BWeiss This is in regard to your request for approval of a route to be used for two imports of irradiated MTR fuel from Sweden to be moved by highway from the port at Portsmouth, Virginia to the Department of Enercy's Savannah River Plant, Aiken, South Carolina as contained in your letters of flovember 14, 1979 and November 19, 1979.
The proposed port of entry Portsnouth, Viroinia is defined as a heavily populated area ir. NUREG-0561 and under 10 CFR Part 73.37 nust be avoided if a practicable alternative is available. Since we do not know of any practicable alternative to Portsmouth at the present time, we are approving the route described in the enclosure.
In this regard, we have information that leads us to believe that with additional effort a practical alternative misht be developed.
t l-Accordinoly, this route is aoproved for use until March 15,1980 Continued
[
use beyond this date will only be approved if evidence is presented to the F
~
WC to the effect that:
l there are.no other ports of entry (located away fron heavily j.
nonulated areas) that have the facilities and capacity to handle the shipment (as represented by a list of east coast ports and the reason each cannot be used) t there are no commercial shio companies willing and able to service ports located away from heavily populated areas (letters of refusal fron ship connanies that service east coast ports would be the best evidence) l94g j Please note that assuring highway safety is the responsibility of the licensee and the carrier and our approval is not intended to provide relief in this
'Q regard.
Furthemore, the approval does not guarantee that there will be no local or state lecislation annlicable to the route that restricts or orchibits the novement of radioactive materials, ame = *
