Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Systems and Facilities

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing for public comment a draft NUREG, NUREG-2215, ``Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Systems and Facilities.'' This Standard Review Plan (SRP) provides guidance to the NRC staff for reviewing Safety Analysis Reports (SARs) for (1) a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for a dry storage system (DSS) for use at a general license facility, and (2) a specific license for a dry storage facility (DSF) that is either an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) or a monitored retrievable storage installation (MRS). This draft SRP will replace NUREG-1536, ``Standard Review Plan for Dry Cask Storage Systems,'' NUREG-1567, ``Standard Review Plan for Spent Fuel Dry Storage Facilities, and all Interim Staff Guidance (ISGs) that were used to enhance these NUREGs.
