NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR MATERIAL SAFETY AND SAFEGUARDS
WASHINGTON, DC 20555 April 17, 1997 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE 97-20: IDENTIFICATION OF CERTAIN URANIUM
HEXAFLUORIDE CYLINDERS THAT DO NOT
COMPLY WITH ANSI N14.1 FABRICATION
STANDARDS
Addressees
Registered users of transportation packages for uranium hexafluoride.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information notice to notify
addressees that, based on NRC inspection review of available records, certain Model 30B
cylinders for uranium hexafluoride do not meet the fabrication standards in American
National Standards Institute, ANSI N14.1, "Uranium Hexafluoride-Packaging for Transport."
Model 30B cylinders that do not meet the ANSI N14.1 standard are not authorized for
transport. It is expected that recipients will review the information for applicability
to their operations. However, information contained in this notice Is not an NRC requirement;
therefore, no specific action nor written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
On April 9-11, 1997, NRC conducted an inspection at Amer Industrial Technologies, Inc.
(AIT), in Wilmington, Delaware. The inspection Involved the fabrication of cylinders for
uranium hexafluoride. The fabrication records for certain Model 30B cylinders did not support
a conclusion that the weld procedures had been qualified at the low temperatures specified in
ANSI N14.1. The cylinders were fabricated by AIT, and were purchased by Korea Nuclear
Fuel Co., Ltd (KNFC). The affected cylinders are:
KNFC Serial No. Date of Manufacture
0244 to 0373, Inclusive June 1995 through July 1996 Discussion
The available records at AIT do not support a conclusion that Model 30B cylinders were
fabricated in accordance with ANSI N14.1. U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)
regulations (49 CFR 173.420) require that packagings for uranium hexafluoride be designed, fabricated, inspected, tested, and marked in accordance with ANSI N14.1. NRC regulations
require that licensees making these types of shipments comply with applicable DOT
9704171':
IN 97-20
April 17, 1997 regulations (10 CFR 71.5). NRC Certificates of Compliance for uranium hexafluoride
packages also specify that cylinders must be fabricated, inspected, and tested in accordance
with ANSI N14.1.
ANSI N14.1 specifies design and fabrication standards for uranium hexafluoride cylinders.
Among other things, the standard includes provisions for ensuring impact resistance of the
Model 30B cylinder shell and heads in case of a transportation accident in a cold climate.
The standard specifies that the weld procedures for the Model 30B cylinders be qualified at
-50eF (-45°C) for the grade of steel used for these cylinders. The weld procedures used to
fabricate the cylinders identified above, according to available records, were only qualified to
+10OF (-120C), and therefore, do not conform to the ANSI N14.1 standard. Since DOT
regulations and NRC Certificates of Compliance specify that cylinders used to transport
uranium hexafluoride must comply with ANSI N14.1, the cylinders identified above are not
authorized for transport.
This information notice requires no specific action nor written response. If you have any
questions about the information in this notice, please contact one of the individuals listed
below, or the appropriate regional office.
