ERRATA SHEET FOR ENCLOSURE "A" 0F SECY-80-245C The following changes are to be incorporated into Enclosure "A" of SECY-80-245C effective October 2,1980:
1.
The Preface to Enclosure "A" is amended by replacing the first paragraph with the following paragraph (while the second paragraph remains the same):
This circular has been prepared in response to numerous requests for information regarding routes used for the shipment of irradiated reactor (spent) fuel and to meet the requirements of Public Law 96-295. The Nuclear Regulatory Cormiission staff must approve such routes prior to their first use, in accordance with the regulatory provisions of 10 CFR Part 73.37. The NRC believes that the design and construction of the casks used to ship the spent fuel provide adequate protection of the public health and safety against accidents.
Therefore, transporting appropriately packaged spent fuel over existing rail systems and via any highway system designed to bear the weight is safe without specific NRC approval of the route. However, to provide additional protection against actual or attempted acts of sabotage, NRC requires advance route approval. Thus the additional safeguards regulations contained in 10 CFR Part 73.37 were aimed exclusively at protection against radioactive dispersal caused by mu N alent acts by persons.
