II. Discussion
The draft report documents a
consequence study that continues the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s
examination of the risks and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 229001
consequences of postulated spent fuel
pool accidents. The purpose of this
study is to examine if faster removal of
spent reactor fuel from pools to dry cask
storage significantly reduces risks to
public health and safety. Based on
previous research showing earthquakes
present the dominant risk for spent fuel
pools, the draft study evaluated how a
potential pool leakage from an unlikely
severe earthquake might cause the used
fuel to overheat and release radioactive
material to the environment. A spent
fuel pool’s robust concrete structure and
stainless steel liner keep more than 20
feet of water above the spent fuel stored
within it ensuring ample cooling for the
spent fuel and adequate radiation
shielding for plant personnel. This
study compared potential accident
consequences from a pool nearly filled
with spent fuel and a pool in which fuel
that has cooled sufficiently has been
removed at a selected U.S. Mark I
boiling-water reactor spent fuel pool.
The staff first evaluated whether a
severe, though unlikely, earthquake
would damage the spent fuel pool to the
point of leaking. In order to assess the
consequences that might result from a
spent fuel pool leak, the study assumed
seismic forces greater than the
maximum earthquake reasonably
expected to occur at the reference plant
location. The NRC expects that the
ground motion used in this study is
more challenging for the spent fuel pool
structure than that experienced at the
Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant
from the earthquake that occurred off
the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011.
That earthquake did not result in any
spent fuel pool leaks. In the small
likelihood that such an extreme
earthquake caused a leak, the staff then
analyzed how the spent fuel could
overheat and potentially release
radioactive material into the
environment. Finally, the staff analyzed
what the public health and
environmental effects of a radiological
release would be in the area
surrounding the plant.
This draft study’s results for the
specific reference plant and earthquake
analyzed are consistent with past
studies’ conclusions that spent fuel
pools are likely to withstand severe
earthquakes without leaking. The draft
study shows the likelihood of a
radiological release from the spent fuel
after the analyzed severe earthquake at
the reference plant to be very low. The
regulatory analysis for this study
indicates that expediting movement of
spent fuel from the pool does not
provide a substantial safety
enhancement for the reference plant.
The NRC will use this study in a

broader regulatory analysis of the spent
fuel pools at all U.S. operating nuclear
reactors as part of its Japan LessonsLearned activities. The NRC continues
to believe, based on this study and
previous studies that spent fuel pools
provide adequate protection of public
health and safety.

ADDRESSES:
I. Introduction
II. Notice of Filing
III. Ordering Paragraphs
I. Introduction
In accordance with 39 U.S.C. 3642
and 39 CFR 3020.30 et seq., the Postal
Service filed a request and associated
supporting information to add Priority
Mail Contract 60 to the competitive
product list.1 It asserts that Priority Mail
Contract 60 is a competitive product
‘‘not of general applicability’’ within the
meaning of 39 U.S.C. 3632(b)(3).
Request at 1. The Request has been
assigned Docket No. MC2013–54. The
Postal Service contemporaneously filed
a redacted contract related to the
proposed new product under 39 U.S.C.
3632(b)(3) and 39 CFR 3015.5. Id.
Attachment B. The instant contract has
been assigned Docket No. CP2013–70.
Request. To support its Request, the
Postal Service filed six attachments as
follows:
• Attachment A—a redacted copy of
Governors’ Decision No. 11–6,
authorizing the new product;
• Attachment B—a redacted copy of
the contract;
• Attachment C—proposed changes
to the Mail Classification Schedule
competitive product list with the
addition underlined;
• Attachment D—a Statement of
Supporting Justification as required by
39 CFR 3020.32;
• Attachment E—a certification of
compliance with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a); and
1 Request of the United States Postal Service to
Add Priority Mail Contract 60 to Competitive
Product List and Notice of Filing (Under Seal) of
Unredacted Governors’ Decision, Contract, and
Supporting Data, June 25, 2013 (Request).

• Attachment F—an application for
non-public treatment of materials to
maintain redacted portions of the
contract and related financial
information under seal.
In the Statement of Supporting
Justification, Dennis R. Nicoski,
Manager, Field Sales Strategy and
Contracts, asserts that the contract will
cover its attributable costs and increase
contribution toward the requisite 5.5
percent of the Postal Service’s total
institutional costs. Id. Attachment D at
1. Mr. Nicoski contends that there will
be no issue of market dominant
products subsidizing competitive
products as a result of this contract. Id.
Related contract. The Postal Service
included a redacted version of the
related contract with the Request. Id.
Attachment B. The contract is
scheduled to become effective one
business day after the Commission
issues all necessary regulatory approval.
Id. at 3. The contract will expire 3 years
from the effective date unless, among
other things, either party terminates the
agreement upon 30 days’ written notice
to the other party. Id. The contract also
allows two 90-day extensions of the
agreement if the preparation of a
successor agreement is active and the
Commission is notified. Id. The Postal
Service represents that the contract is
consistent with 39 U.S.C. 3633(a). Id.
Attachment E.
The Postal Service filed much of the
supporting materials, including the
related contract, under seal. Id.
Attachment F. It maintains that the
redacted portions of the Governors’
Decision, contract, customer-identifying
information, and related financial
information should remain confidential.
Id. at 3. This information includes the
price structure, underlying costs and
assumptions, pricing formulas,
information relevant to the customer’s
mailing profile, and cost coverage
projections. Id. The Postal Service asks
the Commission to protect customeridentifying information from public
disclosure indefinitely. Id. at 7.
II. Notice of Filings
The Commission establishes Docket
Nos. MC2013–54 and CP2013–70 to
consider the Request pertaining to the
proposed Priority Mail Contract 60
product and the related contract,
respectively.
Interested persons may submit
comments on whether the Postal
Service’s filings in the captioned
dockets are consistent with the policies
of 39 U.S.C. 3632, 3633, or 3642, 39 CFR
3015.5, and 39 CFR part 3020, subpart
B. Comments are due no later than July
5, 2013. The public portions of these
