Subject:

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation Annual Radioactive Effluent Release Report The Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant (BFN) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) complies with the Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for spent fuel storage casks i n accordance with Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (1 0 CFR) Part 72 , Section 212 , "Conditions of general license issued under§ 72.210." Appendix A, Section 5.4 , of the CoC requires the submittal of an annual radioactive effluent release report in accordance with 10 CFR Part 72.44(d)(3). The enclosed BFN ISFSI annual radioactive effluent release report is for the calendar year 2014. TVA utilizes the Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Cask System for storage of spent fuel in the BFN ISFSI. The HI-STORM 100 Cask System does not create any radioactive material or have any radioactive waste treatment system. 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. Thus , there were no radionuclides released to the environment in liquid or gaseous effluents from the BFN ISFSI during the reporting period of January 1 , 2014 , to December 31 , 2014. There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this letter. Should you have any questions concerning this submittal , please contact J. L. Paul , Nuclear Site Licensing Manager , at (256) 7 29-2636.
