Amendment No. 3 revises the technical specifications to: Include multipurpose canister (MPC)-32 for storage of pressurized-water reactor spent fuel in the Holtec International HI-STAR 100 Storage System; include the Metamic neutron absorber for MPC-32, MPC-24, and MPC-68; credit the soluble boron in criticality analyses for both MPC-32 and MPC-24; incorporate standard system features and ancillaries such as the forced helium dehydration; allow for horizontal storage of the casks; provide updated drawings; and revise the MPC design pressure for accident condition to 200 pounds per square inch gauge. Amendment No. 3 also makes other administrative changes to the technical specifications.
