Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Dry Cask Storage NUCP

History Congress Passed Nuclear Waste Policy Act Spent Fuel Pools near Capacity 1 st Dry Storage System licensed in 1986 at Surry Power Station

History 3 27 Dry Storage Sites (as of March 2003) Licensed at Reactor Sites 1 Licensed for TMI-2 Fuel Debris

Licensing 10CFR72 – Dry Storage Casks Designs Approve by NRC Currently 15 in use (as of December 2004) – Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) Site-Specific General 4

Licensing – Dry Storage Casks 5

6 Licenses (one or both) – Storage – Transport Specifications – 17 feet height – 180,000 lbs. (230,000 lbs. fully-loaded) – Holds 30 – 60 fuel assemblies

Licensing – Dry Storage Casks Maximum Burnup 60 MWD/MTU (most around 45 MWD/MTU) Minimum Decay time in SFP: 5 – 10 years 20 – 30 kW thermal (depends on size) Maximum Enrichment 5% 7

Licensing – Dry Storage Casks 8 Typical Materials – Structural Carbon Steel Stainless Steels Concrete – Shielding Borated Resin Borated Aluminum Lead

Licensing – Dry Storage Casks Mother Nature – Wind / Tornados – Missiles (trees, telephone poles) – Snow and Ice – Earthquakes Accidents – Cask Tip-over – Cask Drop – Fire – Loss of Cooling (vents blocked) 9
