NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
10 CFR Part 72
[NRC-2015-0067]
RIN 3150-AJ58
List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec International
HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System, Certificate of Compliance No.
1040, Amendment No. 1
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 Holtec International,
Inc. (Holtec), HI-STORM (Holtec International Storage Module)
Underground Maximum Capacity (UMAX) Canister Storage System listing
within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to add
Amendment No. 1 to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) No. 1040. Amendment
No. 1 provides a seismically enhanced version of the HI-STORM UMAX
Canister Storage System, identified as the ``Most Severe Earthquake
(MSE)'' version, that could be used in areas with higher seismic
demands than those analyzed previously. Amendment No. 1 also includes
minor physical design changes to help ensure structural integrity of
the amended system. These are the addition of a hold-down system to the
closure lid; replacing the fill material in the interstitial spaces
between the cavity enclosure containers (CECs) surrounding the casks
with 3000 psi concrete; strengthening the multi-purpose canister (MPC)
guides; and engineering the guides' nominal gap with the MPC to be
tighter than the original HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System design.
DATES: The direct final rule is effective September 8, 2015, unless
significant adverse comments are received by July 23, 2015. If the
direct final rule is withdrawn as a result of such comments, timely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 Commission 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. Procedural Background
This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 1 to
CoC No. 1040 and does not include other aspects of the HI-STORM UMAX
Canister Storage System. 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. The amendment to the rule will become effective on
September 8, 2015. However, if the NRC receives significant adverse
comments on this direct final rule by July 23, 2015, 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
ADDRESSES section of this document.
III. Background
Section 218(a) of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act (NWPA) of 1982, as
amended, requires that ``the Secretary [of the U.S. 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 [U.S. 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 ``[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 which 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
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 March 6, 2015 (80 FR 12073), as corrected on
March 25, 2015 (80 FR 15679), that approved the HI-STORM UMAX Canister
Storage System design and added it to the list of NRC-approved cask
designs in 10 CFR 72.214 as CoC No. 1040.
IV. Discussion of Changes
By letter dated July 11, 2014, and as supplemented on October 31,
2014, Holtec submitted an application to the NRC to amend the HI-STORM
UMAX Canister Storage System, CoC No. 1040, under subpart K of 10 CFR
part 72. Amendment No. 1 to CoC No. 1040 provides a seismically
enhanced version of the HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System,
identified as the ``Most Severe Earthquake (MSE)'' version, that could
be used in areas with higher seismic demands than those analyzed
previously. Amendment No. 1 also includes minor physical design changes
to help ensure structural integrity of the amended system. These are
the addition of a hold-down system to the closure lid; replacing the
fill material in the interstitial spaces between the CECs surrounding
the casks with 3000 psi concrete; strengthening the MPC guides; and
engineering the guides' nominal gap with the MPC to be tighter than the
original HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System design.
As documented in the NRC staff's Safety Evaluation Report (SER)
(ML15070A149), the NRC staff performed a detailed safety evaluation of
the proposed CoC amendment request. This amendment does not reflect a
significant change in design or fabrication of the HI-STROM UMAX
Canister Storage System cask design previously approved by the NRC (see
80 FR 12073, as corrected 80 FR 15679). Considering the specific design
requirements for accident conditions, the NRC staff determined that the
design of the cask would continue to prevent loss of confinement,
shielding, and criticality control.
This direct final rule revises the Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister
Storage System listing in 10 CFR 72.214 by adding Amendment No. 1 to
CoC No. 1040. 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 Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System, 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 Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage Systems that meet the
criteria of Amendment No. 1 to CoC No. 1040 under 10 CFR 72.212.
[[Page 35831]]
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 will amend
the Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage 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.
VI. 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 direct final 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.
VII. 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.
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 31883).
VIII. Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant
Environmental Impact
A. The Action
The action is to amend 10 CFR 72.214 to amend the Holtec HI-STORM
UMAX Canister Storage System listing within the ``List of approved
spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 1 to CoC No. 1040.
Under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, and
the NRC's regulations in subpart A of 10 CFR part 51, ``Environmental
Protection Regulations for Domestic Licensing and Related Regulatory
Functions,'' 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 direct final rule amends the CoC for the Holtec HI-STORM UMAX
Canister Storage 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, Amendment No. 1
to CoC No. 1040 provides a seismically enhanced version of the HI-STORM
UMAX Canister Storage System, identified as the ``Most Severe
Earthquake (MSE)'' version that could be used in areas with higher
seismic demands than those analyzed previously. Amendment No. 1 also
includes minor physical design changes to help ensure the structural
integrity of the amended system. These are the addition of a hold-down
system to the closure lid; replacing the fill material in the
interstitial spaces between the CECs surrounding the casks with 3000
psi concrete; strengthening MPC guides; and engineering the guides'
nominal gap with the MPC to be tighter than the original HI-STORM UMAX
Canister Storage System.
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 initially
analyzed in the environmental assessment for the 1990 final rule. The
environmental assessment for this amendment 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.
Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage 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 accident
conditions, the design of the storage system 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. There are no significant changes to
cask design requirements in the proposed CoC amendment. In addition,
because there are no significant design or process changes, any
resulting occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the
implementation of Amendment No.1 would remain well within the 10 CFR
part 20 limits. Therefore, the proposed CoC amendment 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 NRC staff documented its safety findings in
the SER for this amendment.
D. Alternative to the Action
The alternative to this action is to deny approval of Amendment No.
1 and terminate the direct final rule. Consequently, any 10 CFR part 72
general licensee that seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into Holtec HI-
STORM UMAX Canister Storage Systems in accordance with the changes
described in proposed Amendment No. 1 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 of the alternative to the action
would be the same or more than the impacts of the action.
E. Alternative Use of Resources
Approval of Amendment No.1 to CoC No. 1040 would result in no
irreversible commitments of resources.
[[Page 35832]]
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 direct final rule
entitled, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec
International HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System, Certificate of
Compliance No. 1040, Amendment No. 1,'' 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 information collection
requirements and, therefore, is not subject to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 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.
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 Holtec. 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. 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 March 6, 2015 (80 FR 12073), as corrected on March 25, 2015 (80
FR 15679), the NRC issued an amendment to 10 CFR part 72 that approved
the Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System design by adding it to
the list of NRC-approved cask designs in 10 CFR 72.214. On July 11,
2014, and as supplemented on October 31, 2014, Holtec submitted an
application to amend the HI-STORM UMAX Canister 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.1 and to require any 10 CFR part 72 general licensees seeking to
load spent nuclear fuel into the Holtec HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage
System under the changes described in Amendment No. 1 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 this 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.
XII. 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 amends CoC No. 1040 for the Holtec
HI-STORM UMAX Canister Storage System, as currently listed in 10 CFR
72.214, ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks.'' Amendment No. 1
provides a seismically enhanced version of the HI-STORM UMAX Canister
Storage System, identified as the ``Most Severe Earthquake (MSE)''
version that could be used in areas with higher seismic demands than
those analyzed previously. It also includes minor physical design
changes to help ensure structural integrity of the amended system.
Amendment No. 1 of CoC No. 1040 for the Holtec HI-STORM UMAX
Canister Storage System was initiated by Holtec and was not submitted
in response to new NRC requirements, or an NRC request for amendment.
Holtec, as the CoC holder, is not protected by the backfitting
provisions under 10 CFR 72.62.
In addition, the changes in Amendment No. 1 do not apply to casks
which were manufactured to the initial CoC 1040. Amendment No. 1
applies only to new casks fabricated and used under Amendment No. 1.
Therefore, these changes do not affect existing users of the Holtec
UMAX Canister Storage System. For these reasons, Amendment No. 1 to CoC
No. 1040 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.
XIII. Congressional Review Act
This action is not a rule as defined in the Congressional Review
Act (5 U.S.C. 801-808).
