List of Approved Spent Fuel Storage Casks: FuelSolutionsTM
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is amending its regulations revising the BNG Fuel Solutions Corporation (FuelSolutionsTM) cask system listing within the ``List of approved spent fuel storage casks'' to include Amendment No. 4 to Certificate of Compliance Number 1026. Amendment No. 4 will change Technical Specification (TS) requirements related to periodic monitoring during storage operations. Specifically, the amendment will revise the TS to permit longer surveillance intervals for casks with heat loads lower than the design basis heat load and permit visual inspection of the cask vent screens or measurement of the cask liner temperature to satisfy the periodic monitoring requirements that govern general design criteria for spent fuel storage casks. TS 3.3.1 will be deleted to remove daily monitoring requirements. TS 3.3.2 will be revised for the W21 and W74 canisters to permit either visual inspection of vent screens or liner thermocouple temperature monitoring. Also, TS 5.3.8 will add a section to the Periodic Monitoring Program which establishes intervals for periodic monitoring that are less than the time required to reach the limiting short-term temperature limit. This program will establish administrative controls and procedures to assure that the licensee will be able to determine when corrective action is required. In addition, the amendment will update editorial changes associated with the company name change from BNFL Fuel Solutions Corporation to BNG Fuel Solutions Corporation and make other administrative changes.

Aging Aircraft Program: Widespread Fatigue Damage
This action is intended to prevent widespread fatigue damage by proposing to require that design approval holders establish operational limits on transport category airplanes. Design approval holders would also be required to determine if maintenance actions are needed to prevent widespread fatigue damage before an airplane reaches its operational limit. Operators of any affected airplane would be required to incorporate the operational limit and any necessary service information into their maintenance programs. Operation of an affected airplane beyond the operational limit would be prohibited, unless an operator has incorporated an extended operational limit and any necessary service information into its maintenance program.
