Proposed revision 2 to regulatory guide 3. 44: Standard format and content for the safety analysis report for an independent spent fuel storage installation (water-basin type)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7051123

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has published a proposed Part 72, ''Licensing Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste.'' All references to Part 72 in this draft regulatory guide refer to this proposed version that was published for comment in the Federal Register on May 27, 1986 (51 FR 19106). The proposed Part 72 specifies the information to be supplied in applications for licenses to store spent fuel in an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI). However, Part 72 does not specify the format for the safety analysis report (SAR). This regulatory guide provides guidance on preparing an SAR, and the NRC staff suggests its use for presenting the required information. Chapters are devoted to site characteristics, principal design criteria installation design, operation systems, site-generated waste confinement and managment, radiation protection, accident analyses, conduct of operations, and operating controls and limits.
