Amendment No. 10 modifies the CoC to add two new dry shielded canisters (DSCs) designated the NUHOMS® -61BTH DSC and the NUHOMS® -32PTH1 DSC, add an alternate high-seismic option of the horizontal storage module (HSM) for storing the 32PTH1 DSC, allow storage of Westinghouse 15x15 partial length shield assemblies in the NUHOMS® -24PTH DSC, allow storage of control components in the NUHOMS® -32PT DSC, and add a new Technical Specification, which applies to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation sites located in a coastal marine environment, that any load bearing carbon steel component which is part of the HSM must contain at least 0.20 percent copper as an alloy addition. In the direct final rule, NRC stated that if no significant adverse comments were received, the direct final rule would become final on August 24, 2009. The NRC did not receive any comments on the direct final rule. Therefore, this rule will become effective as scheduled.
