GADR-55 ADDENDUM I REVISION C INTRODUCTION Addendum 1 to GADR-55 provides the Safety Analysis for an alternate closure system for the model FSV-1 cask. This alternate closure system consists of the following major components:

Fuel Container Ltd Shipping Cask Cover Impact Limiter Associated with these major components are the seals, test ports, bolts, and retainers.

The alternate closure system is shown on General Atomic Company (GAC) Drawings GADR-55-2-1, GADR-55-2-2 and GADR-55-2-3. The detailed des-cription and the supporting analysis is presented in the folloiwng sections of Addendum 1.

These sections are numbered the same as the sections of GADR-55 and contain the additional analysis and description associated with

~

the alternate closure system for the model FSV-1 cask. The alternate closure system is designed to satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 71 as effective June 1978, except that the leakage rates and tests are designed to satisfy the requirements of ANS N14.5, " Leakage Tests on Packages for Shipment of Radioactive Materials", dated November 1974.

Reference throughout this report has been made to GAC manufacturing drawings designated as 90-H1501-XXX. These individual drawings are not a part of this report.

Instead, GAC Drawings GADR-55-2-1, GADR-55-2-2 and GADR-55-2-3 have been included to provide the necessary design information.

MAINTENANCE PROGRAM

)

The shipping cask with the fuel container, and all auxiliary equipment will be maintained to assure that all items are in proper operating con-di tion. A checklist will be developed which will list each component which requires specific maintenance actions.

The checklist will include the method of maintenance check to be used, the acceptance criteria for each, and the required maintenance frequency. Each checkpoir.t will re-quire sign-off by the individual makir.g the check.

Space will be pro-vided on the maintenance checklist to enter the equipment identification, supervisor's name, and the date maintenance is completed.

The maintenance checklist will also include all auxiliary equipment, such as the lifting yoke, tie-down assemblies, and trailer. Maintenance of the trailer will be carried out in accordance with standard industry-recommended procedures and schedules.

The cask operating procedure will contain steps requiring a review of the equipment maintenance program checklists to verify that all required maintenance and periodic testing has been accomplished.

G.

LEAKAGE TESTING In accordance with Regulatory Guide 7.4, the guidance contained in ANSI N14.5, " Leakage Tests on Packages for Shipment of Radioactive Materials",

was used to establish the maximum permissible leakage rate and the minimum leakage test sensitivity.

1.

The containment system assembly verification test will be conducted prior to each use (except when the periodic verification test is required) as follows:

Component Verification Fuel Container main flange (a)

(b) double seal Fuel Container primary (a)

(b) plug seal (a) Checklist verification of proper assembly.

(b) Leakage test by evacuating tne seal interspace to a pressure of 1 m Hg. Observe that pressure does not rise above 6.5 mm Hg in two minuto (maximum permissible leakage rate is 1 x 10 3 atm 3

cm/sec).

2.

The ' containment system periodic verification test will be conducted prior to each third use, within 12 months of any use and prior to any use following the replacement of any primary seals.

3.

The shipping cask seals that are not part of the centainment system will be tested as part of the annual maintenance procedure as follows:

a.

Pressurize the shipping cask cavity to 10 psig 01 rough the lower purge valve connection.

Reinstall the purge valve cover and apply soap solution around the purge valve cover and the lower cavity access port cover. No leak indications permitted.

b.

Remove the shipping plug from the cask cover. Evacuate the seal interspace to a pressure of 1 m Hg. Observe that pressure does not rise above 6.5 m Hg in two minutes (maximum permissible 3

leakage rate is 1 x 10 3 atm cm /sec).

4.

Calculations for pennissible leakage rate.

The maximum pennissible leakage rate and the minimum sensitivity of the leakage test were determined by using the guidance provided in ANSI N14.5, " Draft American National Standard for Leakage Tests on Packages for Shipment of Radioactive Materials",

a.

GADR-55 ADDENDUM I SECTION II REVISION C The shipping cask closure is sealed to the cask body with a stainless

~

g steel / dual concentric silicon elastomer seal design similar to that used on the spent fuel container lid. A single test port is routed from the top of the closure to the innerspace between the concentric seals to allow for seal leak testing similar to that done on the container lid seal.

D.

IMPACT L' MITER An aluminum encased plywood impact limiter attaches to the top end of the cask and completely envelops the cask closure and container lid area.

The impact limiter is designed to protect the cask closure area from both top end and side drops as well as drops through all intermediate angles. The limiter is made up of about 40 layers of 3/4 inch thick marint grade ply-wood and is encasec in aluminum for weather protection and durability during handling. The impact limiter is clamped to the outer top end of the cask using a continuous mounting ring which is held to the impact limiter with six 1/2 inch diameter fasteners.
