HI–STORM 100 system is rated also to 

store high burnup fuel. As a result, 

MPC–24–060 has a large thermal 

margin. Therefore, based on the NRC 

staff’s review of Holtec’s evaluation and 

technical justification, the staff 

concludes that MPC–24–060 (loaded 

with the contents described in the ANO 

exemption request letter) inside the HI– 

STORM 100 system will meet the 10 

CFR part 72 thermal requirements. 

Based on its review, the NRC staff has 

reasonable assurance that Entergy’s 

exemption request for an MPC loaded 

with fuel assemblies classified as having 

defects greater than pinhole leaks and 

hairline cracks will meet the thermal, 

structural, criticality, retrievability and 

radiation protection requirements of 10 

CFR part 72 and the offsite dose limits 

of 10 CFR part 20. Therefore, the NRC 

staff concludes that the exemption to 

allow the licensee to store MPC–24–060 

in its as-loaded configuration will not 

endanger life or property or the common 

defense and security. 

Otherwise in the Public Interest 

The information Entergy submitted 

with its exemption request, and the 

Holtec analyses documented in Holtec 

Report No. HI–2146265, ‘‘Justification 

for ANO Exemption Request for Loading 

of Damaged Fuel in MPC–24,’’ Rev. 0, 

demonstrates that the as-loaded MPC is 

not compromised due to the misloaded 

fuel (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14279A246). If the NRC did not grant 

this exemption, Entergy would need to 

take action to correct the condition by 

reloading the affected MPC to be in 

compliance with CoC No. 1014, 

Amendment No. 5. This would involve 

unloading the spent fuel assemblies 

from the MPC, performing inspections 

of various MPC components, loading 

different spent fuel assemblies into the 

used MPC or a new MPC (if there was 

damage noted on the used MPC) in 

accordance with CoC No. 1014, 

Amendment No. 5 and performing the 

MPC closing procedures. 

The licensee estimates that unloading 

and reloading the MPC would increase 

personnel exposures by 600 mRem. In 

addition, the licensee states that 

unloading and reloading would generate 

radioactive contaminated material and 

waste not only during unloading and 

reloading operations, but also from 

disposal of the used MPC (if the MPC 

were damaged during the unloading 

process). The licensee estimates this 

action would cost an estimated 

$300,000 for unloading and reloading 

operations. If the MPC was damaged 

during unloading, the licensee estimates 

an additional $750,000 for purchase of 

a new MPC and $200,000 for disposal of 

the used MPC. The licensee also states 

additional opportunities for design basis 

accidents, such as a fuel handling 

accident, would be introduced if the 

MPC were unloaded and reloaded. 

Because the corrective action would 

result in increased radiation exposure to 

personnel and provides increased 

opportunities for fuel handling 

accidents which could result in 

radioactive material releases to the 

environment, granting the exemption, 

and allowing MPC–24–060 to remain in 

its as-loaded condition, is consistent 

with the NRC’s mission to protect 

public health and safety. Therefore, the 

exemption is in the public interest. 

Environmental Consideration 

The NRC staff also considered in the 

review of this exemption request 

whether there would be any significant 

environmental impacts associated with 

the exemption. For this proposed action, 

the NRC staff performed an 

environmental assessment pursuant to 

10 CFR 51.30. The proposed action is 

the approval of an exemption from the 

requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 10 

CFR 72.212(b)(3), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i), 

and the portion of 72.212(b)(11) that 

requires compliance with the terms, 

conditions, and specifications of a CoC, 

and 10 CFR 72.214, but only to the 

extent necessary to allow Entergy to 

store MPC–24–060 in its current asloaded configuration at the ANO ISFSI. 

The NRC staff performed an 

environmental assessment and 

determined that the proposed action 

will not significantly impact the quality 

of the human environment. The NRC 

staff concludes that there are no changes 

being made in the types or amounts of 

any radiological effluents that may be 

released offsite, and there is no 

significant increase in occupational or 

public radiation exposure as a result of 

the proposed action. In addition, the 

proposed action only affects the 

requirements associated with the fuel 

assemblies already loaded into the 

canister and does not affect nonradiological plant effluents, or any other 

aspects of the environment. The 

Environmental Assessment and the 

Finding of No Significant Impact were 

published in the Federal Register on 

December 19, 2014 (79 FR 75843). 

IV. Conclusion 

Based on the foregoing 

considerations, the NRC has determined 

pursuant to 10 CFR 72.7, that the 

exemption is authorized by law, will not 

endanger life or property or the common 

defense and security, and is otherwise 

in the public interest. Therefore, the 

NRC grants Entergy a one-time 

exemption from the requirements in 10 

CFR 72.212(a)(2), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(3), 

10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i), and the portion 

of 10 CFR 72.212(b)(11) that requires 

compliance with the terms, conditions, 

and specifications of a CoC, and 10 CFR 

72.214 for storage of HI–STORM 100 

MPC–24–060 at the ANO ISFSI. 

This exemption is effective upon 

issuance.
