Packaging consists of the following wooden shipping containers; which are banded with 1.25"x.035" steel banding secured by notched seals:
1.
Boxes with lids (tiLO Dwgs G-4214, G-4245, and G-4292) constructed with 1-1/8" tnick pine sices ind ends, a 1" thick hardwood bottom and 1" thick plywood lid (except G-4245 which has a 1/2" thick lid).
2.
Pallets with covers (tiLO Dwgs G-4255 with G-4256 and G-4257, and G 2273 with G-4274 ano G-4275) constructed primarily of 3/4" thick exterior grada plywocd.
In addition to tne exterior banding, bands also secure the oillets or ingots to the pallet.
3.
Pallets witnaut covers (NLO Dwgs G-4273 and G-4272).
The volumes of these containers range from s.7 to 6 ft3 and gross weignts range from 250 lbs. (113 kg) to 3240 lbs. (1469 kg). All closed containers are bandad with nine bands except tne sample container which has four bands.
See ilLO Cwgs, in Rpt. fio. NLCO-1107 for canding requirements.
Container model numbers are the same as itLO drawing numbers.
d.
The containers will be utilized only as Fissile Class III packages and will be transported cnly by motor freight and rail.
e.
The maximum 2350 enrichment of the bulk uranium is 1.25% and of tne samoles s 2.1".. Specific materials, load limits and container mixing criteria are snewn in Attachment "A".
f.
Tne maximum 235U enrichment of uranium metal scrap fragments dispersed in con-crete billets is 1.25%. The billets are contained witnin a steel container naving a wall tnickness of approximately 0.010" tnick (lard can).
Load limits are snown in Attacnment "B".
g.
(1) The maximum U-235 enricament of scrac uranium metal as extrusiens, bcita sections or fragments in tne Uti!-ST-1 shipping tuce is i.25%.

Rev. 4 Washers shall be used over the metal op.enings to hold sections together as appropriate with a cotter pin positioned in the bolt to hold the nut on the bol t.
(2) A close packed configuration shall have the uranium in contact with no physical separations (such as fuel supports) and with no gaps or spaces within the interior of the packing. The uranium will normally be parallel packed but cross packing to fill the ends of the boxes shall also be permitted.
Contents shall be tightly shored inside the box to maintain the close pack configuration. The following describes close pack and loose pack versus lattic pitch (L.P.):

The shipping tubes will be loaded in the boxes in up to four layers of five tubes each in MLO box G-4214 and up to eight layers in box G-4292. A cotter pin is positioned in tne open-ing end to assure that the screw cap remains in position.
(4.) The uranium metal scrap shall be loaded in NLO boxes in the method described in UNI-483, Rev.1 and UNI-489, according to the loading limits and restrictions noted in Attachment "C".
(5) For shipments consisting of mixed boxes and materials, the sum of the safe fraction per box (1/C) for all boxes in the shipment shall be s 1.00.
1/C is determined by dividing the safe number of boxes (C) for the material type, en-richment and mass per box into 1 as specified in Attachment "C".
(6) The following specific materials may be shipoed in unlimited cuantities:
235U enrichments 5 25" when packaged in shippiiig 1
a.
uranium fragments at tubes UNI-ST-1.
2350 enrichments $.25% either bolted 1
b.

Technical and Production Division SUPPLEMENT TO SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT NLCO-1107 (YOUR MEMO, 7/9/79, TS:WGO'Q: Img) nte supplement to Safety Analysis Report, NLCO-1107, has been reviewed for nuclear criticality safety (memo, DES /DNB, 7/19/79).
It is concluded that the return of the Mk VR, Mk VE, and Mk 15 slugs in the original wooden boxes will satisfy the requirements of SR-0529 and 10 CFR 71.
The limitations as described in the SARP supplement will ensure nuclear
' I' ' "
criticality safety. Approval of the SARP supplement is recommended by the Safety and Environment Division.

SUPPLEMEVr TO SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT NLCO-1107 i
Building 777-M is being placed in a shutdown condition.
Due to the i
termination of activity in Building 777-M, a total of 36 tons of slightly enriched uranium fuel slugs and cores will be returned to National Lead of Ohio. The fuel will be shipped in the wooden containers in which
=
they were originally received. The SARP for the wooden containers and *
',,",,?
the existing Certificate of Compliance do not authorize the shipment of this uranium since the original shipment was made before current restrictions were imposed. The SARP supplement is intended to document the adequacy of the wooden containers for shipping the enriched uranium fuel.
The wooden containers would be destroyed by the hypothetical accident conditions of 10 CFR 71.
This is recognized by the SARP supplement and therefore the safety of the proposed shipment is supported by limiting m---.
the mass of uranium. The limits determined are such that if all the slugs or l ' 2 cores were arranged in the most reactive array, with water moderation, the arrangement would be subcritical.
w. _, -
"'~~~
All assumptions necessary for the criticality analysis were made in the conservative sense. The mass of 20sU in the low enriched fuel and the cylinder diameters are safely below the maximum limits provided in ANSI N16.1 (Nuclear Criticality Safety in Operations With Fissionable Material Outside Reactors). The maximum safe slab thickness has been confirmed, based on an infinite, flooded array, and the actual slab thickness is within the safe limit for all cases. The requirements of SR-0529 and 10 CFR 71 for nuclear criticality safety will be satisfied for the fuel shipment proposed by the SARP supplement, DPSP-79-71-6, and its approval is recommended.
