List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: TN-32 Revision, Confirmation of Effective Date

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of February 20, 2001, for the direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of December 5, 2000 (65 FR 75853). Amendment No. 1 to the Transnuclear, Inc., TN-32 Certificate of Compliance (CoC) includes the addition of the B&W/FCF 17 x 17 Mark BW assembly to the Technical Specification for "Fuel to be stored in the Trans TN-32 Cask," with revised bounding characteristics, and (2) a revised TS for "Site Specific Parameters and Analysis," to allow analysis of verification of allowable seismic loads. This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations to allow holders of power reactor operating licenses to store spent fuel in the cask under the revised conditions. This document confirms the effective date.
