Model No.: NPC (2)

Description A cubic stainless steel and foam outer packaging with nine cylindrical containment vessels for the transport of type A quantities of low-enriched uranium oxide powder, pellets, and compounds of uranium as defined in 5(b ). The overall package dimensions are approximately 45 inches wide, 45 inches deep, and 44 inches high.

The outer packaging consists of a 10-gage stainless steel outer shell with a ceramic fiber board liner and rigid polyurethane foam filler. The foam filler has a three-by-three array of vertical cylindrical cutouts that accommodate stainless steel sleeves for placement of the containment vessels. The outer packaging is equipped with a top cover that is secured to the outer packaging body by a combination of 16 closure cap screws and four closure strips secured by 24 bolts.

The containment vessel is a maximum 8.515 inches in inner diameter and approximately 32 inches in overall length. The containment vessel is constructed of 18-gage stainless steel, surrounded by a cadmium sheet and polyethylene wrap within a 24-gage stainless steel jacket. The containment vessel is closed by a 16-gage closure lid, a silicone rubber gasket, and a band clamp assembly, which is composed of a 0.063-inch thick strap and retainer, a T-bolt, and a nut.

OF The material form column in Table 1 must comply with the following constraints:

Solutions and/or liquids are not authorized and there shall not be free liquid present. The solid form material within any individual NPC must be the same. Authorized uranium compounds may be mixed with other non-fissionable diluent materials (such as sand, iron, iron hydroxide, silica, carbon from ash. etc.) except for deuterium. tritium and beryllium. Materials such as uranium metal and uranium metal alloys are not authorized.

Homogeneous/heterogeneous uranium materials are limited to solid form with a uranium weight fraction (UFACT} less than or equal to U02 (UFACT < 0.88144} at theorical density(< 10.96 glee}.

For purposes of the homogenous to heterogeneous transition: if the particle size distribution is such that a majority of the particles are 1730 um or greater, then the unrestricted particle size payload of Table 1 applies. If a majority of the particle size distribution is below 1730 µm, the homogenous payload of Table 1 remains valid.

The maximum content mass of any ICCA inner packaging materials (e.g., HOPE/LOPE plastic bags or bottles) is unrestricted provided the mean hydrogen atom density of the material contents to be shipped inside the inner volume of each ICCA is not greater than water (< 6.6734e-02 atoms/b-cm). This limit is applied as an average hydrogen density of the entire content mass (uranium compounds and packaging materials) over the fixed inside volume of each ICCA..,.

Authorized materials also include U02 pellets present in standard BWR and PWR reactor fuel assembly lattice designs (e.g., PWR: 17X17: BWR: 10X10. 9X9. 8X8 nuclear fuel assemblies).

The payload within an NPC may be distributed in any ratio within the nine ICCAs, provided that the content of any one ICCA never exceeds 132.2 pounds (60 kg). and the maximum uranium payload of Table 1 are met. Within an ICCA the payload can be enclosed in plastic poly bottle receptacles (e.g., bags, poly bottles, etc.).

5.(c)

Criticality Safety Index 0.7

6.

In addition to the requirements of Subpart G of 1 O CFR Part 71:

(a)

The package must be prepared for shipment and operated in accordance with the Operating Procedures in Chapter 7 of the application, as supplemented. Within each ICCA, the contents and secondary packaging (i.e., dunnage) must provide a snug fit. The payload may be enclosed in plastic receptacles (e.g., bags, bottles, etc.). For payloads in plastic bottles, empty bottles may be used to minimize movement of the bottles within the ICCA.

(b)

Each packaging must be acceptance tested and maintained in accordance with the Acceptance Tests and Maintenance Program in Chapter 8 of the application.

7.

The package authorized by this certificate is hereby approved for use under the general license provisions of 10 CFR 71.17.
