List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: FuelSolutionsTM Cask System Revision; Confirmation of Effective Date

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is confirming the effective date of January 28, 2002, for the direct final rule that appeared in the Federal Register of November 14, 2001 (66 FR 56982). This direct final rule amended the NRC's regulations by revising the BNFL Fuel Solutions (FuelSolutions<SUP>TM</SUP>) cask system listing within the "List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks" to include Amendment No. 2 to Certificate of Compliance (CoC) Number 1026. Amendment No. 2 modified the Technical Specifications (TS) to allow the W74 canister to be placed in the transfer cask instead of the spent fuel pool until the affected storage cask is repaired or replaced. The TS was also modified to clarify the description of the other non- fissile material permitted to be stored in the W74 canister and to revise the temperatures to correspond to the liner thermocouples. This document confirms the effective date.
