Packaging (1) Model No.:

235R001 (2) Description The 235R001 shipping container structure is horizontal, having an oblong cross section and is fabricated from 0.104 inch thick carbon sheet steel. The container is 313 inches long and has a maximum weight of 4 f10 pounds, empty.

The oblong cross section dimensions are approximately 35.5 inches high by 33.0 inches wide.

The con-tainer was originally designed to ship unirradiated fuel modules of the A1G/A4W type.

Subsequently, the container has been adapted to ship AlW-3 fuel modules using a strongback, partial AlW-R3 fuel modules using module support assemblies, standard size or partial S8G fuel modules by use of a special frame assembly and cradle clamps, S3G-3 refueling modules using cell support assemblies, rodded or unrodded DlG fuel modules, and rodded ASNPP fuel cells.

The [

loaded container maximum weight is 12,421 pounds.

(3) Drawings The packaging is constructed in accordance with Container Research Corporation Drawings Nos. 235R001, Rev. C, 235R004, Rev. C, and 235R005, Rev. O, and Westinghouse Electric Corporation Drawings Nos.
