Dear Mr. Al-Daouk:
The U.S. Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA or the applicant), requested a revision to the Model No. 435-B package certificate of compliance by application dated April 27, 2017 (Agencywide Document Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17138A026), as supplemented on November 9, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17335A008).
In summary, the applicant proposed the following revisions to the design of the Model No. 435-B package:
- 1) use bolts in lieu of adhesive to attach neoprene to the lodgment,
- 2) change the standards for the inner container (IC) bolts and washers;
- 3) use of lock washers to secure bolts;
- 4) remove the use of thin (1/8-inch thick) neoprene;
- 5) add breather vents to the IC lid;
- 6) add a new case to the thermal analysis to evaluate the thermal effect of using metallic dunnage with a shielded device in the IC;
- 7) add Section 3.4.3.5 to the thermal analysis to document the evaluation of the thermal decomposition response, under hypothetical accident conditions, of non-metallic materials that may be transported within containment;
- 8) revise operating procedures to allow the slings used to lift the shielded device during loading to be left in the IC for use in unloading; and
- 9) modifications to drawings to reflect changes identified during fabrication of the packaging.
Enclosed is Certificate of Compliance No. 9355, Revision No. 2, for the Model No. 435-B transportation package. The staffs safety evaluation report is also enclosed.
