-2) Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel in NIC-Approved Storage Casks at }bclear Power Reactor Sites; (Federal Register, Vol. 54, No. 86, dated Friday, May 5,1989) y

Subject:

' Detroit Edison's Comments on the Proposed Rule on Storgse of Scent tuclear Fuel _

The tbclear-Regulatory Ccanmission (NIC) published for public camnant a proposed rule allowing onsite storage of spent nucleca fuel in NIC-approved l storage casks under a general license ylthout a3ditional

. !UC site-specific review. Detroit Edison supports the proposed rule.' .

Under the :,ule the licensee would have to ensure compliance with the cask's Certificate of Conpliance, evaluate the storage under

'1CCFR50.59 to ensure' there are no site specific unreviewed safety

. questions, notify the NIC, and modify procedures and plans as '

appropriate. Rese actions provide assurance of the acceptability of storing nuclear fuel in a previously NIC-approved cask at a specific plant. no proposed rule would allow more efficient use of IEC ard b utility resources by not requiring NIC review of each licensee's plan h , to use approved casks unless a site specific safety question is  !

identified. As such, the proposed rule benefits the NIC, the industry, and the consumer.
