Finally, the licensee is required under 10 CFR Sections 71.53 and 71.54 to provide a program to insure that. the shipping package is not damaged in any way which could significantly reduce the effectiveness of the packaging. Details of the program are available from the licensee.
_ Interrogatory 60 Provide the mean cask temperature as a function gf time for extreme sumner weather. Assume an ambient temperature of 100 F and full July solar radiation incidence for this solar region (SC/NC).
Provide the temperature-time function under similar conditions for the borated water.
If the assembly is water immersed, provide information as foregoing. What is the corresponding time-temperature function for the hottest fuel pellet; for the fuel rod sheath?
Answer Section III of the NFS SAR for the NFS-4 spent fuel cask analyzes temp-erature considerations for normal and abnormal conditions. Additionally, the subject is discussed in the Staff's Safety Evaluation for the NFS-4 cask.
Interrogatory 61 What steady state, maximum sheatg temperature will be reached in a fuel assembly in ambient air at 100 F which is subject only to natural radiative and convective cooling?
Answer The response to Interrogatory 60 is applicable.
Interrocatory 52 Describe each accident to date involving the motor transport of spent fuel giving time, place, driving conditions, and extent of wnatever damages occurred.
Answer The most complete information in this area is available from the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Incidents Reporting System. One incident is reported in "The Peach Bottom Spent Fuel Element Shipping Cask
~
Accident, Dec. 8,1971".
Full details of this accident may be found in ORNL-TM-3844 available from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830.
This accident involved the overturn of a truck bed; however, no significant damage to the cask, and no release of radioactive materials occurred.
A second incident occurred on February 9,1978. This accident occurred as a result of structural failure in a truss-type trailor.
Enclosed for your use is a copy of the accident report associated with this accident.
Detailed descriptions of failures of equipment auxiliary to the NFS-4 cask are documented in Docket No. 71-6698.
Additional incidents were of lesser significance than those identified above and also did not involve cask failures.
Detailed information should be sought from the Department of Transportation.
Interrogatory 63 What screening and testing is applied to drivers to be utilized?
What minimum qualifications are imposed? What restrictions are placed on driver operation such as elapsed time since last trip, sleep in the 24-hour period preceding the trip, continuous driving time in any trip segment, maximum driving time in any 24-hour period, condition in regard to drugs, intoxicants, physical tone, alertness, coordination, emntional state, etc.?
Answer Under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding between the NRC and the
~
DOT (published in the Federal Register on April 2,1973, 38 FR 8466), the 00T sets regulations concerning motor carrier operators. Individual carriers may have additional requirements.
Interrogatory 65 What means of communication are provided for drivers of spent fuel vehicles? Is there a monitor to assure a continuous communication capability?
Is the transport crew a driver? Is a relief driver or helper assigned?
Answer The response to Interrogatory 63 is applicable.
Interrogatory 66 What is the average mass of Pu-239 present in a representative spent fuel assembly? What is the mass of total radionuclides (excluding actinides)? What is the mass of volatile radionuclides? Historically, what percentage of Oconee fuel rods have been " leakers"?
. Answer Isotopic compositions of spent fuel are obtainable as functions of time by means of the Origen Computer Code. Appropriate calculations are reported in " Siting of Fuel Reprocessing Plants and Waste Management Facilities",
ORNL-4451 (July 1971) available from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Duke has provided the Staff with a historical average of.028% of the fuel rods identified as leakers at the Oconee facility.
Interrogatory 67 Describe the shielding provided for the driver; specify the radiation attenuation factor. What is the hourly dose rate? (270 day aged fuel)
Answer The DOT regulations specify that normally occupied posit 1 of the vehicle not be exposed to more than 2 mrem /hr.
