identifying or contact information. 

If you are requesting or aggregating 

comments from other persons for 

submission to the NRC, then you should 

inform those persons not to include 

identifying or contact information that 

they do not want to be publicly 

disclosed in their comment submission. 

Your request should state that the NRC

II. Background 

The NRC is issuing this draft RIS to 

inform addressees of considerations for 

licensing HBF in dry storage and 

transportation. When evaluating HBF 

dry storage and transportation 

applications, the effects of radial 

hydrides and creep strain on the 

cladding must be taken into 

consideration. The purpose of this RIS 

is to provide information on some 

approaches acceptable to the NRC for 

demonstrating compliance with 

regulations in applications for issuance 

of dry storage cask CoCs, ISFSI licenses, 

and CoCs for transportation packages 

involving HBF. 

The NRC issues RISs to communicate 

with stakeholders on a broad range of 

matters. This may include 

communicating staff technical positions 

on matters that have not been 

communicated to or are not broadly 

understood by the nuclear industry; 

such is the case with this RIS. 

Proposed Action 

The NRC is requesting public 

comments on the draft RIS. The NRC 

staff will make a final determination 

regarding issuance of the RIS after it 

considers any public comments 

received in response to this request. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day 

of February 2015.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION 

[NRC–2014–0273] 

Impact of Variation in Environmental 

Conditions on the Thermal 

Performance of Dry Storage Casks 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: Draft NUREG; request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is issuing for public 

comment a draft NUREG, NUREG–2174, 

‘‘Impact of Variation in Environmental 

Conditions on the Thermal Performance 

of Dry Storage Casks.’’ This report 

evaluates spent fuel dry storage cask 

thermal impact of varying 

environmental conditions and transient 

thermal behavior when subjected to a 

sudden boundary condition change. 

Different cask designs are evaluated 

(vertical underground, vertical 

aboveground, and horizontal 

aboveground). The NRC staff will 

consider the analysis results in this 

report when performing technical 

reviews, applicants should consider 

them when applying for cask 

certification. These results can be used 

as additional guidance when 

considering the thermal impact of the 

environmental factors in the thermal 

performance of dry storage systems. 

DATES: Submit comments by May 4, 

2015. 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 before this date. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

by any of the following methods (unless 

this document describes a different 

method for submitting comments on a 

specific subject):

II. Discussion 

The NRC is issuing Draft ‘‘Impact of 

Variation in Environmental Conditions 

on the Thermal Performance of Dry 

Storage Casks.’’ The draft NUREG–2174 

report evaluates the thermal impact of 

varying environmental conditions and 

transient thermal behavior when 

subjected to a sudden boundary 

condition change in spent fuel dry 

storage casks. Different cask designs are 

evaluated in the draft NUREG report. 

The NRC will consider the analysis 

results in the report when performing 

technical reviews, therefore applicants 

should consider them when applying 

for cask certification. The analysis 

results in draft NUREG–2174 can be 

used as additional guidance when 

considering the thermal impact of the 

environmental factors in the thermal 

performance of dry storage systems. 

The purpose of this notice is to 

provide the public with an opportunity 

to review and provide comments on 

Draft NUREG–2174, ‘‘Impact of 

Variation in Environmental Conditions 

on the Thermal Performance of Dry 

Storage Casks.’’ Any comments received 

will be considered in the final version 

or subsequent revisions of the draft 

NUREG.
