On August 9, 2018 (83 FR 39475) the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued for public comment a draft NUREG, NUREG-2224, “Dry Storage and Transportation of High Burnup Spent Nuclear Fuel.” The draft NUREG provides technical background information applicable to high burnup spent nuclear fuel (HBU SNF), provides an engineering assessment of recent NRC-sponsored mechanical testing of HBU SNF, and proposes example approaches for licensing and certification of HBU SNF in transportation and dry storage. Submit comments on the draft NUREG-2224 by September 24, 2018. Comments received after this date will be considered if it is practical to do so, but the NRC is able to ensure consideration only for comments received on or before this date.
