Summary

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is proposing to amend its spent fuel storage regulations by revising the NAC International Multi-Purpose Canister (NAC-MPC) Storage System listing within the "List of approved spent fuel storage casks" to include Amendment Nos. 7 and 8 to Certificate of Compliance No. 1025. Amendment No. 7 would revise the technical specifications to eliminate the requirements for the heat removal system to be operable for La Crosse Boiling Water Reactor spent fuel stored in the NAC-MPC because convective cooling is not required, and to eliminate duplicative requirements. In addition, Amendment No. 8 removes duplicative surveillance requirements in the technical specifications because these requirements are already required by the revised Technical Specification A 3.1.6, "CONCRETE CASK Heat Removal System."

The agency’s own summary, as published.
