ensee must submit this plan prior to or within two years following permanent cessation of operations and before starting to decommission SSCs needed for moving, unloading, and shipping the spent fuel. The IFMP must include information on how the licensee intends to manage spent fuel, and the IFMP must be approved by the NRC before the licensee starts to decommission the SSCs needed for moving, unloading, and shipping the spent fuel (e.g., the SFP; fuel handling building; or fuel or cask handling systems, including cranes or lifting equipment). The purpose of the plan, in part, is to show what physical infrastructure or capabilities are needed for safely managing spent fuel at the site and to describe how the infrastructure or capabilities will be maintained for the duration of expected spent fuel storage operations. The IFMP should discuss where the spent fuel will be stored (i.e., whether in a wet or dry storage mode). If the licensee has placed or will place the spent fuel in dry storage at a specific license or general license ISFSI under 10 CFR Part 72, the IFMP should summarize the design of the ISFSI and the dry storage system that is, or will be, used to store spent fuel. The IFMP may reference design-basis documents for the ISFSI or dry storage system (e.g., the updated final safety analysis report for a specific license ISFSI or certificate of compliance (CoC) for the applicable dry storage system design). The IFMP should specifically include information on which SSCs the facility relies for spent fuel management during decommissioning, including SSCs needed for the following activities: DG-1347 Revision 1, Page 13 a. ready retrieval of spent fuel, consistent with the requirements in 10 CFR 72.122(l) a. compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements for spent fuel storage and compliance with the ISFSI license or CoC conditions or technical specifications that involve moving or unloading a spent fuel storage system, including required actions related
