Dear Mr. Olson:

This letter refers to a routine inspection conducted on August 19-22, 2014, of the dry cask storage activities associated with your Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

The enclosed inspection report documents the inspection results which were discussed on August 21, 2014 with you and members of your staff.

The inspection examined activities conducted under your license as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commission's rules and regulations and with the conditions of your license.

The inspection reviewed compliance with the requirements specified in the Technical Specifications associated with Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Certificate of Compliance 1014, the HI-STORM 100 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), and Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 72, Part 50, and Part 20. Within these areas, the inspection included a review of radiation safety, cask thermal monitoring, quality assurance (QA), your corrective action program, safety evaluations, observations of dry fuel loading activities, and changes made to your ISFSI program since the last routine ISFSI inspection that was conducted by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The ISFSI facility was found to be in good physical condition. No violations of NRC regulations were identified.

In accordance with title 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure, and your response, if you choose to provide one, will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC P ublic Document Room or from the NRC's Agencywide Document Access Management System (ADAMS), accessible from the NRC Web site at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response should not include any personal, privacy, or proprietary information so that it can be made available to the public without redaction. Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact the undersigned at 817-200-1191 or Mr. Lee Brookhart at 817-200-1549.
