i CRITICALITY SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS RELATED TO AUTHORIZED CONTENTS FOR BU-7 PACKAGE t

1.

INTRODUCTION Presently, the BU-7 package is authorized in NRC Certificate of Compliance USA /9019/B()F for shipping uranium dioxide i

powder and pellets.

The descriptions in this certificate for uranium oxide powder authorized to be shipped in the BU-7' is as follows:

l Uranium oxide powder with a maximum bulk density not greater than 2.3 grams /cc. Uranium may be enriched to not more than 4.0 w/o in the U-235 isotope. The maximum H/U-235 atomic ratio considering all sources of the hydrogeneous material within the inner container shall not exceed 0.45.

i Two changes in the authorized contents shown above are request-j

~

i ed.

One is to change "H/U-235" to "H/U" in order to conform to the correct expression given in the criticality analysis a

accompanying the original application for the BU-7 package license dated May 4, 1974.

He believe that this requested change in authorized contents requires no further demonstration than that already provided previously.

The other change concerns the addition of binder and poreformer.

to the UO2 powder.

These contain the chemical compounds ammonium oxalate and ammonium bicarbonate.

We are therefore requesting the addition of these compounds as authorized contents as shown in Section 1.8.2 of Attachment 3 and Section 5(b) (1) (i) of Attachment 4.

The effective H/U ratio for the UO2 powder will be kept at 0.45 as presently authorized, i

including the moderating effect of carbon in the added chemical i

compound s'.

A descripticn of how we propose to control the effective H/U ratio by considering the moderating effectiveness of carbon relative to that of hydrogen, and of effects on the infinite -

neutron multiplication factor k= produced by carbon are shown l

- below.-

2.

MODERATOR EFFECTIVENESS l.

The moderating power of a material is' defined *as E N a g g s1, -

where (g is the relative moderator effectiveness, N is the material atom density, and o is the microscopic scattering cross section of the materfk1-for. thermal neutrons.

March 14, 1980 - Page 2 For hydrogen and carbon, these quantities n're:

l "si(barns)

E Hydrogen 1.000 20.0 Carbon 0.158 4.8 Thus, on a per-atom basis, the moderating power of hydrogen relative to that of carbon is:

0.158 x 4.8 N

=

N

= 0.0379 N H

1.0 x 20.0 C

C Thus, from a moderator effectiveness standpoint, one carbon atom would be equivalent to 1/26.4. or 0.0379.aton. 'of hydro.cen.

This formulation can be utilized to evaluate the relative moderating power of the combination of hydrogen content in the UO2 powder and the carbon content resulting from the i

addition of the ammonium oxalate and ammonium bicarbonate.

Details related to this formulation and its use are shown in Appendix A to this attachment.

NEUTRON ABSORPTION The absorption of thermal neutrons by hydrogen in the UO -H O 2

2 fuel mixtures modelled in the criticality safety analysis

• for the BU-7 container is less than 1% of the total absorption in the BU-7 unit cell used in this analysis.

The microscopic absorption cross section a hydrogen is 0.32 barns.**

• for carbon is 0.0045 barns and for Thus, if all the hydrogen were removed and replaced by carbon, assuming that the hydrogen contribution to thermal neutron absorption were entirely removed, the total thermal neutron abso'rption of the entire unit cell would bp reduced by no more than'1%.

It thus follohis that, conservatively, the respective values of the infinite and effective neutron multiplication constants k-and kdff would increase by no more than 1%.

The maximum values for k= and k gg were calculated

• to be:

e l

Normal case:

k=

= 0.55037 0.0054 Accident case:

k gg = 0.79019 i 0.0066 e

Thus an increase by 1% in these values would still result in subcritical systems.

CRITICALITY CALCULATIONS If the entire effective II/U ratio of 0.45 in the BU-7 package were due to carbon alone, the equivalent C/U ratio would be less than 12:

h=0.45x

= 11.87 0.0379 Assuming the maximum of 4% enrichment of uranium in U-235 authorized for the BU-7 package, then the C/U-235 ratio would be less than 300:

fir. Charles E. MacDonald March 14, 1980 - Page 4 From Table 1, for a C/U-235 ratio of less than or equal to

300, k= + 3a will remain less than 0.8, resulting in a sub-critical system.

In fact, k= for the C/U-235 ratio of 300 is less than that for the H/U ratio of 0.45 which is between 1.0 and 1.1.*

Thus, as long as the effective H/U ratio is kept at or below 0.4 5, corresponding to keeping the C/U-235 ratio at or below 300, the system will remain suberitical.

5.

CONCLUSION Based upon the above' analyses and discussions, we can conclude that the presence of carbon in the BU-7 fuel mixture as introduced by adding ammonium oxalate and ammonium bicarbonate to the UO2 Powder contents, will not significantly increase the reactivity of the normal case or the accident case fore the BU-7 package contents system as long as the effective H/U ratio as described above is kept at or below a value of 0.45.

. - Page 1 SPECIFICATIONS FOR OUTER 55-GALLON DRUM &

INNER 16-GALLON DRUM USED FOR BU-7 PACKAGE Referring to the description of the BU-7 package on pages 1-77 through 1-82 in the license application dated May 4, 1974 (see ), both the outer 55-gallon drum and she inner 16-gallon drum are described as being DOT Specification 17H steel drums.

Appendix A to this attachment contains the DOT 17H specifications for these drums as given i.n the DOT regulations ~

49 CFR 178.118 and in ANSI Standard MH2.5-1974.

L In reviewing 55-gallon and 16 gallon drums available for use in constructing the BU-7 package, we have found that steel drums conforming to the specifications for Uniform Freight Classification (UFC) - Rule 4 0 drums would be sufficient to provide package 3

integrity equivalent to that for the DOT Specification 17H drums, if steel thicknesses and other critical dimensions used for the Rule 40 drums are the same as those specified for the 17H drums.

Appendix B to this attachment contains the specifications for UFC

- Rule 40 steel drums.

In fact, the only ciifferences between the Rule 40 drums to be used for the BU-7 package and the equivalent 17H drums occur in minor dimensional differences between the two and in the fact that the Rule 40 55-gallon drum has two rolling hoops instead of the three required for the 17H 55-gallon drum.

This is demonstrated by the comparison shown below of the dimensions and characteristics of the Rule 40 55-gallon and 16-gallon drums proposed for use in construction of the BU-7 package, with those of the equivalent 17H drums specified in the license application for the BU-7 package dated May 4, 1974.

' - Page 3 Note that the only difference of any potential significance between the UFC Rule 40 and the DOT 17H steel drums occurs for the 55-gallon drum.

The Rule 40 55-gallon drum as we plan to use it for construction of the BU-7 package will have two rolling hoops instead of the three rolling hoops in the 17H drumy In order to assure that the,same package integrity for the BU-7 will be maintained using the Rule 40 drums as that using 17H drums, we performed the drop tests described in 10 CFR 71, Paragraph 6 of Appendix A and paragraph 1 and 2 of Appendix B.

All of these tests were done on the same actual package.

PARAGRAPH 5, APPENDIX A, 10 CFR 71 - FREE DROP Free drop through a 4 foot (actual distance was 4 feet, 8 inches) onto a flat essentially unyielding surface (actual surface used was a concrete pad 8 feet by 8 feet square and 8 inches thick), striking the surface in a position for which the maximum damage was expected (lues of bolt ring holding lid on outer drum).

PARAGRAPH 1, APPENDIX B, 10 CFR 71 - FREE DROP Free drop through a distance of 30-feet onto a flat essentially unyielding horizontal surface (actual surface used was the same as above) in a position for which maximum damage is expected (two on 30-foot drop tests were done on-different packages, one on bottom edge.and the other..on top edge of cylindrical outer drum).

PARAGRAPH 2, APPENDIX B, 10 CFR 71 - PUNCTURE Free drop through a distance of 40 inches striking, in a position for which maximum damage is expected, the top end of vertical mild steel bar mounted on an unessentially unyielding surface (actual surface used was a concrete pad 8 feet by 8 feet square and 8 inches thick).

The bar shall be 6 inches in diameter, with tlue top. horizontal and its edge rounded to a raqius of not more than one-quarter inch, and of such a length as to cause maximum damage to the package, but not less than 8 inches long (actual length of bar used was 10 inches).

The long axis of the bar shall be perpendicular to the unyielding horizontal surface.

Results of these tests are given below, i

Description of Package'and Test Preparation A BU-7 package used for the drop tests was fabricated using component drums purchased from Rheem Manufacturing Company with the following features:

e Uniform Freight Classification - Rule 40 55-gallon steel outer drum o Uniform Freight Classification - Rule 40 16-gallon steel inner drum e 16 gauge steel cover with one corrugation near the periphery (meeting DOT 17H specification) e 12 gauge bolt ring, 5/8" bolt closure (meeting DOT 17H specification) e Two 5-gallon, 24 gauge steel pails Lead shot in burlap bags was used to simulate actual package contents.

Each 5-gallon pail weighed 30 kilograms when loaded with the lead shot.

Covers with bolt ring closures were applied to the 5-gallon pails and closures scaled.

The two pails were put into the inner containers of the BU-7 type container, rubber gasket applied, and 3/16". cover secured in place using 12 5/16" bolts with washers.

Then the phenolic ring insulation was put into place and a gasketed 16 gauge steel cover (with one corrugation near the periphery) was affixed and secured with 12 gauge bolt ring with 5/8" bolt and lock out.

The container gross weight was 128 kgs.

The container was marked "BU 7 TEST" and " EMPTY + TEST WTS".

The container then was subjected to the tests as described below.

2.

Free Drop, 4 feet'onto concrete pad - Packace 41 The package (#1) was dropped from a fork lift for a height of about 4 feet 8 inches, onto a concrete pad 8 feet by 8 feet square by 8 inches thick.

No material leaked from the outer container of the package.

No seams were broken; no insulation was exposed; no cracks, gashes or gaps developed; and no insulation was exposed.

The cover and lock ring remained in place.

This resulted in partial flattening of the bottom of the container which struck the pad.

The bottom edge was pushed in about 3.3/4" in from the rim toward the center.

The side was dented to a height of about 7 1/2" and a depth of about 3" from the chime.

The bottom buckled outward about 3/4" at the point of its extreme distortion.

No cracks, gashes, or gaps developed, and no insulation was exposed.

The cover and bolt ring remained in place.

40-inch Drop Penetration Test - Package #2 The package which had been dropped 30 feet with its bottom facing down (#2) was then dropped vertically onto a 6-inch diameter, 10-inch long steel bar mounted on the 8-foot by 8-foot square by 8-inches thick concrete pad.

The package impacted the steel bar on the side of the bottom opposite to that which had been impacted by the previous 30-foot drop, with the edge of the steel bar about two inches in toward the center from the edge.

A small crescent dent in the bottom resulted, about 4 1/2" long and 3/4" deep.

No cracks', gashes or gaps developed, and no insulation was exposed.

The cover and bolt ring remained in place.

At the point of impact at the top of the outer container, the top was deformed at the bolt ring a distance of about four inches toward the bottom and about three inches toward the center of the container. This deformation caused some compressing of the top rolling hoop on the affected side, and less compression of Ehe lower rolling hoop. The cover was bowed out about one inch at its maximum, and the cover and bolt ring remained in place. The top of the body was crumpled inward at the point of impact. However, no cracks, gaps or gashes occurred, and no insulation was exposed.

40-inch Drop Penetration Test - Package #3 The package which had been dropped 30 feet with its top facing down (43) was then dropped vertically onto a'6-inch diameter, 10-inch long steel bar mounted on the 8-foot by 8-foot square by 8-inch thick concrete pad. The package impacted the steel bar on the edge of the top opposite to that which had been impacted by the previous 30-foot drop and with the edge of the steel bar about one inch in from the edge of the cover. A small crescent dent in the top resulted, about 3-1/4" long and about 3/8" deep. No cracks, gashes, or gaps developed, and no insulation was exposed.

The cover and bolt ring remained in place.

Post-Test Examination The package was removed to a enclosed area and opened to determine the extent of inside damage.

The phenolic insulation ring was cracked and crushed only to a slight degree.

It was then i.ntentionally fractured for ease in removal.

The 3/16" cover uas unbolted and the following measurements taken from the inside edge of the inner containment (16-gallon drum with flange) to the inside edge of the outer container, to determine the maximum extent of insulation deformation due to the distortion of the outer container..

Four measurements were taken, essentially at right angles to each other, as follows:

2" at the narrowest place, 3",

3-1/2" and 3-7/8".

Some cracking and crushing of the phenolic resin insulation had occurred, since the inner containment vessel was moved slightly off-center.

The 3/16" cover and its. corresponding flange were not observed to be bent from plane.

The two 24-gauge 5-gallon pails were removed and inspected.

for damage.

The lock rings held the cover tightly in place and there were no fractures of the metal, although the two pails both were distorted.

The covers of each pail bowed out about 1/2 inch.

The sides of both pail were dented up to a depth of about 3/4 inch with the top pail showing the most distortion.

The bottoms of the pails were undamaged.

There was no loss of contents.

Thermal Test ~on Insulation A test of the effect of flame on phenolic foam insulation of AEC SP9 specification, which is that used in the construction of the BU-7 package was conducted at Oak Ridge by C.E.

Daugherty and other in 1977.

Samgles of this phenolic foam were subject to temperature of 760 C for 10 minutes, in a pre-heated furnace which was subject to air in the flame environment.

The test results were that the material retained its shape and its insolating properties, showing only slight signs of crumbling at the edges of the shaped material.

These results are documented in a report, K/TL 729,

" Evaluation of Materials Used in Fire-Resistant Phenolic Foam", March 1, 1978.

9. Other Differenc'es in Construction An inquiry was made to Rheem Manufacturing Company, manufacturer of our BU-7 packages on March 10, 1980, regarding any differences between containers furnished to GE for the BU-7 packages and containers of comparable size which would have been fabricated to DOT 17H specifications, other than those differences already noted.

For SS-gallon outer drum:

Rheem advised us that the containers would be identical with respect to gauge (18 gauge), side seam and weld, manner of attaching the bottom head to the sides, and the curled top.

The Rule 40 (Railroads' Uniform Fr6ight Classification-Rule 40) drums furnished to GE had two rolling hoops instead of the three specified by DOT 17H. Rheem advised us that this difference is of no significance with respect to horizontal loads. The covers furnished to GE were 10 gauge steel, flat, and 7/8-inch deep. DOT 17H covers would have been 14 gauge steel,or 16 gauge steel with one corrugation near the periphery, and with a minimum 3/4 inch convexity.

Bolt ring which were furnishe.d met DOT 17H specifications, i.e. 12 gauge steel with forged steel lugs, one threaded, 5/8" bolt, and lock nut.

For 16-gallon inner drum:

Rheem advised us that the side seam and weld, and the manner of attaching the bottom head, and thickness of steel (18

' gauge) were identical for the drums furnished GE and a drum made to DOT 17H standards. In both cases, the inner drum would be left unfinished with straight sides above two rolling hoops and a surface left ready for welding thereto the flange to which the inner cover would later be bolted (as described in the original GE application dated May 4, 1974). The partially completed 16-gallon drums furnished to GE were tested to 7 PSI whereas a completed 17H 16-gallon drum would have been tested to 15 PSI.

For both drums:

Rheem advised us that the quality assurance associated with the manufacture of the GE drums was no different than that associated with the manufacture of comparable DOT 17H drums.

m m..

Mr. Charles E. MacDonald March 10, 1980 - Page 9 Based upon the results of drop tests (described above) i conducted on the BU-7 package constructed with the UFC Rule 40 55-gallon outer drum and 16-gallon inner drum; based upon the evidence that the insulation used in the construction of the BU-7 will not burn or severely decompose and will retain its insulating properties when exposed to temperature of 760 C for short periods of time in a flmne/ air environment; and based upon the relative insignificance of the differences between the DOT 17H steel drums the UFC Rule 40 steel drums, as we plan to use on page 1 and 2; we conclude that the EU-7 package with these Rule 40 drums will provide the same package integrity as that which would be provided using the 17H drums.

Therefore, our BU-7 package will be constructed with Rule 4d steel drums (55-gallon outer drum and 16-gallon inner drum) meeting all of the same specifications as those for the DOT Specification 17H 55-gallon and 16-gallon steel drums, except for the following:

l' o 2 rolling hoops in the drum body instead of 3 o Minor dimensional differences (no more than 1/2" difference in any dimension) noted in the above table.

1.8 PAIL (S) IN STANDARD DRUM - GE MODEL BU-7 1.8.1 Package Description - Packag ing (a)

General Inner containment'is a nominal 16-gallon drum closed by a gasketed-bolted lid, centered and supported within an outer 55-gallon drum by solid insulating media, and

.containing two or more steel pails which contain UO2-(See Figure 1.8.1.)

(b)

Gross weight 347 pounds, maximum (c)

Uranium oxide powder container One or more closed containers, 11.25" inside diameter fabricated of minimum 24-gauge steel, vertically stacked in each BU-7 unit.

(d)

BU-7 inner containment A nominal 16-gallon, Uniform Freight Classification Rule 40 drum constructed of 18 gauge steel, modified by the welded attachment of a closure flange to accept a 3/16" thick steel lid which.is

~

gasketed"for resistance to high temperature as shown in Figure 1.8.1 and attached by twelve 5/16" minimum steel bolts.

The inside dimensions of the inner containment drum are 13.75" diameter by 27" high.

The maximum hydrogen to uranium atomic ratio.in the UO2 fuel mixtures within the inner containment is 0.45 taking into. account all sources of hydrogeneous material mixed in with the UO -

inner and the outer containers is completely filled with, solid insulating media composed of fire-retardant phenolic foam as specified in Figure 1.8.1.

Four 1/4" diameter holes near the top of the outer container, covered with waterproof tape, would permit steam to escape in the event free moisture in the insulating material were exposed to the heat from an accidental fire during transport.

1.8.2 package Description - Cantents (a)

Type and form of material Uranium oxides enriched to-not more than 4% in U-235 and of density not greater than 10.06 grams per cc, which may contain ammonium oxalate and/or ammonium bicarbonate additivies.

1. 8. 3.1 Single Package - Normal Transport Conditions (a)

The rmal: Packaging component s, i. e., metal d rums and pails, phenolic foam and gasket material are unaffected by temperature extremes in excess of 130*F as demonstrated by the fire test described later. There are no plastic components, therefore no loss of structural integ rity at very low tempe ratures. Since uranium oxide is generated at operating temperatures far in excess of 130*F, there can be no further effect at this temper-ature.

(b)

Pressure: The outer container is pierced by four I /4" diameter pressure relief holes so that no differential pressure will exist at 0. 5 atmosphe res. The inne r containment is pressure. tested to 7 psi after fabrication including flange installation.

(c)

Vibration: The metal-insulating media construction of the DU-7 precludes damage by vibration, and voids cannot be created in the insulation during normal transport.

(d)

Water spray and free drop: Metal drums are' unaffected by water.

A 4-foot free drop produces no damage of consequence to the ship-ment of dry, low-enriched mate rial.

(f)

Compression:

The loaded container is capable of withstanding five times its weight with no change in spacing.

(g)

Summary and conclusions: The tests or assessments set forth above provide assurance that the po.wder or pellet contents are contained in the pails during normal transport and there is no reduction in effectiveness of the package system. Since the maximum quantity of fissile material in the pails is controlled to not more than 90% of the minimum critical mass by administrative control of loading, it is concluded that singic package would be suberitical assuming water inleakage re-sulting in optimum moderation of contents with full reficc' tion.

It has been demonstra,id, moreover, that there would be no.

water inleakage to the product during normal transport conditions.

1. 8. 3. 2 Single Pachage - Accident Evaluation (a)

Free drop: One Model BU-7 test unit loaded with two 5-gallon pails, each containing 100 pounds of iron chips, was dropped from a l

l height of 30 feet, the top head striking a solid concrete pad at an angle. This is believed to be the most damaging attitude l

from the standpoint of retaining the two pails within the drum.

The drum, inner containment and pail lids remained intact and in place, and there was no loss of contents from product pails. Three 2. 5-gallon pails occupy essentially the same.

volume as two 5-gallon pails and, with the maximum uranitun oxide loading produce the same test results within the limits of reproducibility.

(b) Puncture: A 40" drop onto a 6" diameter mandrel resulted in no reduction of effective spacing nor was the drum penetrated.

(c) The rmal: Following the free drop and puncture tests, the package was subjected to a thermal test in an electric furnace at 1475'F i for 30 minutes. There w as no damage to the container of conse-quence to nuclear safety and the gasket of the inner containment remained far below the 400*F service temperaturc." The temper-ature measurement method for the test unit is desc ribed in para;raph

1. 6. 7 on pages 1 -54. 0, 1 -54.1, 1 - 54. 2 and 1 -5 5 of this Appendix D.

The test includes measurements on the outer and inner surfaces of the 3/16" thick lid which demonstrate that the maximum temperature of the gasket in contact with the lid and flange in 200*F.

(d) Water immersion: The package which passed sequentially through the three tests above was immersed under at least three feet of water for not less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. No water leaked into the inner containment.

A rray The criticality. safety of the BU-7 package is demonstrated in GE Document No. NEDO-11277, "The General Electric Model BU-7 Uranium Shipping Container - Criticality Safety Analysis," which,

is attached to this application. The analysis results indicate that the BU-7 may be transported as Fissile Class I, authorization for which is therefore requested.
