SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Northern States Power CompanyMinnesota, doing business as Xcel Energy (Xcel Energy, or the applicant) is the holder of Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR–22, which authorizes operation of the MNGP, Unit No. 1, in Wright County, Minnesota, pursuant to part 50 of title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities.’’ The license provides, among other things, that the facility is subject to all rules, regulations, and orders of the NRC now or hereafter in effect. Consistent with 10 CFR part 72, subpart K, ‘‘General License for Storage of Spent Fuel at Power Reactor Sites,’’ a general license is issued for the storage of spent fuel in an ISFSI at power reactor sites to persons authorized to possess or operate nuclear power reactors under 10 CFR part 50. The applicant is authorized to operate a nuclear power reactor under 10 CFR part 50, and holds a 10 CFR part 72 general license for storage of spent fuel at the MNGP ISFSI. Under the terms of the general license, the applicant stores spent fuel at its ISFSI using the TN Americas LLC Standardized NUHOMS® dry cask storage system in accordance with CoC No. 1004, Amendments No. 9 and No. 10. As part of the dry storage system, the DSC (of which the closure welds are an integral part) ensures that the dry storage system can meet the functions of criticality safety, confinement boundary, shielding, structural support, and heat transfer. II. Request/Action The applicant has requested an exemption from the requirements of 10 CFR 72.212(a)(2), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(3), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(5)(i), 10 CFR 72.212(b)(11), and 10 CFR 72.214 that require compliance with the terms, conditions, and specifications of CoC No. 1004, Amendment No. 10, for the Standardized NUHOMS® Horizontal Modular Storage System, to allow continued storage of DSCs 11–15 in their respective Horizontal Storage Modules (HSMs). This would permit the continued storage of those five DSCs for the service life of the canisters. Specifically, the exemption would relieve the applicant from meeting TS 1.2.5 of Attachment A of CoC No. 1004 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17338A114), E:\FR\FM\18SEN1.SGM 18SEN1
