1.0 General Description

1.1 Introduction

This Safety Evaluation Report (SER) documents the staff's review and evaluation
of the Topical Safety Analysis Report (TSAR) for CASTOR V/21 Cask Independent
Spent Fuel Storage Installation (Dry Storage) Revision 1, January 1985. (Ref. 1).
The TSAR was prepared by General Nuclear Systems, Inc., using the Reg. Guide 3.48
(Ref. 2) format, as applicable. This SER utilizes the format of Reg. Guide 3.
(CE-306-4) (Ref. 3) with some differences in the section numbering.

The staff's review of this TSAR addresses the handling, transfer and storage of spent
fuel in a CASTOR V/21 cask for an at-reactor site independent spent fuel storage
installation (ISFSI). Such storage in an ISFSI would be licensed under 10 CFR Part
72, "Licensing Requirements for the Storage of Spent Fuel in an Independent Spent
Fuel Storage Installation (ISFSI)." In this TSAR a single dry storage cask design,
the model CASTOR V/21 is presented. The term CASTOR is an acronym for Cast Iron
Cask Storage and Transport of Radioactive Materials.
