Preoperational Testing Of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility Installation | |||
(ISFSI) at Operating Plants (60854.1) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors evaluated the licensees readiness to load spent fuel. The inspectors | |||
observed the licensees dry run activities utilizing the Transnuclear NUHOMS 61 BT | |||
cask and its storage system and activities associated with loading, transfer, and storage | |||
of dry fuel as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and | |||
regulations and with the conditions of the license. The licensee faced several | |||
challenges and the NRC identified several issues during the dry run inspection phase, | |||
and these issues were subsequently resolved satisfactorily prior to loading spent fuel. | |||
b. | |||
Observations and Findings | |||
Heavy Loads | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensees crane and heavy loads program with regards to | |||
ISFSI operations. The inspectors reviewed topics associated with the reactor building | |||
cranes hoisting system, wire rope, bridge and trolley, controls, crane inspection and | |||
maintenance, load testing, limit switches, operation, and safe load paths. The inspection | |||
consisted of documentation review, interviews with staff, and an inspection of the reactor | |||
building crane. | |||
The inspectors reviewed that the reactor building crane had been static loaded to | |||
approximately 125 percent of the 105-ton maximum critical load on its main hook. | |||
The inspectors verified that a nondestructive examination of the welds, whose | |||
failure could result in the drop of a critical load, was performed following the 125 percent | |||
cold-proof testing. After the 125 percent load test, the crane was given a full | |||
performance test with approximately 100 percent of the maximum critical load attached. | |||
The inspectors verified that the default minimum crane operating temperature was | |||
defined as 70 degrees Fahrenheit in loading procedures. A 200 percent static load test | |||
had been performed for each load-attaching hook. The hook load testing was followed | |||
by a nondestructive examination and geometric measurements to verify the soundness | |||
of fabrication and ensure integrity of the hook. All limiting and safety control devices | |||
were tested. | |||
The inspectors reviewed the cranes hoist brake system and observed the variable | |||
frequency power control braking system and three holding brakes. Holding brakes | |||
were tested to automatically apply the full holding position when power is off, and under | |||
overspeed and overload conditions. The inspectors verified the cask height during | |||
movement was sufficiently high to allow for engaging of the brakes during an | |||
uncontrolled descent before the load would impact the floor and reviewed the licensees | |||
procedure for emergency positioning of the crane and lowering the load. | |||
The cranes reeving system consisted of two drums with quadruple reeving of four | |||
wire ropes using sheave equalizers. The hoisting system had two mechanical load | |||
switches installed in the equalizer sheave that were used to de-energize the hoist | |||
drive motor and the main power supply under a load hang-up condition, but would still | |||

Enclosure | |||
9 | |||
This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, | |||
because the licensees design control process did not establish requirements necessary | |||
for complete, accurate, and up-to-date design documentation. Specifically, the | |||
appropriate ISFSI design and licensing basis requirements related to a DBT were not | |||
established for all structures and components that could affect the transfer cask during | |||
ISFSI transfer operations. [H.2(c)] | |||
Title 10 CFR Part 72.146, Design Control, required, in part, that the licensee, applicant | |||
for a license, certificate holder, and applicant for a CoC shall establish measures to | |||
ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as specified in the | |||
license or CoC application for those structures, systems, and components to which this | |||
section applies, are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and | |||
instructions. Further, it required that the design control measures must provide for | |||
verifying or checking the adequacy of design by methods such as design reviews, | |||
alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by a suitable testing program. | |||
Title 10 CFR Part 72.92(a), Design Bases External Natural Events, requires, in part, | |||
that natural phenomena that may exist or that can occur in the region of a proposed site | |||
must be identified and assessed according to their potential on the safe operation of the | |||
ISFSI. | |||
Title 10 CFR 72.122(b)(2)(i) requires that structures, systems, and components | |||
important to safety must be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena | |||
such as earthquakes, tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches, | |||
without impairing their capability to perform their intended design functions. | |||
Contrary to the above, as of May 30, 2008, the licensee failed to establish measures to | |||
ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as specified in the | |||
license or CoC application for those structures, systems, and components to which this | |||
section applies, were correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and | |||
instructions. Specifically, the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that the | |||
tornado design bases accident analyses were correctly translated into specifications, | |||
drawings, procedures, and instructions. Licensee Calculation CA-05-104, Design | |||
Adequacy of the Rail Car Shelter at Elevation 935-0 for the ISFSI Transfer Operations | |||
did not evaluate the adequacy of the Rail Car Shelter, a structure important to safety, for | |||
tornado conditions, an applicable regulatory requirement. | |||
c. Conclusion | Because this violation was of very low safety significance, was non-repetitive, and was | ||
entered into the corrective action program (AR 01157276), it is being treated as a | |||
Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy | |||
(NCV 07200058/2008-003-01). | |||
c. Conclusion | |||
The inspectors observed the licensees dry run activities utilizing the Transnuclear | |||
NUHOMS 61 BT cask and its storage system and activities associated with loading, | |||
transfer, and storage of dry fuel as they relate to safety and compliance with the | |||
Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of the license. | |||
The inspectors identified one violation of 10 CFR 72.146, Design Control. Specifically, | |||
the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that applicable regulatory | |||
Enclosure | |||
10 | |||
requirements and the design basis were correctly translated into specifications, | |||
drawings, procedures, and instructions. This finding is being treated as an NCV, | |||
2.0 | consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The finding has a cross- | ||
cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because the licensees | |||
design control process did not establish requirements necessary for complete, accurate, | |||
and up-to-date design documentation. [H.2(c)] | |||

Review of 10 CFR 72.212(b) Evaluations (60856) | |||
a. Inspection Scope | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensees 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation to determine its | |||
acceptability and compliance with conditions set forth in the CoC, the FSAR, and | |||
10 CFR Part 72 requirements in regards to the NUHOMS 61BT cask system. | |||
b. | |||
Observations and Findings | |||
The inspectors reviewed portions of select documents referenced in the evaluation, | |||
including but not limited to radiological evaluations, fire hazard analysis, quality | |||
assurance topical report, records management procedure, and documentation of | |||
subsurface profiles. | |||
The inspectors identified needed enhancements and weaknesses in the level of | |||
information in the evaluation. In particular, the inspectors determined that the licensee | |||
needed to add specific language to their 10 CFR 72.212 response to 72.212(b)(2)(c) in | |||
addressing 72.104(c) which requires that operational limits be established for radioactive | |||
materials in effluents and direct radiation levels associated with the ISFSI. The | |||
evaluation, in regard to satisfying 72.104(c), did not include Monticellos specific | |||
approach to establishment of operational limits. | |||
The licensee also needed to address how it would store all quality records in the | |||
appropriate records management system. The inspectors noted that that the final record | |||
location for many documents was not fixed, as many documents were not yet transferred | |||
from a working location to the recognized records management system for each of the | |||
documents. The team discussed this situation with the ISFSI Project representative and | |||
indicated that all records should become resident in the proper system prior to loading | |||
fuel. In response to the NRC identified issues, the licensee initiated AR 01145347 and | |||
01146174. | |||
c. Conclusion | |||
The inspectors reviewed the licensees 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation and determined that it | |||
was in compliance with conditions set forth in the CoC, the FSAR, and 10 CFR Part 72 | |||
requirements in regards to the NUHOMS 61BT cask system. | |||

SUBJECT:
MONTICELLO NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 072-00058/2008-003(DNMS)
Dear Mr. OConnor:
On December 22, 2008, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed its
inspection of the preoperational testing of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation
(ISFSI) at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The inspection focused on the pre-
operational demonstrations and program reviews associated with preparations to load fuel as
well as the actual loading activities. The dry run inspection consisted of in-office review
beginning April 12, 2008, and concluded with an exit teleconference on December 22, 2008,
with onsite inspections June 30 through July 3, August 18 through 22, and September 8 through
September 11, 2008. The enclosed report presents the results of this inspection.
The inspection consisted of observations of the dry run activities utilizing the Transnuclear
NUHOMS 61 BT cask and its storage system and activities associated with loading, transfer,
and storage of dry fuel as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and
regulations and with the conditions of the license. Areas examined during the inspection are
identified in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of interviews with
licensee personnel, as well as a review of select procedures and programs.
Based on the results of this inspection, the NRC has determined that a Severity Level IV
violation of NRC requirements occurred. The violation was associated with a failure to establish
measures to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis were correctly
translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. This finding had a cross-
cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because the design control
process did not establish requirements necessary for complete, accurate, and up-to-date design
documentation.
Because the violation was of very low safety significance, was non-repetitive, and was entered
into the corrective action program, this violation is being treated as a Non-Cited Violation (NCV),
consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The NCV is described in the
subject inspection report. If you contest the violation or significance of this NCV, you should
provide a response within 30 days of the date of this inspection report, with the basis for your
denial, to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington DC
20555-0001, with a copies to the Regional Administrator, Region III, the Director, Office of
Enforcement, United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001, and
the NRC Resident Inspector at the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Monticello Nuclear Generating Station
NRC Inspection Report 072-00058/2008-003(DNMS)
Preoperational Testing of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility Installation at Operating
Plants (60854.1)
The inspectors observed the licensees dry run activities utilizing the Transnuclear NUHOMS
61 BT cask and its storage system and activities associated with loading, transfer, and
storage of dry fuel as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and
regulations and with the conditions of the license.
The inspectors identified one violation of 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 72.146,
Design Control. Specifically, the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that
applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis were correctly translated into
specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions. This finding is being treated as a
Non-Cited Violation, consistent with section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The
finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because
the licensees design control process did not establish requirements necessary for complete,
accurate, and up-to-date design documentation. H.2(c) (Section 1.0)
Review of 10 CFR 72.212(b) Evaluations (60856)
The inspectors reviewed the licensees 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation and determined that it
was in compliance with conditions set forth in the Certificate of Compliance, Final Safety
Analysis Report, and 10 CFR Part 72 requirements in regards to the NUHOMS 61BT cask
system. (Section 2.0)

Preoperational Testing Of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Facility Installation
(ISFSI) at Operating Plants (60854.1)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors evaluated the licensees readiness to load spent fuel. The inspectors
observed the licensees dry run activities utilizing the Transnuclear NUHOMS 61 BT
cask and its storage system and activities associated with loading, transfer, and storage
of dry fuel as they relate to safety and compliance with the Commissions rules and
regulations and with the conditions of the license. The licensee faced several
challenges and the NRC identified several issues during the dry run inspection phase,
and these issues were subsequently resolved satisfactorily prior to loading spent fuel.
b.
Observations and Findings
Heavy Loads
The inspectors reviewed the licensees crane and heavy loads program with regards to
ISFSI operations. The inspectors reviewed topics associated with the reactor building
cranes hoisting system, wire rope, bridge and trolley, controls, crane inspection and
maintenance, load testing, limit switches, operation, and safe load paths. The inspection
consisted of documentation review, interviews with staff, and an inspection of the reactor
building crane.
The inspectors reviewed that the reactor building crane had been static loaded to
approximately 125 percent of the 105-ton maximum critical load on its main hook.
The inspectors verified that a nondestructive examination of the welds, whose
failure could result in the drop of a critical load, was performed following the 125 percent
cold-proof testing. After the 125 percent load test, the crane was given a full
performance test with approximately 100 percent of the maximum critical load attached.
The inspectors verified that the default minimum crane operating temperature was
defined as 70 degrees Fahrenheit in loading procedures. A 200 percent static load test
had been performed for each load-attaching hook. The hook load testing was followed
by a nondestructive examination and geometric measurements to verify the soundness
of fabrication and ensure integrity of the hook. All limiting and safety control devices
were tested.
The inspectors reviewed the cranes hoist brake system and observed the variable
frequency power control braking system and three holding brakes. Holding brakes
were tested to automatically apply the full holding position when power is off, and under
overspeed and overload conditions. The inspectors verified the cask height during
movement was sufficiently high to allow for engaging of the brakes during an
uncontrolled descent before the load would impact the floor and reviewed the licensees
procedure for emergency positioning of the crane and lowering the load.
The cranes reeving system consisted of two drums with quadruple reeving of four
wire ropes using sheave equalizers. The hoisting system had two mechanical load
switches installed in the equalizer sheave that were used to de-energize the hoist
drive motor and the main power supply under a load hang-up condition, but would still
Enclosure

allow a controlled lowering of the load. The Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant
(MNGP) reactor building crane employs a system of three independent upper travel limit
switches to prevent two-blocking (lower block coming in contact with the drum). The
inspectors also observed the lower limit switch and verified that a sufficient amount of
wraps around the drum were present at the lower limit. These devices de-energize the
hoist drive motor and the main power supply. The hoist drum was equipped with drum
capture plates put in place to limit drum drop during a shaft or bearing failure.
The inspectors reviewed the latest annual preventive maintenance program and crane
inspection. The annual inspection also replaces and installs recently calibrated
mechanical load switches used to prevent load hang-up. During ISFSI operations, the
MNGP crane was categorized as being under normal service. This categorization
required a frequent check on a monthly basis. The inspectors reviewed the cranes
daily inspection list.
The inspectors observed the licensee test electrical interlocks that permit only one
control station to be operated at a time. The inspectors reviewed the operators
qualifications; the licensee qualified the ISFSI crane operators based on a review of their
previous training, education, experience, and medical records. The inspectors observed
the emergency stop features in the cab, on the refuel floor and on the remote control
unit. The inspector reviewed the safe load paths defined for the movement of heavy
loads.
Dry Run Demonstrations
Inspectors observed the licensees NRC dry run activities in preparations to load fuel at
the MNGP August 18, 2008, through August 22, 2008. Additional operations, in
particular the welding demonstration by TriVis, were observed by inspectors prior to the
NRC dry run at the contractors facility in Pelham, Alabama and the inspection results are
documented in inspection report 072-00058/2008-002(DNMS). The licensee faced
challenges with several canisters received from the manufacturer, Transnuclear (TN),
due to fabrication tolerances, i.e., build-up of the specified fabrication tolerances resulted
in improper alignment of the outer top cover plate with the canister shell weld
preparation. Due to this misalignment, the weld configuration had to be modified from a
dual to a single bevel for the affected canisters. Transnuclear evaluated the issue and
concluded the affected DSCs could be placed into service without any additional repairs,
rework, testing, or weld demonstrations. The licensee documented this issue in the
corrective action program as Action Request (AR) 01144172.
The inspectors reviewed the loading and unloading procedures to ensure that they
contained commitments and requirements specified in the license, the Technical
Specifications, the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), and Title 10 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Part 72. The inspectors observed the licensees pre-job briefings.
The licensee conducted these meetings in a professional manner where the necessary
items to enhance safety were discussed. Radiation protection staff attended pre-job
briefs and gave insight into working conditions and As-Low-As-Is-Reasonably-
Achievable (ALARA) practices. The staff was interactive and questions were addressed,
as well as suggestions considered by supervisors to gain additional insight.
Enclosure

The inspectors observed licensee personnel perform a number of activities associated
with dry fuel storage to demonstrate their readiness to safely load spent fuel from the
spent fuel pool (SFP) into the dry cask storage system. The inspectors observed the
loading and unloading of dummy fuel bundles into the storage canister basket. The
licensee demonstrated removal of dummy fuel assemblies from the SFP storage racks,
placed them into the canister, and returned them from the canister to the SFP racks.
The licensee demonstrated alignment of the hold down ring and the shield plug.
The inspectors observed crane operation to ensure that heavy loads could be safely
lifted and transferred. Down ending of the transfer cask containing a storage canister
filled with dummy assemblies from the refueling floor to the transfer trailer was observed
as well as lifts from the transfer trailer to the refueling floor. Due to space limitations
during the down ending evolution, the licensee had to move the crane and transfer trailer
simultaneously to properly lower the transfer cask. The inspectors observed the
licensees response to overspeed trips of the trolley during the down ending due to the
trolley being positioned in front of the load without sufficient lowering. The licensee
determined that this occurred when the trolley control was returned to neutral, and the
trolley positioned itself above the load. As a contingency the licensee moved the
transfer trailer and main hoist to complete the demonstration. For future down ending,
the licensee decided to maximize the transfer trailer motion and minimize the trolley
motion, which proved to be successful. The licensee documented this issue in
The inspectors also observed a lift of the transfer cask out of the spent fuel pool and
onto the cask preparation area. Inspectors verified that lifts were performed in
accordance with appropriate industry standards and followed the designated safe haul
path.
Inspectors observed the installation of the transfer cask lid, as well as removal of the lid
at the Horizontal Storage Module (HSM). The inspectors observed the successful
transfer of the storage canister to the ISFSI. During the licensees internal
demonstrations for dry shielded canister (DSC) insertion and retraction from an HSM,
the DSC shell was damaged due to misalignment with the HSM. Canister DSC-001 was
sent to TN for repair prior to use for storage of spent fuel. During the NRC dry run
demonstration the inspectors observed both successful insertion and retraction of the
storage canister from the HSM. The licensee documented this issue in AR 01145084.
Proper controls were in place during the transfer of the canister from the reactor building
to the HSM on the ISFSI. These controls included health physics coverage, adherence
to the heavy haul path, and appropriate security oversight. The inspectors verified
adequate communication and team work between departments and adherence to
procedures.
Fuel Selection
The inspectors reviewed the licensees processes and methods associated with fuel
characterization and selection. The inspectors reviewed a completed fuel selection
package for the first cask to be loaded during the campaign to verify that the licensee
used the criteria specified in the Technical Specifications to verify the acceptability of
assemblies to be loaded in a cask. The inspectors observed the licensees methods to
independently verify and document fuel assemblies. The licensee did not plan to load
any damaged fuel assemblies during this campaign.
Enclosure

Radiation Protection
The inspectors evaluated the licensees radiation protection program pertaining to the
operation of the ISFSI. The inspectors reviewed the licensees procedures describing
the methods and techniques used when performing dose rate and surface contamination
surveys and verified that they ensured dose rate limits and surveillance requirements of
the Technical Specifications were met. The inspectors interviewed the licensees
personnel to verify their knowledge regarding the scope of the work and the radiological
hazards associated with transfer and storage of spent fuel.
Training
The inspectors reviewed the licensees training program which consisted of classroom
and on-the-job training to ensure involved staff was adequately trained for the job they
were responsible to perform. The licensees contractor prepared a dry fuel storage
qualification matrix which documented each workers training courses completed.
The inspectors reviewed the training material, including the content of the manuals.
Training material topics were consistent with TN Technical Specifications. The
inspectors independently verified satisfactory completion of training by applicable staff
by comparing training documentation in the contractors qualification matrix to the
licensees Learning Management System. The inspectors interviewed select individuals
who were responsible for performance of specific tasks during loading to evaluate their
knowledge regarding the campaign activities, the cask loading process, and use of the
equipment.
The inspectors reviewed training records of welders and other personnel who the
licensee authorized to perform the non-destructive examination inspections to ensure
that these individuals training was current.
Quality Assurance
The inspectors reviewed the licensees Quality Assurance program, as it applied to
the ISFSI. The inspectors also reviewed procedures pertaining to the receipt inspection
of dry shielded canisters, transfer trailer, transfers cask, and auxiliary equipment. The
inspectors observed that gauges were within their calibration date, and that the use of
99.999 percent pure helium was used during backfilling.
Emergency Preparedness and Fire Plan
The inspectors reviewed the licensees emergency preparedness plan required by
10 CFR Part 50.47 for conformance with 10 CFR 72.32(c). The inspectors verified
that the licensee incorporated Emergency Action Levels to the plant emergency plan
to address the possible emergency scenarios, their classification, and recovery actions
associated with the ISFSI. The inspectors interviews with staff revealed confusion
regarding protected area and plant protected area, which the licensee clarified with
staff and made enhancements to the definitions to clarify the two terms for their use in
EAL classifications. In response to this NRC-identified issue, the licensee initiated
Enclosure

The inspectors reviewed the licensees Fire Hazard Analysis (FHA) at the ISFSI for
compliance with the regulations in 10 CFR Part 72 and the Certificate of Compliance
(CoC). The inspectors identified inconsistencies in the evaluation regarding the
minimum separation distance for vehicles and addition of a control on transient
combustibles. In response to the NRC identified issues with the FHA, the licensee
initiated AR 01146176.
Structural Modifications and Associated Design Documentation
The inspectors reviewed plant design documentation, design calculations, safety
evaluations, and resultant structural modifications that demonstrated the fuel cask could
be safely placed into the SFP and loaded with spent fuel, lifted from the SFP and placed
on the designated laydown areas, transferred to the transport vehicle, and transported to
the ISFSI. The inspectors verified that the fuel cask loading, unloading, and transfer
activities met MNGP site specific commitments and requirements with respect to the
Specifically, the inspectors reviewed the licensees structural calculations associated
with the reactor building superstructure, the structural integrity of the Rail Car Shelter
(RS), Reactor Building cask laydown areas, and the spent fuel pool structure to support
the 105-ton cask load. The inspectors also reviewed the licensees structural calculation
associated with the buried utilities along the haul path to support the 105-ton cask load.
Lastly, the inspectors reviewed the licensees structural calculation associated with the
transfer cask hazard for a postulated RS collapse during a design basis tornado (DBT)
event.
The inspectors identified technical errors in Calculation CA-08-135, Transfer Cask
Hazard from Rail Car Shelter Collapse, Revision 0, which resulted in exceeding the
acceptance criteria of the calculation. In response to the NRC identified technical errors,
the licensee initiated AR 01149709. The licensee removed conservative assumptions in
the calculation, and revised Calculation CA-08-135, Transfer Cask Hazard from Rail
Car Shelter Collapse. Revision 1 of CA-08-135 was reviewed by the inspectors and no
technical issues were identified. Therefore, the NRC identified errors were determined
to be minor using Inspection Manual Chapter (IMC) 0612, Appendix E, Examples of
Minor Issues.
The inspectors identified a violation of 10 CFR 72.146, Design Control, involving the
licensees design control process performed for the RS for the ISFSI transfer operations.
Specifically, the inspectors identified a failure to assure and verify structural integrity of
the RS due to the effects of a DBT event in accordance with ISFSI licensing
requirements. This licensing issue was identified during review of calculation
CA-05-104, Design Adequacy of the Rail Car Shelter @ Elevations 935-0, for the
ISFSI Transfer Operations, which analyzed the RS for design basis loading conditions
associated with the ISFSI during transfer operations.
The inspectors reviewed calculation CA-05-104, which evaluated the RS structural
integrity to withstand a design basis earthquake to demonstrate no collapse onto the
transfer cask. This calculation provided the basis for storing the transfer cask in the RS
during ISFSI transfer operations The licensee was required by 10 CFR 72.92(a) to
identify the natural phenomena that could occur in the region and to assess their
potential effects on the safe operation of the ISFSI or Monitored Retrievable Storage
Enclosure
8
Installation (MRS). The important natural phenomena that affect the ISFSI or MRS
design must be identified. According to the Monticello Updated Safety Analysis Report,
Section 2.3.5, tornadoes were a natural phenomena that could occur at the Monticello
site. The licensee was further required by 10 CFR 72.122(b)(2)(i) to design its IFSFI
structures, systems, and components to withstand the effects of natural phenomena
such as earthquakes, tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches,
without impairing their capability to perform their intended design functions.
The inspectors noted that for the ISFSI transfer operation, as implemented, the licensee
failed to assure and verify the integrity of the fuel cask system for a potential collapse of
the RS during a DBT event. Specifically, since the licensee failed to evaluate the effects
of a DBT on the RS structure, the licensee did not demonstrate that a collapse of the RS
structure onto the fuel cask system during a DBT event would not have invalidated the
licensing basis requirement of the fuel cask system to withstand tornado effects (wind
force, missiles, and differential pressure) as described in Table 3.2-1 of NUH-003,
Revision 10, NUH003.0103, Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for the Standardized
NUHOMS Horizontal Modular Storage Systems for Irradiated Nuclear Fuel. In
response to this issue, the licensee initiated AR 01142790.
In response to AR 01142790, the licensee performed additional analysis that provided
reasonable assurance the integrity of the fuel cask system would be maintained during a
DBT event while inside the RS.
The inspectors noted that the licensees failure to evaluate the RS for the effects of a
DBT event warranted a significance evaluation. The inspectors determined the
performance deficiency was within the licensees ability to foresee and correct because
the error could have been identified during the independent review.
Because this issue was related to an ISFSI license, it was dispositioned using the
traditional enforcement process per Supplement I of the Enforcement Policy.
In accordance with Inspection IMC 0610, Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards
Inspection Reports, the inspectors determined that the deficiency was more than minor
in accordance with IMC 0610, Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards Inspection
Reports, Section 06, which references the use of IMC 0612, Power Reactor Inspection
Reports Appendix E. The deficiency was determined to be more than minor using
IMC 0612, Appendix E, Examples of Minor Issues, Example 3k, in that the design
package did not assure cask integrity during a DBT and additional calculations were
required to evaluate the effects of the DBT during transfer operations through the RS in
accordance with the ISFSI licensing/design basis analysis requirements.
The finding was determined to be a Severity Level IV Violation per Enforcement Policy,
Supplement I, example D.3, a failure to meet regulatory requirements that have more
than a minor safety or environmental significance. Specifically, Calculation CA-08-135,
Transfer Cask Hazard from Rail Car Shelter Collapse, when updated by Revision 1,
demonstrated that the integrity of the fuel cask system was in accordance with licensing
requirements even if a collapse of the RS were to occur during a design basis tornado
event.
Enclosure

This finding has a cross-cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources,
because the licensees design control process did not establish requirements necessary
for complete, accurate, and up-to-date design documentation. Specifically, the
appropriate ISFSI design and licensing basis requirements related to a DBT were not
established for all structures and components that could affect the transfer cask during
ISFSI transfer operations. H.2(c)
Title 10 CFR Part 72.146, Design Control, required, in part, that the licensee, applicant
for a license, certificate holder, and applicant for a CoC shall establish measures to
ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as specified in the
license or CoC application for those structures, systems, and components to which this
section applies, are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and
instructions. Further, it required that the design control measures must provide for
verifying or checking the adequacy of design by methods such as design reviews,
alternate or simplified calculation methods, or by a suitable testing program.
Title 10 CFR Part 72.92(a), Design Bases External Natural Events, requires, in part,
that natural phenomena that may exist or that can occur in the region of a proposed site
must be identified and assessed according to their potential on the safe operation of the
Title 10 CFR 72.122(b)(2)(i) requires that structures, systems, and components
important to safety must be designed to withstand the effects of natural phenomena
such as earthquakes, tornadoes, lightning, hurricanes, floods, tsunami, and seiches,
without impairing their capability to perform their intended design functions.
Contrary to the above, as of May 30, 2008, the licensee failed to establish measures to
ensure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as specified in the
license or CoC application for those structures, systems, and components to which this
section applies, were correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and
instructions. Specifically, the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that the
tornado design bases accident analyses were correctly translated into specifications,
drawings, procedures, and instructions. Licensee Calculation CA-05-104, Design
Adequacy of the Rail Car Shelter at Elevation 935-0 for the ISFSI Transfer Operations
did not evaluate the adequacy of the Rail Car Shelter, a structure important to safety, for
tornado conditions, an applicable regulatory requirement.
Because this violation was of very low safety significance, was non-repetitive, and was
entered into the corrective action program (AR 01157276), it is being treated as a
Non-Cited Violation (NCV), consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy
(NCV 07200058/2008-003-01).
c. Conclusion
The inspectors observed the licensees dry run activities utilizing the Transnuclear
NUHOMS 61 BT cask and its storage system and activities associated with loading,
transfer, and storage of dry fuel as they relate to safety and compliance with the
Commissions rules and regulations and with the conditions of the license.
The inspectors identified one violation of 10 CFR 72.146, Design Control. Specifically,
the licensee failed to establish measures to ensure that applicable regulatory
Enclosure

requirements and the design basis were correctly translated into specifications,
drawings, procedures, and instructions. This finding is being treated as an NCV,
consistent with Section VI.A of the NRC Enforcement Policy. The finding has a cross-
cutting aspect in the area of Human Performance, Resources, because the licensees
design control process did not establish requirements necessary for complete, accurate,
and up-to-date design documentation. H.2(c)

Review of 10 CFR 72.212(b) Evaluations (60856)
a. Inspection Scope
The inspectors reviewed the licensees 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation to determine its
acceptability and compliance with conditions set forth in the CoC, the FSAR, and
10 CFR Part 72 requirements in regards to the NUHOMS 61BT cask system.
b.
Observations and Findings
The inspectors reviewed portions of select documents referenced in the evaluation,
including but not limited to radiological evaluations, fire hazard analysis, quality
assurance topical report, records management procedure, and documentation of
subsurface profiles.
The inspectors identified needed enhancements and weaknesses in the level of
information in the evaluation. In particular, the inspectors determined that the licensee
needed to add specific language to their 10 CFR 72.212 response to 72.212(b)(2)(c) in
addressing 72.104(c) which requires that operational limits be established for radioactive
materials in effluents and direct radiation levels associated with the ISFSI. The
evaluation, in regard to satisfying 72.104(c), did not include Monticellos specific
approach to establishment of operational limits.
The licensee also needed to address how it would store all quality records in the
appropriate records management system. The inspectors noted that that the final record
location for many documents was not fixed, as many documents were not yet transferred
from a working location to the recognized records management system for each of the
documents. The team discussed this situation with the ISFSI Project representative and
indicated that all records should become resident in the proper system prior to loading
fuel. In response to the NRC identified issues, the licensee initiated AR 01145347 and
01146174.
c. Conclusion
The inspectors reviewed the licensees 10 CFR 72.212 evaluation and determined that it
was in compliance with conditions set forth in the CoC, the FSAR, and 10 CFR Part 72
requirements in regards to the NUHOMS 61BT cask system.
