(1) Type and form of material (continued)
(iv) Plutonium sources in excess of twenty (20) curies per package must be at least double encapsulated in a metal capsule such that the sources meet special form criteria defined in 10 CFR 571.4(o).
Inner and outer capsules are individually leak tested during fabrication per ANSI N542-1977, procedure A2.2.3 (He pressure bubble test), or equivalent.
(2) Maximum quantity of material per package and fissile class (i) Forthematerialdescribedib5.(b)(1)(1),themaximumfissilematerial and maximum hydrogen per package for Fissile Class I is as follows:
Maximum fissile material Hydrogen Material Fissile per package, per package, Material kilograms grams U-235 1.6 20 Pu 0.9*
11 U-233 0.5 6.4
- Because of the 10 watt thermal decay heat limitation, the limit for Pu-238 is 0.02 kilograms.
Plutonium in excess if twenty (20) curies per package must be in the form of metal, metal alloy or reactor fuel elements.
