Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant
Units 1 and 2
Independent Spent Fuel Storage
Installation
I. Background
Constellation Energy Generation, LLC
(Constellation) is the holder of Renewed
Facility Operating License Nos. DPR–53
and DPR–69, which authorize operation
of the Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant
(CCNPP), Units 1 and 2, in Lusby,
Maryland, pursuant to part 50 of title 10
of the Code of Federal Regulations (10
CFR), ‘‘Domestic Licensing of
Production and Utilization Facilities.’’
The licenses provide, among other
things, that the facility is subject to all
rules, regulations, and orders of the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (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 Independent Spent
Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI) at
power reactor sites to persons
authorized to possess or operate nuclear
PO 00000
Frm 00120

power reactors under 10 CFR part 50.
Constellation is authorized to operate
nuclear power reactors under 10 CFR
part 50 and holds a 10 CFR part 72
general license for storage of spent fuel
at the CCNPP ISFSI. Under the terms of
the general license, Constellation stores
spent fuel at its CCNPP ISFSI using the
HI–STORM Flood/Wind (FW) MultiPurpose Canister (MPC) Storage System
in accordance with Certificate of
Compliance (CoC) No. 1032,
Amendment No. 1, Revision No. 1.
II. Request/Action
By a letter dated March 22, 2024
(Agencywide Documents Access and
Management System [ADAMS]
Accession No. ML24082A008),
Constellation requested an exemption
from the requirements of 10 CFR
72.212(a)(2), 72.212(b)(3),
72.212(b)(5)(i), 72.212(b)(11), and
72.214 that require CCNPP to comply
with the terms, conditions, and
specifications of the CoC No. 1032,
Amendment No. 1, Revision No. 1
(ML15152A358). If approved,
Constellation’s exemption request
would accordingly allow CCNPP to
maintain nine loaded and to load six
MPCs with continuous basket shims
(CBS) (i.e., MPC–37–CBS) in the HI–
STORM FW MPC Storage System, and
thus, to maintain and load the systems
in a storage condition where the terms,
conditions, and specifications in the
CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 1,
Revision No. 1, are not met.
Constellation currently uses the HI–
STORM FW MPC Storage System under
CoC No. 1032, Amendment No. 1,
Revision No. 1, for dry storage of spent
nuclear fuel in MPC–37 at the CCNPP
ISFSI. Holtec International (Holtec), the
designer and manufacturer of the HI–
STORM FW MPC Storage System,
developed a variant of the design with
CBS for the MPC–37, known as MPC–
37–CBS. Holtec performed a nonmechanistic tip-over analysis with
favorable results and implemented the
CBS variant design under the provisions
of 10 CFR 72.48, ‘‘Changes, tests, and
experiments,’’ which allows licensees to
make changes to cask designs without a
CoC amendment under certain
conditions (listed in 10 CFR 72.48(c)).
After evaluating the specific changes to
the cask designs, the NRC determined
that Holtec erred when it implemented
the CBS variant design under 10 CFR
72.48, as this is not the type of change
allowed without a CoC amendment. For
this reason, the NRC issued three
Severity Level IV violations to Holtec
(ML24016A190).
Prior to the issuance of the violations,
Constellation had loaded nine MPC–37–
