North Anna performs dry fuel storage using the NUHOMS system.  We perform all 
loading operations inside our Fuel Building.  Cask assembly is performed inside 
a building.  Transfer of the Dry Shielded Container (DSC) is performed outside 
at our ISFSI.

Loading and movement of the NUHOM cask requires continuous HP coverage.  
Loading operations are performed in an RCA and posted "contaminated area".

Follow-up contamination surveys (loose and fixed) are performed once the DSC 
has been loaded into the storage module at the ISFSI.  A catch device is 
utilized for any residual water in the gap between the Transfer Cask and the 
Dry Shielded Container.

ANO would like to know:


Does your site perform Dry Fuel Storage?

If so, do you perform "stack and Lower" operations inside or outside a building?

If outside, describe what type of radiological controls are utilized for 
contamination control?
