He also noted the area of peak seismic gror.rnd velocity and the! staffs ISG efforts. Regarding drift degiradation, he suggested that a future workshop under the ,auspices of the ACNW would be useful. Dr Clarke asked Mr. Brach to discuss when the TACP-based license applicatioru.; will arrnve at the Agency Mr. Brach responded that they will arrive at least by June 2008, according to DOE, which matches the expected date for the repository license application. The cornpetitton among {different vendors, howezver, may prompt the submissiol I of some of these applications earl~er than the DOE projection. It takes about 1 year to ritsview a transportation application and 2 years to review a storage application. An additional year may pass before a rrewly designed canister can be deployed. Consequently, the current slorage cask des~gnswill still be 111use for the next few years. Dr Welrier asked Mr. SracY.1 (I) how to address the Issue raised by many ut~litle~~sregardil~rlg the spent fuel already canstered ir~various dry storage cask designs, (2) whether r:me shoivld expect any cask design change related to the sihipping of high burnup fuel, (3) whether DOE has shipped training reactor and isotopes production, General Atomics (TRIGA:) sperit fuel w~th hydr~dle,and (4) whether anyone has looked at the condition of this fuel after trstnsportation~ Mr. Brac:h stated that, because of early design practices, a number of single-purpose (storage- only) casks are deployed at plant sites across the oountry In the last couple of years, preappkication meetings have taken place in which the vendors are assessing ulrays lo deskyn a transportation overpack that would sinable shipmleent ~:)fthese existing casks llnr~rithoutopenlng ttiem. The NRC will have to approve these pro~poseddesigns (both overpack and content) under Title 10, Part 71, "Packaging and Transportaltioi~of Radioactive Material," of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 71) Howevsr, lo date, the Aency has not iasued a I~cense certificate for these designs It is too early to conclude whether shipping of higlli burnup fluel will require changes in the cask des~gn The cask vendors would be better preparc~dto answer this question. The possible acoeptance by the regulatolr of moderator exclusion arwj burnup lcred~t should support the des~gnof transportetion casks for high burnup fuel. The staff is not aware of any postshipment examination of TRlGA spent fuel. DOE has indicated that it IS suk~rnitbngan application for a standardized canister to handls its fuell, including TRlGA fuel. In preapplication meetings, DOE has riot mentioned any known structural performance characte~~~~isticsIn fact, DOE has indicated that it will assume mll fuel to be rubelized (from the word "rulnle") under accident conditions. Consequently, it tieems as if x~opr'eknown fuel integrity informaYiori is being used Regard~ngGNEP, Dr. Ryan asked Mr Janosko whether he could provide any inl'orrnsrt~olrtcrrl the waste that will be generated, the qluantity that will be low- or high-level wad,e, and any need for an intermediate waste classification as adopted in other countries that conduct reprocessing. Mr Janosko responded that the answer depends on how GNEP evolves ;and which processes are decided, so NMSS will have to coordinate with FSME on handling the waste issues. This is definitely an aree the Committee will be interested in mcrriitoring. MINUTES 175"' ACNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14.2006 Mr. Crcrff asked Mr. Janosko whether the SILEX process raises unique technir:ial issues rre~li associated with the gaseous diffusion or centrifuge processes. Understanding that the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACRS) has thb lead on the MOX issue, Mr. Crof1 asked whether Mr. Janosko had information on the status of Ihe DOE effort, especially the disposal of the waste that will be generated. Mr. Janosko responded that because 01 the c',lass~Aedrrature of this subject, not much can currently be said on the topic. The SILEX process will enr~ich uraniurri~up to 5 percent, uslng uranium hexaflworitje in gas form, and multiple ~nachir~eswill be required. The MOX arena has not changed much A future ACNW meeting (possibly n joint meetinuj with ACRS) cxn this subject can be arrangstl. Dr. Hinre asked Mr. Kokajko a number of questior~s,sp~ecifically whether he had any ~rrs,lgtatInto the approach of the new TRA code to risk significance, the differences betweerr the aid and new TPA, the number of lSGs that are still expected, the date of their incorporrl~tioninto the YM review plan, and the date that the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses (CNWRA) wilt issue the airborne remobilization report. This information is important for the oornpleteness of the igneous activity white paper. Mr. Kokajko responded that the new TPA is still under development, so it would be premature to comment at this time. However, a briefing to thc ACNW on this subject can be planned for the @ndof 2007'. lSGs supplement areas in Has original review plan that required addiilllional clarific~atiorr.Other divisions of NMSS, such i$S SFST, trave successfully used this process. Spensding time formally revising the review plan will probably not be wise or applicable because the limnse application is st;hedulecl for subm~ssion in ,lune 2008.

RACER: TOOLS AND A PROCESS TO GUIDE DECISIONS ABOUT RISK REDUCTION FOR CONTAMIWANTS IN 'THE ENVIRONMENT (OPEN) [Mr. Derek Widmayer was the Designated Federal Dlfficial for this part of the rin~eeting]I Dr. John Tdl of Risk Assessment Corporation made a presentation on the Rlsk Anailysi:>, Communication, Evaluation, and Reduction (RACER) methodology, a r~sk-baseddeclsroir~ supporl tool that he developed for application at th~Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANI. 1, New Mexico, and that vicinity Ilr "rill explained the princ~plesuporl wh~chthe RACER methodology is based, including (11 1 the principle that all risks at a site need to be considered, vmcluding all risks from o1,)erationsas well as cleanup and risks from hazardous ss well as rad~oactivematerial and (2)tlii~? principle that a process has to be incorporated that alllows the publlic to understand the risks and prr~vicleadvice to decisionmakers. Dr. Till provided some baakgrnund and information on the databases used in RACER, the risk analysis tool and itis applications, and use of the decision sr~~pporltcxol to assist Iln prioritizing risks. The databa~escontain ~rnilliclmsof data points from LANL and from the State regulators who have collectsd separate samples over the years. Tha'b data range from 1956 to the present Dr. Till explained that the value of the methodology lies nrll providilig relativtt risk comparisons and not in calculating a precise dose estimation for a giver) scenario. MINUTES 175THACNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14,2006 Dr. Till then demoristrated the use of the RACER rncsthodology employing the cil~alabasea developed from sources of information, at LANL. The demonstrations showed !hat data could be plotted in several ways and could be shown distributed on maps for easier iunderstand~ng The results can be compared with a slandard if desired. The user can enter new information into the risk tool and then can run it again immediately to answer questions fronn the puk,lic withoul taking a lot of time, in this way, the tool can be used to aid communica'l~onat moet~ngs. One Committee member noted that thle greatest strength of RACER might be that rX can manipirlate so much erivironmental data In a short period of time. In response to questions, Dr. T111 noted that un,certainty was not factored into lhe RACER methodology currently, but thal it wou~ldbe included, probably in the decision .c311~pporttool1 The Cc~mmitteeagreed not to write a Yetter to the C:omrnission on RACER at the concluslcaun of this meeting.

NUCLEAR ENERGY INSTITUTE AND ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE VIEWS ON NRC INTERIM STAFF GUIDANCE MLWRS-ISG-01 QN SElOMlC EVENT SEQUENCES (OPEN) [Mr. Michael Lee was the Clesignalted Federal Official for this part of the meeting.] The NFiC issued HLWRS-ISGs-01In May 2006 as a draft for public conlrner1t.l This IS(; is intended to supplement the existing Yli~ccaMountairi Review Plan (YMRP), described ill NUREG-1804, "Y~~ccaMountain ReviceBFw Plan," issued July 2003. The purpose of the Y'MRP is to gude the staff's review of the DOE license application to construct a proposed geohoy~c repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada Specifically, HLWRS-ISG-01 provides additrcrnal guidance to the staff on a methodology for use in the review of seismically initiif3tedever11 sequerices to be rncluded In a preclosi~resafety analysis (PCSA). The YM-spr::cific reguWations in 10 CFR 63.1 12, "Requirements for Preclosure Safety Analysis of the Geologic Repos~lory Operations Area," describe the PCSA as a systematic examination of r~aturaland manrxiade hazards that might occur during reposantory operations.

Followrlr~gits public release of the OSG, the staff oonduc:ted a technical exchan(;l~erneetir~g in11 June 2006 with DOE representatives to discuss thler draft guidance. In September 2006, before flnalizir~gthe guidance, the staff conducted a sleparate public meeting with Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) and Electric Power Realearch Institute (EPRI) representatives tc, recelve the views cjf those stakeholder The NRC staff briefed the ACNW during its November :ZOCllj meeting on the scope of the guidanca and the history of its development, after the guidance was finali~ed.~During that bnefing, it was noted that the staff had received 23 comments from 5 different organizatiorls on the draft. The staff expressed the view that it respronded satisfactorily to all stakeholder technical commentr; ias part of the finalizat~onof the guidance, includirig those tec;h~nicalcomments from DOE, NEI, arid EPRI. Previously, bollth NEI and EPRI expressed concern that HL.WRS-ISG-[I1 placed rnore rigorous seismic design ~'equiramrcenlison DOE than would be applied to the desngn of a typ~oalnuclear power plant. Dur~~ngthe Novemtler 2006 ACNW bnefing, the WRC staff s~rggestedthat NEI and EPRI were r~ot~:orrectly interpreting the staff guidance. Representatives from these two stakeholders requesteldl the opportunity to brief the Corr~mitteeon Ihe scope of their organizations' concerrls NEI and EPRI representatrves briefed the ACNW on their views regarding HLVIIIRS-ISCr-0I Mr Rod McCullum of NEI and Mr. Ken Canavan of EPRI primarily conducted kllie brrefing, while Mr Greg Hardy and Dr. John Kessler, both from EPRI, also participated. In sLllrnmal-yl the invited speakers noted that therr respactive organizations have three continuin!] concerrlz:~ regarding the guidance outlined in HLWRS-ISG-0.1. First, they noted that the ~u~danceoultl~ned in HLWRS-ISG-01 places more rigorous seismic dssign requirements on DOE than wordd be applied to the design of a rruclear power plant. In part~cular,the stakeholders believed lhal the ISG would lead to an unintentional level of desigrl complexity requiring, for exa~mple,a selsmic fragility curve for each SSC important to safety Secorrd, they suggested that licensee:; generally consider NRC lSGs to bs dde facto regulations. Consequently, other i~iuclear regulatory applicaiions treat lSGs as regulations. Thew specific concern focused on Ithe possib~tltythat the staff would find it unacceptable if DOE used an approach tc~evaluate: repository csperatiorrs area thal could poten~trisllylead to exposure of ~ntl~~vwdualsIll:, radiation. 14n event sequence rncludes one or rnore initiating events ancl assoc~aieti combinations of repository syslern component tailures, including those produced by the action or inact~onof operating personnel.

The potential staff actions are rntendetd to address some of the staklrsholder rec;onrrmendations as well as reorsrit qusstronrs related to 10 CFR 61 "58,"Alternative Requirernen~trfor Waste Classification and Characteristics," alternative waste classification sr:henles; 10 CFR 20.2002, "hlrlethod t~~ar Obtaining Approval of Proposed Dlsplosal Pro@edl~res,"disposalexemption requests, and the 2006 (:ommission inquiry concerning the management of depleted uranium. 'Il'he poterrtiall staff act~onsIdentified would be ranked as "high," "mecliun?,"or "low." However, because of thtd continuing budget resolution for FY 2007 and early staff viability of the FY 20108 budgel passback from the ORice of Management and Budgel, Mr. Shaffner implied thal the! sctope of the Ccrrnmissron paper concerning potential staff actions as part of any strategic plann!ri[:j initiative in the colnmerc~alLL\N area might be Iseis anlbitious than first envisne~ned After h~spresentatior~, Mr Shaffner responded to questions and comrrlerrts frlcl~rrnthe: ,AC:NW members and staff. At times, Mr Ryan Whrted of the NRC staff assisled Mr. {Shaffner Iln Ilus resporrses.

Working Group Meeting of May 23-24, 2006," August 16, 2!(:)06. MINUTES 175THACNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14,2006 VII. CONCEPTUAL LICENSING PROCESS FOR GLOBAL NUCLEAR ENERGY PARTNERSHIP FACILITIES (OPEN) [Mr. John Flack was the Designated Federal Official for this part of the meetin~g.] Mr. Croff provided a briet ~ntroductionand overview ol ongoing ACNW activituts in the area of recycle Mr. Joseph Giitter from FCSS then briefly described GNEP and the role that the WRC plays by working closely with DOE as it proceeds with its plans to license GhlEP facilities Ms. Amy Snyder from FCSS explained the recent changes to the DOE approach for havmg NRC license recycle facilities that could have an impact on the pace of regulallory development. She described three facilities, specifically the Consolidated Fuel Treatment Cebnter (CFTC),the advanced burner reactor EABR), and the adva~ncedfuel cycle facility. Ms. Snylder ncrtecl that DOE plans to build the CFTC and AER in parallel and to colocate the facilitietsl if possible The CFTC is expected to be operational by 2018 and the ABR by 2020. The NRC could receive an application in the 2009 to 2010 timeframe. By June 24308, DOE hopes to haw a conceptual design,,an environmental impact statement, and a specific location to build the facilit~es. Ms. Srryder described the relationshrp between the various GNEP facilities arrtj the regulal~lons. She presented options for regulating two of th~eGNEFVacilities, the spent nuullear fuel reproc:essing facility and the ABR. Rsgulatory options for spent fuel reprocest;ing facilities rnclude using current regulations in 1Q CFR Part 50, "Domestic Licensing of P~rod~lctionar~d Utilizatron Facilities," or 10 CFR Part 52, "Early Sibe Permits; Standard Design Certif~catior~s; and Combined Licenses for Nuclear Rower Plants"; expanding 10 CFR Part 70,"Domestic: Licens~ngof Special Nuclear Material," to accommodate reprocessing facilities in addit~onto fuel fabrication facilities; or creating an entirely new regulation (10 CFR Part XX). For the ABR, regulatory options include uslng 10 CFR Part 50 or 10 CFR Part 52; employirrg the teclrnology- neutral framework currently under development as 10 CFR Part 53, "Reserved"; or ~:reart~ngan entirely new regulation (10 CFR Part 5x1. Another option for licensing either P;scility is to f~rsd issue a licensing-basis document, consider public corrrments, and then follow the comm~ent review by executing a Cornmission order that would allow the facility to operate, Ms Snyder noted that rulemaking could take as long as 5 years Mr. Stewart Magruder (FCSS) and Ms. Snyder descriltred the differences between reprocessing technologies. They summarized key technical and policy issues and challenges that included treating reprocessing facilities and the ABR as an integrated unit, handling plutonium~and actinides during fuel fabrication, and licensing the ABR within the current licensing framework. Understanding the technology and acquiring and maintaining staff skills were noted as significant factors that affect NRC readiness to limnse GNEP facilities The presentat~c~nr concluded with a summary of additional technical areas and regulations that will need tcn be considered during the development of the GNEP licensing framework. MINUTES 175THACNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14,2006; Questions and comrr'rents made after the presentatiolir included the following ILIr Hinze asked abc~utthe rrripact of GNEP on the body of waste going lo YM arid whether V'M licensing would need to change to accommodate the new waste frorn the GNEFL facilities. Mr Giitter indicated that DOE IS not redesigning YM because of GNEP, but he helieved that a new 10 CFR Part 63 would be ntteded if DOE proceeds Ms Snyder noted that ~fthe waste cap were lifted, there would be a policy issue on the quantity ot waste that could go to YM. Mr. Magruder Indicated that the GNEP goal 11sto only dis~lose of fission products In the reposatory. I'lr H~nzeasked how DOE considered the afaste forms from GNEP fac~l~t~es,iiincl IUr. Magruder indicated that at thlis point the hlRC can only remind DOE !hat waste torms need to be considered. However, DOE is interested in risk-informed choinges to l.he regulation that would consider the form of the waste rather than its origrrll when complying with the regulations a 1Er. Ryan commented that the waste issues drivtr the design and operailon of the1 process. Hie indicated that the Commission needs to svaluate the waste issue arrrl lo decide wthether a new category of waste management regulation is needed to address waste generated by GNEP. I.)r. Ryan asked whether the overalt pluton~uminventory would increase and whehlqer Ihe inventory is actually decreasing in France, which recycles to reduce the inventory of plutonium. Mr. Giitter indicated that ABRs would decrease the quant~tycrf plutonium, and Mr. Alex Murray from NMSS stated that a large-wale implementation of MOX fuel would result in a net decrease in plutonium. * Dr. Weiner commented that the NRC should capitalize on experience frm the F,ast Flux '1 est Facility at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington, and from experimental breeder reactors (EBRs) 1 and 2. Mr. Giitter agreed and noted that NMSS staff trad lusl returned from a site visit to EBR 2 and had identiflied valuable experience to consider. DOE agreed to work with the NRC on a knowledge management effort to capture this experieri~ceand k;r.lowledge base Dr. Weiner asked whether the staff had cooperated with other agencies regardrngl tho cnhemical risk associated with reprocessing, and Mr. Mag ruder indicated that a rx~emorandumof understanding is In place with the U.S. Occupational Health ard Safety Administration to share informat~onon this subject. * Dr. Clarke commented that DOE should Anlegrate its GNEP work with ntaiw corrarmsrc~al reactors and with YM activities, and that the TAD seemed at odds with GNEP Mr. Croff asked whether the NRC will license CFTC:, and Mr. Magruder n?spondecfltllat it would be a commercial operation and therefore Incensed by the NRC. MINUTES 17STHACNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14,2006 Ms. Snyder stated that. DOE will make a decision on the scope of research ar11r:l development for GWEP in June! 2008. Mr. Croff made a number of obs~irrvatlonsand asked where the NRC fits into 'the process regarding decis~onson the waste. Mr. Magruder observed that once DOE knows more about the design, it w~llwork with EPA and propose thresholds that the F4RC will work out with DOE. Existing limits are open for discussian. I':lr. Raymond Wymer, ACWW consultant, ~;ornmentedthat four differenl types uf processes are occurring within the UREX process, based on the different kinds r~t solvents, and that makes the UREX+la process more complicated tharr the PIJREX process. Ilr. John Larkrns, ACNW Execulive Director, cornmented that the previc.)us work c.lrr tRie I Xnch River project should be captured under NRC's ongoing "knowledgle management" rrSlltiative. In addition, the intention of DOE to start building the CFTC and ABR soorri after June 2008, while not subrrtitting the applicalion l~nt~l2009-2010, is backward. Ms. Sriyder tndicated that June 2008 is an important m~l@stonefor DOE, and Mr. Magruder niclteal that I2OE is not trying to bypass the licensing process. VIII. CLOSURE OF GENERIC SAFETY ISSUE 196: BORAL DEGRADATION (OPEN]I [Dr Dmwas the Designated Federal Official for this part of the meeting ] Mr Christopher Brown, ACNVV senior staff engineer, I~riefedthe Com~nilteeom boral, a rl~utron absorber material used for criticality control. In addition, Mr. Patrick Baronowky, Deputy Director, and Dr. Raji Tripathi, senior nuclear engineer, both from the RES Drulision of Operating Experiences and Risk Analysis, briefasd the Comrnittett about why Generic Safety Issue1 I96 (GSI-196), "8oral Degradation," should be ctosed out from the GSI list. Mr. Calvin Hopper, a representative from Oak Ridge National Laboratory (CIRNL), also supported tkre briefing RES c,ompleted a technical assessment of GSI-186 in accordance with Managemerit Llirective 6.4, "Generic Issues Program," and proposed closing out the issue. The objer;tive of GSI 196 was tcr determine the safetylcriticality implications of blistered'' boral in speni fuel dry (:ask storage systems in the event of water intrusion (e.g., :;ubmersion in a pool of water for repair or ~nspection).The RES approach was lo review the available literature to ~dentifywhether any operational experience, experimental data, or theoretical calculations indicate that blisiteretl boral would remain an effective neutron absorber material for licensed dry cask storage systems 10 A blister is a deformat~onlor7 the external surface of the aluminum claddirig rri the troral. It is generally caused by water ingress into the boral corelmatrix and nxidat~onof the aluminum. MINUTES 17ST%CNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14,2006 Mr. Brown provided the Committee wrth regulatory and technical background related to the use of boral for both storage and transportation casks for c:ommercial spent nucle~rfuel as well as conditions under which blisters have been reported to form. He specifically db;cussed (1) the applicable regulations in 10 CFR Part 72, "Licansrng Requirements for the Independent Storage of Spent Nuclear Fuel, High-Level Radioactive Waste, and Reactor-Related Oreater Than Class C Waste," (2) the fabrication process for boral, (3)the formation of blistsrs, and (4) cask vendor responses to blister formation on boral cawporls tested under simulated cask load~ng operations Mr. Brown discussed the regulat~onpertaining to cxiticality control for absorber rnaterrals used in casks As stated in 10 CFR 72.124, "Criteria for Nuclear Criticality Safety," rnr~terialsused for criticality functions shall be adequate for performance of intended functions. The staff has interpreted this regulation to mean that the material must be durable and effective as a neutron absorber. In addition, it must be able to perform its criticality function during tho servlce life of the licensed dry cask storage system Moreover, Mr. Brown explained how th43 boral is fabricated and provided the Committee with a brief overview of the physical and mechanic;ai properties as well as typical dimensions of boral plates used in service. The Committee heard a brief discussion on comsion of boral and the formation of steam and hydro~enbl~sters Hydrogen blisters are usually associated with spent fuel pools that use boral. Steam blisters are associated with spent fuel casks and could occur r~nderhigh hydrostatic p#.essuresll'and heatup rates. Most cask systems used in the Unitlsd Stated do not employ a sufficiently hlgh hydrostatic pressure and heatup rate to cause the onset of blisters. However, the bl~stering phenomenon was observed in Spain in the late 19190s as a result of high hydrrrstatic pressures and heatup rates during an acceptance test for a cask. Two U S. cask vendors and EPRl have observed in sinnulated tests of boral tl~~at,if tihe heating of boral during cask loading operations is at a slow speed, a rather slow water pressure 1s generated inside the boral, which does not suffer any structural damage. Such water (;an be easily diffused toward the outside through the alumina network, which introduced it If the heating is at a higher speed, as observed in Spain, an intolerable pressure is generated ~r~side the boral core, germinating the blister In conclusion, Mr. Brown reported that neutron atlenuation testing conducted try cask \/enl.lors and EPRl has shown that boral blisters dlo not reduce the neutron absorption properly crf a boral plate. Mr. Baronowsky and Dr. Tr~pathidiscussed the proces-s followed in evaluat~nylGSI- 19ti1 'lire process included (I) a screening analysis, (2) a review and endorsement by a panel to (address GSI-196, (3) acceptance of the panel recommendatioris by the director of RES, (4) development of a task action plan, and (5)a technical assessment. The staff focused its work on assessing the long-term criticality implications of blistered boral. Dr. Tripatht also noted 11 In most cask loading operations, there 11s ia hydrostatic test that can force waier 11ntothe pores of the boral plate MINUTES 17STHACNW MEETING DECEMBER 12-14,2006 that, after an independent review and assessmeril by ORNL, the staff decided tc, close oir~lli GSI-196 and seek ACNW endorsemeant before infornilng the NRC Executive Elirector fcrr Operations of its decision Mr. Hopper performed an ~ndepender~tassessmeiat of the safetylcriticality ~mpl~cat~orrsrat blistered boral for dry cask storage spent nuclear fuel. His assessment included a revlew of more than 65 documents, dating from 1949 to 2003 regarding fabrication, testrng, arid evaluation of boral or boral-like metallic bonded rn~terlal,for relevancy to GSI-196 The results of these tests showed an inconsequentia~lreduction in criticality safety for minlrnal loss ol neutron absorber B4Cwithin the alum~nummetal matrix. Mr. Hopper also modeled the neuiron absorption effectiveness of degraded boral, using conservative assumptions. The results of the modeling showed that a slow B4C-AI matrix ed~geoorrcusion rate in fresh water (i.e., 0.0009 inch per year surface corrosion rate) results iri minor loss of matrix and inconsequential ir~cleasesin the neu~tronmultiplication factor, k,,. The results were correlated to minor reductions iri rreutron efficacy attributable to a blister. Mr. Hopper conclwded the presentations by stating thalt blistered boral has no criticality implications in the corillext of dry cask storage 43f spent nuclear fuel during the licensed life (20-30 years) of the cask After the presentation, ACNW membsrs and attervdeers posed questioris and made corrrnnents concerning the quality assurancelquality control protot:ol, including the follownn~g * Fbrticipants raised concerns about the modal that ORNL used to evaWuate the rieutrowi~ efficacy, in particular, concerns about validation i3nd verification and how the model 1s applicable to the measured data from coupons twted. 7 hey discussed the degradat~or~sf boral (i.e., colrrosion and blistering) arid how th~e~rrodel used by ORNL accounts for the degradation mechanisms. A question was raised about whether the boron carbide particles in the bclral rlnatrix become dislodged because! chf blister formation Dr. Ryan asked whether a failure of boral, in a cask, had ever resulted in.1 a crit:ical~ity accident. The response was nck.. The meeting adjourned at 12:00 p.m. on Thursday, D~tcember14, 2006. NOTE.
