PICKER CORPORATi3N 6671 BETA DRIVE / CENT. BLDG. MAYFIELD VILLAGE. OHIO 44143 i i wJ January 4,1980 Charles E. MacDonald Transportation Branch United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington D C 20555

Dear Mr. MacDonald,

I have been in communications with Mr. Dick Odegaarden relevant to our request for amending Certificate of Compliance No. 5796 changing Ceslum-137 to normal form and submit the following data concerning the construction of the Cesium Source Capsule. 1. All Cesium Sources were fabricated by O.R. N. L. (Oak Itidge National Labs.) using capsule parts supplied by Picker. 2. The Cesium source material was encapsulated in two scaled stainless steel shells then put into the tungsten source holder. See the attached draviing for construction. ,C), 3. The inner and outer containers were constructed of type 316 LC stainless steel. The wall thickness is.0G25 inches thick except for the window which is.020 inches thick. The covers are type 316 LC stainless steel.002 inches thick, IIell-arced welded to the container. ~ 4. All welds were made by O.R. N. L. 5. Leak and wipe tests were made by O. R. N. L. in accordance with the AEC/NRC regulations in effect at the time of construction. G. Picker had also performed wipe tests. The Picker wipe test consisted of wiping all the external surfaces of the sealed sources using absorbant paper which was moistened with water. The wipe was placed in a well counter and counted against a standard. All sources were found to be within the regulation requirements in effect at the time of the wipe. All records currently reviewed indicate wipe results less than.005 uc. Some of the present isotope facility personnel believe the regulations at one time may have required.05 uc or less of removable contamination. l(i 8012110 J . P.I C.. K.... E,R... t_ ~

January 4,1980 Pzge 2 Prior to future shipments of the Cesium Sources, wipe tests will be conducted on each source in the following manner. 1. The Cesium Source will be removed from the Cesium head and place in the source exchange container. 2. The source cavity where the source has been installed since installation will have all the surfaces which the source *vas in contact with wiped with moistened absorbant paper. 3. The activity of the wipe will be counted and compared to a standard using equipment which is capable of detecting less than,05 te of contamination. 4. Shipment will be made only if the wipe results are less than.05 uc of contamination. Your expeditious handling of this matter will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours, W h)f AM.engbh Safety Officer Special Systems Division Picker Corporation cc: R. Arndt - AMS W. Ashby D. Churchill K. Draggman N. Kelbicy - AMS R. Locker W. Mog J. Stickney l l ba

The tests (\\_ l substantiated that packages loaded with radioactive contents were certified by the National Campetent Authority of the f 7 i

O Unitied States as meeting the regulatory requirements for type 3" packaging radioactive materials as prescribed inI.A.E.A.regula51nsandSS49CFR173.393 band 173.394 (c) (2) of the USA regulations for the transport of radio-active materials. Calculations for a 3C foot drop test reveal that the basic carton would survive in-tact. In the case of a 45 angle drop on top, the pick up eyes weald be damaged and probably would break-off. The most important requirement of any such designed package is to retain structural integrity and contain shielding and radioactive material in their respective places for both normal and accident conditions. Accident conditions could include an impact which will be later discussed concerning a 30 foot free fall of the package to an unyielding flat surface. The package maybe subjected to fire and this is discussed later with calculations for heat absorbtion when subjected to a 1475 F fire for 1/2" fall of the packages with its total weight upon the end of a 6" Dia steel bar. 2.2 Weights and Center of Gravity The weights of the individual components and total for the packages may be found at # 1.2.1.1.9 for #181375 and # 1.2.1.2.6 for package # 181361.

\\ 2.4 General Standards for All Packages. The general standards for all packages, as specified in 10CFR 71 71.31, are complied with as demonstrated in the following paragraphs. 2.4.1 Chemical and Galvanic Reactions. Since the primary materials of construction for the overpack con-tainers is mild steel and hardwood maple there would be no signifi-cant galvanic nor chemical reaction among the packaging components. 2.4.2 Positive Closure. Both Overpacks (#181361 and #181375) have positive closures which require the removal of screws and nuts respectively in order to separate the cover from its pallet base. These details are described more fully in sections # 1.2.1.1.6 and 1.2.1 ?.5 of the application. 2.4.3 Lifting Devices. Both Overpack covers are equipped with lif ting ears which are designed for lif ting the entire packages weight or just the cover itself as for packaging or unpackaging. Skid runners are previded under both Over-pack pallets to faculate. See reference drawing #181361 and #181375. 2.4.3.1 Lifting Devices for #181375 Overpack Container. The container is provided with four lifting ears at the top, one being for each side. Their location provides a balanced and stable load when the empty or full container is b2ing lifted. l l l 2.4.3.1.1 Calculation for " factor of safety" using only one of four pickup l ears #181375. l l The followingcalculation was made to show that a large factor of safety was built into their construction.

Normal external temperatures of 130 and subsequent internal temperatures of 167 F due to Solar heat and decay heat would have no effect. f')

Expansion of Overpack due to Heat of Sun & Decay, considering the expansion of steel frame and wood liner of Overpack. -6 Coefficient of linear expansion of steel = 6.3 x 10 in. per F. Coef ficient; of linear expansion of wood = Basically Zero. Expansion of fra=e from temperature manufacture assuming mfg. temp. = 75 F. -6 (167 F Skin Temp. - 75 F) x 39" length x 6.3 x 10 = +.0226/ expansion in 39" length. Expansion of wood liner from mfg. temp. = (167 F - 75 F) x 39" x 0 = 0/ expansion la 39" length. This difference would cause an additional loosness of.022 or.011 per side which is inconsequencial. A cold-hot and bubble test were performed at Herron Laboratories under file #M-5125, on Source Capsules. The capsules successfully passed tests of -40 F to 194 F and 203 F without leakage. There is no cooling system and therefore no pipes nor radiators to break nor liquid to escape due to thermal changes. 2.6.1.3 Stress Calculations Based on calculatxons in Sections 2.51 and 2.52, and past history of no adverse results due to fatique and no deformaties observed, no additional calculations are necessary. 2.6.1.4 Comparison with Allowable Stresses. Under normal conditions of transport there would be no release of radioactive material under Section 71.35-1, since a temperature of only 130 F and conditions in paragraph 3.4 would not have any deterimental effects. Also, thermal expansion and contraction under paragraphs 2.6.1.2 would basically have no effset on the capsule nor containers. 2.6.2 Cold Two source capsules were subjected to an actual test of -40 F and si=ulated still air and in shade. 3 tis temperature was maintained for (20) minutes af ter samples had reached stabili-zation. At completion of test these samples were allowed to return to ambient temperature. They then were subjected to a bubble leak test in water at 194 F and 203 F, see Herron Test file #M-5125, and passed successfully. There is no cooling system and thus there are no pipes nor radiator to break nor liquid to escape due to thermal changes. Contraction of Overpack steel frame due to -40 F. Expansion or Contraction = Temp. Diff. x Length x Coefficient of Therm. Exp. Assuming a manufacturing temperature of 75F. Contraction of Overpack steel fgame due to -40 F temperature = (75F -(40F ) x 39" x 6.3 x 10- =.028". ~ ~ 16

i O Contractionofwoodlinerdueto-40Ftemperature=(75F-40F x 39" x 0 =.0". Contraction due to this low temperature would" produce a negidgeable effect since the Overpack is a built up s ructure with a minimum air gap between the outer steel frame and wood liner. This temperature would have no effect on the operation of the package in view of the above. The inner package is normalized at indoor ambient temperature of the about 23C for about (24) hours prior to normal usage. Also, these packages are not normally used at these extremes of temperature. 2.6.3 Pressure. These centainers are not pressure vesseis and no seals are present to restrict equalization of inside and outside pressures. Source capsules were pressure tested for this requirement by Herron Laboratories under file fM-5125 and passed successfully. 2.6.4 Vibration Shipments made by the Picker Corporation over the past ten years have 2hown no ill effects due to vibration incident to transport. Source capsules were tested for this requirement by Herron Lab-s, oratoriec under file #M5125 and passed successfully. 2.6.5 Water Spray. Water Spray tests were performed on the package by Herron Lab-oratories under project L-4920 and passed successfully. 2.6.6 Free Drop of Forty-Eight Inches. This requirement is covered by a more stringent free drop of 30' under section 2.7. I ( 2.6.7 Corner Drop. Not applicable. This requirement is covered by the more stringent l requirement of a 30' corner drop under section 2.7. 2.6.8 Penetration. A (13) pound 1 k" diameter rod dropped from 40" would have no serious effect on the package considering the 1/16" thi'ck steel jacket and 3 5/8" thickness of hardwood maple. Refer to section 2.7.2 which has been calculated for a 40" drop of the Overpack and its entire weight onto the end of a 6" diameter steel bar. 2.6.9 Compression. This requirement is covered by a theoretical 5g load under section 2.5.1. [ T 2.7 Hypotetical Accident Condition. I'\\- / The package, when subjected to hypothetical accident conditions as 17

O specified in appendix "B" of 10CTR 71, =eets the standards in paragraph 71.36 of 10CFR 71, as de=onstrated in the following paragraphs. This application is a consolidated application for both Overpacks

  1. 181361 and i 181375. Since these overpacks exhibit close si=ilarities in construction many of the foregoing analysis are applicable to both.

The following analysis concerns the differences which are unique to the #181361 Overpack. 2.7.1 Free Drop of (30) Feet. 2.7.1.0.1 Velocity and "G" Load Developed by a 30' fall. ~ v (velocity at i= pact) = N2gh height = N2 x 32.2 x 30' 44 f t. per second at time of i= pact = ) a3 unifor= declaration of the assu=irg a 3" defor=atijn (k ft. d 3632 ft. per sec. 44 ft. total = ass a= v = = 2h 2 x k ft. 3632 ft. persec.k= 1132 00 g loa g load a_ = = g 32.2 ft. per sec.' Therefore we will assu=e a 100g load to cover this require =ent. 2.7.1.0.2 Stress on-Hold Down Belts and Tie Bars. Since a 30' free fall will produce a 100g load caused by the Shipping / Exchange #3320AR container on its h61 ding devices would be: 'a'100g 0 (2924) = 292,400f load. = Considering shear stress on the (4) 3/4-10 bolts securing Shipping / Exchange container to its base. 'a'here a 3/4-10 bolt has a design strength of 110,000 psi. F S+ "A 218,862 Psi. 292,400 lb, = = 4 (.334 in.') Therefore these (4) bolts would break. Considering this shear stress on the (2) I k" dia=eter tie bars: 'alere these tie bars have a cross sectional area of 1.23 in,2 and were =ade fro = #1020 steel with a strength of 65,000 psi. These bars hold each end. F 292,400 lb. = 59,600 psi S A = = 4 (1.25)' T 4 Therefore these tie bars would hold and in turn would restrict I motion of the Shipping / Exchange container to within the clearance between tie bars and their clearance holes in skid, or within 1/16". 18 l

O Considering shear stress on the (20) 1/2-13 bolts securing top to skid on #181375 overpack: Where a 1/2-13 bolt has a designer area of.1419 in.2 per bolt and are made from material with a st.rength of 110,000 psi. 87,000 psi. 332,500 S = = = 20 x (.1419) Therefore these bolts would not shear. 2.7.1.0.3 Stress on Skids and Bottom Panel. Drop of 30' with the Entire Load on the Skid Runners at Impact Bottom area of (2) Skids for Impact. (37) Length (3.75) Width x (2) 277.5 in.2 A = 7,800 psi. parallel to grain 31" S Stress = F = SA = 7,800 (277.5) = 2,164,500 lb.

Therefore the screws which hold skid to frame and screws which l hold the head and hold down devices will have very little relative l motion and would survive this 30' drop. i Impact Load Transferred frem runners to bottom panel. The grain lay of maple wood laminationa is paralled to the lay of l l the skids. However, the bottom weldment is constructed of four 3/8" x 3" x 3" angles and six internal straps of 1/4 inch x 4 inch ) which form a " Basket Weave Affect". In addition, the 16 gauge steel plate is welded to the straps and angles. This construction is illustrated in Ref. Document 17 of original application. If 100g load is distributed over the (2) skid areas then load per In.2 1440Lb./In.2 100(4000} is: W = = 277 In Therefore the bottom panel will withstand this load. Since the bottom Feldment is more rigiditly constructed than the top, the top will be analyzed as a simple supported beam with resistance at the extreme n. ends and the relative head motion will be taken into consideration. [ The previous calculation shows the bottom construction will with-stand the distrubuted load of the skids. 19 ., _. -~

2.7.1.0.4 Relative }btion of Cobalt Head (Upside Down Drop) Nominal clearance between top of head and lower-inside surface of top Overpack is 20,375 - 19.188 = 1.187 in (1 3/161n.) where head height is 19.188".

O 2.7.1.2 Side Drop Since construction of sides and top of Overpack are similar (reference calculaticrs for stress on Top # 2.7.1.2.1) on side analysis is required for Overpack or Head damage. Analysis on # 181375 Top shows that unit will survive impact load. From previous analysis the bold-down bolts of Overpack #181375 and tie bars of #181361 will withstand a 100 force in a direction 8 normal to the tie bars. When the 100 force is paralled to the Tie Bars, the hold down bolts will shear. As pointed out in the previous treatment and original applications, the tie bars will withstand a sliding force of 10. g The impact would be absored primarily by the lower supporting structure since its extremities extend slightly beyond the steel sphere. The steel sphere will withstand its portion of the impact I force since it was demonstrated that the brass head casting of similar thickness will withstand the total impact force.

2.7.1.4 Obliqu2 Drop Likewise as a corner drop, the load will be supported by the container corners. Where as in the corner drop t a sides were involved to absorb the shock, an oblique drop will involve three sides. Thus, the sr.ess for each will be less than would be experienced by the corner drop. Therefore, no calculation is necessary for this section over and above that already calculated for section # 2.7.1.3. 2.7.1.5 Summary Under hypothetical accident conditions of a 30' Drop, the containers and contents vould reach a speed of 44 ft. per second and would be subjected to stress caused by a 100g load. (Reference section 2.7.1.0.1). Under these conditions and with an upside down drop of Overpack

  1. 181361, the two Ik inch diameter tie bars would hold and resist motion of shipping / exchange container #3320AR. This motion would be restricted to within limits of loosness (1/16) inches between these bars and the container.

Such a drop would cause the (4) 3/4-10 bolts, which secure the shipping / exchange container to its pallet to break loose. However, it would still be restricted to within the Overpack cavity and would not in itself be damaged nor break looce. Using the scme conditions on overpack #181375, the (20) -13 bolts cacuriag top to pallet would hold and prevent the irradiator machine head from escaping. However, the (4) 3/4-10 x 6 inch bolts securing hold down brackets to pallet and (4) 3/8-16 x 5 3/4 inch bolts securing irradiator machine head directly to pallet would break. the irradiator machine head would still be restricted within the Over pack cavity and could not escape. Calculstions show that if the Irradiator Machine Head were to break loose, in an upside down drop, it would substain some. damage by squashing slightly but would still retain the source wheel and source ia a safe "Off" and locked position. If the load Instead had landed on the bottom skids, they would have resisted d is load and remained in tact. This load then transmitted to the Overpack bottom panel would have been resisted by the strength of this panel and its weldment. In the case of either Overpacks the Irradiator Machine Head and Shipping / Exchange Containers would have been restricted within their Overpacks and in a safe condition. 2.7.2 Puncture calculation for a 40 inch fall of #181361 Overpack on the end of a 6 inch diameter steel bar. For Overpacks # 181361 and 181375 the most severe damage would be encountered if the maximum overpack weight of 4000# were to fall 40 in. onto the end of a 6 in. diameter bar.

Neutron Source. 5.3 Model Specification m del 3320 AR container contain.ng The catalog 181361 overpack with 80 a 2.5 cm diameter 5219 Rhm Cobalt source of about 4559 curies was used by Picker in the evaluation. This was reported in Picker Corporation application dated October 17, 1975 on pages 40, 41 and 42. Copies of this data is included in 5.5 appendix. The irradiator heads will be much lower in leakage as they must comply with NCRP report 33 (less than 10 Mr/Hr. at 1 meter on any spot and the average over 26 points must be less than 2 Mr/Hr.) 5.3.1 Description of the Radial and Axial Shielding Configuration. (' ' The radial shielding is steel and lead, In the axial direction lead, steel, tungsten, brass and depleted uranium are used. 4 This is because the source window end is pointed up in the stored position inside the containers. There are no differences for normal conditions and the accident conditions. 5.3.2 Shield Regional Densities. 99% pure lead is used and certifications are required. 17 density tungsten is used. Calculations were not done. Data was based upon actual measurements. 5.4 Shielding Evaluation A G M Survey meter was used to measure the gamma dose rates at the selected points outside the package. 5.5 Appendix Gp. 48

8.0 Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program. 8.1 Acceptance Tests. The tests to be performed prior to the first use of the package are as detailed in the following paragraphs. 8.1.1 Visual Inspection. A. Visual mechanical inspection of the components parts required in the manufacture of the package and contain-ment vessel to assure compliance to the drawings. Acceptance is upon compliance or acceptance by a material review committee consisting of a representative from Quality Assurance, Engineering and Inventory Control. Items of non compliance are presented to the material review committee who decides to scrap, rework or deviate for use as is. pection of the sub-assemblies to assure B. Inprocess Visual proper manufacture to the assembly drawings. Acceptance /h and rejections are the same as in "A" above. Yl C. Final Inspection of the assembled products to assure proper function and safety. All items are brought into full compliance before release for use. The material review committee meets to decide the disposition of non-conforming material. 8.1.2 Structural and Pressure Tests. l A. Structural Tests As determined from the drawings tests are made on the welds by X-Ray, magnetic particle or dye penetrant tests. The requirements for acceptance of these tests are detailed on the drawings where the tests are required. Calculations indicate compliance of the design. B. Pressure tests are not performed since calculation indicate complete compliance. 8.1.3 Leak Tests. l Leak tests are performed on each source, as detailed in ANSI N542-1977 A 2.2.2, at the time of manufacture by Advanced Medical Systems, Inc. A certificate of this test is provided. Any source not meeting this requirement is not released for shipment. The source is the con-O tainment vessel. 52

g S.I.4 Cc=pc ent Test. A. Visual rechanical tests as detailed in 5.1.1-A are perfc =ed. 3. Material Certificatics a:d/or testing zay be perferred, if required by the drawings. C=pliance to the drawings is :.anda: cry. The :aterial reviev =ittee handles dispcsitics of :::-cc=fc=1 g ce:penets. 5.1.4.1 Not Applicable. S.1.4.2 Gaskets. Gaskets, even though used, are =c: necessary for the prepar per-for._ance of the package. They are a carry ever frc: when the containers were shipped without an overpa-k. S.I.t.3 Net Applicable. 5.1.5 Tests for Shielding 1::egrity. A radiatics survey of each new package is cade. Readings are taken at a dis:as:e of 1 se:er frc: the source and c the surface of this package. These readings are of the package. (Tele:herapy head er shipping container) at the 26 points as described i: N.C.R.P. report no. 33

4. 2. 2 (a).

The readi=gs obtained are extrapolated to the design axi = capacity, if the scurce used for the readings is less than the design maxi =u: seurce si:e. he readings when extrapolated to the design._aximu= source si:e =ust be less than 10=r/hr. at any point at 1 =eter and less tha: 200 :r/hr. c the surface. When place 1 in the everpack these readings vill be reduced further due to the greater dis:ance of the outer surface frc: the scur e and the shielding of the overpack zaterials. No ec::ainer is released for use if readi=gs are in excess of the above li=its. S.I.6 Ther al Acceptance Tests. So special ther a1 tests are cade. The axi-- heat generated by decay is less than 200 Vat:s. Whe: contained in the overpack the temperature of the container rises to abeu 50 C at an a:hiest temperture of 22 C. G ~ 53

t 1 i O 8.2 Maintenance Program Before each use the nackage is thoroughly inspected. All defects are corrected before releasing for shipment. The maintenance program is therefore, a continuous program. Replacement of a package is not anticipated since repairs are continually made and normal life expectancy is in excess of 20 years under these conditions. Repairs are made so that the repaired area is no less stronger than the original package. Exact replacement parts are used in all cases. ' Shielding tests which are made prior to each use, at 1 meter and on the surface and the tests detailed in section 7.1 are the tests to be made. 1 O t t
