(a)
Packaging (1)
Model No.:
UX-30 (2)
Description Overpack for 30-inch enriched uranium hexafluoride (UF6) cylinders. The overpack is a right circular cylinder constructed of two stainless steel shells with the volume between the shells filled with 6-inch thick foam (7.8 - 9.8 PCF). A stepped and gasketed horizontal joint permits the top half of the overpack to be removed from the base. The package "halves" are secured with ten indexed, cross-locking "ball lock" pins. The overpack is 43.5" in diameter by 96" long. The maximum gross weight of the package is 8270 lbs.
Two types of 30 inch uranium hexafluoride cylinders may be carried in the UX-30 overpack.
These are (1) an ANSI N14.1 Standard 30B cylinder, or (2) a CBC Watertight' Model 195 cylinder.
The CBC Watertight' Model 195 cylinder is essentially a 30B cylinder equipped with a Valve Protective Cover (VPC) that bolts over and protects the cylinder valve during transport.
The VPC is a special design feature that provides additional assurance against the inleakage of water to the containment system and is an enclosure that retains any leakage.

Drawings The Model No. UX-30 packaging is fabricated in accordance with Chem-Nuclear Systems LLC, Drawing No. C-110-B-57922-0002, Sheets 1 through 3, Rev. 2. The CBC Watertight' Model 195 Cylinder is fabricated in accordance with Columbiana Boiler Company drawings:
71800-C, Rev. 2, SK-71800-B-3, Rev. 1, SK-71800-B-4, Rev. 1, SK-71800-5, Rev. 0 and SK-71800-B-7, Rev. 0.
(b)
Contents (1)
Type and form of material UF6 enriched in the U-235 isotope.
(2)
Maximum quantity of material per package (i)
ANSI standard N14.1 30B cylinder or CBC Watertight' Model 195 cylinder: 5,020 pounds UF6 enriched to not more than 5 w/o in the U-235 isotope. The maximum H/U atomic ratio for the UF6 is 0.088.
(c)
Transport Index for Criticality Control (Criticality Safety Index)
Minimum criticality safety index for the UX-30 overpack containing a standard ANSI N14.1 30B cylinder 5.0 Minimum criticality safety index to be shown on the label for the UX-30 overpack containing a CBC Watertight' Model 195 Cylinder 0.0 6.
The ANSI standard 30B, 30-inch diameter UF6 cylinder, must be fabricated, inspected, tested and maintained in accordance with a) American National Standard N14.1-1995 or an earlier version of ANSI N14.1 in effect at the time of fabrication or b) American National Standard N14.1-1995 or an earlier version of ANSI N14.1 in effect at the time of fabrication and ISO 7195:1993(F). Cylinders must be fabricated in accordance with Section VIII, Division I, of the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and be ASME Code stamped.
7.
The CBC Watertight' Model 195 cylinder (new or retrofitted cylinders) must be fabricated, inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with CBC Watertight' Model 195 cylinder specification no. CBC-WT-M195, Revision 2 dated April 5, 2002.
8.
When the optional 4 lid lifting clips are used instead of the top lugs, the top lid (cover) must be lifted with a spreader bar (saddle).
9.
In addition to the requirements of Subpart G of 10 CFR Part 71:
(a)
Prior to each shipment, the overpack gaskets must be inspected. These gaskets must be replaced if inspection shows any defects or every 12 months, whichever occurs first.

(c)
The package shall be prepared for shipment and operated in accordance with the Operating Procedures of Chapter 7 of the application, as supplemented.
(d)
Prior to each shipment, the stainless steel components of the packaging must be visually inspected. Packagings in which stainless steel components show pitting, corrosion, cracking, or pinholes are not authorized for transport.
10.
The 30-inch diameter UF6 cylinder valve stem and plug may be tinned with ASTM B32, alloy 50A or Sn50 solder material, or a mixture of alloy 50A or Sn50 with alloy 40A or Sn40A material, provided the mixture has a minimum tin content of 45 percent.
