs containing one or more high burnup fuel assemblies or higher MPC heat load as indicated in Appendix A-100U Table 3-1. The FHD system shall be designed for normal operation (i.e., excluding startup and shutdown ramps) in accordance with the criteria in Section 3.6.2.

3.6.2 Design Criteria 3.6.2.1 The temperature of the helium gas in the MPC shall be at least 15oF higher than the saturation temperature at coincident pressure.

3.6.2.2 The pressure in the MPC cavity space shall be 60.3 psig (75 psia) during drying. Backfill pressures shall be as described in Appendix A.

3.6.2.3 The hourly recirculation rate of helium shall be 10 times the nominal helium mass backfilled into the MPC for fuel storage operations.

3.6.2.4 The partial pressure of the water vapor in the MPC cavity will not exceed 3 torr. The limit is met if the gas temperature at the demoisturizer outlet is verified by measurement to remain 21oF for a period of 30 minutes or if the dew point of the gas exiting the MPC is verified by measurement to remain 22.9oF for 30 minutes.

3.6.2.5 The condensing module shall be designed to de-vaporize the recirculating helium gas to a dew point 120oF.

3.6.2.6 The demoisturizing module shall be configured to be introduced into its helium conditioning function after the condensing module has been operated for the required length of time to assure that the bulk moisture vaporization in the MPC (defined as Phase 1 in FSAR Appendix 2.B) has been completed.

3.6.2.7 The helium circulator shall be sized to effect the minimum flow rate of circulation required by these design criteria.

3.6.2.8 The pre-heater module shall be engineered to ensure that the temperature of the helium gas in the MPC meets these design criteria.

DESIGN FEATURES (continued) 3.6 Forced Helium Dehydration System (continued) 3.6.3 Fuel Cladding Temperature A steady-state thermal analysis of the MPC under the forced helium flow scenario shall be performed using the methodology described in HI-STORM 100 FSAR Section 4.4, with due recognition of the forced convection process during FHD system operation. This analysis shall demonstrate that the peak temperature of the fuel cladding, under the most adverse condition of FHD system operation, is below the peak cladding temperature limit for normal conditions of storage for the applicable fuel type (PWR or BWR) and cooling time at the start of dry storage.

3.6.4 Pressure Monitoring During FHD Malfunction During an FHD malfunction event, described in HI-STORM 100 FSAR Chapter 11 as a loss of helium circulation, the system pressure must be monitored to ensure that the conditions listed therein are met.

Design Features 3.0 DESIGN FEATURES (continued) 3.10 Periodic Corrosion Inspections for Underground Systems HI-STORM 100U VVM ISFSIs not employing an impressed current cathodic protection system shall be subject to visual and UT inspection of at least one representative VVM to check for significant corrosion of the CEC Container Shell and Bottom Plate at an interval not to exceed 20 years. The VVM chosen for inspection is not required to be in use or to have previously contained a loaded MPC. The VVM considered to be most vulnerable to corrosion degradation shall be selected for inspection. If significant corrosion is identified, either an evaluation to demonstrate sufficient continued structural integrity (sufficient for at least the remainder of the licensing period) shall be performed or the affected VVM shall be promptly scheduled for repair or decommissioning.

Through wall corrosion shall not be permitted without promptly scheduling for repair or decommissioning. Promptness of repair or decommissioning shall be commensurate with the extent of degradation of the VVM but shall not exceed 3 years from the date of inspection.

If the representative VVM is determined to require repair or decommissioning, the next most vulnerable VVM shall be selected for inspection. This inspection process shall conclude when a VVM is found that does not require repair or decommissioning. Since the last VVM inspected is considered more prone to corrosion than the remaining un-inspected VVMs, the last VVM inspected becomes the representative VVM for the remaining VVMs.

Inspections Visual Inspection: Visual inspection of the inner surfaces of the CEC Container Shell and Bottom Plate for indications of significant or through wall corrosion (i.e., holes).

UT Inspection: The UT inspection is performed on the inside surfaces of the CEC. A minimum of 16 data points shall be obtained, 4 near the top, 4 near the mid-height and 4 near the bottom of the CEC Container Shell all approximately 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees apart; and 4 on the CEC Bottom Plate near the CEC Container Shell approximately 0, 90, 180, and 270 degrees apart. Locations where visual inspection has identified potentially significant corrosion shall also receive UT inspection.

Locations suspected of significant corrosion may receive further UT inspection to determine the extent of corrosion.

Inspection Criteria General wall thinning exceeding 1/8 in depth and local pitting exceeding 1/4" in depth are conditions of significant corrosion.
