Amendment No. 10 will modify the cask design to add a dry shielded canister (DSC) designated the NUHOMS[supreg]-61BTH DSC, add a dry shielded canister designated the NUHOMS[supreg]-32PTH1 DSC, add an alternate high-seismic option of the horizontal storage module (HSM) for storing the 32PTH1 DSC, allow storage of Westinghouse 15X15 Partial Length Shield Assemblies in the NUHOMS[supreg]-24PTH DSC, allow storage of control components in the NUHOMS[supreg]-32PT DSC, and add a new Technical Specification, which applies to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation sites located in a coastal marine environment, that any load bearing carbon steel component which is part of the HSM must contain at least 0.20 percent copper as an alloy addition.
