SNM-23, Docket 70-33, Request for License Amendment dated May 1, 1979 Gentlemen:
As the result of your staf f's review of our request for amendment dated May 1, 1979, we are submitting this cover letter and enclosures revisions.
This cover letter replaces the cover letter dated May 1, 1979, in its entirety.
Also enclosed you will find page changes to Enclosure III.
It is requested that U.S.N.R.C. License No. SNM-23, Docket No. 70-33, Amendment No.
8, dated cul; 28, 1979, be a= ended to:
1.
Permit the temporary st:. age of 5 HFBR (or similar) loaded shipping containers at wor:. location nurter 31.
No justification See Enclosure III, Table 1, page for this request is provided as the storage of these
~
7 9D 15~ocation
- 'h
-k '
containers precludes the loadi--
osn with other containers or SNM.
2.
Permit the use of a newly devel: ped horated phenolic foam insulated shipping container for storage and trans f er o f HFSR, NESR, ORR, or other box type fuel e,le_ments within the EFIR Facil'tv (with nc great: _
.33U con, tent than EFSR fuel ele..ents, ac. c ro xima te l.c 351 g 2 3 3C).
As presented in the enclosures of May 1, 1979, desi;ner and independent calculations demonstrate that the newly developed cantainer neets Fissile
.M.,,,h,
=l, b
Class I package requirements of l 's CFR Part 71.
Therefore, the storage of L'cx type fuel elements l L L S j l k ij H 2 within the neuly developed centainer will not affect l' i ! l'
'ls i
the nuclear criticalit; safety of fuel storage at TI. M.<
F "se Of the newly developed shipping containers are limited to available shipping container storage space within location nurlers (30), (31), (41), (31), and (37) e 'c & s a u' ~4 7 or as perm;.tted by Table 1, Appendix 1, of Amendrent No.
8.
,~
e The maximum nurter of loaded newl; deceloped shipping containers will not exceed 12, as is current 1; required by license condition #24.
