Abstract
The Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities (FSRP)
provides guidance to the staff of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
for reviewing applications for license approval or renewal for commercial
independent spent fuel storage installations (ISFSIs). An ISFSI may be
co-located with a reactor or may be away from a reactor site. These installations
may be designed for the storage of irradiated nuclear fuel and associated
radioactive materials.
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 10, Chapter 1, Part
72, Subpart B, specifies information required to be submitted in applications
for license approval and renewal for ISFSIs. Regulatory Guide (RG) 3.48,
"Standard Format and Content for the Safety Analysis Report for an
Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation" provides an outline
and specific guidance regarding the information to be included in an applicant's
safety analysis report (SAR). This standard review plan is intended to
ensure the quality and uniformity of the NRC staff reviews by establishing
the review scope and requirements.
The FSRP uses a basic outline defined by RG 3.48, modified based on staff
experience with SAR reviews. The modified outline will be used for the
related safety evaluation report (SER) prepared by the NRC staff in response
to the applicant's SAR. The FSRP includes regulatory requirements, staff
positions, references to applicable national and other industry standards
and codes, acceptance criteria, guidance on preparation of the SER, and
other guidance.
In conjunction with the FSRP, the Spent Fuel Project Office (SFPO) developed
several SFPO Director's Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) documents. These
ISGs were developed to address emerging issues for which interim guidance
was needed. Current ISGs are available on the NRC website. Although the
FSRP was revised to incorporate most of these ISGs, ISG guidance will
continue to be developed when required. The FSRP will be revised periodically
to reflect current guidance to the staff.
Comments are solicited on this document and applicable ISGs. The comments
will be considered and incorporated into updates to the FSRP, as appropriate.
Comments, errors or omissions, and suggestions for improvement should
be sent to the Director, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear
Material Safety and Safeguards, Mail Stop O-13D13, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission, Washington, D.C. 20555-0001.
