UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT Docket No. 71-9379 Model No. 1105-SD Transportation Package Certificate of Compliance No. 9379 Revision No. 0
SUMMARY
By letter dated July 19, 2018 (Orano, 2018), as supplemented on January 14, 2019 (Orano, 2019), Orano Federal Services LLC (thereafter, Orano or the applicant), requested that the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC, the staff) approve the Model No. 1105-SD package as a Type B(U)-96 package for the transport of radioactive sealed sources (gamma, beta, and small neutron sources) or shielded irradiation devices containing their gamma sources. Quantities of fissile materials [e.g., plutonium-239 (239Pu)] are less than 15 grams.
The design of the Model No. 1105-SD package is based on the design of the Model No. 435-B, certificate of compliance (CoC) No. 9355, Revision 2 (NRC, 2018a). The staff issued Revision 2 of the Model No. 435-B on January 26, 2018 (NRC, 2018a).
The staff reviewed the application for the Model No. 435-B, including relevant information in the supplements to the application, using the guidance in NUREG-1609, Standard Review Plan for Transportation Packages for Radioactive Material. This guidance also applies to the review of Model No. 1105-SD. Based on the statements and representations in the application, as supplemented, and the conditions listed below, the staff concludes that the Model No. 1105-SD meets the requirements of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 71, Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Material.
EVALUATION The Model No. 1105-SD package is based on the design of the Model No. 435-B, CoC No.
9355, Revision 2 (NRC, 2018a). In Attachment 2 to the letter dated July 19, 2018 (Orano, 2018), the applicant included a road map related to the changes corresponding to the safety analysis report corresponding to Revision 2 of the CoC for to the Model No. 435-B compared to the application for the Model No. 1105-SD. The staff reviewed the application for the Model No.
1105-SD, Revision 0, and compared it to the safety analysis report corresponding to Revision 2 of the CoC for the 435-B and found that the two package designs are essentially the same. The main changes to the safety analysis report corresponding to CoC, Revision 2, of the Model No.
435-B were as follows:
- 1) editorial differences related to the change to Model No. 1105-SD from Model No. 435-B (e.g., drawing numbers);
- 2) changes related to the change of the package model number, Enclosure 2
- 3) commitment to the use of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) N14.5-2014, American National Standard for Radioactive Materials - Leakage Tests on Packages for Shipment (ANSI, 2014).
In the January 14, 2019, letter (Orano, 2019), the applicant supplemented its application by responding to a request for supplemental information (NRC. 2018c) as part of the acceptance review of the application (NRC, 2019). As part of the response to question RSI-1, the applicant included a list of documents that constitute the licensing basis for the Model No. 1105-SD.
(Appendix A of this Safety Evaluation Report includes the list of documents provided by the applicant in its January 2019 letter.) The staff considers the information provided in the January 14, 2019, letter part of the application for Revision 0 for the Model No. 1105-SD package.
In observation OBS-Co-1 (NRC. 2018c), the staff requested clarification about the applicants requirements to develop and approve procedures to perform leak tests to verify the applicants commitment to follow the 2014 Edition of ANSI N14.5 (ANSI, 2014). Moreover, the staff wanted to ensure the following:
- 1) personnel developing and approving leakage rate testing procedures is certified as an American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) nondestructive testing (NDT)
Level III, and
- 2) personnel performing leakage rate testing is qualified and certified in accordance with ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A (ASNT), in accordance with Sections 8.5, Leakage rate testing, and 8.8, Quality assurance, of ANSI N14.5-2014 (ANSI, 2014).
The applicant noted in its response to OBS-Co-1 (Orano, 2019) that leakage rate testing procedures must be approved by personnel certified as an ASNT NDT Level III. The staff finds the applicants response acceptable based on the staffs review of Sections 8.5 and 8.8 of ANSI N14.5-2014 (ANSI, 2014). The applicant also noted in its response to OBS-Co-1 (Orano, 2019) that leakage rate testing must be performed by personal qualified and certified personnel in accordance with ASNT Recommended Practice No. SNT-TC-1A (ASNT). The staff also finds this part of the applicants response acceptable based on the staffs review of Sections 8.5 and 8.8 of ANSI N14.5-2014 (ANSI, 2014).
The applicant summarized in the response to OBS-Co-1 (Orano, 2019) that written leakage rate testing procedures for the 1105-SD package are developed, approved, and performed by qualified and certified NDT personnel for leakage testing in accordance with industry standards.
The staff confirmed that ANSI N14.5-2014 is referenced in Chapters 7 and 8 of the application and that Chapters 7 and 8 are also referenced in the CoC. The applicant will use the NRC-approved quality assurance program under Docket No. 71-0938 (NRC, 2018b) for this package (Orano, 2019).
EVALUATION FINDINGS The staff concludes that besides the above described differences and other minor editorial differences (e.g., replace 435-B with 1105-SD), the two applications are essentially the same, with the exceptions noted in Attachment 2 to the application submitted in July 2018). As the package design has already been approved as part of the 435-B technical review, the staff concludes that the same safety evaluation findings can be made for the 1105-SD.
Based on the statements and representation in the application, as supplemented, and the conditions listed below, the staff concludes that the package design meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71 and is described in sufficient detail to provide an adequate basis for its evaluation.
