3  Report Details
  1.0 Review of 10 CFR 72.212(b) Evaluations, Appendix A, Review of Independent
Spent Fuel Storage Installation Storage Pad Design (60856) 1.1 Site Characterization and Design of the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Pad
 
  a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensee's soil and independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) pad engineering design evaluations for an ISFSI pad to verify the licensee's compliance with the Certificate of Compliance, Title 10
Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) Part 72 requirements, and industry standards.  Title 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(ii) requires that licensees perform written evaluations, before use
which establish that cask storage pads and areas have been designed to adequately
support the static and dynamic loads of the stored casks, considering potential
amplification of earthquakes through soil-structure interaction, and soil liquefaction potential or other soil instability due to vibratory ground motion. 
    b. Observations and Findings
  The licensee is utilizing the NAC MAGNASTOR dry cask storage system.  Two separate three foot thick reinforced concrete pads are provided, each one capable of supporting
36 Vertical Concrete Casks (VCC) in a 4 x 9 array.  Each pad is 68 feet wide and
148 feet long.  The licensee designed and constructed the ISFSI pad as an important to
safety category C structure.  A 35 feet wide x 148 feet long, 18 inch thick concrete apron area is located between the two pads.  The concrete pads were installed on top of a five to seven feet granular fill above the existing grade. 
 
Soil Analysis and Soil Liquefaction Analysis
  The inspectors reviewed licensee calculations documenting the engineering properties and design soil profile of the ISFSI site based on geotechnical data obtained from soil
borings.  The design subsurface profiles were developed based on more than
20 borings, some of which extended to depths of more than 100 feet and into the bed
rock.  The ground water was found at approximately seven to eight feet below the top of
the pads.  Properties of soil layers were determined and documented in calculation ZION001-CALC-004.  Inspectors also reviewed licensee's evaluation of soil liquefaction potential and soil stability in the pad areas.  The liquefaction evaluation performed in
accordance with RG 1.198 included screening level assessment, quantitative
assessment of liquefaction factor of safety using the Standard Penetration Test (SPT),
and quantitative assessment of seismically induced ground settlement.  The slope stability evaluations generally indicated a factor of safety of two.  Synthetic geo-grid soil reinforcement was installed as recommended in
the evaluation for certain areas where the lower safety factors between 1.6 and 1.8 were found.  Inspectors noted that the soil
bearing capacity and the total and differential settlement were evaluated in calculation
ZION001-CALC-007.  The lowest factor of safety against bearing capacity was found to
be 7.5.  The total and differential settlements under static loads were found to be less than an inch. 
   
4  Seismic Soil Structure Analysis and ISFSI Pad Structural Analysis
  The inspectors reviewed the licensee's seismic analysis evaluation to determine if the site's safe shutdown earthquake accelerations were correctly considered at the ISFSI site.  The Licensee developed acceleration time histories from the seismic spectra
provided in the Decommissioning Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) in accordance with the
requirements of NRC Standard Review Plan 3.7.1.  These time histories and the ISFSI
site soil profiles (best estimate, lower bound, and upper bound) were used to develop
the strain compatible properties for use in the soil structure analysis.  The Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) analysis determined the maximum accelerations at the base and at the center of gravity of the storage casks.  The SSI analysis considered eight different
loading configurations to account for various partial and full loading conditions and also
addressed three sets of soil properties (including the best estimate, upper bound and
lower bound) for each loading configuration.  The analysis also verified adequate safety factors against cask sliding and overturning.  During review of the SSI analysis ZION001-CALC-018, the inspectors identified that the licensee assumed un-cracked
concrete section properties for the pad while the calculated bending moments indicated
that the concrete would crack under seismic loads.  American Society of Civil Engineers
(ASCE) 4-98, which is referenced in the calculation, in Section 3.1.3.1, requires that the concrete sections be modeled as cracked or un-cracked depending on the stress levels due to the most critical seismic load combination.  During calculation revision to address
the inspector's questions, the licensee made an error in calculation of the cracking
moment and incorrectly concluded that the seismic load condition would not exceed the cracking moment.  In response to further comments by the inspectors, the licensee
again revised the calculation to correct the error.  The final revised calculation indicated a reduction in concrete section properties due to the cracking, however, due to the conservatism included in the calculation, the error did not affect the conclusions
regarding adequacy of the pad.  The inspectors also had a concern regarding mesh size
used in the pad finite element model.  The inspectors' concern was that the element
dimensions used in the analysis may not adequately capture effects of pad flexibility as discussed in the technical paper titled "Influence of ISFSI Design Parameters on the Seismic Response of Dry Storage Casks," by Bjorkman and Moore.  NUREG 1536,
Section 3.5.1.4.i (3) (g) identifies the importance of pad flexibility considerations and
refers to the paper.  The licensee in response to the inspector's concern provided
additional sensitivity analyses to demonstrate adequacy of the pad SSI.    The inspectors reviewed the licensee's structural evaluation of the ISFSI reinforced concrete pad.  The pad was designed in accordance with the requirements of American
 
Concrete Institute (ACI) 318-08, Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete
and, where the ACI 318 is silent, the guidance from ACI 349-06, Code Requirements for
Nuclear Safety Related Concrete Structures was used.  The specified concrete design strength was 4000 pounds per square inch (psi).  Load combinations including static and dynamic loads per the requirements of ACI 349 and Table 3.3 of the NRC NUREG 1536
were used.  Seismic accelerations obtained
from the SSI analyses were conservatively applied to the casks so as to maximize the applied forces and moment.  Eight pad and
cask models representing fully loaded and par
tially loaded pad configurations were analyzed using the finite element method to account for partial and sequential loading of the pad.  Settlement effects were also included in the pad analysis. 
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's site specific cask tip-over analysis.  This analysis was required because the concrete pad and sub-soil parameters at the ISFSI site were 
5  not bounded by the tip-over analysis in the MAGNASTOR cask Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR).  The analysis was performed using the finite element program LS-DYNA
using the same methodology as described in the cask FSAR.  The initial design documents required the pad concrete 28-day compressive strength to be less than 5000 psi.  However, due to the concrete test results indicating strengths exceeding
6000 psi in some cases, the tip-over calculation was revised to address a bounding
strength of 7000 psi.  The analysis determined that in the event of a tip-over, with the
ISFSI site specific soil parameters and the bounding concrete properties, the maximum
accelerations at the top of the fuel basket and at the top of the canister would not exceed
the FSAR limits. 
ISFSI Pad Impact on Flooding Analysis
  The top surface of the ISFSI pads are at an elevation of 592.1 feet above mean sea
level (MSL) and have been constructed above the probable maximum surge and seiche flood level of 592.05 feet above MSL for the site as discussed in DSAR Section 2.4.5. 
Therefore, the ISFSI pads are enveloped by the NAC MAGNASTOR design basis.  The
 
flood water velocity limit is not applicable in this case because no part of a cask would be submerged during the probable maximum flood. 
 
    c. Conclusion
  The licensee's soil and ISFSI pad engineering design evaluations were performed in
accordance with the Certificate of Compliance, 10 CFR Part 72 requirements, and
industry standards. 
2.0 Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Pad Construction (60853)
2.1 Excavation and Soil Compaction Activities
    a. Inspection Scope
  The inspectors evaluated the licensee's site characterization for the new ISFSI pad to
verify the licensee's compliance with its specifications, design drawings, and industry
standards. 
    b. Observations and Findings
  The licensee constructed the reinforced concrete ISFSI storage pads south of the plant
switchyard.  The licensee graded the site and removed the top several feet of existing
soil, ensuring removal of topsoil, organic, and all undesirable material.  The licensee performed proof-rolling of the underlying in-situ material to ensure that a suitable sub-grade existed under the pad area.  Following receipt of satisfactory compaction results
for the sub-grade, the licensee backfilled the area with a minimum of two feet of non-
frost susceptible granular base material (gravel/sand) and compacted the fill in
accordance with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D1557. 
    c. Conclusion
  The licensee's site excavation and soil compaction activities were performed in
accordance with specifications, design drawings, and industry standards.   
6  2.2 Pad Construction Activities
    a. Inspection Scope
  The inspectors evaluated whether construction activities for the ISFSI concrete storage
pad complied with specifications contained in the licensee's approved design evaluation,
design drawings, work orders, and applicable industry standards.  The inspectors also
reviewed select material, concrete documentation, and personnel certification records. 
    b. Observations and Findings
  The inspectors reviewed ZION001-PS-002, "Project Specification for the ISFSI and FHB
Upgrades Cast-in-Place Concrete," Revision 1.  ZION-001-PS-002 described the minimum requirements for construction activities related to installation of the ISFSI pad.  The inspector reviewed ZS ISFSI - Project Instruction No. 3 Cast-in Place Concrete
Construction" Revision 3 which further established cast-in-place concrete construction
and material testing requirements for the ISFSI pad. 
Placement of Reinforcing Steel
  After placement and satisfactory compaction of the engineered fill, the licensee placed a
4-inch mudmat which provided a work surface to facilitate reinforcement bar (rebar)
installation and concrete placement.  The licensee then installed forms and placed rebar. 
The licensee's design specification chose to utilize rebar that conformed to either ASTM A615 Grade 60 or ASTM A706 Grade 60 steel. 
After placing the rebar and securing the forms for each section, the licensee performed
inspections of the rebar and the pad general areas prior to concrete placement.  The
 
NRC inspectors reviewed the design drawings and performed an independent walk down of both pads.  The pad areas were free of debris and excessive moisture.  The rebar was placed in two upper and lower layers joined by U-shaped bars.  The licensee
placed the correct size of rebar.  The inspectors measured the spacing between the
rebar and found it to be per the design specifications and industry standards. 
 
Concrete Mix Design
  The inspectors reviewed the licensee's concrete mix design to ensure compliance with
the applicable codes and standards committed to in the licensee's design. 
 
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's exposure classifications of the ISFSI pad to ensure compliance with the durability requirements of ACI 318-08.  The licensee characterized the pad as F1, concrete exposed to freezing and thawing cycles and
occasional exposure to moisture; S0, SO
4 < 0.10% by weight in soil and < 150 ppm in water; P0, contact with water where low permeability is not required; and C1, concrete
exposed to moisture, but not external sources of chlorides.  The inspectors reviewed the
licensee's specified strength, water to cement ratio, slump, and air content.  The inspectors reviewed the licensee's technical justification for these exposure classifications.  The licensee's design contained explicit specifications for both concrete
strength and air content that were lower and higher respectively than the durability 
7  requirements of the ACI-318-08 in order to co
mply with the FSAR cask tip-over analysis strength requirements. 
 
The inspectors reviewed the licensee's selection and testing of mix design components including cement, potable water, fine aggregate, course aggregate, and admixtures. 
The licensee utilized aggregates that were resistant to the affects of alkali-silicate
reactions. 
 
Prior to concrete placement the licensee tested their concrete mixture to ensure it met the specified requirements. 
Placement of Concrete for Storage Pad
  The storage pad was constructed in accordance with ACI 318-08 and ACI 301-10.  The ISFSI pads were constructed in four segments per pad allowing separate continuous placements of concrete.  The inspectors observed concrete placement for
sections 1 and 4 of the south storage pad. 
 
The inspectors observed that the concrete was transported by conveyor belt and deposited in the areas of placement within the forms.  The inspectors noted that the contractor staff maintained careful control of the discharge hose and ensured that
concrete had an unrestricted vertical drop to the point of placement to prevent
segregation of the aggregate.  The contractor used a systematic pattern of vibration to
ensure proper consolidation, thereby preventing voids in the concrete slab.  The licensee
finished the pad with a roller paver screed with paving rollers.  The licensee applied a broom finish as required by the design to the pad after placement in order to achieve the appropriate surface friction factor. 
 
The licensee enacted cold weather concrete curing measures when necessary to ensure that concrete minimum temperature was above 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the first seven days of curing.  Concrete temperature was measured with the use of surface thermometers and embedded thermocouples when necessary. 
Concrete Field Tests
  The licensee checked the concrete batch tickets for every truck to confirm that each concrete batch was mixed as specified in the mix design and the mixing time and number of drum revolutions satisfied code requirements to ensure the concrete was
suitable for placement.  The licensee's contractor obtained concrete samples every
 
1st and 5 th truck and every 100 cubic yards thereafter for each segment to test air content, temperature, weight and slump tests. 
In addition to the field tests, the qualified individuals' collected concrete samples in
cylinders, a minimum of one set of four cylinders every 1
st and 5 th truck and every 100 cubic yards thereafter for each segment, for the concrete strength tests.  The cylinders
were cured and tested after 28 days by an independent laboratory to measure the
compressive strength of the concrete. 
The inspectors reviewed the 28 day concrete compressive strength test results taken
from the storage pad to ensure they met the minimum strength of 4,000 psi and
maximum of 5,000 psi as specified by the design requirements.  The lower bound 
8  strength limit ensures durability and strength of the ISFSI pad.  The upper bound strength limit ensures a ductile enough surface during a postulate non-mechanistic cask
tip-over event. 
Several 28-day test results exceeded the 6,000 psi maximum strength, these results
were provided to NAC for review and justification for acceptance as discussed in
Section 1.1. 
  c. Conclusion
  The inspectors concluded that the construction activities for the ISFSI concrete storage
pad complied with specifications contained in the licensee's approved design package,
design drawings, civil construction specifications, work orders, and applicable industry standards.  The licensee provided justifications for any discrepancies which were verified with the designer of the pad. 
2.3 Dry Cask Storage System Construction Activities
  a.  Inspection Scope
  The inspectors reviewed the licensee's vendor perform on site construction activities
associated with VCC. 
b. Observations and Findings
  The VCC is the storage overpack for the fuel canister and provides structural support, shielding, protection from environmental conditions, and natural convection cooling of
the canister during long-term storage.  The concrete cask is a reinforced concrete
structure with a carbon steel inner liner.  The VCC does not include a confinement
barrier, rather the canister housed within the VCC provides a confinement barrier. 
VCC fabrication activities were performed by NAC International under contract with
 
Zionsolutions at the Zion Station between May and August 2012. 
During fabrication activities, the NRC performed two site inspections specifically focused on VCC fabrication activities. 
Following completion of fabrication activities the NRC inspectors performed two
additional walkdowns of VCC condition.  The inspectors noted that several casks on the
construction pad had hairline cracks (very fine) in their outer surface.  The inspectors
noted that cask # 21 had the most visible external flaws.  Cosmetic repairs were made to the lower portion of these cracks as necessary. 
Inspectors reviewed quality control documentation associated with individual VCC
fabrication.  Specifically inspectors reviewed documentation associated with cask #21. 
Throughout the fabrication process NAC International performs inspection of fabrication
activities important to quality in 630073-P-01, "Vertical Concrete Cask Work Record and Inspection Forms on Zion MAGNASTOR Spent Fuel Storage Project," Revision 0.  Step 47 of 630073-P-01 instructs the NAC inspector to inspect for cask concrete surface
defects including cracks.  Specifically the document instructs that "surface cracks that
exceed 0.013 inch in maximum width shall be documented in the comments section of 
9  this form," and "a nonconformance report (NCR) shall be prepared for cracks that exceed 0.040 inches in width-"
 
630073-P-01 Step 47 includes provision for inspection for both NAC International, and
also Zion solutions.
  Zion solutions completes an independent review of step 47 through their independent quality assurance program. 
 
Upon completion of fabrication activities the cask is issued a Certificate of Conformance
from NAC International to Zionsolutions that certifies that the cask was designed, fabricated, constructed, tested, and repaired, if needed, in accordance with NAC International QA Program as accepted by the USNRC in conformance with
USNRC NUREG/CR-6407.  NAC International also certifies that inspection were
performed in accordance with 10 CFR 72.236(j) requirements and found satisfactory. 
 
Upon receipt of the fabricated component Zion
solutions performs a receipt inspection of the cask utilizing ZS-QA-110, "Inspections," Revision 0. 
 
The licensee indicated that all 64 casks had been tested in accordance with their quality
program as described above.  The construction acceptance testing was performed between August and November 2012, with the final cask acceptance completed on November 8, 2012.  The inspectors reviewed the licensee's quality program as
described above and determined that the licensee was appropriately incorporating
industry standards into procedures to ensure adequate acceptance criteria for concrete
condition.  Specifically the inspectors noted that the licensee utilized ACI 349.3R-02,
"Evaluation of Existing Nuclear Safety Related Concrete Structures" to evaluate VCC concrete cracks. 
c. Conclusion
  The licensee's vendor performed on site construction activities associated with vertical concrete casks (VCC) at the ISFSI pad in accordance with their design drawings, civil construction specifications, and applicable industry standards.  The licensee maintained
adequate oversight over contractor activities.
