| Title | Site Specific Shielding and Barriers for HI-TRAC Transfer Cask Require NRC Approval Prior to Use |
| Description | Certificate of Compliance (CoC) 1014, Amendment 9, Design Feature, Section 3.9, Environmental Temperature Requirements, requires building ambient temperatures be less than 110 degrees Fahrenheit during canister processing based upon the thermal analysis in the Holtec HI-STORM Final Safety Analysis Report, Revision 13. The thermal model documented in the Final Safety Analysis Report, Revision 13, Section 4.5.1, HI-TRAC Thermal Model, states that heat is passively rejected to the ambient from the outer surface of the HI-TRAC transfer cask by natural convection and thermal radiation. However, at D.C. Cook, the licensee uses additional shielding materials for as low as reasonably achievable purposes that are in contact with and in the general area of the HI-TRAC. The licensee requested Holtec to perform a site-specific thermal analysis, HI2177676, Thermal Evaluation of Shielding Package around the HI-TRAC at DC Cook, to include the shielding material in the thermal model. The analysis contained inputs that were different than the design basis calculation inputs, which were previously incorporated into Design Feature Section 3.9 and Approved Contents Section 2.4. The licensee performed a 10 CFR 72.48 Screening and Evaluation 2018013902, which concluded that shielding could be used without prior NRC approval and subsequently issued 212CR0017, which revised the 72.212 Report. The licensee implemented administrative controls on building temperature and fuel assembly heat load limits based upon the site specific thermal analysis. This unresolved item is being opened to determine if: A) the licensee is in compliance with Design Feature, Section 3.9, Environmental Temperature Requirements; B) the Design Feature Section 3.9 and Approved Contents Section 2.4 are non-conservative at D.C. Cook; and C) the licensee is in compliance with 10 CFR 72.48. Planned Closure Actions: Region III will coordinate with the Division of Spent Fuel Management in the NRC Office of Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards.
