ACTION: Notice of availability. AGENCY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allen Hansen, Thermal Engineer, Criticality, Shielding and Heat Transfer Section, Spent Fuel Project Office, Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20005– 0001. Telephone: (301) 415–1390; fax number: (301) 415–8555; e-mail: agh@nrc.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction Under contract with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory prepared a draft NUREG/CR report, ‘‘Spent Fuel Transportation Package Response to the Caldecott Tunnel Fire (CTF) Scenario.’’ Highway tunnel fire accidents are very low frequency events, but can be severe, in terms of fire duration and peak temperatures. The CTF was chosen for the study because it represents a severe historical highway tunnel accident, even though it is a very low frequency event. This NUREG/CR documents the thermal analysis of one spent fuel transportation package, the NAC International Model No. LWT (‘‘NAC LWT’’), exposed to boundary conditions simulating the CTF scenario. The results of this study strongly indicate that no spent nuclear fuel (SNF) particles or fission products would be released from the NAC LWT or a similar spent fuel shipping cask involved in a severe tunnel fire such as the Caldecott highway tunnel fire. The peak internal temperatures predicted for PO 00000 Frm 00100 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 the NAC LWT in the analysis of the CTF scenario were not high enough to result in rupture of the fuel cladding. Therefore, it would not be expected that any radioactive material (i.e, SNF particles or fission products) would be released from within the fuel rods. The maximum NAC LWT temperatures experienced in the regions of the lid, vent and drain ports exceeded the seals’ rated service temperatures, making it theoretically possible for a small release to occur, due to CRUD that might spall off of the surfaces of the fuel rods. However, any release is expected to be very small due to a number of factors. These include: (1) The tight clearances maintained between the lid and cask body by the lid closure bolts; (2) the low pressure differential between the cask interior and the outside; (3) the tendency of the small clearances to plug; and (4) the tendency of CRUD particles to settle or plate out. The potential releases calculated in Chapter 8 of this report for the NAC LWT truck cask indicate that the release of CRUD from the cask, if any, would be very small—less than an A2 quantity. II. Summary The purpose of this notice is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the Draft NUREG/CR thermal analysis, the consequence analyses and the conclusions. III.
