[NRC-2013-0236]


List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Transnuclear, Inc. 
Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System

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 Transnuclear, Inc. 
Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System listing within the ``List of 
Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 13 to 
Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1004. Amendment No. 13 revises 
authorized contents to: add two new dry shielded canisters (DSCs), the 
-37PTH and the -69BTH; add new approved contents, including blended low 
enriched uranium (BLEU) fuel, and control components to already 
approved DSCs; and extend the use of the high-seismic horizontal 
storage module (HSM-HS) for storage of already approved DSCs. In 
addition, the amendment makes several other changes as described in 
Section III, ``Discussion of Changes'' in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
section of this document.

DATES: The final rule is effective May 24, 2014, unless significant 
adverse comments are received by April 9, 2014. If the 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withdrawn as a result of such comments, timely notice of the withdrawal 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 staff 
is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before 
this date.

I. Procedural Background

    This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 13 
to CoC No. 1004 and does not include other aspects of the Transnuclear, 
Inc. Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask 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 CoC that is 
expected to be noncontroversial. Adequate protection of public health 
and safety continues to be ensured. The amendment to the rule will 
become effective on May 24, 2014. However, if the NRC receives 
significant adverse comments on this direct final rule by April 9, 
2014, 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 
Rule 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 staff 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 staff.
    (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 staff to make a change (other than 
editorial) to the rule, CoC, or Technical Specifications (TSs).
    For detailed instructions on submitting comments, please see the 
companion proposed rule published in the Proposed Rule section of this 
issue of the Federal Register.

II. Background

    Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, as 
amended, requires that ``the Secretary [of the Department of Energy] 
shall 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 NWPA 
states, in part, that ``[the 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 in part 72 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal 
Regulations (10 CFR),''Licensing Requirements for the Independent 
Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and 
Reactor-Related Greater than Class C Waste,'' which added a new subpart 
K within 10 CFR part 72 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 within 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 December 22, 1994 (59 FR 
65898), that approved the Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System 
design and added it to the list of NRC-approved cask designs in 10 CFR 
72.214 as CoC No. 1004.

III. Discussion of Changes

    On February 9, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110460525), and as 
supplemented on July 22, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11217A043), March 
19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120960488), and September 24, 2012 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML12270A084), Transnuclear, Inc., the holder of 
CoC No. 1004, submitted to the NRC a request to amend CoC No. 1004. 
Specifically, Transnuclear, Inc. requested changes to: (1) Add two new 
DSCs, the -37PTH and the -69BTH; (2) add new approved contents, 
including BLEU fuel, and control components to already approved DSCs; 
and (3) extend the use of the HSM-HS for storage of already approved 
DSCs. Specific changes to the TSs are:
     Add a new DSC, the -69BTH.
     Add a new DSC, the -37PTH.
     Add control components other than burnable poison rod 
assemblies and damaged fuel assemblies, and allow non-zircaloy cladding 
and guide tubes as approved contents to the -24PHB DSC.
     Add high burn-up fuel assemblies with and without control 
components as approved contents to the -32PT DSC.
     Add failed fuel as approved contents to the -61BTH and -
24PTH DSCs.
     Extend the use of the HSM-HS for storage of the -61BT, -
32PT, -24PTH, -61BTH, -69BTH, and -37PTH DSCs.
     Extend the use of metal matrix composites as a neutron 
absorber material in the -61BTH Type 1 and Type 2 DSCs for higher heat 
loads.
     Add BLEU fuel material as approved contents.
     Modify the inlet vent shielding designs to achieve dose 
reductions for the HSM-H and HSM-HS.
     Allow the transfer of -61BT, -32PT, -24PTH, and -61BTH 
DSCs in the OS200 Transfer Cask.
     Allow the use of Type III cement as an alternate 
equivalent to the Type II cement used in HSM construction.
     Change the TSs neutron absorber testing and acceptance 
requirements in order to remain consistent with similar requirements in 
other ongoing licensing actions, plus certain new changes in this area.
     Make additional changes for consistency within the TSs and 
the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report.
    As documented in the SER (ADAMS Accession No. ML13273A327), the NRC 
staff performed a detailed safety evaluation of the proposed CoC 
amendment request. There are no significant changes to cask design 
requirements in the proposed CoC amendment. Considering the specific 
design requirements for each accident condition, the design of the cask 
would prevent loss of containment, shielding, and criticality control. 
If there is no loss of containment, shielding, or criticality

[[Page 13194]]

control, the environmental impacts would be insignificant. This 
amendment does not reflect a significant change in design or 
fabrication of the cask. In addition, any resulting occupational 
exposure or offsite dose rates from the implementation of Amendment No. 
13 would remain well within the 10 CFR part 20 limits. Therefore, the 
proposed CoC 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 (55 FR 29181) that amended 10 
CFR part 72 to provide for the storage of spent nuclear fuel under a 
general license in cask designs approved by the NRC. 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 exposure, and no significant increase in the 
potential for or consequences from radiological accidents from those 
analyzed in that environmental assessment.
    On September 11, 2009, Transnuclear, Inc. submitted an application 
for Amendment No. 12 to CoC No. 1004. The application was in response 
to the Department of Energy's Transportation, Aging and Disposal 
Program. The NRC staff returned the application due to uncertainty of 
funding for the application review, and therefore, the rule currently 
does not contain an Amendment No. 12. This direct final rule revises 
the Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System listing in 10 CFR 72.214 by 
adding Amendment No. 13 to CoC No. 1004. The amendment consists of the 
changes previously described, as set forth in the revised CoC and TSs. 
The revised TSs are identified in the SER.
    The amended Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] cask design, when used 
under the conditions specified in the CoC, the TSs, 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 
ensured. When this direct final rule becomes effective, persons who 
hold a general license under 10 CFR 72.210 may load spent nuclear fuel 
into Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask Systems that meet the criteria of 
Amendment No. 13 to CoC No. 1004 under 10 CFR 72.212.

IV. 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 will revise 
the Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System design listed in 10 CFR 
72.214, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks.'' This action does 
not constitute the establishment of a standard that contains generally 
applicable requirements.

V. Agreement State Compatibility

    Under the ``Policy Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of 
Agreement State Programs'' approved by the Commission on June 30, 1997, 
and published in the Federal Register on September 3, 1997 (62 FR 
46517), this rule is classified as Compatibility Category ``NRC.'' 
Compatibility is not required for Category ``NRC'' regulations. 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. Although an Agreement 
State may not adopt program elements reserved to the NRC, it may wish 
to inform its licensees of certain requirements via a mechanism that is 
consistent with the particular State's administrative procedure laws, 
but does not confer regulatory authority on the State.

VI. Plain Writing

    The Plain Writing Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111-274) requires Federal 
agencies to write documents in a clear, concise, well-organized manner 
that also follows other best practices appropriate to the subject or 
field and the intended audience. The NRC has attempted to use plain 
language in promulgating this rule consistent with the Federal Plain 
Writing Act guidelines.

VII. Finding of No Significant Environmental Impact: Availability

A. The Action

    The action is to amend 10 CFR 72.214 to revise the Transnuclear, 
Inc. Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System listing within the ``List 
of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 13 to 
CoC No. 1004.
    Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, 
and the NRC regulations in subpart A of 10 CFR part 51, the NRC has 
determined that this 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.

B. The Need for the Action

    This rule amends the CoC for the Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask 
System design within the list of approved spent fuel storage casks that 
power reactor licensees can use to store spent fuel at reactor sites 
under a general license. Specifically, Transnuclear, Inc. requested 
changes to revise authorized contents to: (1) Add two new DSCs, the -
37PTH and the -69BTH; (2) add new approved contents, including BLEU 
fuel, and control components to already approved DSCs; and (3) extend 
the use of the HSM-HS for storage of already approved DSCs.

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 nuclear fuel under a 
general license in cask designs approved by the NRC. The potential 
environmental impact of using NRC-approved storage casks was initially 
analyzed in the environmental assessment for the 1990 final rule. The 
environmental assessment for this Amendment No. 13 tiers off of the 
environmental assessment for the July 18, 1990, final rule. Tiering on 
past environmental assessments is a standard process under the National 
Environmental Policy Act.
    Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask Systems are 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, 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.
    Considering the specific design requirements for each accident 
condition, the design of the cask would prevent loss of containment, 
shielding, and criticality control. If there is no loss of containment, 
shielding, or criticality control, the environmental impacts would be 
insignificant. This amendment does not reflect a significant change in 
design or fabrication of the cask. There are no significant changes to 
cask design requirements in the proposed CoC amendment. In addition, 
any resulting

[[Page 13195]]

occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the implementation of 
Amendment No. 13 would remain well within the 10 CFR part 20 limits. 
Therefore, the proposed CoC 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 exposure, and no significant increase in the 
potential for or consequences from radiological accidents.
    The staff documented its findings in a safety evaluation report 
which is available in ADAMS under Accession No. ML13273A327.

D. Alternative to the Action

    The alternative to this action is to deny approval of Amendment No. 
13 and end the direct final rulemaking. Consequently, any 10 CFR part 
72 general licensee that seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into the 
Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System in accordance with the changes 
described in proposed Amendment No. 13 would have to request an 
exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 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. 
Therefore, the environmental impacts would be the same or less than the 
action.

E. Alternative Use of Resources

    Approval of Amendment No. 13 to CoC No. 1004 would result in no 
irreversible commitments 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 10 CFR part 51.
    Based on the foregoing environmental assessment, the NRC concludes 
that this rulemaking entitled, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage 
Casks: Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System,'' 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 rule.
    Documents related to this rulemaking, including comments received 
by the NRC, may be examined at the NRC Public Document Room, Room O-
1F21, One White Flint North, 11555 Rockville Pike, Rockville, Maryland 
20852.

VIII. Paperwork Reduction Act Statement

    This rule does not contain any information collection requirements 
and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Existing requirements were approved by the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), 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 
OMB control number.

IX. 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 it notifies the NRC in advance, the spent fuel is 
stored under the conditions specified in the cask's CoC, and the 
conditions of the general license are met. A list of NRC-approved cask 
designs is contained in 10 CFR 72.214. On December 22, 1994 (59 FR 
65898), the NRC issued an amendment to 10 CFR part 72 that approved the 
Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System design by adding it to the list 
of NRC-approved cask designs in 10 CFR 72.214.
    On February 9, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML110460525), and as 
supplemented on July 22, 2011 (ADAMS Accession No. ML11217A043), March 
19, 2012 (ADAMS Accession No. ML120960488), and September 24, 2012 
(ADAMS Accession No. ML12270A084), Transnuclear, Inc., submitted an 
application to amend the Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System as 
described in Section III.
    The alternative to this action is to withhold approval of Amendment 
No. 13 and to require any 10 CFR part 72 general licensee seeking to 
load spent nuclear fuel into Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask Systems 
under the changes described in Amendment No. 13 to request an exemption 
from the requirements of 10 CFR 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 the direct final rule is consistent with previous NRC 
actions. Further, as documented in the SER and the environmental 
assessment, the 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 the 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, and therefore, this action is recommended.

X. Regulatory Flexibility Certification

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), the 
NRC certifies that this 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 Transnuclear, 
Inc. 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 (10 CFR 2.810).

XI. Backfitting and Issue Finality

    The NRC has determined that the backfit rule (10 CFR 72.62) does 
not apply to this direct final rule. Therefore, a backfit analysis is 
not required. This direct final rule revises CoC No. 1004 for the 
Transnuclear, Inc. Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System, as 
currently listed in 10 CFR 72.214, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel 
Storage Casks.'' The revision consists of Amendment No. 13, which: (1) 
Adds two new DSCs, the -37PTH and the -69BTH; (2) adds new approved 
contents, including BLEU fuel, and control components to already 
approved DSCs; and (3) extends the use of the HSM-HS for storage of 
already approved DSCs. Amendment No. 13 to CoC No. 1004 for the 
Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System was initiated by Transnuclear, 
Inc. and was not submitted in response to new NRC requirements, or an 
NRC request for amendment. Amendment No. 13 applies only to new casks 
fabricated and used under Amendment No. 13. These changes do not affect 
existing users of

[[Page 13196]]

the Standardized NUHOMS[supreg] Cask System, and the current Amendment 
No. 11 continues to be effective for existing users. While current CoC 
users may comply with the new requirements in Amendment No. 13, this 
would be a voluntary decision on the part of current users. For these 
reasons, Amendment No. 13 to CoC No. 1004 does not constitute 
backfitting under 10 CFR 72.62, 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1), or otherwise 
represent an inconsistency with the issue finality provisions 
applicable to combined licenses in 10 CFR part 52. Accordingly, no 
backfit analysis or additional documentation addressing the issue 
finality criteria in 10 CFR part 52 has been prepared by the staff.

XII. Congressional Review Act

    The Office of Management and Budget has not found this to be a 
major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.

List of Subjects in 10 CFR Part 72

training programs, Nuclear materials, Occupational safety and health, 
Penalties, Radiation protection, Reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements, Security measures, Spent fuel, Whistleblowing.

    For the reasons set out in the preamble and under the authority of 
the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended; the Energy Reorganization 
Act of 1974, as amended; the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982, as 
amended; and 5 U.S.C. 552 and 553; the NRC is adopting the following
