Standard format and content for a topical safety analysis report for a dry spent fuel storage cask
This draft regulatory guide provides guidance on the format and content of a Topical Safety Analysis Report (TSAR) for a spent fuel storage cask. There is no regulation that requires the submittal of a TSAR for spent fuel storage casks. However, is a specific cask were approved by the NRC for storage of spent fuel, the TSAR on that cask could be referenced other safety analyses. Applicants for license under Part 72 could use this information in their SAR. This would greatly reduce the cost and effort of developing an SAR. Casks used for storage of spent fuel on a reactor site could be those used for shipping spent fuel or could be those designed for storage only. Casks used for shipping must be licensed under 10 CFR Part 71, ''Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material,'' which requires stringent quality assurance and cask testing. Casks used for shipping or for storae only sould be approved by the NRC if their safety is demonstrated.
