(a) Packaging (1) Model No.: WE-1 (2) Description A fresh fuel assembly shipping container. The package has two shipping configurations:
one for shipping a single BW 17x17 fuel assembly composed of uranium dioxide pellets within zircalloy cladding; and the other for shipping up to 48 Pathfinder fuel assemblies within a steel canister which functions as a secondary containment vessel. The package consists of a cylindrical outer container and a rectangular inner container bolted to a strongback. The outer container is constructed of 11 gauge carbon steel and opens into two semi-cylindrical halves. The inner container is comprised of 1-inch thick carbon steel plates that are bolted together. The inner container is secured to the strongback by bolts and clamp arms. Wood blocks surround the region between the inner container and the strongback. The strongback is supported by 14 shock mounts attached to the outer container.
For BW 17x17 Fuel Shipment Configuration:
The BW 17x17 fuel assembly shipment configuration consists of the fuel assembly placed into the inner container. The fuel assembly is surrounded by thermal insulation and secured inside the inner container with nine integral clamp frames.

- 5. (2) Description (Continued)
For Pathfinder Fuel Shipment Configuration:
Pathfinder Fuel shipment configuration consists of the Pathfinder fuel in the Pathfinder Canister, which is placed into the inner container. The Pathfinder Canister is a sealed cylindrical canister which houses up to 48 Pathfinder fuel assemblies. Wood dunnage or empty sheaths may be used to fill empty spaces in the canister. The canister is made of austenitic stainless steel and has a welded body and a bolted closure lid. The Pathfinder Canister is surrounded by thermal insulation, and secured inside the inner container with five integral clamp frames. The clamp frames, which consist of bolted clamp arms, are bolted to the inner rectangular container. Wood blocks surround both ends of the Pathfinder Canister. A stainless steel spacer tube is used to fill the space between the Pathfinder Canister and the inner container.
The approximate dimensions and weights of the package are as follows:
Inner container length 165 inches Inner container width (sq) 16 1/2 inches Outer container length 216 inches Outer container diameter 44 inches Maximum content weight 1610 pounds Maximum package weight (including contents) 9090 pounds (3) Drawings The packaging is constructed in accordance with the following Framatome Cogema Fuels Drawing Nos.:
