NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 72

[NRC-2022-0049]
RIN 3150-AK76


List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: NAC International NAC-
UMS Universal Storage System, Certificate of Compliance No. 1015, 
Amendment No. 9

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its 
spent fuel storage regulations by revising the NAC International NAC-
UMS Universal Storage System listing within the ``List of approved 
spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 9 to Certificate of 
Compliance No. 1015. Amendment No. 9 revises the certificate of 
compliance to correct the effective thermal properties for pressurized-
water reactor fuel assemblies used in the certification basis ANSYS 
thermal models and to update modeling assumptions. In addition, this 
direct final rule makes editorial corrections to Amendment No. 8.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective August 29, 2022, unless 
significant adverse comments are received by July 14, 2022. If this 
direct final rule is withdrawn as a result of such comments, timely 
notice of the withdrawal will be published in the Federal Register. 
Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical 
to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments 
received on or before this date. Comments received on this direct final 
rule will also be considered to be comments on a companion proposed 
rule published in the Proposed Rules section of this issue of the 
Federal Register.

II. Rulemaking Procedure

    This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 9 to 
Certificate of Compliance No. 1015 and editorial corrections to 
Amendment No. 8 and does not include other aspects of the NAC 
International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System design. The NRC is using 
the ``direct final rule procedure'' to issue this amendment because it 
represents a limited and routine change to an existing certificate of 
compliance that is expected to be non-controversial. Adequate 
protection of public health and safety continues to be reasonably 
assured. The amendment to the rule will become effective on August 29, 
2022. However, if the NRC receives any significant adverse comment on 
this direct final rule by July 14, 2022, then the NRC will publish a 
document that withdraws this action and will subsequently address the 
comments received in a final rule as a response to the companion 
proposed rule published in the Proposed Rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register. Absent significant modifications to the proposed 
revisions requiring republication, the NRC will not initiate a second 
comment period on this action.
    A significant adverse comment is a comment where the commenter 
explains why the rule would be inappropriate, including challenges to 
the rule's underlying premise or approach, or would be ineffective or 
unacceptable without a change. A comment is adverse and significant if:
    (1) The comment opposes the rule and provides a reason sufficient 
to require a substantive response in a notice-and-comment process. For 
example, a substantive response is required when:
    (a) The comment causes the NRC to reevaluate (or reconsider) its 
position or conduct additional analysis;
    (b) The comment raises an issue serious enough to warrant a 
substantive response to clarify or complete the record; or
    (c) The comment raises a relevant issue that was not previously 
addressed or considered by the NRC.
    (2) The comment proposes a change or an addition to the rule, and 
it is apparent that the rule would be ineffective or unacceptable 
without incorporation of the change or addition.
    (3) The comment causes the NRC to make a change (other than 
editorial) to the rule, certificate of compliance, or technical 
specifications.

III. Background

    Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as amended, 
requires that ``[t]he Secretary [of the Department of Energy] . . . 
establish a demonstration program, in cooperation with the private 
sector, for the dry storage of spent nuclear fuel at civilian nuclear 
power reactor sites, with the objective of establishing one or more 
technologies that the [Nuclear Regulatory] Commission may, by rule, 
approve for use at the sites of civilian nuclear power reactors 
without, to the maximum extent practicable, the need for additional 
site-specific approvals by the Commission.'' Section 133 of the Nuclear 
Waste Policy Act states, in part, that ``[t]he Commission shall, by 
rule, establish procedures for the licensing of any technology approved 
by the Commission under Section 219(a) [sic: 218(a)] for use at the 
site of any civilian nuclear power reactor.''
    To implement this mandate, the Commission approved dry storage of 
spent nuclear fuel in NRC-approved casks under a general license by 
publishing a final rule that added a new subpart K in part 72 of title 
10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) entitled ``General 
License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites'' (55 FR 
29181; July 18, 1990). This rule also established a new subpart L in 10 
CFR part 72 entitled ``Approval of Spent Fuel Storage Casks,'' which 
contains procedures and criteria for obtaining NRC approval of spent 
fuel storage cask designs. The NRC subsequently issued a final rule on 
October 19, 2000 (65 FR 62581), that approved the NAC International 
NAC-UMS Universal Storage System and added it to the list of NRC-
approved cask designs in Sec.  72.214 as Certificate of Compliance No. 
1015.

IV. Discussion of Changes

    On July 30, 2021, NAC International submitted a request to the NRC 
to amend Certificate of Compliance No. 1015. Amendment No. 9 revises 
the certificate of compliance to correct the effective thermal 
properties for pressurized-water reactor fuel assemblies used in the 
certification basis ANSYS thermal models and update some modeling 
assumptions.
    This direct final rule also corrects a page number and number in a 
footer of Technical Specifications, Appendix B in Amendment No. 8. The 
changes to the aforementioned documents are identified with revisions 
bars in the margin of each document.
    As documented in the safety evaluation report, the NRC performed a 
safety evaluation of the proposed certificate of compliance amendment 
request. The NRC determined that this amendment does not reflect a 
significant change in design or fabrication of the cask. Specifically, 
the NRC determined that the design of the cask would continue to 
maintain confinement, shielding, and criticality control in the event 
of each evaluated accident condition. In addition, any resulting 
occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the implementation of 
Amendment No. 9 would remain well within the limits specified by 10 CFR 
part 20, ``Standards for Protection Against Radiation.'' Therefore, the 
NRC found that there will be no significant change in the types or 
amounts of any effluent released, no significant increase

[[Page 35860]]

in the individual or cumulative radiation exposure, and no significant 
increase in the potential for or consequences from radiological 
accidents.
    The NRC determined that the amended NAC International NAC-UMS 
Universal Storage System design, when used under the conditions 
specified in the certificate of compliance, the technical 
specifications, and the NRC's regulations, will meet the requirements 
of 10 CFR part 72; therefore, adequate protection of public health and 
safety will continue to be reasonably assured. When this direct final 
rule becomes effective, persons who hold a general license under Sec.  
72.210 may, consistent with the license conditions under Sec.  72.212, 
load spent nuclear fuel into NAC International NAC-UMS Universal 
Storage System that meet the criteria of Amendment No. 9 to Certificate 
of Compliance No. 1015.

V. Voluntary Consensus Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. 
L. 104-113) requires that Federal agencies use technical standards that 
are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies unless 
the use of such a standard is inconsistent with applicable law or 
otherwise impractical. In this direct final rule, the NRC revises the 
NAC International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System design listed in 
Sec.  72.214, ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks.'' This 
action does not constitute the establishment of a standard that 
contains generally applicable requirements.

VI. Agreement State Compatibility

    Under the ``Agreement State Program Policy Statement'' approved by 
the Commission on October 2, 2017, and published in the Federal 
Register on October 18, 2017 (82 FR 48535), this direct final rule is 
classified as Compatibility Category NRC--Areas of Exclusive NRC 
Regulatory Authority. The NRC program elements in this category are 
those that relate directly to areas of regulation reserved to the NRC 
by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or the provisions of 10 
CFR chapter I. Therefore, compatibility is not required for program 
elements in this category. Although an Agreement State may not adopt 
program elements reserved to the NRC, and the Category ``NRC'' does not 
confer regulatory authority on the State, the State may wish to inform 
its licensees of certain requirements by means consistent with the 
particular State's administrative procedure laws.

VII. Plain Writing

    The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal 
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, and well-organized 
manner. The NRC has written this document to be consistent with the 
Plain Writing Act as well as the Presidential Memorandum, ``Plain 
Language in Government Writing,'' published June 10, 1998 (63 FR 
31885).

VIII. Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact

    Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, 
and the NRC's regulations in 10 CFR part 51, ``Environmental Protection 
Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory Functions,'' 
the NRC has determined that this direct final rule, if adopted, would 
not be a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of 
the human environment and, therefore, an environmental impact statement 
is not required. The NRC has made a finding of no significant impact on 
the basis of this environmental assessment.

A. The Action

    The action is to amend Sec.  72.214 to revise the NAC International 
NAC-UMS Universal Storage System listing within the ``List of approved 
spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 9 to Certificate of 
Compliance No. 1015 and correct Amendment No. 8.

B. The Need for the Action

    This direct final rule amends the certificate of compliance for the 
NAC International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System design within the 
list of approved spent fuel storage casks to allow power reactor 
licensees to store spent fuel at reactor sites in casks with the 
approved modifications under a general license. Specifically, Amendment 
No. 9 revises the certificate of compliance to correct the effective 
thermal properties for pressurized-water reactor fuel assemblies used 
in the certification basis ANSYS thermal models and update some 
modeling assumptions.
    This direct final rule also corrects a page number and number in a 
footer of Technical Specifications, Appendix B in Amendment No. 8.

C. Environmental Impacts of the Action

    On July 18,1990 (55 FR 29181), the NRC issued an amendment to 10 
CFR part 72 to provide for the storage of spent fuel under a general 
license in cask designs approved by the NRC. The potential 
environmental impact of using NRC-approved storage casks was analyzed 
in the environmental assessment for the 1990 final rule. The 
environmental assessment for this Amendment No. 9 is based on the 
environmental assessment for the July 18, 1990, final rule. Referencing 
past environmental assessments is a standard process under the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended.
    The NAC International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System is designed 
to mitigate the effects of design basis accidents that could occur 
during storage. Design basis accidents account for human-induced events 
and the most severe natural phenomena reported for the site and 
surrounding area. Postulated accidents analyzed for an independent 
spent fuel storage installation, the type of facility at which a holder 
of a power reactor operating license would store spent fuel in casks in 
accordance with 10 CFR part 72, can include tornado winds and tornado-
generated missiles, a design basis earthquake, a design basis flood, an 
accidental cask drop, lightning effects, fire, explosions, and other 
incidents.
    This amendment does not reflect a significant change in design or 
fabrication of the cask. Because there are no significant design or 
process changes, any resulting occupational exposure or offsite dose 
rates from the implementation of Amendment No. 9 would remain well 
within the 10 CFR part 20 limits. The NRC has also determined that the 
design of the cask as modified by this rule would maintain confinement, 
shielding, and criticality control in the event of an accident. 
Therefore, the proposed changes will not result in any radiological or 
non-radiological environmental impacts that significantly differ from 
the environmental impacts evaluated in the environmental assessment 
supporting the July 18, 1990, final rule. There will be no significant 
change in the types or significant revisions in the amounts of any 
effluent released, no significant increase in the individual or 
cumulative radiation exposures, and no significant increase in the 
potential for, or consequences from, radiological accidents. The NRC 
documented its safety findings in the safety evaluation report.

D. Alternative to the Action

    The alternative to this action is to deny approval of Amendment No. 
9 and not issue the direct final rule. Consequently, any 10 CFR part 72 
general licensee that seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into NAC 
International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System in accordance with the 
changes described in proposed Amendment No. 9 would

[[Page 35861]]

have to request an exemption from the requirements of Sec. Sec.  72.212 
and 72.214. Under this alternative, interested licensees would have to 
prepare, and the NRC would have to review, a separate exemption 
request, thereby increasing the administrative burden upon the NRC and 
the costs to each licensee. The environmental impacts would be the same 
as the proposed action.

E. Alternative Use of Resources

    Approval of Amendment No. 9 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1015 
would result in no irreversible commitment of resources.

F. Agencies and Persons Contacted

    No agencies or persons outside the NRC were contacted in connection 
with the preparation of this environmental assessment.

G. Finding of No Significant Impact

    The environmental impacts of the action have been reviewed under 
the requirements in the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as 
amended, and the NRC's regulations in subpart A of 10 CFR part 51. 
Based on the foregoing environmental assessment, the NRC concludes that 
this direct final rule, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: 
NAC International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System, Certificate of 
Compliance No. 1015, Amendment No. 9,'' will not have a significant 
effect on the human environment. Therefore, the NRC has determined that 
an environmental impact statement is not necessary for this direct 
final rule.

IX. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This direct final rule does not contain any new or amended 
collections of information subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing collections of information were 
approved by the Office of Management and Budget, approval number 3150-
0132.

Public Protection Notification

    The NRC may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a request for information or an information collection 
requirement unless the requesting document displays a currently valid 
Office of Management and Budget control number.

X. Regulatory Flexibility Certification

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), the 
NRC certifies that this direct final rule will not, if issued, have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
This direct final rule affects only nuclear power plant licensees and 
NAC International. These entities do not fall within the scope of the 
definition of small entities set forth in the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act or the size standards established by the NRC (Sec.  2.810).

XI. Regulatory Analysis

    On July 18, 1990 (55 FR 29181), the NRC issued an amendment to 10 
CFR part 72 to provide for the storage of spent nuclear fuel under a 
general license in cask designs approved by the NRC. Any nuclear power 
reactor licensee can use NRC-approved cask designs to store spent 
nuclear fuel if (1) it notifies the NRC in advance; (2) the spent fuel 
is stored under the conditions specified in the cask's certificate of 
compliance; and (3) the conditions of the general license are met. A 
list of NRC-approved cask designs is contained in Sec.  72.214. On 
October 19, 2000 (65 FR 62581), the NRC issued an amendment to 10 CFR 
part 72 that approved the NAC-UMS Universal Storage System by adding it 
to the list of NRC-approved cask designs in Sec.  72.214. On July 30, 
2021, NAC International submitted a request to amend the NAC-UMS 
Universal Storage System as described in Section IV, ``Discussion of 
Changes,'' of this document.
    The alternative to this action is to withhold approval of Amendment 
No. 9, correct Amendment No. 8 in a separate action, and to require any 
10 CFR part 72 general licensee seeking to load spent nuclear fuel into 
NAC International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System under the changes 
described in Amendment No. 9 to request an exemption from the 
requirements of Sec. Sec.  72.212 and 72.214. Under this alternative, 
each interested 10 CFR part 72 licensee would have to prepare, and the 
NRC would have to review, a separate exemption request, thereby 
increasing the administrative burden upon the NRC and the costs to each 
licensee.
    Approval of this direct final rule is consistent with previous NRC 
actions. Further, as documented in the safety evaluation report and 
environmental assessment, this direct final rule will have no adverse 
effect on public health and safety or the environment. This direct 
final rule has no significant identifiable impact or benefit on other 
government agencies. Based on this regulatory analysis, the NRC 
concludes that the requirements of this direct final rule are 
commensurate with the NRC's responsibilities for public health and 
safety and the common defense and security. No other available 
alternative is believed to be as satisfactory; therefore, this action 
is recommended.

XII. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    The NRC has determined that the backfit rule (Sec.  72.62) does not 
apply to this direct final rule. Therefore, a backfit analysis is not 
required. This direct final rule revises Certificate of Compliance No. 
1015 for the NAC International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System, as 
currently listed in Sec.  72.214. The revision consists of the changes 
in Amendment No. 9 previously described, as set forth in the revised 
certificate of compliance and technical specifications.
    Amendment No. 9 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1015 for the NAC 
International NAC-UMS Universal Storage System was initiated by NAC 
International and was not submitted in response to new NRC 
requirements, or an NRC request for amendment. Amendment No. 9 applies 
only to new casks fabricated and used under Amendment No. 9. These 
changes do not affect existing users of the NAC International NAC-UMS 
Universal Storage System, and the current Amendment No. 8 continues to 
be effective for existing users. While current users of this storage 
system may comply with the new requirements in Amendment No. 9, this 
would be a voluntary decision on the part of current users.
    For these reasons, Amendment No. 9 to Certificate of Compliance No. 
1015 does not constitute backfitting under Sec.  72.62 or Sec.  
50.109(a)(1), or otherwise represent an inconsistency with the issue 
finality provisions applicable to combined licenses in 10 CFR part 52. 
Accordingly, the NRC has not prepared a backfit analysis for this 
rulemaking.

XIII. Congressional Review Act

    This direct final rule is not a rule as defined in the 
Congressional Review Act.
