RIN 3150-AJ75
List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec International
HI-STORM Flood/Wind Multipurpose Canister Storage System, Amendment No.
2
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 ``List of Approved Spent
Fuel Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 2 to Certificate of
Compliance (CoC) No. 1032 for the Holtec International (Holtec) HI-
STORM Flood/Wind (FW) Multipurpose Canister (MPC) Storage System.
Amendment No. 2 adds new fuel types to the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage
System, includes new criticality calculations, updates an existing fuel
type description, and includes changes previously incorporated in
Amendment No. 0 to CoC No. 1032, Revision 1. In addition, Amendment No.
2 makes several other changes as described in Section IV, ``Discussion
of Changes,'' in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this
document.
DATES: The direct final rule is effective November 7, 2016, unless
significant adverse comments are received by September 22, 2016. 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direct final rule is withdrawn as a result of such comments, timely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

II. Procedural Background
This rule is limited to the changes contained in Amendment No. 2 to
CoC No. 1032 and does not include other aspects of the Holtec HI-STORM
FW MPC Storage 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 November 7, 2016. However, if the NRC receives significant
adverse comments on this direct final rule by September 22, 2016, 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 filing comments, please see the
companion proposed rule published in the Proposed Rule section of this
issue of the Federal Register.
III. 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 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 in 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
dated March 28, 2011 (76 FR 17019), that approved the Holtec HI-STORM
FW MPC Storage System design and added it to the list of NRC-approved
cask designs in 10 CFR 72.214, ``List of approved spent fuel storage
casks,'' as CoC No. 1032.
IV. Discussion of Changes
By letter dated March 31, 2015, Holtec submitted a request to the
NRC to amend CoC No. 1032 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15092A130). Holtec
supplemented its request on the following dates: April 9, 2015 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15114A423), June 19,
[[Page 57444]]
2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15170A433), and August 14, 2015 (ADAMS
Accession No. ML15233A038). Amendment No. 2 includes the following
changes:
Adds new fuel types to the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System;
Includes criticality calculations performed in support of
the request for Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1040 for the HI-STORM
Underground Maximum Canister Storage System;
Updates an existing fuel type description; and
Includes changes previously incorporated in Amendment No.
0 to CoC No. 1032, Revision 1.
In addition to the changes requested by Holtec, the NRC staff
proposed to revise CoC Condition No. 8 to provide additional clarity
and guidance. Holtec agreed to this change in correspondence dated
February 29, 2016 (ADAMS Accession No. ML16061A410). Therefore,
Amendment No. 2 includes the revision to CoC Condition No. 8.
As documented in the Preliminary Safety Evaluation Report (PSER)
(ADAMS Accession No. ML16054A624), 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 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. 2 would remain well within the
applicable limits of 10 CFR part 20, ``Standards for Protection Against
Radiation.'' 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 March 28, 2011, 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.
This direct final rule revises the Holtec International HI-STORM FW
MPC Storage System listing in 10 CFR 72.214 by adding Amendment No. 2
to CoC No. 1032. The amendment consists of the changes previously
described, as set forth in the revised CoC and TSs. The revised TSs are
identified in the PSER.
The amended Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System 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, ``General license issued,''
may load spent nuclear fuel into Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System
casks that meet the criteria of Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1032 under
10 CFR 72.212, ``Conditions of general license issued under Sec.
72.210.''
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 revise
the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System design listed in 10 CFR
72.214. 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 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, and 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 revise the Holtec HI-STORM
FW MPC Storage System listing within the ``List of Approved Spent Fuel
Storage Casks'' to include Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1032. 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 FW
MPC 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. 2
adds new fuel types to the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System, includes new
criticality calculations, updates an existing fuel type description,
includes changes previously submitted in Amendment No. 0 to CoC No.
1032 Revision 1, and revises CoC Condition No. 8 to provide additional
clarity and guidance.
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 No. 2 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.
[[Page 57445]]
Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System casks 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 confinement,
shielding, and criticality control. If there is no loss of confinement,
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,
because there are no significant design or process changes, any
resulting occupational exposure or offsite dose rates from the
implementation of Amendment No. 2 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 safety findings in the
PSER for this amendment, which is available in ADAMS under Accession
No. ML16054A624.
D. Alternative to the Action
The alternative to this action is to deny approval of Amendment No.
2 and end the direct final rule. Consequently, any 10 CFR part 72
general licensee that seeks to load spent nuclear fuel into Holtec HI-
STORM FW MPC Storage System casks in accordance with the changes
described in proposed Amendment No. 2 would have to request an
exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212 and 72.214. Under this
alternative, an interested 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.
Because licensees could still receive approval for use of this cask
through a different and more burdensome administrative process,
environmental impacts of the proposed action would be the same as or
less than the no-action alternative.
E. Alternative Use of Resources
Approval of Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1032 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 direct final rule
entitled, ``List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: Holtec
International HI-STORM Flood/Wind Multipurpose Canister Storage System,
Amendment No. 2'' 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 rule does not contain any information collection requirements,
and is therefore not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
X. Regulatory Flexibility Certification
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), the
NRC certifies that this direct final 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 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 casks with 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 28, 2011 (76 FR 17019),
the NRC issued a direct final rule that approved the Holtec HI-STORM FW
MPC Storage System design by adding it to the list of NRC-approved cask
designs in 10 CFR 72.214, as CoC No. 1032.
By letter dated March 31, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15092A130),
and as supplemented on April 9, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15114A423),
June 19, 2015 (ADAMS Accession No. ML15170A433), and August 14, 2015
(ADAMS Accession No. ML15233A038), Holtec submitted an application to
amend the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC 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. 2 and to require any 10 CFR part 72 general licensee seeking to
load spent nuclear fuel into Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System
casks under the changes described in Amendment No. 2 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.
Issuance of this direct final rule is consistent with previous NRC
actions. Further, as documented in the PSER 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
[[Page 57446]]
direct final rule revises CoC No. 1032 for the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC
Storage System, as currently listed in 10 CFR 72.214, ``List of
Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks.'' Amendment No. 2 adds new fuel
types to the HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System, includes new criticality
calculations, updates an existing fuel type description, includes
changes previously incorporated in Amendment No. 0 to CoC No. 1032,
Revision 1, and revises CoC Condition No. 8 to provide additional
clarity and guidance.
Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1032 for the Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC
Storage System was initiated by Holtec and was not submitted in
response to new NRC requirements, or an NRC request for amendment.
Amendment No. 2 applies only to new casks fabricated and used under
Amendment No. 2. These changes do not affect existing users of the
Holtec HI-STORM FW MPC Storage System, and the current Amendment No. 1
continues to be effective for existing users. While current CoC users
may comply with the new requirements in Amendment No. 2 this would be a
voluntary decision on the part of current users. For these reasons,
Amendment No. 2 to CoC No. 1032 does not constitute backfitting under
10 CFR 72.62 or 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
The Office of Management and Budget has not found this to be a
major rule as defined in the Congressional Review Act.
