Abstract
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued a one-time exemption to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), permitting Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant (BFN) to allow use of the Vacuum Drying System (VDS) for one Holtec FW (CoC-1032) system canister (MPC-0431), despite exceeding the per assembly Region 2 decay heat limit per the requirements of CoC 1032 Appendix B, Table 2.3-4, "MPC-89 Heat Load Data". This exemption will allow BFN to complete the loading of the MPC in the cask for ISFSI storage.
