Virginia Electric and Power Company; North Anna Power Station Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation

Краткое содержание

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) reviewed an application by Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion) for an amendment to License No. SNM-2507 in the form of changes to the Technical Specifications (TS). Under this license, Dominion is authorized to receive, possess, store, and transfer spent nuclear fuel and associated radioactive materials at the North Anna Power Station (NAPS) Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI). Dominion requested approval of the TS changes to allow storage of spent fuel in a modified TN-32B bolted lid cask as part of the High Burn-up Dry Storage Cask Research and Development Project sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the Electric Power Research Institute. Data gathered from the cask will be used to confirm the effects of long-term dry storage on high burn-up assemblies.
