Final Safety Analysis Report for the HI-STORM 100 Cask System CONDITIONS This certificate is conditional upon fulfilling the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, as applicable, the attached Appendix A (Technical Specifications) and Appendix B (Approved Contents and Design Features) for aboveground systems except Version E, HI-TRAC MS, MPC-32M, and Version 1 of MPC-32 and MPC-68; the attached Appendix C (Technical Specifications) and Appendix D (Approved Contents and Design Features) for the HI-STORM 100S Version E, HI-TRAC MS, MPC-32M, and Version 1 of MPC-32 and MPC-68M; or the attached Appendix A-100U (Technical Specifications) and Appendix B-100U (Approved Contents and Design Features) for underground systems, and the conditions specified below:
- 1. CASK
- a. Model No.: HI-STORM 100 Cask System The HI-STORM 100 Cask System (the cask) consists of the following components: (1) interchangeable multi-purpose canisters (MPCs), which contain the fuel; (2) a storage overpack (HI-STORM), which contains the MPC during storage; and (3) a transfer cask (HI-TRAC), which contains the MPC during loading, unloading and transfer operations. The cask stores up to 32 pressurized water reactor fuel assemblies or 68 boiling water reactor fuel assemblies.
- b. Description The HI-STORM 100 Cask System is certified as described in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) and in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commissions (NRC) Safety Evaluation Report (SER) accompanying the Certificate of Compliance (CoC). The cask comprises three discrete components: the MPC, the HI-TRAC transfer cask, and the HI-STORM storage overpack.
The MPC is the confinement system for the stored fuel. It is a welded, cylindrical canister with a honeycombed fuel basket, a baseplate, a lid, a closure ring, and the canister shell. All portions of MPC components that may come into contact with spent fuel pool water or the ambient environment are made of stainless steel or passivated aluminum/aluminum alloys such as the neutron absorbers. The canister shell, baseplate, lid, vent and drain port cover plates, and closure ring are the main confinement boundary components. All confinement boundary components are made entirely of stainless steel. The honeycombed basket, which contains neutron absorbing material, provides criticality control.

- 1. b. Description (continued)
There are twelve types of MPCs: the MPC-24, MPC-24E, MPC-24EF, MPC-32, MPC-32F, MPC-32 Version 1, MPC-32M, MPC-68, MPC-68 Version 1, MPC-68F, MPC-68FF, and MPC-68M. The number suffix indicates the maximum number of fuel assemblies permitted to be loaded in the MPC. All twelve MPC models have the same external diameter.
The HI-TRAC transfer cask provides shielding and structural protection of the MPC during loading, unloading, and movement of the MPC from the spent fuel pool to the storage overpack. The transfer cask is a multi-walled (carbon steel/lead/carbon steel) cylindrical vessel with a neutron shield jacket attached to the exterior.
All transfer cask sizes have identical cavity diameters. The higher weight HI-TRAC transfer casks have thicker shielding and larger outer dimensions than the lighter HI-TRAC transfer casks.
Above Ground Systems The HI-STORM 100 or 100S storage overpack provides shielding and structural protection of the MPC during storage. The HI-STORM 100S is a variation of the HI-STORM 100 overpack design. The overpack is a heavy-walled steel and concrete, cylindrical vessel. Its side wall consists of plain (un-reinforced) concrete that is enclosed between inner and outer carbon steel shells. The overpack has air vents at the bottom and at the top to allow air to circulate naturally through the cavity to cool the MPC inside. A loaded MPC is stored within the HI-STORM 100 or 100S storage overpack in a vertical orientation. The HI-STORM 100A and 100SA are variants of the HI-STORM 100 family and are outfitted with an extended baseplate and gussets to enable the overpack to be anchored to the concrete storage pad in high seismic applications. The version E can be arrayed in a free standing or anchored configuration.
Underground Systems The HI-STORM 100U System is an underground storage system identified with the HI-STORM 100 Cask System. The HI-STORM 100U storage Vertical Ventilated Module (VVM) utilizes a storage design identified as an air-cooled vault or caisson. The HI-STORM 100U storage VVM relies on vertical ventilation instead of conduction through the soil, as it is essentially a below-grade storage cavity. Air inlets and outlets allow air to circulate naturally through the cavity to cool the MPC inside. The subterranean steel structure is seal welded to prevent ingress of any groundwater from the surrounding subgrade, and it is mounted on a stiff foundation.
The surrounding subgrade and a top surface pad provide significant radiation shielding. A loaded MPC is stored within the HI-STORM 100U storage VVM in the vertical orientation.
- 2. OPERATING PROCEDURES Written operating procedures shall be prepared for cask handling, loading, movement, surveillance, and maintenance. The users site-specific written operating procedures shall be consistent with the technical basis described in Chapter 8 of the FSAR.
- 3. ACCEPTANCE TESTS AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAM Written cask acceptance tests and maintenance program shall be prepared consistent with the technical basis described in Chapter 9 of the FSAR.

ATTACHMENT 1 TO HOLTEC LETTER 5014937 Approved Contents 2.0 2.4.2 Regionalized Fuel Loading Decay Heat Limits for ZR-Clad Fuel for VENTILATED OVERPACK The maximum allowable decay heat per fuel storage location for intact or undamaged fuel assemblies in regionalized loading is determined using the following equations:
Q(X) = 2 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)
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.
Allowable heat loads for Damaged Fuel and Fuel Debris in regionalized loading are shown in Table 2.4-5.
Optional loading patterns for MPC-68M are shown in Figures 2.4-1 through 2.4-4.
Alternatively to the heat load patterns in Sections 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, per cell allowable heat loads may be determined per Topical Report HI-2200343-A Revision 2.

ATTACHMENT 1 TO HOLTEC LETTER 5014937 Approved Contents 2.0 2.4.3 Burnup Limits as a Function of Cooling Time for ZR-Clad Fuel for VENTILATED OVERPACK The maximum allowable ZR-clad fuel assembly average burnup varies with the minimum required fuel assembly cooling time. Tables 2.4-3 and 2.4-4 provide for each MPC the allowable maximum burnup based on the assemblys particular cooling time.These same limits apply for heat load patterns developed in accordance with the topical report, HI-2200343-A, Revision 2.
2.4.3.2 2.4.3.1 Linear interpolation of burnups between cooling times 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.
2.4.3.22.4.3.3 Calculated burnup limits shall be rounded down to the nearest integer.
