SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Under contract with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), The 
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory prepared a draft NUREG/CR report, 
``Spent Fuel Transportation Package Response to the Baltimore Tunnel 
Fire (BTF) Scenario.'' This NUREG/CR documents the thermal analyses of 
three different spent fuel transportation packages exposed to the BTF 
scenario: TransNuclear TN-68, Holtec HI-STAR 100 and the NAC LWT. 
Consequence analyses prepared by the Spent Fuel Project Office staff 
are also included.
    The NRC is soliciting public comments on this draft NUREG/CR which 
will be considered in the final version or subsequent revisions.

II. Summary

    The purpose of this notice is to provide the public an opportunity 
to review and comment on the Draft NUREG/CR thermal analyses, the 
consequence analyses and the conclusions.

III. Further Information
