Definitions 1.1 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.1 Definitions

NOTE----------------------------------------------------------

The defined terms of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications and Bases.

Term Definition ACTIONS ACTIONS shall be that part of a Specification that prescribes Required Actions to be taken under designated Conditions within specified Completion Times.

CASK TRANSFER FACILITY A CASK TRANSFER FACILITY is an optional (CTF) aboveground or underground system used during the transfer of a loaded MPC between a transfer cask and a storage OVERPACK external to 10 CFR Part 50 controlled structures. The CASK TRANSFER FACILITY includes the following components and equipment: (1) a Cask Transfer Structure used to stabilize the OVERPACK, TRANSFER CASK and/or MPC during lifts involving spent fuel not bounded by the regulations of 10 CFR Part 50, and (2) Either a stationary lifting device or a mobile lifting device used in concert with the stationary structure to lift the OVERPACK, TRANSFER CASK, and/or MPC.

DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES are fuel assemblies with known or suspected cladding defects, as determined by a review of records, greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks, empty fuel rod locations that are not filled with dummy fuel rods, missing structural components such as grid spacers, whose structural integrity has been impaired such that geometric rearrangement of fuel or gross failure of the cladding is expected based on engineering evaluations, or that cannot be handled by normal means. Fuel assemblies that cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage are considered FUEL DEBRIS.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.1-1

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)

DAMAGED FUEL DFCs are specially designed enclosures for CONTAINER (DFC) DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES or FUEL DEBRIS which permit gaseous and liquid media to escape while minimizing dispersal of gross particulates.

DFCs authorized for use in the HI-STORM 100 System are as follows:

1. Holtec Dresden Unit 1/Humboldt Bay design

2. Transnuclear Dresden Unit 1 design

3. Holtec Generic BWR design

4. Holtec Generic PWR design DAMAGED FUEL DFIs are specially designed barriers installed at the ISOLATOR (DFI) top and bottom of the storage cell space which permit flow of gaseous and liquid media while preventing the potential migration of fissile material from fuel assemblies with cladding damage. DFIs are used ONLY with DAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLIES which can be handled by normal means and whose structural integrity is such that geometric rearrangement of fuel is not expected.

Damaged fuel stored in DFIs may contain missing or partial fuel rods and/or fuel rods with known or suspected cladding defects greater than hairline cracks or pinhole leaks.

FUEL DEBRIS FUEL DEBRIS is ruptured fuel rods, severed rods, loose fuel pellets, containers or structures that are supporting these loose fuel assembly parts, or fuel assemblies with known or suspected defects which cannot be handled by normal means due to fuel cladding damage.

FUEL BUILDING The FUEL BUILDING is the site-specific power plant facility, governed by the regulations of 10 CFR Part 50, where the loaded OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is transferred to or from the transporter.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.1-2

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)

GROSSLY BREACHED Spent nuclear fuel rod with a cladding defect that SPENT FUEL ROD could lead to the release of fuel particulate greater than the average size fuel fragment for that particular assembly. A gross cladding breach may be confirmed by visual examination, through a review of reactor operating records indicating the presence of heavy metal isotopes, or other acceptable inspection means.

INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLY INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES are fuel assemblies without known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks and which can be handled by normal means. Fuel assemblies without fuel rods in fuel rod locations shall not be classified as INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES unless dummy fuel rods are used to displace an amount of water greater than or equal to that displaced by the fuel rod(s) in the active region. INTACT FUEL ASSEMBLIES may contain integral fuel absorber rods (IFBA) in PWR fuel, or burnable poison rods in BWR fuel.

LOADING OPERATIONS LOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on an OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK while it is being loaded with fuel assemblies.

LOADING OPERATIONS begin when the first fuel assembly is placed in the MPC and end when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is suspended from or secured on the transporter. LOADING OPERATIONS does not include MPC TRANSFER.

MINIMUM ENRICHMENT MINIMUM ENRICHMENT is the minimum assembly average enrichment. Natural uranium and low enrichment blankets are not considered in determining minimum enrichment.

MULTI-PURPOSE CANISTER MPCs are the sealed spent nuclear fuel canisters (MPC) which consist of a honeycombed fuel basket contained in a cylindrical canister shell which is welded to a baseplate, lid with welded port cover plates, and closure ring. The MPC provides the confinement boundary for the contained radioactive materials.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.1-3

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)

MPC TRANSFER MPC TRANSFER begins when the MPC is lifted off the TRANSFER CASK bottom lid and ends when the MPC is supported from beneath by the OVERPACK or VVM (or the reverse).

NON-FUEL HARDWARE NON-FUEL HARDWARE is defined as Burnable Poison Rod Assemblies (BPRAs), Thimble Plug Devices (TPDs), Control Rod Assemblies (CRAs),

Axial Power Shaping Rods (APSRs), Wet Annular Burnable Absorbers (WABAs), Rod Cluster Control Assemblies (RCCAs), Control Element Assemblies (CEAs), Neutron Source Assemblies (NSAs), water displacement guide tube plugs, orifice rod assemblies, instrument tube tie rods (ITTRs),

vibration suppressor inserts, and components of these devices such as individual rods.

OVERPACK OVERPACKs are the casks which receive and contain the sealed MPCs for interim storage on the ISFSI. They provide gamma and neutron shielding, and provide for ventilated air flow to promote heat transfer from the MPC to the environs. The term OVERPACK does not include the TRANSFER CASK.

PLANAR-AVERAGE INITIAL PLANAR AVERAGE INITIAL ENRICHMENT is the ENRICHMENT average of the distributed fuel rod initial enrichments within a given axial plane of the assembly lattice.

REPAIRED/RECONSTITUTED Spent nuclear fuel assembly which contains dummy FUEL ASSEMBLY fuel rod(s) that displaces an amount of water greater than or equal to the original fuel rod(s) and/or which contains structural repairs so it can be handled by normal means. If irradiated dummy stainless steel rods are present in the fuel assembly, the dummy/replacement rods will be considered in the site specific dose calculations.

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)

SPENT FUEL STORAGE SFSCs are containers approved for the storage of CASKS (SFSCs) spent fuel assemblies at the ISFSI. The HI-STORM 100 SFSC System consists of the OVERPACK/VVM and its integral MPC.

STORAGE OPERATIONS STORAGE OPERATIONS include all licensed activities that are performed at the ISFSI while an SFSC containing spent fuel is situated within the ISFSI perimeter. STORAGE OPERATIONS does not include MPC TRANSFER.

TRANSFER CASK TRANSFER CASKs are containers designed to contain the MPC during and after loading of spent fuel assemblies and to transfer the MPC to or from the OVERPACK/VVM. The HI-STORM 100 System employs either the 125-Ton, the 100-Ton HI-TRAC TRANSFER CASK or the HI-TRAC MS.

TRANSPORT OPERATIONS TRANSPORT OPERATIONS include all licensed activities performed on an OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK loaded with one or more fuel assemblies when it is being moved after LOADING OPERATIONS or before UNLOADING OPERATIONS. TRANSPORT OPERATIONS begin when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is first suspended from or secured on the transporter and end when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is at its destination and no longer secured on or suspended from the transporter. TRANSPORT OPERATIONS includes MPC TRANSFER.

UNDAMAGED FUEL UNDAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY is: a) a fuel ASSEMBLY assembly without known or suspected cladding defects greater than pinhole leaks or hairline cracks and which can be handled by normal means; or b) a BWR fuel assembly with an intact channel, a maximum planar average initial enrichment of 3.3 wt% U-235, without known or suspected GROSSLY BREACHED SPENT FUEL RODS, and which can be handled by normal means. An UNDAMAGED FUEL ASSEMBLY may be a REPAIRED/

RECONSTITUTED FUEL ASSEMBLY.

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.1-5

Definitions 1.1 1.1 Definitions (continued)

UNLOADING OPERATIONS UNLOADING OPERATIONS include all licensed activities on an SFSC to be unloaded of the contained fuel assemblies. UNLOADING OPERATIONS begin when the OVERPACK or TRANSFER CASK is no longer suspended from or secured on the transporter and end when the last fuel assembly is removed from the SFSC.

UNLOADING OPERATIONS does not include MPC TRANSFER.

ZR ZR means any zirconium-based fuel cladding or fuel channel material authorized for use in a commercial nuclear power plant reactor.

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.1-6

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.2 Logical Connectors PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to explain the meaning of logical connectors.

Logical connectors are used in Technical Specifications (TS) to discriminate between, and yet connect, discrete Conditions, Required Actions, Completion Times, Surveillances, and Frequencies. The only logical connectors that appear in TS are AND and OR. The physical arrangement of these connectors continues logical conventions with specific meanings.

BACKGROUND Several levels of logic may be used to state Required Actions. These levels are identified by the placement (or nesting) of the logical connectors and by the number assigned to each Required Action.

The first level of logic is identified by the first digit of the number assigned to a Required Action and the placement of the logical connector in the first level of nesting (i.e., left justified with the number of the Required Action). The successive levels of logic are identified by additional digits of the Required Action number and by successive indentions of the logical connectors.

When logical connectors are used to state a Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency, only the first level of logic is used, and the logical connector is left justified with the statement of the Condition, Completion Time, Surveillance, or Frequency.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.2-1

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors (continued)

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of logical connectors.

EXAMPLE 1.2-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 VERIFY . . .

AND A.2 Restore . . .

In this example the logical connector AND is used to indicate that when in Condition A, both Required Actions A.1 and A.2 must be completed.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.2-2

Logical Connectors 1.2 1.2 Logical Connectors (continued)

EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1.2-2 (continued)

ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Stop . . .

OR A.2.1 Verify . . .

AND A.2.2.1 Reduce . . .

OR A.2.2.2 Perform . . .

OR A.3 Remove . . .

This example represents a more complicated use of logical connectors. Required Actions A.1, A.2, and A.3 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed as indicated by the use of the logical connector OR and the left justified placement. Any one of these three ACTIONS may be chosen. If A.2 is chosen, then both A.2.1 and A.2.2 must be performed as indicated by the logical connector AND. Required Action A.2.2 is met by performing A.2.2.1 or A.2.2.2. The indented position of the logical connector OR indicates that A.2.2.1 and A.2.2.2 are alternative choices, only one of which must be performed.

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.2-3

Completion Times 1.3 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.3 Completion Times PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to establish the Completion Time convention and to provide guidance for its use.

BACKGROUND Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCOs) specify the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTIONS associated with an LCO state Conditions that typically describe the ways in which the requirements of the LCO can fail to be met. Specified with each stated Condition are Required Action(s) and Completion Times(s).

DESCRIPTION The Completion Time is the amount of time allowed for completing a Required Action. It is referenced to the time of discovery of a situation (e.g., equipment or variable not within limits) that requires entering an ACTIONS Condition unless otherwise specified, providing the HI-STORM 100 System is in a specified condition stated in the Applicability of the LCO. Required Actions must be completed prior to the expiration of the specified Completion Time.

An ACTIONS Condition remains in effect and the Required Actions apply until the Condition no longer exists or the HI-STORM 100 System is not within the LCO Applicability.

Once a Condition has been entered, subsequent subsystems, components, or variables expressed in the Condition, discovered to be not within limits, will not result in separate entry into the Condition unless specifically stated. The Required Actions of the Condition continue to apply to each additional failure, with Completion Times based on initial entry into the Condition.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.3-1

Completion Times 1.3 1.3 Completion Times (continued)

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the use of Completion Times with different types of Conditions and changing Conditions.

EXAMPLE 1.3-1 ACTIONS CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME B. Required B.1 Perform Action B.1 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months Action and associated AND Completion Time not met. B.2 Perform Action B.2 36 hours4.166667e-4 days 0.01 hours 5.952381e-5 weeks 1.3698e-5 months Condition B has two Required Actions. Each Required Action has its own separate Completion Time. Each Completion Time is referenced to the time that Condition B is entered.

The Required Actions of Condition B are to complete action B.1 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months AND complete action B.2 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days 0.01 hours 5.952381e-5 weeks 1.3698e-5 months . A total of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months is allowed for completing action B.1 and a total of 36 hours4.166667e-4 days 0.01 hours 5.952381e-5 weeks 1.3698e-5 months (not 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months ) is allowed for completing action B.2 from the time that Condition B was entered. If action B.1 is completed within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months , the time allowed for completing action B.2 is the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days 0.00833 hours 4.960317e-5 weeks 1.1415e-5 months because the total time allowed for completing action B.2 is 36 hours4.166667e-4 days 0.01 hours 5.952381e-5 weeks 1.3698e-5 months .

B.2 Complete action 36 hours4.166667e-4 days 0.01 hours 5.952381e-5 weeks 1.3698e-5 months B.2.

When a system is determined not to meet the LCO, Condition A is entered. If the system is not restored within 7 days, Condition B is also entered and the Completion Time clocks for Required Actions B.1 and B.2 start. If the system is restored after Condition B is entered, Conditions A and B are exited, and therefore, the Required Actions of Condition B may be terminated.

NOTE----------------------------------------

Separate Condition entry is allowed for each component.

CONDITION REQUIRED ACTION COMPLETION TIME A. LCO not met. A.1 Restore 4 hours4.62963e-5 days 0.00111 hours 6.613757e-6 weeks 1.522e-6 months compliance with LCO.

B.2 Complete action 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months B.2.

The Note above the ACTIONS table is a method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked. If this method of modifying how the Completion Time is tracked was applicable only to a specific Condition, the Note would appear in that Condition rather than at the top of the ACTIONS Table.

The Note allows Condition A to be entered separately for each component, and Completion Times tracked on a per component basis. When a component is determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered and its Completion Time starts. If subsequent components are determined to not meet the LCO, Condition A is entered for each component and separate Completion Times start and are tracked for each component.

TIME Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.3-5

Frequency 1.4 1.0 USE AND APPLICATION 1.4 Frequency PURPOSE The purpose of this section is to define the proper use and application of Frequency requirements.

DESCRIPTION Each Surveillance Requirement (SR) has a specified Frequency in which the Surveillance must be met in order to meet the associated Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO). An understanding of the correct application of the specified Frequency is necessary for compliance with the SR.

The "specified Frequency" is referred to throughout this section and each of the Specifications of Section 3.0, Surveillance Requirement (SR) Applicability. The "specified Frequency" consists of the requirements of the Frequency column of each SR.

Situations where a Surveillance could be required (i.e., its Frequency could expire), but where it is not possible or not desired that it be performed until sometime after the associated LCO is within its Applicability, represent potential SR 3.0.4 conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, the SR (i.e., the Surveillance or the Frequency) is stated such that it is only "required" when it can be and should be performed. With an SR satisfied, SR 3.0.4 imposes no restriction.

(continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.4-1

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency (continued)

EXAMPLES The following examples illustrate the various ways that Frequencies are specified.

EXAMPLE 1.4-1 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify pressure within limit 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months Example 1.4-1 contains the type of SR most often encountered in the Technical Specifications (TS). The Frequency specifies an interval (12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months ) during which the associated Surveillance must be performed at least one time. Performance of the Surveillance initiates the subsequent interval. Although the Frequency is stated as 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months , an extension of the time interval to 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency is allowed by SR 3.0.2 for operational flexibility. The measurement of this interval continues at all times, even when the SR is not required to be met per SR 3.0.1 (such as when the equipment or variables are outside specified limits, or the facility is outside the Applicability of the LCO). If the interval specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO, the LCO is not met in accordance with SR 3.0.1.

If the interval as specified by SR 3.0.2 is exceeded while the facility is not in a condition specified in the Applicability of the LCO for which performance of the SR is required, the Surveillance must be performed within the Frequency requirements of SR 3.0.2 prior to entry into the specified condition. Failure to do so would result in a violation of SR 3.0.4 (continued)

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 1.4-2

Frequency 1.4 1.4 Frequency (continued)

EXAMPLES (continued) EXAMPLE 1.4-2 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY Verify flow is within limits. Once within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months prior to starting activity AND 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months thereafter Example 1.4-2 has two Frequencies. The first is a one time performance Frequency, and the second is of the type shown in Example 1.4-1. The logical connector "AND" indicates that both Frequency requirements must be met. Each time the example activity is to be performed, the Surveillance must be performed within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days 0.00333 hours 1.984127e-5 weeks 4.566e-6 months prior to starting the activity.

The use of "once" indicates a single performance will satisfy the specified Frequency (assuming no other Frequencies are connected by "AND"). This type of Frequency does not qualify for the 25% extension allowed by SR 3.0.2.

"Thereafter" indicates future performances must be established per SR 3.0.2, but only after a specified condition is first met (i.e., the "once" performance in this example). If the specified activity is canceled or not performed, the measurement of both intervals stops. New intervals start upon preparing to restart the specified activity.

LCO Applicability 3.0 3.0 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION (LCO) APPLICABILITY LCO 3.0.1 LCOs shall be met during specified conditions in the Applicability, except as provided in LCO 3.0.2.

LCO 3.0.2 Upon discovery of a failure to meet an LCO, the Required Actions of the associated Conditions shall be met, except as provided in LCO 3.0.5.

If the LCO is met or is no longer applicable prior to expiration of the specified Completion Time(s), completion of the Required Action(s) is not required, unless otherwise stated.

LCO 3.0.3 Not applicable.

LCO 3.0.4 When an LCO is not met, entry into a specified condition in the Applicability shall not be made except when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. This Specification shall not prevent changes in specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS or that are related to the unloading of an SFSC.

LCO 3.0.5 Equipment removed from service or not in service in compliance with ACTIONS may be returned to service under administrative control solely to perform testing required to demonstrate it meets the LCO or that other equipment meets the LCO. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for the system returned to service under administrative control to perform the testing.

Certificate of Compliance No. 1014 Amendment No. 15 Appendix C 3.0-1

LCO Applicability 3.0 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY SR 3.0.1 SRs shall be met during the specified conditions in the Applicability for individual LCOs, unless otherwise stated in the SR. Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the LCO. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the LCO except as provided in SR 3.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on equipment or variables outside specified limits.

SR 3.0.2 The specified Frequency for each SR is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.

For Frequencies specified as once, the above interval extension does not apply. If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a once per... basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial performance.

Exceptions to this Specification are stated in the individual Specifications.

SR 3.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the LCO not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or up to the limit of the specified Frequency, whichever is less. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the Surveillance.

If the Surveillance is not performed within the delay period, the LCO must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.

LCO Applicability 3.0 3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT (SR) APPLICABILITY SR 3.0.3 When the Surveillance is performed within the delay period and the (continued) Surveillance is not met, the LCO must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable Condition(s) must be entered.

SR 3.0.4 Entry into a specified condition in the Applicability of an LCO shall not be made unless the LCO's Surveillances have been met within their specified Frequency. This provision shall not prevent entry into specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with Actions or that are related to the unloading of an SFSC.

b. Perform a written evaluation to verify whether an OVERPACK at the ISFSI containing the as-loaded MPC will cause the dose limits of 10 CFR 72.104 to be exceeded.

c. Perform a written evaluation within 30 days to determine why the surface dose rate limits were exceeded.

5.3.7 If the evaluation performed pursuant to Section 5.3.6 shows that the dose limits of 10 CFR 72.104 will be exceeded, the MPC shall not be placed into storage or, in the case of the OVERPACK loaded at the ISFSI, the MPC shall be removed from storage until appropriate corrective action is taken to ensure the dose limits are not exceeded.

5.3.8 TRANSFER CASK and OVERPACK surface dose rates shall be measured at approximately the following locations:

a. A minimum of four (4) dose rate measurements shall be taken on the side of the TRANSFER CASK approximately at the cask mid-height plane. The measurement locations shall be approximately 90 degrees apart around the circumference of the cask. Dose rates shall be measured between the radial ribs.

b. A minimum of twelve (12) dose rate measurements shall be taken on the side of the OVERPACK in three sets of four measurements.

One measurement set shall be taken approximately at the cask mid-height plane, 90 degrees apart around the circumference of the cask. The second and third measurement sets shall be taken approximately 60 inches above and below the mid-height plane, respectively, also 90 degrees apart around the circumference of the cask.

Radiation Protection Program 5.4 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS AND PROGRAMS 5.4 Fabrication Helium Leak Test At completion of welding the MPC shell to baseplate, an MPC confinement weld helium leak test shall be performed using a helium mass spectrometer. This test shall include the base metals of the MPC shell and baseplate. A helium leak test shall also be performed on the base metal of the fabricated MPC lid. The confinement boundary leakage rate tests shall be performed in accordance with ANSI N14.5 to leaktight criteria. If a leakage rate exceeding the acceptance criteria is detected, then the area of leakage shall be determined and the area repaired per ASME Code Section III, Subsection NB requirements. Re-testing shall be performed until the leakage rate acceptance criterion is met.
