SUMMARY
OF MEETING CONCERNING MODEL NO. MH-1A PACKAGE DESIGN Atendees NRC DOE Richard H. Odegaarden Charles Mauck Henry W. Lee g
Introduction ,
On November 26, 1985, Department of Energy (D0E) met with the NRC staff to discuss two summaries of structural evaluations of the Model No. t1H-1 A cask.
Discussion DOE showed the NRC staff summaries of structural evaluations of the Model No. MH-1 A cask perfonned by SANDIA Laboratories and Westinghouse-Hanford. Both evaluations appeared to confinn the NRC staff position
, that the package seal would be lost following the accident condition of transport tests.
DOE plans to pursue the analysis with Westinghouse-Hanford. The contents of the fuel material will be taken into account including a limited amount of crude on the outside of the fuel plates and rods. The NRC staff expects a reasonable amount of success in DOE obtaining a NRC ,
certificate for the cask.
