Docket No.
71,qggn 4 CONDITIONS This certif 6cate is conditional upon the fulfilling of the requirements of Subpart D of 10 CFR 71, as applicable, and the conditions specified in item 5 below.
S. Description of Packaging and Authorized Contents, Model Number, Fissile Class, Other Conditions, and Referer.ces:
(a) Packaging (1) Model No.: M0-1 (2) Description Steel overpack consisting of a 12 gauge outer shell (45" x 47" x 206")
and a 10 gauge inner shell (max. 37" x 37" x 186'.').
The volume between the shells is filled with a shock-and-thermal-insulating material consisting of rigid polyurethane foam.
The upper and lower sections of the overpack are secured by 12 ratchet binders and 12 high strength 5/8" latch pins. The fuel assemblies are held in place within the overpack by a strongback and adjustable clamping assembly (shock mounted). Neutron absorber plates are located between the fuel assemblies. The package is equipped with lifting, tiedown and pressure relief devices. Gross weight of the package is 8600 pounds.
(3) Drawing The packaging is constructed in accordance with Westinghouse Electric Corportation Drawing No.1581F50, sheets 1 and 2, Rev.1.
Fuel rod container is constructed in accordance with Wesinghouse Electric Corporation Drawing No. C5650055.

Two (2) neutron absorber plates consisting of 0.19" thick, full length, stainless steel containing 1.3% minimum boron or 0.19" thick 0FHC copper shall be installed between the active area of the fuel assemblies.
7.
Fuel rods shall be closely packed in the fuel rod container on no more than an equivalent metal-to-metal square lattice.
Partially loaded fuel rod containers shall be fitted with a minimum of three, equally spaced blocks, of which the noncombustible portion of the blocks and the method by which they are secured shall assure that the rods are maintained on no more than an equivalent metal-to-metal square lattice within the fuel rod container.
d.
Each fuel assembly shall be unsheathed or shall be enclosed in an unsealed, polyethylene sheath which will not extend beyond the ends of the fuel assembly. The ends of the sheath shall not be folded or taped in any manner that would prevent the flow of liquids into or out of the sheathed fuel assembly.
Alternatively, the fuel assembly may be enclosed in an elongated plastic bag or sheath along its full length. At the bottom end of the fuel assembly, the bag will be cut off or folded back to assure that the entire cross section of the lower end of the assembly is unobstructed. When the folding is used, the portion of the sheath that is folded back will be cinched with tape near its end to hold it in place, and tne length will be such that when the assembly is loaded in the packaging, the folded sheath will be clamped in place in at least two grid locations. The top end of the Mg may be gathered together and taped closed.
However, the top end then will be slit on all four sides. The slits will run perpendicular to the axis of the assembly and will extend the inner distance between the top nozzle pads and spring clamps (approximately 60% of the length of each side).
The slits will be made in a plane near that fonned by the top of the pads and clamps.
9.
The package authorized by this certificate is hereby approved for use under the general license provisions of Paragraph 71.12(b) of 10 CFR Part 71.
