Fort Calhoun Station has run into a delay with respect to Dry Cask storage operations.
 
Our cask crane has issues preventing us from removing the canister and transfer cask from the SFP.
Our concerns are as follows:
 
  1. Leaving the TC and DSC in the pool for an extended length of time.
  2. The fuel is in the DSC with spacers installed, (spacers ha flow holes)
  3. Placing the spacers on the SFP racks above fuel assemblies (if we want to move fuel back to the SFP)
 
  1. Has  anyone had similar issues?
  2. What other concerns would you have?
