Dear Mr. Mcdonald:
i S
C0 S
Certificate of Compliance Number 5957 for the Model BMI-l Shipp,ing Capk 3
expires November 30, 1980. Batte11e's Columbus Laboratories requests thato the certificate be renewed for the normal period of 5 yearsglo suappre this request, we are enclosing eight (8) copies of " Safety MnaTysis port for the Model BMI-l' Shipping Cask, Revision A, March 28, 1980".
Th revision of the Safety Analysis Report for Packaging (SARP) was prepared to assist you in performing your review.
Since the cask was originally designed, licensed, and fabricated in 1963 and 1964, several amendments have been offered and approved. Including the original SARP, a total of 17 documents have been submitted to the U.S. NRC for review. In Revision A, we have brought together the current applicable analyses from the 17 documents into an orderly arrangement. The format of Revision A complies as far as practical with that suggested in U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Guide 7.9.
Since most of the additions and changes to the SARP are informative in nature and are not safety related, we feel that this renewal request is a minor amendment under Category llB of the U.S. NRC Rules and Regulations, Title 10, Chapter 1, Part 170, Paragraph 170.31.
Accordingly, we have enclosed a check for $2,800, the license review fee for this category.
The following discusses the safety related. features of all changes and additions to the SARP.
1.
Section 0 Section 0 is a preface to Revision A which is informative in nature. The preface explains how the 17 documents have been integrated into the revised SARP and how each page in Revision A is cross referenced back to one or more of the original documents. A table in this section lists all 17 documents by title. The preface also explains how added information or changes to the information from the original 17 documents is identified. There is no safety related information in Section 0.
