Proposed regulation 10 CFR Part 72: storage of spent fuel in an independent spent fuel storage installation
The proposed new regulation specifies procedures and requirements for issuance of license to store spent fuel in an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) built specifically for this purpose, and not coupled with either a nuclear power plant or with a fuel reprocessing plant. Major features of this regulation are: (1) provides for issuance of a single license as early as is practical, (before the start of construction of any physical facilities involved); (2) allows that a single safety analysis report be submitted with the license application; (3) prevents the issuance of a license covering the storage of spent fuel in an ISFSI by Agreement States; and (4) disallows the permanent storage of disposal of spent fuel.
