SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 6, 2023 (88 FR 949), the NRC
published a direct final rule amending its regulations in part 72 of
title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) to revise the
Holtec International HI-STORM 100 Flood/Wind Multipurpose Canister
Storage System listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage
casks'' to add amendment No. 6 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1032.
Amendment No. 6 revises and clarifies design and operational
requirements in the certificate of compliance for the HI-STORM FW
overpack. This amendment also incorporates additional clarifications as
well as editorial changes that do not change the substantive technical
information of the certificate of compliance.
Amendment No. 6 revises the certificate and technical
specifications to: (1) Add an anchored configuration for the HI-STORM
FW overpack; (2) Allow use of non-single failure proof lifting
equipment during handling of heavy loads within the 10 CFR part 72
jurisdictional boundary; (3) Revise LCO 3.1.2, ``SFSC Heat Removal
System Operability,'' to allow an engineering evaluation to be
performed in lieu of transferring the multipurpose canister (MPC) into
a transfer cask; (4) Revise the Radioactive Effluent Control Program to
no longer require annual submittal of a separate radioactive effluent
report [10 CFR 72.44(d)(3)] for the HI-STORM FW system; (5) Revise the
allowable contents for the MPC-37, -89, and -32ML to clarify that fuel
debris permitted for storage does not need to meet all the dimensional
requirements and characteristics in tables 2.1-2 and 2.1-3, provided
that requirements in table 2.1-1 are met; (6) Revise the MPC-37, -89,
and -32ML basket Design Features to clarify that the minimum cell ID
and minimum cell wall thickness are nominal dimensions; and (7)
Incorporate additional clarifications and editorial changes that do not
change the substantive technical information of the certificate of
compliance.
In the direct final rule, the NRC stated that if no significant
adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become
effective on March 22, 2023. The NRC did not receive any comments on
the direct final rule. Therefore, this direct final rule will become
effective as scheduled.
Dated: February 24, 2023.
