(1) Letter from D. Shrum (EnergySolutions LLC) toM. Lombard (U.S. NRC), "1 0 CFR 71.95 Report on the 8-1208 Cask," dated June 24, 2015 (ML 15202A058)
Via Reference 1 EnergySolutions submitted a report to the NRC providing information required by 10 CFR 71.95(a)(3) with respect to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 9168,for the Model 8-1208 Cask. The EnergySolutions report noted a neoprene gasket could constrict on the head of the vent port plug cap screw when it is compressed by the bottom end of the test manifold stinger, which could reduce the sensitivity of the pre-shipment leak test. Consequently, the vent port shipment leak test performed using the neoprene gasket may not have provided the required test sensitivity of 1x10" 3 ref-cm 3/sec relative to CoC No. 9168 for cask Model 8-1208. The gasket may have been used on as many as 100 shipments.
The submittal contained the details surrounding the situation and the corrective actions. NextEra was notified by EnergySolutions of the non-conformance of CoC No. 9168. In accordance with 10 CFR 71.95(a), NextEra is reporting use of 8-1208 cask. NextEra Energy Point Beach, LLC, 6610 Nuclear Road, Two Rivers, WI 54241 Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Page 2 NextEra Energy used the cask on September 27, 2013 to ship resin. As concluded in the EnergySolutions report, there is no safety significance associated with the CoC No. 9168. If you have any questions related to this submittal, please contact Gene LeClair at 920/7 55-6953.

Valued Custpmer:
ENERGYSOLUTIONS O.ri Monday June 1, 2015 1 an 8-1'208 cask user identified a concern thatthe neoprene gasket could potentially affect the integrity of the vent port seal pre-shipment leak test. In response, Energy Solutions performed
!'! series c:>f tests that confirmed that the neoprene gasket can constrict on the head of the vent port plug cap screw when it is compressed by the .manifold, resulting in a reduction of the test sensitivity.
The amount of reduction*of the test sensitivity cannot be determined for any particular shipment due to several reasons. Jt is uncertain whether, or J.:iy how much, the sensitivity of the vent port pre-shipment leak tests was reduced because; 1) Use of the gasket was the gasket may, or may not have been in pface for the tests, and 2) The force with wh1ch the gasket was compressed.
during testing is unt<nown, sci it is uncertain lf it caused the gasket to constrict onto the head of the vent port cap screw. The gasket may have been used on as many. as, 100 shipments by Energy Solutions or its customers with Energy Solutions the licensee from September 2013 through June 2015. It was September 2013 when newly designed lid;:; were installed.
The condition was determined not to have significant safety consequence because the seals receive periodic helium leak testing as required by the SAR, the vent ports are rarely opened, there is a margin of conservatism of approximately a factor of 9 on the prescribed vent port l!;!ak rate test, arid there have been no. observations of contamination around the vent port openings thatwould suggest leakage. There wilT be no further tests made using the gaskets since Energy Solutions has replaced aU of the subject gaskets with a modified version that does not have the potential to i:educe the test sensitivity.
Energy Solutions filed the attached report with the NRC containing the information required by 10 CFR 71.95 on June 24, 2015. lh the report, EnetgySolutions describes the cause of the discrepancy and provides information that supports that there is no safety significance.
We expect that the information required for individual users to make their' own notifications is contained in this report Reference to this report in individual user reports would be appropriate if you so choose.
