Blome, Director Licensing & Regulatory Assurance Cask Certificate Number 72-1004, Amendment 15 Cask Model Number Dry Shielded Canister (DSC), NUHOMS-32PT Horizontal Storage Module (HSM), Model 202 Cask Identification Numbers DSC: FCS32PT-S100-A1-CHT40 Initial Use: 05/13/2020 HSM: DFS-HSM-040 Initial Use: 05/13/2020 Upon implementation of license amendment number 299 (Reference 1), the Part 50 license for FCS will no longer authorize storage of spent nuclear fuel in the spent fuel pool. Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) hereby certifies that as of May 13, 2020, all spent nuclear fuel assemblies have been permanently transferred out of the FCS spent fuel pool and placed in storage within the Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI).

This certification fulfills implementationrequirements for license amendments 299 and 300, which revised the facility technical specifications and emergency plan, for ISFSI only conditions (References 1 and 2). These amendments specify that they be implemented within a specific timeframe following FCS's submittal of written certification to the NRC that all spent nuclear fuel assemblies have been transferred out of the spent fuel pool and placed in storage within the ISFSI. Those amendments have been issued to reflect the FCS decommissioning condition of final removal of all spent nuclear fuel from the FCS spent fuel pool and its transfer to dry cask storage within an ISFSI, while amendment 301 (Reference 3) for the security plan was approved reflecting the ISFSI only condition.

There are no regulatory commitments contained within this letter.
