NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
[NRC-2015-0098]
Seismic Stability Analysis for Spent Fuel Dry Cask Stack-Up
Configuration
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Draft regulatory issue summary; request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is seeking public
comment on a draft regulatory issue summary (RIS), RIS 2015-XX
``Seismic Stability Analysis Methodologies for Spent Fuel Dry Cask
Loading Stack-up Configuration.'' This RIS clarifies the NRC staff's
position on acceptable seismic stability analysis methodologies to
determine if a spent fuel dry cask loading stack-up configuration needs
to be laterally supported
DATES: Submit comments by June 4, 2015. Comments received after this
date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the Commission
is able to assure consideration only for comments received before this

II. Background
The NRC is requesting public comments on the draft RIS. The NRC
issues RISs to communicate with stakeholders on a broad range of
regulatory matters. This may include communicating and restating staff
technical positions on regulatory matters.
The NRC staff has developed draft RIS 2015-XX, ``Seismic Stability
Analysis Methodologies for Spent Fuel Dry Cask Loading Stack-up
Configuration,'' to share information regarding acceptable seismic
stability analysis methodologies to determine if a spent fuel dry cask
loading stack-up configuration needs to be laterally supported. The
draft RIS is available electronically under ADAMS Accession No.
ML13353A710.
Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 14th day of April, 2015.
For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

Chief, Generic Communications Branch, Division of Policy and
Rulemaking, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation.
