NRC ORDER – ORDER

On November 17, 2020, the NRC issued a Confirmatory Order (CO) to Arizona Public Service Company (APS) memorializing commitments reached during an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mediation session held on September 16, 2020. The ADR session was associated with apparent violations that involved APS Company’s failure to (1) perform a written evaluation for a change to the NAC MAGNASTOR® dry cask storage system and obtain a license amendment for a change in methodology for performing tip-over calculations; and (2) adequately analyze the consequences of a hypothetical MANGASTOR CC5 spent fuel cask tip-over accident on the independent spent fuel storage installation pad. As a result of the confirmatory order, the NRC will not cite the apparent violations. As a result of the CO, the NRC will not cite the apparent violations.
