0092]
ZionSolutions LLC; Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; Duke Energy

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
ACTION: Exemptions; issuance.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued four
exemptions in response to requests from ZionSolutions LLC; Dominion
Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; and Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC. The exemptions
allow the licensees to deviate from the requirements for the
MAGNASTOR[supreg] storage cask system in Certificate of Compliance No.
1031, Amendment No. 7 (for Catawba and McGuire) and Amendment No. 6
(for Zion and Kewaunee), by utilizing two exceptions to the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. The
NRC is issuing a single notice to announce the issuance of these
exemptions because these are nearly identical.
DATES: The four exemptions were issued on April 21, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The NRC issued four exemptions in response to requests dated
December 30, 2019, January 16, 2020, and January 9, 2020, from
ZionSolutions LLC; Dominion Energy Kewaunee, Inc.; Duke Energy
Carolinas, LLC, respectively. The exemptions allow exemption from the
requirements of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR)
sections 72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3), 72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.214, and the
portion of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(11), which requires compliance with the
terms and conditions set forth in the certificate of compliance for
each spent fuel cask used by an independent spent fuel storage
installation general licensee.
The exemptions requested use of two exceptions to the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, one
for the Section III, Division 1, Subsection NG-2300, Charpy V-notch
testing direction requirement for carbon steel plate material greater
than 0.625 inches thick and the other to the post-heat treatment
ultrasonic testing requirements in Section III, Division 1, Subsection
NG-2500, for rolled carbon steel plate material greater than 0.75
inches thick. The requested exemptions do not change the fundamental
design, components, contents, or safety features of the storage system.
