RENEWED CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE NO. 1008 APPENDIX B APPROVED CONTENTS AND DESIGN FEATURES FOR THE HI-STAR 100 CASK SYSTEM AMENDMENT 0

APPENDIX B DESIGN FEATURES 1.0 Definitions NOTE The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout this Appendix.-------------------------------------------------------------

Term Definition DAMAGED FUEL DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES are fuel assemblies with ASSEMBLY known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks. missing fuel rods that are not replaced with dummy fuel rods, or those that cannot be handled by normal means. A DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY's inability to be handled by normal means must be due to mechanical damage and must not be due to fuel rod cladding damage.

DAMAGED FUEL DFCs are specially designed enclosures for DAMAGED CONTAINER (DFC) FUEL ASSEMBLIES or FUEL DEBRIS which permit gaseous and liquid media to escape while minimizing dispersal of gross particulates.

FUEL DEBRIS FUEL DEBRIS is ruptured fuel rods. severed rods, loose fuel pellets or fuel assemblies with known or suspected defects which cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage.

INTACT FUEL INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES are fuel assemblies without ASSEMBLY known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks and which can be handled by normal means. Partial fuel assemblies. that is fuel assemblies from which fuel rods are missing, shall not be classified as INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES unless dummy fuel rods are used to displace an amount of water greater than or equal to that displaced by the original fuel rod(s)

PLANAR-AVERAGE PLANAR-AVERAGE INITIAL ENRICHMENT is the simple INITIAL ENRICHMENT average of the distributed fuel rod enrichments within a given axial plane of the assembly lattice.

Accessibility for leakage inspections preclude a Code compliant hydrostatic test. All MPG enclosure vessel welds (except the lid-to-shell and closure ring and venVdrain cover plate) are inspected by RT or UT. The MPG lid-to-shell root and final weld layers are PT examined and the entire weld is either UT examined or multilayer PT examined. The vent/drain cover plate weld is confirmed by leakage testing and liquid penetrant examination and the closure ring weld is confirmed by liquid penetrant examination.

The inspection process, including findings, (indications) shall be made a permanent part of the certificate holder's records by video, photographic, or other means which provide an equivalent retrievable record of weld integrity.

The video or photographic records should be taken during the final interpretation period described in ASME Section V, Article 6, T~676.
