SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) prepares draft Interim Staff 

Guidance (ISG) documents for spent 

fuel storage or transportation casks or 

radioactive materials transportation 

package designs. These ISG documents 

provide clarifying guidance to the NRC 

staff when reviewing licensee integrated 

safety analyses, license applications or 

amendment requests or other related 

licensing. The NRC is soliciting public 

comments on Draft ISG–22, ‘‘Potential 

Rod Splitting Due to Exposure to an 

Oxidizing Atmosphere During ShortTerm Cask Loading Operations in LWR 

or Other Uranium Oxide Based Fuel,’’

which will be considered in the final 

version or subsequent revisions. 

II. Summary 

The purpose of this notice is to 

provide the public an opportunity to 

review and comment on the Draft 

Interim Staff Guidance-22 concerning 

exposure of spent fuel to an oxidizing 

atmosphere during the air blowdown 

operation. Draft Interim Staff Guidance22, Revision 0, provides guidance to 

NRC staff on what documents should be 

reviewed and evaluated to ensure that 

sufficient controls are in place to 

prevent any part of the fuel rods from 

being exposed to an oxidizing 

atmosphere. 

III. Further Information 

Documents related to this action are 

available electronically at the NRC’s 

Electronic Reading Room at http://

Agencywide Documents Access and 

Management System (ADAMS), which
