SUBJECT:

Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Unit Nos. 1, 2 and ISFSI, Docket Nos. 50-220, 50-410 and 72-1036 General License 30-day Cask Registration Notification and First System Thermal Performance Assessment Pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(2), this letter provides the information to register the use of one approved spent fuel storage cask at the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station (NMPNS)

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

Licensee's Name: Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, LLC Address: PO Box 63 Lycoming, NY 13093 Reactor License Numbers: DPR-63 and NPF-69 Docket Numbers: 50-220, 50-410 and 72-1036 Person Responsible for Mr. John J.

Document Control Desk October 17, 2012 Page 2 The Technical Specifications (TS) for Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004, Amendment No. 10,

§1.1.7 "Special Requirements for First System in Place," require the results of the temperature measurements of the first Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) placed in service be submitted to the NRC for evaluation and assessment. Additionally, this section of TS requires subsequent users of the system to report heat loads higher than the first user. The first user of the NUHOMS CoC No. 1004, Duke Energy, submitted the heat transfer characteristics for an 18.95 kilowatt (kW) Dry Shielded Canister (DSC) in a letter to the NRC, from Duke Energy, "Cask Certificate of Compliance, Docket No.: 72-1004, 30-day Report for Higher Canister Heat Loading per General Requirement Section 1.1.7," dated August 8, 2007 (ML072340622). The first DSC loaded at NMPNS has a lesser heat load (7.30 kW) than the initial case submitted by the first user.

A summary of the thermal performance of the first DSC in place at the NMPNS ISFSI is submitted for your information.

Horizontal Storage Module (HSM) Model: NUHOMS Model 102 HSM Identification Number: 7DFS-HSM004A Calculated Heat Load: 7.30 kW Calculated AT: 42 degrees F Actual AT (Note 1): 28.05 degrees F Note 1: The actual AT represents the measured AT obtained during equilibrium conditions. Equilibrium conditions were achieved when the daily temperature change observed was less than 6 degrees F over three consecutive days.

This letter contains no NRC commitments. Should you have any questions regarding the information in this submittal, please contact me at (315) 349-5219.
