FOREWORD<br />

This report will provide technical support for major revisions proposed to the current U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission<br />

(NRC) decay heat rate guide entitled "Regulatory Guide 3.54, Spent Fuel Heat Generation in an Independent Spent Fuel<br />

Storage Installation." A proposed revised guide is now under development by the NRC staff. The proposed procedure<br />

applies computed results of the SAS2H/ORIGEN-S analyses sequence of the SCALE-4 system, a more recent version of the<br />

software than that used for the current guide. The calculated decay heat rate data base proposed here has a broader<br />

application and is designed to be easier to use than that in the current guide.<br />

This report is not a substitute for NRC regulation, and compliance is not required. The approaches and/or methods<br />

described in this document are provided for information only. Publication of this report does not necessarily constitute NRC<br />

approval or agreement with the information contained herein.<br />
